- Just Give Me Suggestions
- Cross Validated Suggestions
Key Differences
| Description | Just Give Me | Cross Validated |
| Bacteria Considered | All bacteria | Only bacteria associated with condition from Pub Med Studies |
| Suggestions | All Modifiers | Only modifiers reported to help at least one of the conditions from Pub Med Studies |
| Priority | Weight given | No ranking, all are both agree without ranking |
| Target Audience | Microbiome educated Medical types | Conservative Medical Type that are not familiar with the microbiome and recent research. |
| Condition Citations | No condition citations included | Most available condition citations for bacteria shift and suggestions are listed on one page with hyperlinks. |
| Microbiome Citations | All are available by individual links. | Only a token number of citations on how suggestions modify bacteria (why? full list can be massive) |
| Algorithm | Monte Carlo Model with multiple algorithms | Single Algorithm using above 85%ile and below 15%ile as bacteria selection criteria |
| Goal | Best suggestions based on the art of the microbiome | Educating and getting buy-in with conventional MDs |
| Special Goals | Focus on the holistic microbiome independent of specific diagnosis | Help MD pick the best for the microbiome choice from possible pro-forma treatments. |
A possible example: the MD wants to prescribe an antibiotics for a condition. Usually, there are a half dozen possible choices. Ideally, the MD will be willing to go with the one that is best for the microbiome when shown the evidence from the computations.
Which is best?
The Cross-Validated has a limited list because it is very time consuming to populate the data needed for it. For items like biofilm, d-lactic acid and histamine — it is likely the best choice but the suggestions should be checked with the “Just give me suggestions” and the final suggestions should be only ones that both agree with — subject to review by your medical professional.
