    FMT and COVID-19, vaccines. Does it matter if the donor is vaccinated?

    Firstly, keep in mind that there's no live virus in the vaccine, depending on the vaccine it's either a protein from the virus or a RNA molecule encoding a protein of the virus, neither of which can replicate in the human body. So the most there ever will exist is in that person's arm...

    Healthcare system Incoming trump admin with RFK signals new start for FDA

    This is such a circus. I have recently heard about the approval of continuous glucose monitors for sale to people without diabetes. There was someone I saw on Youtube (with diabetes) talking about how to use a glucose infusion pump and from there I got to looking into how all sorts of wearable...

    FMT The Super-Donor Phenomenon in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (Jan 2019, review)

    They also say this though: "Microbial dysbiosis is a blanket term for an unhealthy or imbalanced gut community. As such, the population structure that is considered to represent microbial dysbiosis is variable between different disorders (Duvallet et al., 2017). Moreover, the microbiome deficit...

    Oral microbiome - Streptococcus overgrowth (test results)

    I've been meaning to respond to this sooner... but I sorted these by "percentile" a few weeks ago given the ranges you provided in parentheses (not a "real" percentile, but a fraction of the way between the lower and upper bound given). Around half of the ones below the 5th percentile (shown...

    Blog The FDA and FMT regulation, part 2. (Jul 2024, HumanMicrobes.org) I met with the FDA. Here's what I shared with them, and their response.

    How is the protest going? It seems you haven't posted any updates in a while, are you OK? By the way it seems as though the petition is stalling out. When I signed, it was at ~2670 signatures. Up until then, the signatures had been growing exponentially, with each week bringing between a 5x and...

    Enhancing fmt reduced to less than 1% as effective as it used to be after i started taking high amounts of inulin daily years ago (reason likely being severely damaging my gut mucus layer)

    It sounds as if the inulin provoked a sort of manic experience for you at high doses, possibly as a result of what your gut microbes metabolized it into. This is conceivable because I have felt similar states as a result of overgrowth of the wrong bacteria in my gut, when they're fed by certain...

    Healthcare system Incoming trump admin with RFK signals new start for FDA

    That's unfortunately 90% of the "microbiome awareness" in our world... :-(

    Blog The FDA and FMT regulation, part 2. (Jul 2024, HumanMicrobes.org) I met with the FDA. Here's what I shared with them, and their response.

    I knew you were tall... but I'm still surprised those other people looked so far away. It appeared as though your head was 50% higher off the ground than theirs were. It was probably just the weirdness of a phone camera though. That makes sense, at least for the more business-oriented people...

    Video RFK Jr. hosts roundtable on long COVID (Sep 18, 2025)

    I have noticed this as well. However, there ARE some among them who are resourceful and creative. I was in a ME/CFS group once where people were discussing ordering chemicals from a research supply company that had been shown in the literature to inhibit pathogens theorized to contribute to the...

    Video RFK Jr. hosts roundtable on long COVID (Sep 18, 2025)

    Is there any long COVID patient group where people have discussed success with FMT? Dr. Bhattacharya mentions several times that the NIH took hints on what to try from anecdotal stories in patient groups, so if there was a group where people were saying they improved from FMT, then they might...

    Blog The FDA and FMT regulation, part 2. (Jul 2024, HumanMicrobes.org) I met with the FDA. Here's what I shared with them, and their response.

    I just watched your video trying to get into the RFK hearing. I was wondering, why does the video make it look like you were up on some sort of pedestal? Did you try talking to some of the people in line? (I know some people might not have wanted to be on video talking with you--but maybe you...

    Oral microbiome - Streptococcus overgrowth (test results)

    I'm hoping to change that. Aside from Rothia mucilaginosa and possibly Neisseria cinerea, nothing looks significantly low here. Is there anything else (Prevotella, Actinomyces, etc.) that really is strikingly low, (like <5% of the midpoint of the normal range)? or just a wide variety of...

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

    I don't mean he was necessarily an "average Joe"--he could have been a super important politician or businessman with lots of connections who is very well known in his circle of influence and still be a "random stranger" for these purposes. He could have even been in the healthcare field...

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

    I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I watched most of your videos and had some comments. In one video, you mention that you approached a man who looked "visibly unhealthy", and he reacted " with astonishment that you came to that conclusion. Then when you educated him about...

    The power of olive oil -- significant changes to gut microbiome, stool, and food tolerances

    I've found that one of the few links between many otherwise quite different things I do poorly with is phenolic compounds--they seem as a class to be bad news for me. That's true whether they're synthetic (e.g. aspirin, 5-aminosalicylic acid, acetaminophen) or natural (quercetin, green tea)...
