"I've been a doctor for over forty years and have always lived and worked under the philosophy articulated so perfectly by Albert Schweitzer: that we doctors do nothing. We only help. And encourage the doctor within. I believe in the body’s ability to heal itself. The gut microbiome and immune system are the greatest doctors of all - if we look after them."
