I did a post earlier this year on increasing this genus. As always, some are high and some are low. The working hypothesis is that the high genus are causing many symptoms. CFS have many symptoms — so different high genus are expected. This makes effective treatment more difficult; in theory with uBiome results we can individualize treatment for the person’s uBiome shifts.
