Fecal Transplants for Ulcerative Colitis, MS, Depression, Bipolar, and Alcoholism

I go over randomized, controlled trials and case reports of fecal transplants for various clinical conditions.
Isn’t that totally wild about the alcohol cravings?

I feel like I should just be able to order crapsules online at this point and fix my biome. WTF? Its 2023. Let's GOOOO already

[@Zheeraffa1]

Given how poorly the supplement industry works right now regarding product quality and clinical testing, I would be skeptical whether I'm buying literal or figurative crap.

I received a FMT on March 19th 2024.I am under the care of a Canadian Hospital study for C DIFF. I had to take 21 pills orally! The stool donner was screened extremely well and I wouldn't trust anyone other than my doctor 🌝

Incredibly fascinating! Thank you so much

Insanely amazing and great perspective on what the future holds for fecal transplants !

[@SarahSchofield-tg8lh]

FMT have saved my life, I only regret not having done it before, so many years of my life wasted.

[@playthegame4403]

did you have c diff? for what issue did you do it

[@anastasiamurawski6179]

I'm curious: how does one find somewhere to give it a try and how much does it cost?? I wonder if this could have saved my brother who died by suicide a couple of years back, and I suffer from many ailments and disorders this might help. Though it all sounds good until the end of the video, so I don't know. I heard about this many years ago and it sounded like a miracle cure, then came across this video and was excited to hear about it as a possible option in the treatment of mental disorders and alcohol addiction. but possible cancer?

[@mikemir121]

Love this video. I have heard of this experiement on mice, but your video put everything in perspective - enough to be hopeful for near future Crapsules perscriptions drugs coming to a near pharmacy.

[@crystalkassees8786]

Thank you so much this is incredible

[@Zheeraffa1]

That elderly lady invigorated by a young boy's poop reminded me of Alexander Bogdanov's visions of socialist parabiosis and experiments with blood transfusions to keep old communists alive. Even if poop wouldn't work, at least it comes out on its own. You don't have to "extract" it to redistribute.
Also, not gonna lie, "crapsules" gave me a good chuckle.

[@liviu388]

Very interesting. Thank you!

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Thanks doc! Can't they check for colorectal cancer cels to rule it out?

[@samaelcortez1387]

But is any of this even true? Also, does this mean we can just make our own poop pills from a healthy donor and take them ourselves? At this point I’ll try anything, I know my nephew will have a healthy microbio

[@janycebrown4071]

I'm in a Canadian study and I received a oral fecal transplant for C Diff bacteria. I had to take 21 pills 🌝If you have a donner talk to your doctor.

[@robertofilipe8605]

does it work for ibs???

[@janycebrown4071]

Yes.

[@AndrewPawley11]

I love this channel!

[@sorrywrongplanet8873]

Wouldn’t foreign cancer cells from the donor be killed by the recipient’s immune system though?

[@cm_eleven]

Your guidelines are be respectful; yet your presentation conduct was quite insensitive.

I have problem to find a way to eat 50 grams of fiber daily - I am normally eating a mixed salad size XXXL ( Peoples normally ask me ... " can you eat all that ? " ) . Unfortunately counting all fiber just come to 15 to 20 grams of fiber 🙄. Do someone have a suggestion please . Thanks in advance and great channel 👌

[@JosiahMcCarthy]

Salad greens are great, but it's not the best way to increase fiber, try oats (and other whole grains) and beans. Especially replacing refined grains with whole grains, and replacing meats with beans and lentils.

[@robertodm6986]

@@JosiahMcCarthy Thank you very much

[@NoToPCBS]

Lentils

[@kungfutzu3779]

@Just For Your FYI chewing is good in its own right. if you eat liquid food you should have some chewing gum right after to get the benefits of chewing

[@kungfutzu3779]

@Just For Your FYI yes but mincing the food doesn't replace all the benefits of chewing. that's why, if you're eating minced or liquid food, you need to chew gum as well, to make sure you're doing some chewing

[@NoToPCBS]

Does the poop donors blood type need to be the same as the receivers blood type

[@kungfutzu3779]

apparently it helps if the donor lives with the donee. so that their bacteria would be already similar to what they're used to

[@SarahSchofield-tg8lh]

Not really, my donor was O+ and I am B+ and had an amazing result. I still keep topping up with 1 pill a day. donor quality is more important than blood type according to my supplier and most people who have performed fmt.

Is it better to take donor poop via capsules or as an enema solution?
