Part 1- Human non-infectious diseases influenced by microorganisms:
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular Diseases (heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.)
- Allergies
- Asthma or other Respiratory chronic conditions
- Obesity
- Parkinson’s
- Autism
- Alzheimer’s
- IBD/IBS
Part 2: My list compared to week 1, has much more diseases listed. These are some that we have learned throughout the term, and I had more understanding on. It was easier to list, and I had more knowledge on why they were on the list. Making this list, for exercise #14, I also understood what microorganisms might consist of. These are all non-infectious diseases that at some point during the course we discussed. They were all somehow connected to the process of dysbiosis, and this is what I will take away from the course. There is an interconnected relationship between dysbiosis and disease—this does not necessarily go in one direction.
