I've heard many things about fasting and arthritis, but no study was explaining the health improvement by the microbiota's change. Hope the link will soon be done in a real scientific work.

Calorie restriction for increased lifespan has been observed for years now. Knowledge on the human (gut) microbiome's link to disease has been increasing exponentially in recent years.

First time I've seen the link between the two. Good information!

I found this to be very good:

Interesting. I recently saw the movie "Dallas buyers club" that shows the struggle of a man against FDA. This is not a masterpiece but worth to see it.
Also, one year ago i quited cigarette, and it really changed my life, even if I'm not cured yet. Researchs recently prooved that the use (or not) of tobbaco got impact on the microbiome. That's why people who quit are often getting fat.
Moreover some studys linked anti TNF to weight gain, I would not be estonished if it was once again related to bacterias.
So there are many ways to influence the microbiota's composition.
FMT is one of them, but it's still experimental (and that's a shame because it was invented many years ago.). Personally I don't feel sick enought to do it, I mean, I prefere to wait a few years because medicine will probably improve a lot. But, I believe it is a duty to spread this information because many people are suffering without even knowing what is the microbiota, like I use to do only 6 months ago. And, many websites- in France at least, probably paid by the industry - are not in a hurry to share the news.

I had the bacteria in my gut analysed. And this may be the future of medicine （the Guardian)

Here's a link to a blogspot that's been focusing on rebalancing the microbiome.
