I think that by doing experiments, teaching and learning, it shows that it doesn't require a Ph.D. to do something helpful in Science for humanity.

I am being partly facetious. I just mean that the amount of power and associations in those studies can be pretty variable. I imagine you are correct about inflammation.

Yep.

I suffer from a number of health issues check out blog post including terrible post nasal drip, bipolar disorder and I was looking to see how the transplant would effect them all so I monitored lots of different aspects during the experiment(see questionaire). I don't know if any of these were related to the gut... the FMT resolved frequency of pooping(from 3+ times a day to once a day in the morning), stomach pain, bloating and even provided weight loss(I don't think I was overweight(5'9" 170) but definitely not lean). The post nasal drip or the bipolar didn't seem to resolve much, maybe 50% for the post nasal drip but much harder to quantify.

Try it and document it. Seems like a pretty safe experiment.
