I just can’t even fathom having an original idea like this and then even more so having it work. Who thinks of this shit?

  There’s been information about the power of FMT floating around out there for a while now. I’m convinced that pharmaceutical corporations have nothing to benefit from more effective treatments, which could largely be why we see smaller players doing these types of honorable and groundbreaking studies. One study I’d love to see is the effect of treated tap water on our microbiome. If tap water is designed to kill micro-organisms, what could it be doing inside us?

  Given that there's a large body of work detailing the importance of the gut microbiome, which has effects on everything from cognition to the immune system, it wasn't as huge a stretch as it might seem. Perhaps only when you're not aware of the incremental progress so it may seem as a huge leap.
