Hi Drizzit - Yes, those stem cell therapies, too much fraud around. We have been looking at it in the glaucoma group...Ho-Hum. Scary what is going on. Sadly desperate people are only too ready to take desp measures and all too often end up being hoodwinked !
So far, stem cells have not performed overly brightly !
As for the FMT - clinical trials world-wide have been going on for a couple of years, and now there are many more underway and more in the pipe-line (recruiting). See the link on Sue`s link, under Resources. Very interesting.
Think it could well be a way forward for many but not for everyone, and, as has been discovered (seen) not everyone is a good responder to FMT protocol. There are NO promises. Still in the trial and error stage, and, as has been pointed out, post marketing will answer many questions. Generally reckoned 7 years, but as has been proven with CT scans, contrast dyes, cortisone, fluoroquinolones, NSAIDs etc etc giving rise to iatrogenic diseases / conditions, could well be a greater number than 7... Sigh !
