They have been pulled from the schedule quite clearly for political reasons, NOT because there are any new scientific findings negating the favorable benefit/risk ratio. I support anyone being able to choose to get or not get this vaccine, but I'm not going to buy into politicians' judgments on...

So from the Science Forums thread it appears as if Rebyota can be used off-label--so shouldn't we be encouraging medical practices to go into the area of prescribing it for patients with damaged microbiomes? Back when I was undergoing Lyme treatment, there were a lot of questionable independent...

I certainly am not ignoring it. My question though is, how can we band together and do some kind of community outreach to find the people who AREN'T turned off by this. Michael is trying to do this on a national scale, which is commendable--but if we all banded together to help each other find...

Ok so FMT IS considered "a drug" even when it is not manufactured by a pharmaceutical company. Are you referring here to your inability to recruit effective donors paying them as much as you did before? So it does seem like you would need to remove all mention of FMT then.

Some comments in the recent thread on Scienceforums.org made me think to ask this question. It's relevant to how exactly FMT products can or cannot be marketed in the USA, and hence to how a successor to Human Microbes would need to operate. People there were claiming that FMT is merely not...

Their latest clinical trial mentions a "full spectrum" microbiome therapeutic, which would support this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39366468/ The question I would have is, what's the difference between the various products in their pipeline (CP101, FIN-524, FIN-525, FIN-211)? Are some of...

That's just it. I ASSUME that ANY provider of FMT will have recipients who have gotten worse from certain donors. Even OpenBiome, whose FMT did more than Gezonde Darmflora and Human Microbes combined, with fewer side effects, has negative experiences, as Michael has posted here about before...

I don't need to trust, or NOT trust, anything that Marco said to know how I reacted to DF3, and how different it was from how I reacted to her brother DF7. It was not Marco who in any way raised the possibility that it would extend to other females of her age--it's just me being a scientist and...

Anyone who isn't liberally biased is going to associate FMT with "experimental dangerous medicine that doesn't work" if it gets associated with anyone liberal who pushed the covid vaccines. One could go the other way though and say that anyone who seriously thinks the COVID vaccines are a prime...

I think we ARE talking a completely different language. The only thing I care about right now is finding new donors. Therefore the only question that's relevant to me about DF3 is how it could inform my future choice of donors. For instance, would someone who does poorly with her also react...

It seems the most likely would be if there's a podcast about DIY science, biohacking, etc. Appearing on a podcast that is already controversial for politics seems like it could really backfire--I wouldn't want FMT associated in the least with radical anti-vax, QAnon, or any other fringe...

I'm very confused now. You said, in your own words, "I also had benefits from this donor in some other areas. It got rid of my brainfog for 90% and helped against my severe bloating." This is, as I understand, pertaining to DF5. And you said that "Before that I had normal stool on the...

Umm... so now you're agreeing with the people who have been telling you that it's too experimental and has major risks? Again... so you're now agreeing that disgust is one of the main factors, when you have spent about five posts trying to convince us why it's insignificant in the larger...

Just some points of clarification, as I suspect some people may misunderstand parts of the above--I'm NOT implying that FMT recipients mistreat donors in any way, or even tend to. Most of us are very nice to donors who we actually feel are promising, and very "down to earth" in our expectations...

In one of the Reddit threads you link, someone ("WalterBishRedLicrish") said the following: This seems to be exactly the sort of thing that NameHere was saying, and I have been noticing. There seems to be a strong aversion among many people to the idea of using something from a healthy...
