Frames the bidirectional relationship between metals and dysbiosis: metals drive dysbiosis, and dysbiosis impairs metal detoxification—a positive feedback loop central to WikiBiome's pathophysiology model. Critical for understanding why probiotic intervention (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) can interrupt metal-driven disease across autism, allergies, and metabolic conditions.
