It seems that FMT is likely to help fix several other conditions besides C Diff. In the USA you appear to become confused with regard to the Ethics of the procedure. From my perspective, and I live in the UK, if it’s ethically acceptable for a life threatening condition, it doesn’t matter what that condition is. And it possibly does help Altzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. There are millions of sufferers of these diseases around the world and it’s high time that we perform studies, since it can be done in the home with a simple enema. Why do we get so ‘queasy’ about it…?…!!
