Winning the War on Cancer by Robert Skopec in Progressing Aspects in Pediatrics and Neonatology - Lupine Publishers
A new study has uncovered how brain injury can be worsened by bacteria
in the gut. The gut-brain connection is one of the more fascinating new
areas of medical research. This intriguing two-way axis has been found
to have numerous unexpected effects. On one hand some studies have
demonstrated how magnetic brain stimulation can alter person's gut
microbiome while other studies have shown how gut bacteria could
potentially play a role in the onset of PTSD (post traumatic stress
syndrome) and Alzheimer's. Studies in patients and subsequent mouse
research really drive home that our gut microbiomes modulate both
systemic and anti-tumor immunity, said Jennifer Wargo, a surgical
oncologist and geneticist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer
Center. She is planning clinical trials to see if fecal transplant in
cancer patients could improve immunotherapy success rates. The main
conclusion from this is: You can change your microbiome.
