Wonderful overview!
I have just pushed a new update to the
http://microbiomeprescription.azurewebsites.net/ website. The new page lists bacteria associated with specific symptoms and conditions.
Almost all published studies report “found average of patients X bacteria is statistically {higher|lower} than the controls”. If you look through my Condition templates, you will see that for some conditions, one study reported high and another low — dilemma!
Not dilemma, but a hint to the nature of the problem.
Over the last 6 years, I have been ascribing ME/CFS ets to a microbiome dysfunction – that is, a complex shifting of bacteria that alters the metabolites that the body receives. The key work is complex shifting. It is not, too high or too low — which is a naive simplistic thinking of the issue.
Statistical tests on averages on less sensitive

Biff: LET’S DIG UP TOXINS, PURIFY THEM, AND INJECT THEM INTO OURSELVES! AND BABIES! AND PREGNANT WOMEN! AND LET’S PUT THEM INTO PAINT THAT WE USE IN OUR HOMES WE LIVE IN, AND PUMP THEM INTO THE AIR WE BREATHE! AND LET’S MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER WE DRINK COMES INTO OUR HOMES IN PIPES THAT LEACH LEAD!
Buff: ARE YOU MAD?
Biff: NO, BUT WE WILL BE!
The Romans drank beverages prepared in lead vessels, and brought spring water into their homes through lead pipes. Lead poisoning undoubtedly hastened the fall of the Roman empire. So when we think about the evidence that we are harming ourselves, and our children, with lead in the water, mercury in the air, mercury in flu vaccines, and aluminum in many other vaccines, one has to wonder: what are the likely effects on society?

UPDATE: HELP ME BUILD THE WWDNYK STUDIO
NB:This article was originally published on Medium but that account was silenced following publication.
“GET YOUR VACCINES! HERD IMMUNITY! You anti-vaxxers are putting other people at risk!”
This level of ‘debate’ is an emotional appeal to fear and is a form of coercion.
In reality, many current vaccines have reached the limit of their usefulness, and there is no hiding it.
Worse, some current vaccines may make the vaccinated more susceptible to infection from the very pathogens they were designed to immunize against- or other pathogens that the vaccine does not target.
I’ve looked at toxicity of metals like aluminum and mercury in great detail and find a great deal of support in the scientific literature for serious issues with injection of thimerosal and aluminum. Tens of thousands of hours and two and half papers later, we have a viable theory for…

Comprehensive lists of autoantigens, i.e., the body’s own molecules, mainly proteins that become targets of the body’s own antibodies, autoantibodies, are available but they’re not easy to find especially for non-specialists.
Typically, researchers specializing in one autoimmune condition or disease periodically write reviews on the topic and such reviews typically tabulate the most common autoimmune targets identified thus far in that condition or disease.
For example, a 2012 review article lists 81 autoimmune diseases along with their prominent targets (1).
However, recently some researchers have made the effort to trawl through thousands of papers published over several decades and collated the information about autoantigens targeted by autoantibodies scattered across them. The result is an alphabetized and searchable database they call AagAtlas database 1.0 (2). It is freely accessible here: AAgAtlas-index
Its Browse & Download section offers an A-to-Z downloadable list of autoantigens identified thus far. Expectation…
