It is a short piece that comments on another article in the publication that covers dramatic improvement in a 26 year old Crohn's patient after a single FMT infusion. The result was not sustained though, so the upshot is that more infusions are probably required and more needs to be done to isolate the best donors.

tsssst.... and there still not doing FMT orally.

another thing i don't like is their hypothesis at the end of this excerpt about why such varied responses among patient in regards to fmt, we just need more specific data about these experiments before we can really propose a good hypothesis, yes it is either one of the "30 reasons" they just gave(exaggeration of course). To make a really good hypothesis we need lots of details about these experiments, otherwise progress will be dodgy and slow just like it has been for the past 30-50 years. But i recognize things are now moving at lightning speed compared to years prior. Takes time for people to soak all this info in as well, these are very new ideas about how the body works. We have spent at least 100 years telling people bacteria solely cause disease, now were getting people to try and change their minds, yea that'll take some time.
