    Blog The FDA and FMT regulation, part 2. (Jul 2024, HumanMicrobes.org) I met with the FDA. Here's what I shared with them, and their response.

    Crap, sorry, I got distracted with work and completely forgot about that summary. For broad dispersion, I would suggest something like this - note that ideally there should be hyperlinked sources in the middle, but I'm not familiar enough to know which studies are the most convincing...

    Healthcare system Incoming trump admin with RFK signals new start for FDA

    I agree -- I think he has the right attitude but vaccine stuff is not the correct path. That's definitely the question - I imagine reaching him directly will be extremely hard, and trying to pitch him on something like FMT would be harder. Might be more effective to contact someone in his...

    Healthcare system Incoming trump admin with RFK signals new start for FDA

    Hi all, thought this recent development might be of interest to the FMT community, as it is in the unfortunate position of having no proper FDA designation. As I'm sure everyone is aware, Trump is the incoming President of the United States and he is bringing with him Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a...

    Got it, thanks! Yes. I will take a stab at this when I have a free moment. I'll send it your way when I'm done.

    Two things: 1."Most of our donors will remain available at the current price, but not for the purpose of FMT". I read both blogs but didn't see the info I was looking for on this -- what are they available for now? I saw the potential avenue of human-fermented food, but that seems like a...

    Blog The evidence and rationale supporting our stool donor criteria (2022, HumanMicrobes.org)

    Exogenous testosterone use eventually atrophies the testes because endogenous testosterone creation is no longer necessary -- I suppose analogous to how your leg muscles would eventually atrophy if you stopped walking. It may be true that the microbiome has a modulatory effect on endogenous...

    Sources Is human microbes getting shut down?

    Sort of curious to me that you're considered a "supplier" when you're not creating nor shipping a product. Are you complicit no matter what as an organizer, or is there any vector for abstracting the business more to no longer be a 'supplier'?

    Article Top Harvard Cancer researchers accused of scientific fraud; 37 studies affected. Researchers accused of manipulating data images with copy-and-paste (Jan 2024)

    Given the aggregate damage of crimes like this, you'd hope the guilty would be sentenced for life...but realistically they'll probably just be quietly fired.

    FMT Long-term Safety Outcomes of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Real-World Data over Eight Years from the Hong Kong FMT Registry (Sep 2023)

    Interesting -- with median age of 53 it does seem plausible that some of these new onset conditions were not directly related to the FMT -- however, I share your skepticism. That said, 16/123 is better than I would have expected...
