    Video The false promises of Bryan Johnson and Functional Medicine | The Bryan Johnson "Hit Piece". Surprising revelations in the New York Times put Johnson's integrity into question | Scott Carney

    Wow. He just shared on Twitter that he has an autoimmune disease called Autoimmune Gastritis (AIG), and got diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 21 years old. https://x.com/bryan_johnson/status/2072069730517860385 The fact that he's been considering his own poop to be valuable instead of dangerous...

    Phages are covered in the wiki: https://humanmicrobiome.info/#bacteriophages-phages. Currently, they are very limited in comparison to antibiotics. But they should definitely be more heavily studied in order to eventually replace antibiotics.

    Sources Looking for information or guidance about FMT clinics in Singapore

    This is irrelevant and a red herring. One can review the processes being done at labs, hospitals, and home environments, and clearly see that there is nothing vital that must be done in a lab or hospital setting to safely and efficaciously process poop for FMT. This is a ridiculous thing to...

    Sources Looking for information or guidance about FMT clinics in Singapore

    Those statements don't reflect that you have reviewed the wiki, because those are poorly informed notions. You don't need a home lab or professional equipment to prepare FMT in a safe and anaerobic manner. Clinical procedures come with risks and should be avoided if possible. Jane Dudley's...

    Donors How can I go about finding a top tier donor in New York City ?

    I'm impressed with your website. How did you learn to create it? I was/am in a similar position as you, and I created HumanMicrobes.org for the same purpose. I screened over a million donors before the FDA stopped me. Despite all those applicants, I still didn't find a "super-donor". So the...

    FMT The effect of fecal microbiota transplantation on quality of life in patients with chronic pouchitis: a post hoc analysis of the MicroPouch trial (May 2026) FMT-treated patients showed a significant decrease in QoL from baseline.

    https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17562848261452497 A group from Denmark. Ridiculous donor criteria. The fact that they passed 13 of them highlights that. It should be no surprise that they made patients worse. Yet they didn't even try.
