@drwilliamli: 🦠 One of the most remarkable findings in cancer research involves a single gut bacteria: Akkermansia muciniphila. A colleague of mine in Paris studied 200 patients receiving immunotherapy. Only about 20% responded well — but the difference wasn’t age, tumor type, or treatment history. It came down to one bacteria. 🔬 Patients who responded all had Akkermansia in their gut. Those who did not respond were missing it. She tested this in the lab: • Mice given immunotherapy + antibiotics (wiping out Akkermansia) → tumors kept growing. • Mice given immunotherapy + restored Akkermansia → tumors shrunk… and disappeared. It shows how deeply the microbiome influences our immune system — and why gut health matters in ways we’re only beginning to understand. 👉 Masterclass TONIGHT at 8 pm ET — link in bio. #drwilliamli #foodasmedicine #microbiome #akkermansia #cancerresearch #immunotherapy #guthealth #longevityscience #healthinnovation
