Thats exactly right. This science is exciting and promising but still in its infancy. Fortunately using food as medicine can't hurt so it is always worth a try for everyone.
On the microbiome...
They have done successful fecal transplants for people with c diff and have had good results. Literally just by putting someone's healthy poop into another persons butt
