I wrote a post but it had some AI quotes in it and got blocked and I don't have time to go through it all again so I'll just make a short summary: I thought some of the loopholes that work in the EU could work but it seems like the FDA and US regulations are way stricter and blocks the...

When I took Rifaximin I lost a ton of emotions and felt completely numb afterwards. Nothing improved it until I did my first FMT so the antibiotics might have removed some important microbes for me. Maybe freezing your own stool first and then performing autologous FMT if anything goes wrong...

I thought you had suspended all operations due to legal concerns from the FDA, but the million dollar blog makes it sound like it's still up and running but only for multimillionaires. What's the current status of HumanMicrobes? I was considering making a thread for discussing some workarounds...

This is unrelated to this thread. But if you're talking about using NAC prior to FMT I posted about my experience here.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with a reduction of 75 points or more in IBS-SSS score at 90 days after treatment compared with baseline 119 (40%) participants in the donor faecal microbiota transplantation group and 57 (38%) in the placebo group showed an improvement...

That's a remarkable finding considering the results of this study (discussed on the forum here) which found cross-feeding to be highly correlated with disease, and competition to be associated with good health. This study basically says the opposite, at least when it comes to donors. Maybe...

Damn, that's awful.

Goes to show how ignorant he is on the health implications of FMT, but this could also present an opportunity. If he'd learn that he is in need of it and that it could potentially cure him, he might direct his time and attention towards FMT. Since he is wealthy and willing to spend on health...

Where have you seen FMT increasing diversity by 0? After an FMT the two microbiomes merge and create a new configuration that is different from both the donor and the patient's initial state (which means new bacteria have successfully been added). The closer the resemblance to the donor, the...

I disagree with this sentiment completely. This study basically confirmed a hypothesis I've had for a long time, that it's not diversity alone that dictates health but what microbes that dominates the ecosystem. My personal experience reaffirms this as well where I've gone from lower than...

If you're suffering from some autoimmune condition you can somewhat manage your symptoms through diet. You just have to figure out what food you can't tolerate. The easiest way to do that is through an elimination diet. For example you can try just eating plain chicken and rice for a day (low...

How is the biofilm flush performed? Have they reported if it increases efficiency of the transplant, or is there anywhere to read about it?

I got it from a local farm, if you want raw milk you'll have to search for a farm near you that sells it. Unfortunately most cattle get treated with antibiotics so you'll have to ask the farmer about it.

@bizzoc, how much of multivitamins and minerals is necessary? Is a regular dose enough or is a high dose needed to match the high dose of b12 and folate?

I tried 2mg methyl-b12 + 2mg methylfolate and the first few days were amazing. I have this kind of constant mild pain/discomfort in my gut and the only thing that has ever made it go away (although temporarily) has been FMT, but this is the first other thing that has actually worked for that...
