The Human Superorganism
How the Microbiome Is Revolutionizing the Pursuit of a Healthy Life
About the book
Microbes are at the center of Rodney Dietert's account of rising noncommunicable diseases such as allergies, asthma, obesity, heart disease and autism. Dietert, an award-winning immunogenetics researcher, challenges two long-held beliefs: that people are better off free of foreign microbes, and that the human genome holds the key to future medical advances. Microorganisms, he notes, make up to 90 percent of the body's cells across more than a thousand species, and he links their decline to diseases that now cause 63 percent of human deaths. He recommends ancient rather than fad foods, describes protections against unsafe chemicals and drugs, and also offers a self-care guide and a plan for public health.
Moon Express founder Naveen Jain said he loves it, pairing it with Jeff Bland's Disease Delusion as a holistic view of the body.

On the healthcare side on the microbiome, I really love the book called, "Disease Delusion" by Jeff Bland and "The Human Superorganism." I just love both of them. It gives you a whole holistic view of the body.
