Next question from Don. Sorry if I’m not pronouncing that correctly. He said, “I’m glad that I finally get to attend get to attend live.” Me too. “In Week 6 videos, you hinted you were part of a fecal transplant testing research for a gut clinic. Can you briefly tell us about this background?”
Chris: That didn’t end up proceeding, but I’m contact with quite a few people around the world who are doing fecal transplants clinically. Glenn Taylor at Taymount Clinic, I’ve interviewed him I think twice for my podcast Revolution Health Radio. You can search for that if you haven’t heard those interviews. The Taymount Clinic is one of the few clinics that I’m aware of in the world where a patient can go to have a fecal transplant when they don’t have antibiotic-resistant C. difficile. In this country, in the United States, in order to qualify for a fecal transplant and receive one in the context of our healthcare system, you have to have not only C. difficile but antibiotic-resistant C. difficile, and that has to be documented because of the FDA regulations. Whereas in the UK, they don’t have those regulations, so you’re able to just go to the Taymount Clinic. We have sent patients there, and some patients had pretty phenomenal positive results. Other patients have had not much change, and a couple of patients have actually gotten worse. I think there’s still a lot that we have to learn. Currently, I don’t recommend doing it actually unless the patient is really bad off, like, does have C. difficile or some very serious condition because I feel like there is a lot of uncertainty. I’m much less likely to recommend it and much more likely to try to exhaust almost every other alternative before making that recommendation at this point.
