When on antibiotics for the first time in 20 years maybe 2 years ago (wisdom teeth extraction), I also researched a bit about that stuff. I was taking a wild mix of bacteria in high dose, timed centered in between the antibio bomb hits, kinda like repairing a tank factory in Command & Conquer while it is being attacked (but in a manner that it wouldn't be instantly deactivated by the pills).
But from what I found, taking healthy gut biome samples _before_ the antibiotics treatment starts, and after it, planting it back, yields far superior results, more quickly, to get back to as it was before, as the biome seems to be highly indiviaual with regards to what kinds of bacteria, and the ratios, are good for someone. E.g. some people will more likely develop MS if one bacterium is present alot, while it's not doing anything bad in others. (so I didn't buy the supplement that had that in it, just in case, lol)
Don't have the references at hand. But it's a bummer that that sort of stuff is not only not offered regularly for this, it's not even on the radar of any doctor here, it's not an established procedure.
We have a pond which attracts a plethora of waterfowl and every dog we have had has seen their feces as a delicacy.
People in general need to be aware that our world & ourselves are teeming with bacteria. Be good to them & they will be good to you! That movie looks very interesting- might have to drop a few bucks to watch it!
"The FDA has not approved of any specific procedure." that is already an indication of what the method is worth.
One of the workers of the largest supplemental probiotic producers once told me that they are NOT allowed to produce probiotic suppositories. When I asked why on earth? The answer was: it would work too good.
Do we need to wonder why FDA is forbidding NAC, EDTA, etc, etc???
Also one of the most devoted FMT practitioners has that one rule for the super-donor: It has to be a person WHO WAS NEVER VACCINATED!!!

While everyone thought a man discovered penicillin, it was a woman behind it..
“In 1941 , lab assistant Mary Hunt offered up a couple of over ripe melons covered in a robust golden mould and the lab went ballistic.
The mould turned out to be Penicillium chrysogeum, which yielded 200 times the amount of penicillin that Flemming described.”
