I listened to "The Perfect Predator" and became so absorbed I study topics I never dreamed I would. Your story is amazing and I am happy to see photos of you, your husband and the Phage team!
What a story! And book! And soon to be film!? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so exciting! A few years ago I remember hearing about bacteriophage in the Berkeley Pit, an old open pit copper mine that's now an acid lake, and I remember thinking maybe that eco-disaster could be a life saver and then I did't hear anything more about it until now. I hope some good can come from that hellmouth

Amazing. Thank you. So silly that this was considered "pinko" medicine for so long. What else is out there?
Excellent miracle done by phage. Glad your husband is Hale and healthy
Combination antifungal therapy may be appropriate in selected patients with invasive fungal infections, but is empiric and driven by individual physician practice.

Hello ! Do you have phage against b.fragilis biofilm ?

What happens if phage evolves or mutates and attack human cells
It won't
Is that bacteria a byproduct of something else?
