Human Microbiome aka Invisible biological organ
• Number of bacterial cells in the human body is estimated to be around 38 trillion, while the estimate for human cells is around 30 trillion.
• Types of human microbiota include bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and viruses.
• Human microbiota contains more genetic information than human DNA &it weighs nearly 1.5 kg
• Human microbiota forms an invisible continuous living bio-shield of non-human origin that covers every square millimetre of skinand lines every orifice (including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts)
Human microbiome is useful in various ways (Human Microbiome Project 2012)
• Influences metabolic functions, including energy production&tissue growth.
• Aids in complex carbohydrate fermentation and absorption, provides a significant source of a range of essential vitamins (particularly thoseof the B and K groups)
• Regulates growth and development of innate and adaptive immune system
• Modulates the host’s immune response to resist infection and disease
• Neutralizes enteric pathogens, metabolizes and neutralizes dietary carcinogens
• Gut microbiome plays a role in the development of the brain, including the formation of the blood-brain barrier, myelination, and neurogenesis.
• Contributes to behaviour and mood, social interaction, personality development, reproduction and fertility.

Fortunately, homeopathy medicine does not harm the human microbiome, it is ecologically sustainable andverified clinically.
