Listening to Dr. Hazen’s talk, I’m hearing the same “Microbiome” talking points that you hear over and over, with no solid data to back it up. A simple question for anyone who talks about the “microbiome” with any authority….. how do you measure the total microbiome load? Do you measure it in total number of microbes (which could be a number into the trillions), or do you do it by weight or mass, like grams or pounds? What is the process for doing this? This was the point I made in my other thread on an alternative idea behind antibiotic resistance. If we don’t know this basic starting point, then it really is pointless to talk about “microbiome diversity.”
Dr. Hazen also seems to suggest that you can sterilize your gut by cleaning your counter with Clorox (17:22). This is very obviously not correct, and I’m not sure what she was trying to say. Usually, when people talk about a “sterile gut,” it’s assumed to have happened by antibiotics. Usually, this is followed immediately by the claim of “gut dysbiosis.” We could probably coin this as the “Antibiotic Paradox.” But again, we really would need a microbiome load measurement prior to the antibiotic course, during the course, just after the course, and 3 weeks (or more) after the course, really get an idea of what goes on. I don’t think such studies have been done, and getting back to the first point, I don’t think they even currently have a way to do such a study.
Also she didn’t find “Covid 19” in any microbiome, but instead, found genetic sequences that are said to be associated with so called “Covid 19.” In itself, this isn’t shocking nor meaningful in any way, as there are well over 10 Million genetic sequences associated with so called Covid, and they keep on adding sequences by the day (which are said to be “mutations”). The “genetic sequence” is just another surrogate test, like the swabs she mentions. You can’t confirm the results of one surrogate test with a different surrogate test.
