    Blog The evidence and rationale supporting our stool donor criteria (2022, HumanMicrobes.org)

    I wouldn’t mind experimenting with them. I noticed you added some new potential donors to the list. Do you plan on adding more of their information (stool pics, physical, questionnaires, etc.)?

    Donors Thoughts on HumanMicrobes donor problem

    OK then it seems possible someone who would fit my criteria would still make it to your list. It would be nice to see if that is true but I am unable to see many of their profiles. I noticed you mentioned recipients are allowed to choose from any one of your donors. Perhaps in the future...

    Donors Thoughts on HumanMicrobes donor problem

    1 million+ applications is incredible. I find it so hard to believe that none of them have the ability to help more than your current donors who you found with <23k applications. Just to be clear, to qualify as a top donor you need a perfect or near perfect questionnaire, a decent physique, and...

    Sources Is human microbes getting shut down?

    Hmm interesting. That's a debate for another day. That’s better than I thought. Yes, it would help a lot though. If you do end up going that route. Makes sense, they love microbioma there. I think that’s a great idea.

    Who is your ideal demographic? A lot depends on what you can and cannot explicitly state. One way is to imply that the stool will be used for FMT without explicitly mentioning it. For example, providing a lot of data about the gut microbiome, its influence on health, and perhaps even...

    Blog The evidence and rationale supporting our stool donor criteria (2022, HumanMicrobes.org)

    More and more research is revealing that the microbiome is involved in numerous physiological processes. If chronic use of exogenous testosterone or other PEDs leads to testicular atrophy, then when someone discontinues their use of PEDs, it makes sense that they would experience symptoms of low...

    Blog The evidence and rationale supporting our stool donor criteria (2022, HumanMicrobes.org)

    I’m am not aware of any, this is actually a good example of something that has not been studied yet because of the nascency of microbiome research but is quite intuitive. If we know that PEDs, particularly steroids, can lead to testicular atrophy, and a significant decrease in natural...

    True but there are other ways to maximize its legitimacy.

    Blog The evidence and rationale supporting our stool donor criteria (2022, HumanMicrobes.org)

    An argument can be made that top athletes should be disqualified because the use of peds extremely common at those levels. Especially in track, football, MMA and boxing. Drug testing is mediocre and athletes get caught all the time. Its very well known. I’ve been involved in sports all my life...

    FMT Donor-recipient intermicrobial interactions impact transfer of subspecies and fecal microbiota transplantation outcome (Feb 2024, n=65)

    “A donor-recipient SGB (species genome bin) match suggests a high likelihood of genuine strain transfer” and “Donor-recipient intermicrobial interactions are crucial for microbiota transfer”. I’ve read many of those studies but microbiome research is still early in its infancy. It’s also...

    Would you still be able to pay them $500 per stool? I can still see a major influx of applications from videos that go viral, like the ones that have in the past. Alot of them don’t mention FMT, just the financial incentive. I agree. I am surprised it hasn’t gotten more recognition.

    Sources Is human microbes getting shut down?

    Correct but they are likely learning about your site on various social media groups first then using keyword search. I think once you activate a very effective donor, more word will spread in those social media groups and cause a major influx of customers. I think there are still ways to be...

    Sources Is human microbes getting shut down?

    Hmm I think as donor quality continues to increase, word will spread on social media. I could be wrong but I can’t imagine people are finding your website in many other ways. Yes, you wouldn’t be able to provide FMT for clinical trials, at least for now, but you would be able to continue your...

    FMT Donor-recipient intermicrobial interactions impact transfer of subspecies and fecal microbiota transplantation outcome (Feb 2024, n=65)

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1931312824000179 Here is an argument against the super donor hypothesis. Intuitively this makes sense. When I was pursuing my biology degree we learned about how bacteria, and cells in general, are very sensitive to their environment...
