Missing Microbes by Martin J Blaser (Perseu) Epub torrent

Tracing one scientist’s journey toward understanding the crucial
importance of the microbiome, this revolutionary book will take
readers to the forefront of trail-blazing research while revealing
the damage that overuse of antibiotics is doing to our health:
contributing to the rise of obesity, asthma, diabetes, and certain
forms of cancer. In Missing Microbes, Dr. Martin Blaser invites us
into the wilds of the human microbiome where for hundreds of
thousands of years bacterial and human cells have existed in a
peaceful symbiosis that is responsible for the health and equilibrium
of our body. Now, this invisible eden is being irrevocably damaged
by some of our most revered medical advances—antibiotics—threatening
the extinction of our irreplaceable microbes with terrible health
consequences. Taking us into both the lab and deep into the fields
where these troubling effects can be witnessed firsthand, Blaser
not only provides cutting edge evidence for the adverse effects
of antibiotics, he tells us what we can do to avoid even more
catastrophic health problems in the future.
