There is evidence that it would immensely help with preventing nearly all human-cell borne cancers however, and in my opinion, THAT’S something your messaging should focus strongly on.
Human Microbes doesn’t do any specific messaging/advertising. Just the website where it covers the gut microbiome regulating the entire body and playing a major role in virtually every aspect of health & development. I would think that narrowing the focus to one type of cancer for example would be detrimental.
you’re touting this as a cure all, when really it’s a mass preventative (which again, is still extremely important and something really big).
I think the potential for both prevention and treatment exists for most conditions that are currently beyond medical capabilities. And there is a ton of evidence for this in the wiki I shared. Sure, there are some things that FMT won’t be a solution to of course.
📣 Exciting update from the Nephrolab :koeln: Cologne:
This preprint marks our debut in the BBS research area, presenting work of Emilia Kieckhöfer on cystic kidney disease in Bbs8 and potential mechanisms.
A heartfelt thank you to Helen May-Simera and her team, along with all other contributors, for their invaluable support!
📣 New paper: Using the present on admission (POA) indicator we explored acute #kidney injuries and sex #disparities It's an explorative analysis showing how the POA flag can help to analyse #routinedata more deeply. #realworlddata#openaccess
“Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have #MRI evidence of #lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), #brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and #kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls”
(when I was waiting for a kidney stone operation my kidney specialist was contemplating me being prepared for dialysis - I am fine now)
"Sufferers living with kidney failure can soon look forward to a future without dialysis or a long waits for an organ transplant, thanks to efforts from the University of California in San Francisco that produced an implantable device that mimics the organ’s daily functions.
Their first clinical trial showed that kidney cells, housed within the device called a bioreactor, can work quietly in the background, like a pacemaker, and does not trigger the recipient’s immune system to go on the attack—a major stumbling block for patients who need to take harsh immunity-suppressing drugs after receive donor transplants."
Friends, I need your help. My partner is suffering a sudden medical emergency - on top of chronic #endometriosis, #PCOS, and #LongCOVID, she's just been diagnosed with serious #thyroid and #kidney issues which have weakened her bones, and she's fractured her spine.
She's a #massage#therapist - her life is about healing other people, and now she needs that kind of help.
If you can help by donating, or even just sharing, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
Sitting miles away from home in #vancouver, BC pondering what my next #career move should be. I'm currently a Web Content Manager, I was an Art Director in another life, and in 1987 after reading about Richard Garriott as a kid, I wanted nothing more than to be a game designer.
The whole game designer thing never worked out. I loved being a Graphic Designer at an agency, even though I worked hard to pay my dues. Web Content Management has made me money, but at the cost of happiness? #work
Part of the problem is that I got sucked into the shitty world of #nonprofits. While it has been fulfilling at times, and I hope that I've been able to make a difference in the live of #kidney patients, I believe it was a mistake from a career standpoint.
This current #job started in 11/2021, and for that first year, it was everything I wanted. I worked for an awesome boss and for the first time in a while, I was making money and happy at work. Then she left and it's been pure hell since.
I'm usually hesitant to share too much about my son, Ripley, or his situation but our situation (US, WV/OH) changed last week. Ripley is about 18 months old and we've known since he was born that he would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough. Until last week, our plan was for him to get one of mine. Unfortunately, I was disqualified, so we're on the hunt for a kidney! If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit https://ripley.love (1/2)
We had Ripley's monthly visit with the #kidney docs today. Every month I joke that we won't be back next month because a kidney will become available and she let me know that they've been averaging one #KidneyDonation a month for the rest of the kids who get dialysis there. All deceased donors (this is why it's important to register!) but they've been able to take a kid off of dialysis every month since April, like clockwork. Just knocking that list down until we get to Ripley 😂
My greatest pleasures are walking in the countryside with my wife and son, #photography (just amateur, normally with a phone!), #Reading#books, and exploring new places.
There may be an existing solution to the chronic disease crisis, but a disabled patient seems to be the only person motivated enough to try to obtain it. And they've been failing going at it alone. (www.humanmicrobes.org)
