If you have uploaded/transfered your 16s or shotgun sample to Microbiome Prescription and then logged in. You will see the page below.

Select your latest sample (if more than one) and then click on the link at the bottom right.

This will take you to a page like the one shown below. Select one or more of the conditions you have and click [Get Report] at bottom. The page shows how many bacteria shifts matches that reported in the literature (in this example 27 studies) and how strong you ranked against other people (67%ile).

The result is a long report. The key sections are:

• Significant Bacteria Shifts: the most significant bacteria of those matched
  • Note: above we have 27 studies, the number of bacteria may be less.
• Cross Validated Suggestions: Items reported from studies that help ME/CFS and which we also computed will help correction bacteria shifts.
• Probiotic Species Impact by R² associations: The probiotics that are computed to help most using a private data source
• Additional Suggestions: Items not cited in studies but computed to will help correct bacteria shifts.

Examples Report Treatment Suggestions for CFS Patient.html. NOTE: the reports will be different based on your microbiome.

Cautionary Note

The suggestions are likely to differ from those computed elsewhere on the site. The studies usually just indicate lower or higher amount and lacks precision on how much lower or higher is significant. This results in different bacteria being selected.

The preferred way is to use Symptoms

And then select your symptoms.

While this usually gives better results, it does not give links to studies which MDs often want to see.

BEST PRACTICE is to do what both methods agree upon.
