(Revised in 2021) We are surrounded, inside and out, by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. The spread of infectious microorganisms has threatened or killed millions during recent pandemics. Dangerous bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Can we win the war against infectious disease? In Probiotics: Protection Against Infection, we find clear evidence for probiotics' ability to directly engage and defeat infectious microorganisms, boost our moods, help us sleep, improve our digestion, and fight a number of degenerative diseases. We find new clinical proof of probiotics' ability to specifically boost the immune system while under attack. Here, we find the facts about our microbiome, which species help which conditions, how to find and take probiotic supplements, how to make probiotic foods, and more helpful information about the tiny helpers inside and on our bodies.
