    Sources Dr Paul Froomes in Melbourne, AU is treating bipolar, autism, and more with FMT

    He's covered in the wiki: https://humanmicrobiome.info/where-to-get-fmt/#dr-paul-froomes-au I don't think there's anything "great" about that. One simplistic, verbal report from the doctor treating the patient (hearsay from a biased source) is next to meaningless. In fact, it's a red flag that...

    We used FMT for recurrent cholangitis in bile duct cancer – strong response but new abdominal pain and gas

    Gas comes from changes/instability. If you eat something your gut can't handle, or which causes a significant shift in your microbiome, that causes gas. It can get painful when it's significant enough. I don't think that's a useful/valid notion. See: FMT donor matching and selection, screening...

    Donors Donor quality and stool type hypothesis for FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant)

    Another component of this hypothesis is that it seems like the colon does not want to be covered in poop; it wants to be covered in mucus. Being smeared with poop interferes with the mucus barrier & functions it performs. So if you can pick up a piece of poop and only get mucus on your hand...

    Other Popularity and acceptance of FMT. Who is to blame for why FMT will never be available? Ignorance, laziness, and apathy of the general public? How to motivate people to take action?

    I'm making $0 off FMT. I illegally made minimum wage off FMT for 2 years. More nonsense. There are real solutions; you're proposing fantastical notions instead.

    Other Popularity and acceptance of FMT. Who is to blame for why FMT will never be available? Ignorance, laziness, and apathy of the general public? How to motivate people to take action?

    There are plenty of healthy people in the US. Both ideal donors I found were in the US. That is due to your own ignorance and poor judgment. Stool & blood tests are not a valid method of determining donor safety or efficacy, and that's been discussed & documented extensively on this forum and...
