Thelma, thanks for the warning.

I don't think that any of the posts to this thread have advocated do it yourself faecal transplants (FT) for PD. Rather, the discussion has revolved around:

What evidence is there that FT is effective against PD? (As I see it, very limited.)

Could FT work? (As I see it, it is unlikely, but not impossible.)

Is FT an area that needs more attention? (As I see it, it does. This is because it appears to be a relatively neglected area and if it were to work, it could lead to cheap, effective therapies.)

There is, though, a scenario when I would consider a do it myself approach. That is, if all the following were true:
- if I was convinced of the effectiveness of an approach;
- if I understood the risks and these were worth taking;
- if the medical establishment were being unduely slow in offering this approach;
- if during the delay in the official adoption of the approach my condition could be expected to worsen considerably.
As I see it, given my current condition and understanding of FT, none of these conditions are met. So, I will not do a FT now, but I will continue to investigate the area.
