Lots of info on the internet, something that definitely makes sense to me. Anybody had it done?

It makes sense to me also, I believe that it has been done in the UK with good results for Parkinson's people. It would be great to hear from someone who has had it done.

I worry about the number of commercial businesses which might set up to cash in on this idea. I agree it is a good avenue for investigation but who knows which other conditions might be present in the donor gut.

I am going to try it in the next 6 months or so. I have a niece-in-law that agreed to donate. I am going to do an at- home fecal transplant because it is not FDA approved for PD yet. I will let you know when, how and what the results are.
