    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...

    This is absolute nonsense. Microbes are generally "species native", which means that pigs have their own strains of certain bacteria, mice have their own strains, and humans have their own strains, etc. There are FMT consensus guidelines linked on the website that conclude that "universal...

    Firstly, that's a nonsensical sentence. Secondly, it's not true. There are plenty of sources of FMT, including most clinical trials, that do not use "many different donors". Third, there are many different reasons for "fecal donations", with widely varying criteria for donors. For example, C...
