Misc There may be an existing solution to chronic disease, but a disabled patient seems to be the only person motivated enough to try to obtain it, and...

And they've been failing going at it alone. The solution lies in the gut microbiome, and these two blogs sum up the situation:

• The FDA and FMT regulation. — Human Microbes
• High-quality stool donors are rarer than 1 in a million? AI, funding, potential — Human Microbes

So far, virtually no one out of 1.2 million people seems to care enough to take any action.

The Remission Biome guys helped spread the word, but still, no one is taking any action.

He wants the perfect donor. He has rejected everyone that has submitted.

It's going to fail.

I have greatly improved my thyroid issue by improving my gut health with supplements. I have been on a supplement plan for at least 8 years. Progress has been slow. But I have gone from taking 60 grains of Armour Thyroid daily to taking no daily medication. Once in awhile I take half of a 15mg synthetic thyroid medication for a day or two if symptoms are trying to return. It is a long road, but time and consistency pay off.

They don't "reject everyone", they rank applicants and then people can choose from the top-ranked donors.

What supplements have you found helpful?

I have been on Plexus Triplex. It’s not cheap as supplements I could get at Walmart. But I was missing out on life. I was desperate at the time I started them. I had good thyroid numbers on the 60 grains of Armour, but I felt awful. I was barely getting through the day. People have told me Plexus to expensive. But so is being sick and an endless stream of drs that aren’t helping your symptoms. I spend about $130 a month on the Triplex. I signed up as an ambassador for the wholesale prices. But I don’t try to sell it much. I will take it as long as I can afford it. I don’t ever want to go back to feeling the way I used to. I still have some bad days sometimes. But even those are not as bad as my every day before.
