That is simply wrong. I wonder what gives you the courage to make such boldly false statements?

[–] DarkroomDoc 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My medical degree, internship, residency, and years practicing as a doctor.

All that and yet your statement contradicts the plethora of citations that were provided, without providing any support yourself.

If you spent more than 3 seconds reading what you post, you’d realize that fecal transplant only affects the gut microbiome, not body-wide resistance. Fecal transplant, obviously, does nothing to combat pneumonia, skin infections, abscesses, or literally anywhere other than the gut. As the vast majority of fatal or life threatening infections are not isolated to the gut, your argument fails. But I need not argue against citations, as the provided papers don’t even argue your point.

That's not true. The gut microbiome regulates the entire body, including other body site's microbiomes. This information is included in the links I shared. Here is a specific page that covers it https://humanmicrobiome.info/systemic/ but there's more in the rest of the wiki as well.
