The Surprising Secret To A Healthier Gut

The article discusses the practice of fecal microbial transplantation, which involves introducing a new batch of microorganisms into the intestines to reset the gut microbiome. This treatment is currently used experimentally to combat antibiotic-resistant gut infections, but promising research suggests that fecal transplants could have potential applications in treating other conditions such as diabetes, anxiety, and depression. However, there is still much to learn about the optimal composition of the gut microbiome and the most effective use of fecal transplants.

The Story of Cholera

The article describes how cholera spread through a village and how it was prevented. Women carried the cholera germs home in the water, flies carried them on their feet, and unwashed hands spread them too. The author teaches people to always wash their hands with soap and safe water after going to the toilet and to dig latrines far from the river, at least 30 meters away, and always wash and peel food, cook it, and eat it hot and protected from flies.
