This has many implications that scientists are working out right now (see: systems biology, metagenomics, metaproteomics etc). One area worth consideration is the effect of antibiotics on your personal eco system. They can kill your good bacteria along with your bad bacteria.
What are some new systems based medical treatments being explored?
Read about Bacteria Transplant for GI diseases.
Read about parasites used to regulate immune system response (allergies).
