Question: Where do disease-causing microbes come from?

Dr. Rawls: Through my research, I’m finding that microbes are a big factor.

Because as it turns out, all the things we pick up through life and also things from our intestinal tract and our skin trickle into our bloodstream and end up in our tissues.

And if our cells are healthy, all those things stay in a dormant state. But if you stress your cells chronically, these things start to emerge.

And so this concept of dormant microbes in our tissue, they’re even calling it the dormant microbiome, that’s a big deal. And that’s something that there are no drugs on Earth that can address.
