Right now, trillions of ancient organisms are living inside you-on your skin, in your mouth, throughout your gut. They've been with humanity for millennia, quietly performing essential tasks: digesting food, producing vitamins, training your immune system. But over the past seventy years, we've been systematically wiping them out. The consequences? A terrifying rise in diseases that were once rare: childhood diabetes, severe food allergies, asthma, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, even autism. These "modern plagues" have exploded across the developed world, and the culprit isn't a new virus or environmental toxin-it's our own medical practices. We've been waging war against bacteria with antibiotics and sterile birth practices, not realizing we're destroying allies that have shaped human biology since our species emerged. This isn't just about getting sick more often. It's about fundamentally altering what it means to be human.
