Research is beginning to learn that the minute beasties that live in your lower digestive tract (aka colon) make a difference in your health. See findings from Medical Express which showed that people with melanoma - a very evil and often fatal cancer - who were not responding to immunotherapy began to respond positively following a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT).
I’m imagining a future in which shopping for “designer fecal biota” is a normal thing. We might even learn that centenarians have relatively unique biota cohabiting in their colons. Or that the presence or absence of biota are involved in Alzheimer’s.
