 +<blockquote>There’s a 0.1% difference in our genomes, but there may be a 50% difference in our metagenome. If the variability is higher, you’re more likely to find a relevant signal.... It’s hard to be a prophet, but we see so much more potential in the human-other-genome than in our own genome.

 Strong evidence indicates that pathogens play the primary role in chronic disease. Scientists have confirmed that bacteria are [[home:pathogenesis:transmission|transmitted]] through a series of vectors including:  Strong evidence indicates that pathogens play the primary role in chronic disease.

 While there is no evidence that human genes contain instructions for chronic disease, there is reason to believe that a body's unique pathogenic load, its [[home:pathogenesis:successive_infection#pea_soup|pea soup]], causes mutations in human DNA. Pea soup refers to the diverse and ever-changing human microbiota, a broad array of bacteria comprised of various forms and at least hundreds of species. Many of these bacteria were thought only recently never to exist in man. A 2007 study, for example, found [[http://www.divediscover.whoi.edu/hottopics/bacteria.html|hydrothermal vent eubacteria]] on a prosthetic hip joint.(({{pubmed>long:17501992}})) While there is no evidence that human genes contain instructions for chronic disease, there is reason to believe that a body's unique pathogenic load, its [[home:pathogenesis:successive_infection#pea_soup|pea soup]], causes mutations in human DNA.
