Latest news on Borody's work.

I found this radio interview [1], dated 2nd November, 2012, with Borody. The interview was about his work, including faecal transplants. He describes constipation as being caught, most likely from an infection. He thinks fibre and yoghurt have no impact. He doesn't mention Parkinson's.

He published a paper on FT in July, 2013 [2]. Worth reading, but it only mentions Parkinson's in passing, referencing the original New Scientist interview.

I think that the lack of information about FT and PD most likely suggests that the work on PD has not yet produced any interesting results.
