Comment on There may be an existing solution to the chronic disease crisis, but a disabled patient seems to be the only person motivated enough to try to obtain it. And they've been failing going at it alone.

Yes, FMT is super experiemental. The point of the blog/website is not to convince people to buy poop, it’s to find ideal stool donors who may be able to cure a variety of diseases.

Maybe FMT is a good idea, but it’s still too unknown for me to accept it.

It can’t become “more known” unless a highly effective donor can be found. And such a donor can’t be found unless people start helping…

I don’t think FMT is appropriate to regulate as a supplement. The ingredients of supplements are known and standardized. FMT is an extremely complex and dynamic ecosystem. Yogurt is a handful of known microbes in a highly controlled environment. FMT vs yogurt is like the universe vs a zoo.

Agreed

I feel like coordination with a professional sports coach would be a good start, the players are already accustomed to many tests, the team doctor would probably be interested in gut biome v performance, and it’s a pre-selected pool of young, healthy, athletic people with at least semi-controlled diet.
