The 'bad' bacteria compete for resources with the 'good' bacteria and simply dominate them to starvation to a point of insignificance. All that's needed is a stool sample with a quorum.

There have been studies that show stool transplants can suddenly cause massive weight changes in individuals. As is often the case with treatments to IBS. It matches up a lot with this study. In addition a similar study has been tried on ge

Not everywhere, sometimes organisations such as the university i'm in make you install a certificate to access the network. SSL is supposed to work a certain way, in practice it doesn't always work that way.

The idea of using Barclays, or any 3rd party bank, is just to get enough traction so they have their own participation method later. Also it doesn't show Barclays on the statement from my usage - it shows the end merchants details. I d

It is a tax affair. That is very clear. I don't know how there is another way to see it. Read about what Ireland gave Apple. They didn't give them cash, unless I misunderstand that. They gave Apple a tax deal, and the EU has no co

A subsidy is as good as state aid. Is subsidy a form of tax, no. It is an issue of tax, not even as blurry as a subsidy. China and the EU pertain the exact same way as Ireland and the EU. The EU has no say over Ireland's tax affairs. T

You could say the same thing about Chinese steel being subsidised by the Chinese state. A US court cannot change that. It is the same with the EC on tax issues. A country can offer something better than an another EU country can, without it

The EU isn't a federation. It's not the United States of Europe. If you're from the US you misunderstand the system. The EU court and EC has no authority to do what its doing now.

Yes you are exactly right! You're missing the point on the EU though. It is not for an EU court to decide this, it is for an Irish court to decide this. The EU should be challenging Ireland to do this, not retroactively changing Irelan

If it's unfair, why cannot someone challenge it in an Irish court to get the same treatment, where does this whole EU business come in? Why should the EU have a say in how a country sets its tax affairs? This is contrary to the treaty.
