Yes, but this study isn't replacing the entire biome. What I was citing, was a case of people having lost their gut bacteria completely. They use a relative, as using a random person in such cases, which isn't a match for that person's genetic history, can be quite harmful.
It's precisely why they seek a close relative.
Adding some additional gut bacteria doesn't replace everything you have. Otherwise, you'd get sick from eating a salad someone else prepared, and ingesting some of their bacteria. The peanut thing may be introducing an additional bacterium which perhaps processes peanuts in a better fashion, but without supplanting anything?
So I won't say you're wrong. But without trials I won't say you're right, either.
- esseph 2mo ago> This is somewhat, what happened to me. I found I lost all energy, and my strength was about half what it was. Lots of online reports about the effectiveness of this (dangerous, at-home, self-administered) treatment. It will probably be another 10-15y before widely and cheaply available. Some don't or didn't want to wait, but there are definite risks.
- b112 2mo agoWhat you linked was to peanuts. I have no issue with peanuts. Nor will I eat random bacteria because some dudes on a forum or tiktok say so. I'm fine eating meat. It's healthy for me. I merely described the situation as a FYI.
- esseph 2mo ago> What you linked was to peanuts I posted two links, check the second. Also apparently this can be administered (medically) through the nose with a tube instead of pill form, which.... Oof.
- b112 2mo agoIf you think about it, your gut bacteria are ingesting food and breaking it down and excreting waste, which we then either eat or pass ourselves.
