    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.

    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...

    Other What is the public perception of FMT? How much does it matter? Has it been blocking progress?

    I don't agree because I don't observe this. There are some degree holders who spread misinformation (about many things, not only FMT and the microbiome), but they are relatively small fish in the grand scheme of things. That's a problem specific to reddit and /r/microbiome in particular...

    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?

    That was not a hostile or harsh tone. There are plenty of people who are severely impacted in those areas of life by their health. They still do nothing. I noted in other threads that I've contacted such groups (IE: CFS - chronic fatigue syndrome) and even went to an event in DC and spoke to...

    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?

    This is completely erroneous. Chronic disease and poor health already afflict the vast majority of the population. They can't try FMT because safe and effective donors are not available, and will never be because people are too ignorant and lazy to do anything to make them so. They're not...

    Rod Clair does successful FMT from his wife for diverticular disease, IBS, severe gastritis, chronic fatigue, and more (Dec 2021, fecal microbiota transplant)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN1VV_zauDU Her stool quality looks pretty good. He takes one small dose every 1-7 days. It seems that he still has some brain fog and weight gain.
