And he details that if the microbiota is good, I will defecate well and abundantly.

If neutrophils are high, there is possibly an acute infection, usually bacterial or perhaps fungal,” he says.

“Then there are monocytesare also a marker of inflammation. If they are high, it is a priority that you are safe. And then you have the last two, eosinophils and vasophiles. These tell us if there are parasitic infections or allergies«. establishes.
