@Michael Harrop Changing the thread’s title to that is not right. Not everyone agrees with SFBay’s comments but he has the right to express his opinions based on his limited perception as you are free to debunk them according to your knowledge. I don’t think it aligns with the rules to minimize...

You do have a point that Michael most likely hasn’t done this type of analysis you have (as I have never seen anything like it in this forum or any of his websites). Most likely due to his health and layperson background. One argument though, is that the available data that you pooled the...

Trying another donor. But I understand it feels like a pointless risk. Most people in this forum will obviously double down on FMT because nothing else helps as much.

Jeff Leach? He did FMT from them. Hell, might have been an HM client, but that is speculation. Did you see the spreadsheet or do you have bad memory? On his defense, he never actually tried applying for funding for a trial/scientifc study during HM’s operations because he is a layperson, not a...

Its still theoretical, but biofilm disruption can be safer than antibiotics as FMT prep, as they regrow anyways when not paired with a proper killing agent like antibiotics. Biofilm comes back: Controlling regrowth by mitigating the cell-matrix interaction (Study, Feb 2026)

You do know tests change results everyday? Even the same provider, stool and donor, but different samples, can give different results. It’s not reliable.

Recipient.

Michael is not explicitly denying that OP has a genetic component, he is just saying that OP has a confirmed gut microbiome component to his illness and its heritability independently of his individual genome makes it the most relevant factor in OPs sickness. He is just reinforcing the point...

He might not be a horrible donor, but OP shouldn’t expect to get cured from him. The HGH, alcohol and smokin is a redflag though. Don’t know why would you ignore that.

@SFBayFMT5 Why would he care about trying to vindicate himself to the public again? He tried already to tell everyone he found a panacea, but got ignored because of his lack of social credit, the rejection of the average public and the corruption of the government, corporations and academia. I...

Sounds like very good news, too good to be true… Only time will tell if anything transcendental comes out of this collaboration. Props though for the think-tank composition, Blaser is crucial for anything microbiome related.

He does have gut issues that run in the family though. There is a confirmed gut microbiome issue. But I get what you are saying. That the root cause is genetic and the gut microbiome is affected by the genetic mutation, instead of it being the root cause.

Can that appear in an Ancestry.com result or is that expensive? Interesting. Doubt CRISPR could fix that though, pretty sure other people with CFS may have tried that route before but gotten nowhere.

On my time here, I have found that someone’s silence speaks more than a thousand words. Anyhow, he already said pretty clearly his current goals are to screen and use donors for himself and multi-millionaires discreetly for as long as FMT (for conditions other than C. Diff.) keeps being illegal...

I am not Michael, but I am 100% sure he wouldn’t allow that because that is private information. You can try contacting him privately through email though, but considering his current policy of not helping individuals unless they have a very good donor or are multi-millionaire investors, I doubt...
