I've spent the past year living in my car in DC, visiting the Congressional offices most days. I started making social media videos to show people what I'm doing and try to get help.

Synthetic microbiome therapy suppresses bacterial infection without antibiotics

A synthetic microbiome therapy, tested in mice, holds promise as a new treatment for C. difficile, a notoriously difficult-to-treat bacterial infection, according to a team of researchers at Penn State. The targeted treatment was as effective as human fecal transplants in mice against C. difficile infection with fewer safety concerns, protect against severe symptoms and decrease recurrent infections.

Fecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT), a cure for chronic disease, needs unique support

There are links near the bottom with more info. Here are the key points: The gut microbiome influences every aspect of human health and development. https://humanmicrobiome.info/intro/ FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) is the most studied and promising intervention to correct “gut dysbiosis”, and thus treat, and potentially cure, numerous diseases.

The Poop Broker. Michael Harrop started a booming underground market for human feces. But something smells off about his product. (May 2024)

https://slate.com/life/2024/05/fecal-transplant-fmt-c-diff-microbiome-poop-black-market.html Kind of an odd article. Amusing, seemingly agenda-driven, occasionally deceptive, but not all bad. I'm curious what impact this article will have. Will it be better or worse than the "complete silence"...

Human Microbiome Forum

Hundreds of millions of people are suffering from conditions that are likely curable with an existing, simple treatment, yet virtually none of them are willing to spend some time learning about it or lift a finger to help acquire it.

This includes people with all the time and money in the world.

Thoughts on HumanMicrobes donor problem

Hi forum. I'm a dilettante when it comes to the microbiome, but on HumanMicrobes and its struggles to find adequate donors, I have some feedback to offer. For one, the result that most donor samples are unhealthy should not be a surprise. Mailing your stool sample to a random address in the...
