Last year I wrote about the Microbiome Medicine Summit, which was not really a summit/conference but rather a collection of interviews with -nutrition specialists and -microbiome experts – some real, others not so much – conducted by Raphael Kellman,  who has been trained as an MD but is very eager to believe and report on  non-scientific statements involving the human microbiome. RK has been award the  -Oversellig the Microbiome  Award by Jonathan Eisen.

Most of the  talks at last year’s Microbiome Medicine Summit provided very little science, a lot about -nurturing your microbes , some crazy stuff, and lots of promotions to buy overpriced probiotic drinks, minerals, and self-help books. Even more telling, there were very few  interviews with real microbiome experts or scientists.

I wrote about some of these talks in my blog posts from last year:  Microbiome Medicine Summit  with Deepak Chopra et al,  part 2 with Donna Gates,  part 3 with Ann Louise Gittleman,  part 4 with Joseph Mercola, and  part 5 with Larry Dossey.

This year, the  Microbiome Medicine Summit  returned in  its second edition, with lots of new interviews, but basically the same strange mix of a tiny bit of  science and lots of quackery, snake oil, alternative facts, and of course links to dubious websites selling products claiming to cure diseases. As in last year’s collection, most of these interviews were with nutritionists  and holistic doctors. And again, most interviews were conducted by Raphael Kellman, who sometimes talks more than the person he is interviewing, and never, ever, seems to ask a critical question.    The schedule can be found  here.
