Well, at least it showed it was relatively safe in a clinical setting, even if the study appeared pretty dodgy.

We're STILL trying to get clinical trials funded. The difficulty is getting investors to fund the trials when even success is not guaranteed to result in any financial gain for the funders. The only hope is for some very wealthy person who it affects personally to come up with the funds.

That's my wife! Just hitting nine years without bipolar depression.

Someone offered me $20,000 for mine. I couldn't accept it. I can't profit from someone else's misfortune.

This paper came out recently that you might want to look at. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I suspect I'm a super-donor, and I keep "coldies" in the freezer in case I get Covid or need antibiotics; it makes absolute sense.

I WASN'T the only one to see that! I am so relieved.

A six month study that took four years to recruit a small sample makes it difficult to exclude placebo effects.
The good thing to come out of what appears to be a strangely-conducted study is that it demonstrates FMT is relatively safe and well-tolerated in a clinical setting.

Why did I think of nipples?
This brings a whole new meaning to "Mother Earth"

If he admitted that God doesn't exist, that would be good. Not likely, but a starting point.

It most definitely is.

Sibling lizards and their mother Glenda in this pic. The smaller lizards were born in late January this year, the lizard on the right was born in 2024, and the lizard on the left is the mother of all eight visible in this photo, but in fact has given birth to over thirty babies since 2020. She has defended them against Brown snakes, Butcherbirds, Australian Magpies and Pied Currawongs. The lizards are the "true" form of the Cunninghams Skinks (Egernia cunninghamii) characterised by being rich brown with white spots, relatively heavy build and living amongst hollow logs as well as rock crevices. They are a long-lived social skink with parental care, feeding on arthropods, small vertebrates, leaves, fungi and carrion, and even careless mice. The keeled scales secure them from predators in hollows and crevices.

A stack of Cunninghams Skinks. This is what my wife and I look at when we have coffee in the morning. These are free-living lizards that I built a habitat for. As the sex toy manufacturer said, "Build it and they will come". #Lizards #Nature

How is Trump so stupid, so corrupt and so morally bereft?
He started this stupid war. He will cripple his own economy and that of much of the world.

It's likely to be a little more complex, but the fact that the patient is now 8 years without bipolar symptoms and off meds (when it was a daily struggle prior to treatment) is a pretty compelling for a link to the gut microbiome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le5L...

I take it you've seen Crabeater Seal teeth...

It's a little known fact that their closest living relatives are Crabeater seals.

Since Epstein "died", he grew a beard.

Is anyone surprised Barnaby Joyce is defending a convicted rapist?

Trump is a criminal pedophile rapist!

My other four siblings were born in Tasmania. Enough said.

Ok. Who made this? 🤭😅🤣🤣

Trump loves suing people, yet he hasn't sued anyone who called him a rapist or a pedophile! Why is that?

As an ecologist, I see that diversity is strength and resilience, at a personal, community and ecosystem level, whether that ecosystem is natural, economic, or societal.

No reasonable person can respect Israel as a moral country.

If you start your assessment of Trump's activities as president with the knowledge that he's actually a Russian plant who answers to Putin, it all makes sense.

Well anyway, Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Believe the victims?! These are heinous crime allegations!

The GOAT.
