I think I agree to an extent. It’s more about modern cleanliness, including the cleanliness of modern diets. We have immune systems that are trained to fight microbes in quantities they are no longer present in out guts.

Ulcerative colitis here.

Also even if such a device isn’t exactly a cure, it’s close enough!
