To tell us about germs: a pioneer in their field
This extraordinary conference organized by medicine houseIt is the first of its kind in London. It will be chaired by Dr. Serge Balon-Perin, a pioneer in this field. A dietitian and functional medicine specialist, he is also chair of the Microbiota Clinical Applications Research Center and vice chair of the Clinical Laboratory Scientific Committee specializing in nutritional biology and intestinal microbiota. Active on this subject is Dr. Serge Balon-Perin, a member of the Belgian Association for the Study of Obesity (BASO) and lecturer for the University Diploma in Nutrition at the Paris Descartes Medical School (Paris V).
But what are germs anyway?
It is difficult to imagine that our bodies have ten to a hundred times more bacteria than human cells. Most of them, the equivalent of two kilograms, live in a shelter in the large intestine, the colon, where billions of billions of bacteria make up the intestinal microflora that today is called “intestinal microbiota”. It is a true extrahuman organ of great complexity, neglected for a long time, but nonetheless controlling our health. Scientific data accumulates every week to prove the involvement of gut bacteria in the majority of emerging chronic diseases. Developments that form the basis of preventive medicine: the medicine of tomorrow.
