GoalBest suggestions based on the art of the microbiome Educating and getting buy-in with conventional MDs
Special GoalsFocus on the holistic microbiome independent of specific diagnosisHelp 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.
