Reply to comment by Malalang in A new study has explored changes to the gut microbiome in people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The study identified that people who were diagnosed with the condition less than four years previously have altered proportions of certain microbiota species. by rjmsci

An amazingly large portion of cancer, autoimmunity (diabetes 1, arthritis, MS, ect), and neurodegenerative diseases are linked to viruses.

Some of this is also linked to bacteria as well. However, it actually seems viruses may be the worse of the two.

Yeah, I know at least 2 people that got their hearts destroyed by a virus.

Aren't there bacteria strains that kill viruses?

Yeah viruses are really nasty. Some will yes to protect their host which is really cool. Look up the term virovore. It is really cool and I think the next breakthrough in antivirals.
