    Really interesting! Many years ago I had an injury to the part of my thoracic spine which sends nerves to the gut and pancreas, etc. I also was diagnosed with wet A}MD. Within the past six or so uears the injury was affected by binding of soft tissue around it, causing a "block" that area (to the upward adjustment of the spine) and in the past year a DO and I have been working on reducing that block, which is at the same time putting more stress on that area, and in the Drusen have been getting worse. (I am thin and as far as I know, have an excellent diet for positive effect on my microbiome. ) I wonder if the stress through the nerves to that area are negatively affecting the biome. Wonder if ANYONE knows....
