InquilineKea Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) ubiome is dead, as is American Gut, and mike lustgarten is negative on viome (not to mention that viome doesnt even report species abundance) Edited February 21 by InquilineKea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Put Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I got tested by ubiome and wouldn't put much stock in its reports, even at the $99 I paid. It seemed like a scam and turned out to be one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorF Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 (edited) A lab closed to me provides now a sale for some genetic test of microbiota. At first glance my curiosity suggested me to take it but reading more and thinking about it raised a big concern of usability. - there are hundreds of inhabitants there, no "normal" for everyone is ever possible - in my case the balance is different after every diet change, I am running weeks on one way of eating, then a short trip for several days or a week that causing me to switch to locally available food, then back to home-style; almost always it changes according to my feelings/observations, so there could be many "normal" states per person even w/o known disturbances like desease and antibiotics, stress and so on. just one healthy diet changed to another one, staying the same style but a bit different in composition - the original use type of such test is to help detect known bad cases, while there is no "normal" or rather many "normal" states there are known bad/offensive things and sometimes they could be discovered with such tests. So I think if a person has no concerns usually mentioned in prescriptions for such tests - it will be a waste of money, just because the way things works. And this will be the case for many years, imho of course. Br, Igor Edited February 21 by IgorF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lustgarten Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Bristle for the oral microbiome-an argument can be made it's more important when considering the link with AD for oral bacteria: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
