500 Previously Unknown Microorganisms and 800 Bacterial Viruses Mapped in Intestinal Flora

Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark report that they have identified and mapped 500 previously unknown microorganisms and more than 800 bacterial viruses in our intestinal flora. Researching gut flora and the "microbiome" is the new trend in research and medicine, as the age of antibiotics has passed. New antibiotic-resistant diseases present an enormous threat to global health. If you are not familiar with the term "microbiome", you soon will be. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being poured into researching the microbiome to develop new drugs and therapies. But are we really going to trust in the modern pharmaceutical industry to provide a new class of "microbiome" drugs to solve the problems they created in the first place? Or are there natural ways of restoring one's own microbiome without the "help" of the medical system?
