Your gut microbiome is a combination of good bacteria and bad bacteria, such as:

 • Bacteria 

 • Yeast 

 • Parasites

 • Viruses 

There is something called VLP (viral-like particles). You have a lot of these in and around your body. VLPs don’t have any genetics inside of the cell, but they are viral-like particles that exist throughout the body. 

The human gut virome is clusters of viruses that live in your body, and there are a lot of them. You have a lot of bacteria in your body, possibly trillions. These viruses outnumber your bacteria by 10:1 and, in some cases, 20:1. These viruses typically don’t cause any problems unless you have lowered resistance or a medical problem that makes you more susceptible. This is why it’s important to keep your immune system strong. 

You also have an army of immune cells that include not just white blood cells, but also your good bacteria. If you’re lacking good bacteria, the bad bacteria can thrive. Also, if you’re eating foods that create a lot of inflammation, the inflammation can create a shift from good bacteria to bad bacteria.
