    The email linked to the blog. The question was asked at the end of the blog.

    I explained the other reasons, but a link doesn’t help. Phishing is one big reason.

    However later in your comment you mention the email was sent to people in a mailing list, which I’m assuming means they voluntarily enrolled.

    In that case, it goes back to messaging. It still sounds like a scam. That’s still the core issue in all this: how your message is presented.

    You may be interested in https://humanmicrobiome.info/cancer/.

    I’m already knowledgeable on study of the human microbiome. That’s why I’m commenting on here. Having a “perfect” biome still wouldn’t prevent all cancers. Non-Hodgekins POST lymphoma for example. Rare, yes, but still thousands of people. And when you count all rare and unusual cancers it’s still millions. And there’s still no good evidence that the perfect biome would stop an existing cancer.

    Speaking of, it also wouldn’t help anyone with an organ transplant either. You’d still need immunosuppressants (or the newer drug class, immuneobliviants) which would still affect the biome. At least until compatible organs can be lab grown.

    There is evidence that it would immensely help with preventing nearly all human-cell borne cancers however, and in my opinion, THAT’S something your messaging should focus strongly on. Having a proven potential to stop a majority of cancers is still huge, and to the less knowledgeable person, sounds much more realistic and obtainable.

    This is not correct. Not everyone gets sick from x virus.

    Ah but see you’re admitting people still will get sick with currently incurable diseases. That’s what I meant about your messaging being flawed - you’re touting this as a cure all, when really it’s a mass preventative (which again, is still extremely important and something really big).
