However, had I gone thru with it I might have given someone PD .. who knows? I imagine that you heard the case of the daughter that was donor to the mother and then she wound up gaining 30 lbs. So who is a healthy donor, really? I would get the microbiome studied before I use it. That's affordable right now and it also compares the bacterial makeup to averages.

There is a LOT about the microbiome that we don't yet know .. not that the FDA, who now controls the process, is even trying to understand.
