Overuse in humans is far more important than overuse in livestock.

This is not the solution. We need to be moving away from antibiotics, and drastically decreasing their use/overuse.

• While antibiotic resistance gets all the attention, the damage being done to our host-native microbiomes is arguably as big a threat as climate change, as the damage compounds over generations, and once it's gone you can't get it back.

Yes, FMT is super experiemental. The point of the blog/website is not to convince people to buy poop, it's to find ideal stool donors who may be able to cure a variety of diseases.

Maybe FMT is a good idea, but it’s still too unknown for me to accept it.

It can't become "more known" unless a highly effective donor can be found. And such a donor can't be found unless people start helping...

I don't think FMT is appropriate to regulate as a supplement. The ingredients of supplements are known and standardized. FMT is an extremely complex and dynamic ecosystem. Yogurt is a handful of known microbes in a highly controlled environment. FMT vs yogurt is like the universe vs a zoo.

Dr. Alexander Khoruts (University of Minnesota GI, Director, UMN Microbiota Therapeutics Program) made a similar comment. https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/designer-hit-panel-discussion-achieving-cures-together-dec-2023-peter.216/

He asks an FDA adviser "Does the FDA care more about profits or people?", and the response he gets is "one of the missions of the FDA is to protect the interests of commercial developers". Another question to the advisor: "How much influence does the industry have over the FDA decisions?", A: "A lot".

Here's an example of virtually no one out of 1.2 million people caring whatsoever: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/high-quality-stool-donors-are-more-rare-than-one-in-a-million-ai-fundi.304/post-760

This is the kind of thing that for me invalidates all those pro-natalism "large population = more chances that one person's going to do something great" arguments. 8 billion people and a single disabled person is left to do it on their own. Especially when it's something like this where anyone/everyone can do something to help, and 99.99999% of people just simply can't be bothered.

Be sure to actually read the blog. I made a post about this in another community and one person completely ignored the blog and used deceptive tobacco and oil industry tactics to spread FUD and disinformation. But people who actually read the blog should be immune to that.

For example, here is the reaction of a normal and knowledgeable person who actually read the blogs: https://twitter.com/chydorina/status/1767995009771647375

My agenda is fighting against misinformation

Says the guy spreading misinformation.

When I prompted you to do that, instead you insulted me.

Lmao. Continuing to just conjure up bullshit.

Anyone can write up a blog

You clearly didn't even read it. It's not selling anything.

Until I see actual, clinical research by licensed medical professionals around this organization’s efforts

There's plenty of it on the site, but you magically missed it. Because you obviously have an agenda.

What they’re selling could actually harm people because they’re producing items meant for consumption without even a shred of training or education on how to do that in accordance with the law and good science.

More false statements.

People like you spreading FUD and misinformation is why there is a likely cure in existence yet we can't obtain it.

EDIT:

Since you clearly didn't read or address anything in the blog, one might accuse you of being illiterate, but I don't think you are. I think you're using the same deceptive tactics that the tobacco and oil industries have used to spread FUD and disinformation to prevent people from pushing for, and switching to alternatives. And it appears that you successfully fooled a bunch of people who didn't bother to read the blog themselves.

Yeah, ok. You obviously have an agenda. Good luck with that.

EDIT:

Looking at the votes in this thread: Really? You guys let one troll win? Anyone who reads the blog should be able to tell that this guy is full of shit. So this seems to be a classic example of skipping the article and going straight to the comments and believing nonsense by someone who didn't read it either.

For comparison, here is the reaction of a normal and knowledgeable person who actually read the blogs: https://twitter.com/chydorina/status/1767995009771647375

but then they also have no data showing what would make a perfect donor.

There's another blog on that https://www.humanmicrobes.org/blog/the-evidence-and-rationale-supporting-our-donor-criteria

Overall, your comment is very suspicious and seems to be coming from someone with an agenda. It ignored the linked blog and instead opted to try to find critique of them elsewhere. And made a number of false statements that are clearly designed to denigrate them. Odd.

I’m sorry, but there’s a good reason why all the government agencies are basically ignoring this organization.

This seems to be fabricated and makes me suspicious of your intentions.

The site’s owner says that they take several capsules throughout the day. But of course no timeline is given of when they could potentially stop or when to expect results.

That is simply not true.

Not sure if this was it, but I tried again a day later and I didn't select "english", I left it as undefined, and it worked.

That's not "some blog", so what I can gather is that you're either extremely unintelligent or you're purposely trying to harm people.

Doesn’t that mean that docker containers use up much more resources since you’re installing numerous instances & versions of each program like mumble and leftpad?
