I agree completely. For me it was all desperation. I was in a Yahoo group of fellow sufferers, and there was a discussion about an Australian doctor who had published a study in which he cured 20 people of colitis via fecal transplant. Some members of the group ended up going to see him. I couldn't afford to go, but I was able to download the complete paper he published via my brother's university account. It had a complete procedure. I basically just copied it, at home. My dad is a microbiologist, and my mom was a nurse, but it was simple enough for anyone to copy.
Since then a lot has happened in the fecal transplant space. I know there are freeze dried encapsulated pills that are used today. I think the most common disease that gets fecal treatment is c difficile. I doubt it's very easy to find a doctor that is knowledgeable about the space, and get in line for treatment, but there is definitely something to it with certain types of colitis/chrons.

Thank you for the time it took to write this and find the information for me. I appreciate it.
I will sip a little oral morpine later and go down this rabbit hole. Godbless.
