It sounds gross but actually has a reasonable medical explanation as the article makes clear. Normally the donor is someone known to the patient, ideally someone living with the patient as they would consume the same foods but more importantly they would be acclimated to the same pathogens and any ailments of the donor would be a known risk factor. But in this case, the obvious questions is: Who is the donor and what health issues or prescription drugs are they on? There's a good chance the donors are employees that work for big pharma corps.
I think the duty of preserving gut pro-biotics falls to the appendix. It's an organ that had baffled mainstream medicine since its discovery but that would be because the concept of bacteria actually playing a healthy role in human health was generally foreign. But if someone gets a gastrointestinal bug that causes the body to completely cleanse itself through diarrhea, bacteria stored in the appendix repopulates the gut.
Those without them due to appendicitis & surgery do have a bigger challenge.
Better to take probiotics (Kefir, Apple Cider Vinegar.) To make a gut barrier you need probiotics, vitamin B complex and fiber (35 grams a day for men.) If you have all 3, then your body can make sort chain fatty acids that can attach themselves to macrophages and double the number of bad microbes your white blood cells can kill.
I'll never take anything that Big- Pharma puts out, nothing.
I am stuck taking blood thinners. I allowed this doctor in Joplin to give me venous ablations. He insisted I had the wounds on my legs because I had leaky valves in the veins of my legs.
The wounds healed but returned a few months later. The last straw with that guy was when he told me he wanted to shoot foam into my legs to fill in the capillaries. That is a god way to kill the skin since it relies on capillaries to bring in nutrients and remove waste.
I transferred up north at that point. I signed a request to fax my medical records up north. They failed to do so and I had to sign another request and fax that to them.
Now I have blood clots in my legs. Where do you suppose those came from? They need a place to attach and that is the punctures they made to insert catheters to perform the ablations.
The ablations did not kill the MRSA bacteria so that is the reason the wounds returned.
That doctor was promoting that procedure. It makes you wonder how many others have had trouble with blood clots. ;)
