In Search Of A Healthy Gut, One Man Turned To An Extreme DIY Fecal Transplant (theverge.com)
Josiah Zayner writes: Arielle Duhaime-Ross at The Verge followed Dr. Josiah Zayner, a former Scientist at NASA turned BioHacker, as he attempted the first ever full-body microbiome transplant. She writes "Over the course of the next four days, Zayner would attempt to eradicate the trillions of microbes that lived on and inside his body -- organisms that helped him digest food, produce vitamins and enzymes, and protected his body from other, more dangerous bacteria. Ruthlessly and methodically, he would try to render himself into a biological blank slate. Then, he would inoculate himself with a friend's microbes -- a procedure he refers to as a 'microbiome transplant.'".

Probably not in the way he is attempting. It's almost like you don't understand what he's doing and suggesting an alternative course that is ineffectual out of obvious ignorance.
So unlike everybody who commented before me here (just ACs so far), I actually read what was written and apparently the experiment worked.
I've been running an experiment of my own for 21 years now. For the first 8 years only ate raw veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds. For the last 13 years eating cooked food, only veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds but also cheeses, yoghurt and some breads.
I think people should be free to experiment with their own bodies, we only live once. Some people climb rocks, others eat shit, who knows, maybe something will come out of it. I personally would like to go through the DNA procedure to increase the length of the telomeres like that lady in South America did, I don't want to wait for any government approval for any of it, it's my life.
You can't handle the truth.
Probiotics contain nothing that resembles fecal bacteria. If they did, they'd be immediately removed from the shelves.
Probiotics are mostly a way to seperate people from their money.
And the worms ate into his brain.
