FMT should be listed among the most urgent therapeutic trials

[Xenos]

May be the simplest will be the most effective treatment. I was impressed by the publication of Pr Mazmanian of CalTech. Here is another presentation.

Forget the trials. That would take 10 years and hundred of millions of dollars. FMT should be available now!

[Xenos in reply to Blackfeather]

FMT also has its risks (of disseminating bacteria, virus, fungus). I heard of a start-up in the US working on a pill that would be free of these risks.

You might be thinking of Openbiome. They screen for pathogens and have rigorous safety standards. I believe the FDA will currently allow fmt for treatment of clostridium difficile infection and only after 3 unsuccessful treatments with antibiotics.. Openbiome has developed FMT in pill form. The FDA is controlled by big pharma and big pharma don't like cures.

What about that clinic in England (and also a “Satellit” clinic in Bratislava) ??

[Xenos in reply to JANVAN]

You are right... Many clinics offer FMT. I was not aware of that. I googled it after reading your post.

I guess this is not good news, since if they were successful with PD, we would already know . Or it's just the beginning ?

[JANVAN in reply to Xenos]

This the clinic that I was referring to......seems they have a lot of experience....perhaps somebody can ask them about PD ?

Why not ?

Hope their efficacy is where their prices are : 37.50 £ (44 Euro, 49 $) for... a phone call...

They clearly have a different approach than Dr C. of medicine.

[JANVAN in reply to Xenos]

will you phone them.....??

I perhaps, I'm used to crazy prices, as I am living in Switzerland.....

and, yes perhaps, they will give a good and extensive explanation about it.

I know that in Belgium a study is launched to investigate that, and the influence on Parkinson >>>>>>>>>>
