“A healthy gut is the root of all health” is a quote from Hippocrates (around 300 BC). Many naturopathic systems (TCM, Aryuveda, Hildegard medicine, etc.) attribute a similarly important role to the gut. Even if much is not yet finally clarified and understood, the latest research results increasingly point to a connection between certain changes in the intestinal microflora and various disease patterns:
