Hi all, and thanks to Lindsey for the interview! I tried to post a detailed comment here but TH-cam is removing it. I posted it on the forum, which TH-cam also won't let me link to, but you can search this postcast there.

Going to check out the forum. Btw, none of my 5 kids 9-19yo have never taken antibiotics in their lives 😉

[@ritamartens4959]

Thank you, this was helpful as I was looking for more info on stool donations.

[@highdeserthealth]

You're welcome.

Did I miss understand that he said that people had either no improvement to mild improvements and a few adverse side effects?

[@highdeserthealth]

I think that would be a good summary. But you have to look at the Donor Results spreadsheet to get a more nuanced view: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E9TFLqh9I2ZZhDSvGljyhukU-71fFMmJ/edit#gid=174339095

[@emusedesigns]

Thanks. I did look, and not much results... that's a shame. Oh well.

There was a mighty general
Who carved a mighty stool
They called him Rahful
Famous for stool
Of endurance and beauty
The ultimate in cool.
This man was no fool
He made People drool
At the sight of his stool.
Before every battle
His enemy he'd rattle
Waving his stool
He'd shout:" you're doomed you fool"

This message is for Michael Harrop:
You may not like hearing some of this, but did you say you consume almond milk and sweet potato?
Almond milk is promoted as a healthy substitute to dairy, however it has one of the highest food source of oxalates. Oxalates are harder than tooth enamel and can wreak havoc, and cause kidney damage. Try A2 milk or goat milk instead.
Consuming sweet potato in high amounts especially if you blood sugar level is already high is risky business. Anything over 1 ounce per meal is not recommended.
Did you say you take zinc and iron supplements?
Zinc is a chelator, like activated charcoal is. Too much will bind to nutrients in your body and deplete them all. Especially if you're taking more than the RDI.
Iron supplements are even worse. Our body can only excrete about 1mg of iron per day. When you take iron in high milligrams, it gets stored as hemosiderin in the liver. Hemosiderin is locked up iron that serves no purpose to the body other than causing inflammation. Ever heard of fatty liver? That is hemosiderin!
That is also why you skin is sensitive to the sun. You need bioavailable copper -- not zinc or iron.
For that sensitive skin, you can also try a firn in supplement form called polypodium leucotomos. Now you can enjoy the healing benefits of the sun again 🙏🏿👍🏿
