Kind of limited resource base how can we help them keep it intact and also
how can we learn things from what their microbiom has been and where it's going.
That will eat, aid us and the rest of the world.
And so that raises other questions.
What's the window of time of loss and how can we restore?
So that we can prevent.
How, how can we prevent further degradation?
And at, at what point can we turn things around and, and, ameliorate them?
Here studying the Hatsa perhaps gives us opportunities to
discover organisms that one day we may give back.
To people in the United States or, or, or people here in Africa as well.
Because modernization is proceeding extremely rapidly.
There's been a perception that antibiotics have no cost.
We've been using them more and more for more minor.
Kinds of ailments [NOISE] and problems on the thought that there is no cost, but
maybe there's a little benefit.
But once we understand that there's costs, then we rebalance the equation.
We find that the effects of antibiotics are additive to the effects of,
of rich diets.
So that 2 plus 2 can equal 50.
That kind of thing.
We, we have to be more judicious, in our use of antibiotics.
I'm impressed by the Swedes.
They're only using 40% of the antibiotics we're using in the United States,
at every age.
So it immediately tells us 60% of our antibiotic use in the United States is,
is unnecessary.
Probably the numbers even higher.
And so this is guided me to tell my family and
friends to minimize antibiotic use unless it's really necessary.
And to tell my physician colleagues which I do a lot.
These are the cost of antibiotic use.
