Every politician needs to promise something. Otherwise they wouldn't be winning elections. You have way too much unwarranted trust in people and institutions overall - the main purpose of this administration is to orchestrate another upward (i.e. from the poor-middle class to the rich) wealth...

He's a long standing anti vaxxer who spent a significant amount of time on that years before becoming the HHS Secretary. As for gut microbiome, he likely does have vague ideas about the microbiome being important in the "eat your yoghurt, it's healthy" kind of way but little beyond that. Even if...

FMT is a very niche treatment. You basically need to be aware of the very frontiers of research to even know that FMT for anything other than C. diff. is a thing. Even most science buffs don't know that. The thing about science is that knowledge accumulates slowly - the germ theory was...

RFK Jr isn't a medical researcher or a science enthusiast, he's a lawyer by education and his only link to science is subscribing to a bunch of conspiracy theories mostly about vaccines. He does hold some generic ideas about big pharma being bad that are shared by all people in the alternative...

Look up neuro-symbolic AI, state space models, graph neural networks and spiking neural networks. For reasons unknown to me lots of people treat LLMs as the pinnacle of AI development while in reality they're just the starting point, similar to how Apple II was the starting point for personal...

Note that this won't continue forever - LLMs hallucinate because of the way they work, being statistical pattern matchers and not true thinkers - but in a couple of years they will be replaced by newer, better AI paradigms that will be many times more powerful and hallucination-free. The future...

Ok I really misunderstood you. Treat my previous post as never written.

The whole purpose of MAGA is to take the last brakes off corporations so that they can run loose and get even richer. I can't believe anyone in the US can be naive enough to believe otherwise. Reps vs Dems fight isn't a fight of the common people versus the elites, at best it's just infighting...

A decent approach might be to try to convince a doctor - preferably a gastroenterologist - of the merits of FMT. Doctors have more authority than a common person and they have connections with other doctors whom they should be able to convince as well.

Everything is fine. They aren't rejecting any FMT comments. If I am not mistaken, scienceforums.net has a rule that posts of new users need to be approved by moderation. I registered over a year ago, i can't remember everything.

@Michael Harrop Perhaps you are right. Nonetheless, I am glad that I was able to help even in this modest way.

@Michael Harrop After some thought I think that people on scienceforums.net do have a point. In science - including medicine - everything is considered unproven until proven otherwise. You have laser focused on FMT as an almost holy grail-like thing and presented it like it was a proven...

@Michael Harrop - I've asked a mod (swansont, the one with physics PhD) for permission to open a thread. Give me the link to your summary so I can send it to him if possible. EDIT: Permission granted. Now I just need to write a good OP.

www.scienceforums.net :) I shall make a thread on your behalf soon. What should i write, though? Are you looking for donors? Financial assistance? Both? Something else perhaps? What I write and how I phrase it will be very important.

@Michael Harrop Many folks have the same issues as you - a one man army can only achieve so much, especially if it's mode of an individual with no financial, social or political capital. I respect your work greatly. Since I am a member of a major science-related discussion forum, I can ask...
