Default Thinking

Not my favorite subject, but whatcha gonna poo? Er, do?

First thought, Big Pharma is not going to like this. It is totally out of their control. Expect scare tactics. And there will be no research to speak of.

That means it is up to the patients to test thngs and to report back to the community. The obvious method is the enema. Probably the best donor is a healthy spouse. Another alternative is to figure out a simple way to culture it in yogurt or similar.

Maybe something missing is replaced. Or something unwanted is overcome and eliminated or controlled.

Given a close tie to the immune system, how far could this go? Is there a bug for every disease? Do we end up with a donor system ala blood types? Bacteria are extremely adaptable and rearrange themselves in minutes. Then they tell the others how to do it too. They need us to survive, so it makes perfect sense that they should look after us. What if history puts antibiotics on display with blood letting?

Don't be shy now.

Another thing to be investigated are things like Rid-X septic tank treatments While obviously not intended for human use it looks possible.

Rick, our thoughts exactly. And what better time to share bodily products than this Valentine's Day? A whole new twist on date night!

But seriously, I thought the same thing about pharma and this, as well as an iodine supplement we are trying and so far, seeing improvements in sleep, but I'll report more on that later when I have more data, and under a separate thread. The big industry will not like this, will not fund any research into it, and will do everything it can to villify those who do and discredit any results put out there.

The good thing is that what we currently have and have had for decades does NOT WORK, so I think a ton of folk are much more open to considering alternatives, even one as unsavory to think about as this one.

Smirk

Did some checking up on Professor Borody.
I live nearby and have never heard of him or his centre for digestive whatever but he seems to be targeting overseas clients/patients.
My son a post doctoral medical researcher in a teaching hospital nearby did some checking up and said he lacks credibility, well actually he said a bit more than that but I'm not game to say what... not here anyway!
When I turned on his video and saw a sign which said "bowel cancer can be cured" in the background I found that upsetting and it's what got me going enough to post.
I understand bowel cancer can be prevented or treated but not in a day care facility that seems to be driven by profit and which I've never heard of.
Be nice to me ok? I'd say there's a good chance I'm about to have my head bitten off by one or more of you!

just a little bit of humor or odd ball twist for this subject

what about getting the transplant "'matter" from a healthy breast fed baby diaper?
How much more pure could you get, as long as the mother was healthy also.

weird things pop into my brain sometimes...

Default No head biting, please. We have work to do.

Let's face it - it's weird. Quack city! Obvious.

However... "Fecal" + "transplant" into Pubmed generates over 850 hits. And we are only now hearing of it?

Yet more evidence of how important the gut is to Parkinson's!

As of April 2013 the FDA has classified fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) as an Investigational New Drug. This means that until FMT is formally approved, its use is restricted to the treatment of Clostridium Difficle (C Diff). However the FDA ruling does not stop doctors assisting you by screening your donor or advising you how to do FMT safely at home. - See more at: http://thepowerofpoop.com/epatients/....SUNvtsmV.dpuf

This website also has stories from people who had FTM done for various diseases - some results were quite amazing.

The Gut appears to be very important to brain health!
Mental illnesses of the gut

A growing realisation that the nervous system in our gut is not just responsible for digestion (see main story) is partly fuelled by discoveries that this “second brain” is implicated in a wide variety of brain disorders. In Parkinson’s disease, for example, the problems with movement and muscle control are caused by a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. However, Heiko Braak at the University of Frankfurt, Germany, has found that the protein clumps that do the damage, called Lewy bodies, also show up in dopamine-producing neurons in the gut. In fact, judging by the distribution of Lewy bodies in people who died of Parkinson’s, Braak thinks it actually starts in the gut, as the result of an environmental trigger such as a virus, and then spreads to the brain via the vagus nerve.
