There is a guy on YT who created and used a crispered phage at some canadian hackerspace biolab. He is no longer lactose intolerant. He can laugh at academia & .gov institutions and their archaic rules and regulations.
Coincidentally we see similar trends in neuroscience as individuals playing with things such as TMS/TCS etc. can't be held back by institutions such as the FDA & academia thus rush beyond them.
TL;DR Be proud to be at the forefront - it's worth so much more than a dinosaur opinion.

- thatcherc 7y agoI'm pretty sure this is the video that describes the whole process, in case you want to hear more about it. (Haven't watched it myself but it's been on my to-watch list for while) Comes from a YouTube channel called Though Emporium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY

- emilfihlman 7y agoIirc the cure was temporary and he won't be doing it again, but yeah he proved it can work, and work easily.
- cwkoss 7y agoSounds like ThoughtEmporium, but I don't remember him using a phage to do this. Might have to rewatch this video soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY
