visit Dr.ruciot.com. Hey, everyone, welcome back. A very exciting study just published on how to

0:31.5

treat SIBO with natural agents. It was actually an integration of natural agents plus antibiotics. What is so novel

0:39.6

about this study is it helps us better understand how to use the tools in the treatment of

0:46.3

SIBO. There's really no shortage in my view of information about the tools, what the tool is,

0:52.1

what it can do, but how we use these things, how we sequence
