Summary:
"Tracing one scientist's journey toward understanding the crucial importance of the microbiome, this revolutionary book will take readers to the forefront of trail-blazing research while revealing the damage that
overuse
of
antibiotics
is doing to
our
health: contributing to the rise of obesity, asthma, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. In
Missing
Microbes
, Dr. Martin Blaser invites us into the wilds of the human microbiome where for hundreds of thousands of years bacterial and human cells have existed in a peaceful symbiosis that is responsible for the health and equilibrium of
our
body. Now, this invisible eden is being irrevocably damaged by some of
our
most revered medical advances--antibiotics--threatening the extinction of
our
irreplaceable
microbes
with terrible health consequences. Taking us into both the lab and deep into the fields where these troubling effects can be witnessed firsthand, Blaser not only provides cutting edge evidence for the adverse effects of
antibiotics
, he tells us what we can do to avoid even more catastrophic health problems in the future"--Provided by publisher.
