    Please elaborate on this. It doesn't make any sense. Familiarize yourself with the rules of this forum. Specifically, 5, 7, and 8.

    I didn't say I lost hope. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are merely ignorant about what I referenced. Because no decent person would say what you did if they knew what they were talking about. In the future, you should be more careful about commenting on things...

    All used up over the past 10+ years. Well I'm still basically the only person doing anything. Vaccines are mostly unrelated to the microbiome and chronic disease. If anything, everything they're doing wth vaccines is a red herring, distracting from the real issue, which has been ignored so...

    That's not what's happening. Pharma companies don't have to do anything but sit by and watch the public research system continually, incompetently fail to make a simple treatment/cure available. No one has to hide or bury anything; they can simply not try, because the FDA is preventing anyone...

    I don't think that's correct. You shouldn't need huge groups of people with FMT success stories. There's a huge body of scientific evidence supporting the gut microbiome and FMT, which should be enough to get the support of the majority of people in the chronic disease communities. It's been...

    There is no one person whom people should just randomly contact. You need to have a single coherent message and request. That's why petitions are used. You would need one letter/petition, similar to this. But 10 anonymous votes on that post is nothing. An actual petition that people sign with...

    I don't agree with "complete deregulation". I've opposed it since the beginning, and advocated for better regulation focused on donor quality.

    Another frustratingly absurd statement from you that ignores previous information/discussion. I'm not calling Bernie Sanders a fraud for being ignorant on FMT.

    He said he would look into it, but I'm unsure about the status of that. You raise a really good point though. I think it would be worth the effort to say that directly to Senator Cassidy.

    It doesn't appear that anyone is sharing it on social media so it's not getting many votes. Per their most recent update (https://forum.policiesforpeople.com/t/welcome-to-policies-for-the-people/20730), they apparently DO care about the number of votes and refer to it as "social proof".

    Healthcare system Doctors are not systematically updated on the latest literature. What they're taught in med school is often wrong or gets outdated quickly. The result is the majority of doctors are extremely uninformed/misinformed about many major medical conditions. I believe this is costing many lives. (May 2018)
