Hey! If you ever need help, I am here my friend 😀

We are talking about the general populace, not just a few people who by chance happened to live to that age, please re read the question

Let’s avoid personal insults because they are seriously cringey and completely unrelated to the topic 😊

While Vowst is FDA approved and standardized, it is still derived from screened human donors, just like conventional FMT. The main difference lies in formulation and delivery. Vowst contains around fifty species of spore forming bacteria, but that is only a subset of the much broader microbial diversity found in full spectrum FMT. In fact, Vowst was developed specifically to mimic the therapeutic benefits of FMT while offering more consistent dosing and a reduced risk of transmitting pathogens. Its clinical trials used FMT as a comparator, and the FDA approval was based on its success treating recurrent C difficile infections, the same condition for which FMT is widely used.

I see, well though I have my doubts I will read the paper 👍

My friend, may I ask to read this?

“How many trucks supplying food for Palestinians in Gaza have been supplied by Hamas ?” None, is this an attempt to justify either sides significant wrong doing

I believe in the US, the FDA classifies fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as a biological product and drug, which means its use is regulated under those frameworks, from the limited knowledge I know I believe it is regulated generally with no regulations “specific” to it

Wassup my favorite old people! (Joking)

I am in the 13-17 age range Really? Wow

@swansont is extremely good intentioned and generally a very pleasant person, I suggest re reading whatever they wrote to you if that is what’s making you so angry Also, someone could use DeepL translate on what you just wrote, using Swahili is not a power move I recommending calming down and potentially DMing them, masking threads like this will not improve your reputation, take it from me

Biomaterials that bridge the severed area and guide axons to grow across. These are sometimes seeded with stem cells or growth-promoting molecules. 👍 Just a bridging idea that may be of help

I don’t use ai anymore as to pertain to site rules thank you though 👍 It’s fine, I didn’t want to burden you with my own issues I was just curious as to if I could find out who

When the spinal cord is completely severed, current understanding in neuroscience tells us that communication between the brain and the limbs below the injury typically stops. This is because the nerve fibers that transmit electrical signals, called axons, are physically interrupted. In the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, neurons do not naturally regenerate or reconnect the way nerves in other parts of the body can. The area of injury also forms scar tissue and releases chemical signals that discourage any attempts at regrowth. These biological obstacles are the main reason that traditional surgical reconnection of a severed spinal cord does not lead to restored function. The suggestion that there might still be tiny signals crossing the injured area, even if undetectable with current technology, is interesting. Some researchers have proposed that faint electrical or biochemical activity might persist in ways we cannot yet measure. This is especially true in what are called incomplete spinal cord injuries, where some nerve fibers remain unbroken. In those cases, even minimal signal transmission can sometimes be enhanced through rehabilitation and neuromodulation techniques. While complete spinal cord injuries are thought to block all signal transmission, your idea invites us to keep an open mind. Scientific tools are improving every year, and what is undetectable today might be measurable in the near future. Another point that was mentioned about increasing the signal by adding more spinal cord tissue is a little bit to imaginative. In theory, if additional nerve tissue could be added in such a way that it integrates with the patient’s existing neural network, it might help create new connections or pathways. However, this process is incredibly complex. The spinal cord is not like a wire where adding length or width makes the signal stronger. Instead, every axon must be precisely connected to the right target. The tissue must also be alive, capable of transmitting electrical impulses, and protected from the immune system, which tends to reject foreign neural tissue. In the current state of science, using donated spinal cord tissue from deceased individuals is not yet a practical solution. The transplanted tissue would likely be rejected unless the patient is given strong immune suppressing drugs. Even if rejection could be prevented, the donated tissue would need to grow, connect, and function in a highly organized and very specific way. That level of neural integration has not yet been achieved in humans. Scientists are, however, working on alternatives. These include stem cell therapies, artificial scaffolds to guide nerve growth, electrical stimulation devices, and gene therapies that reduce the chemical barriers to regrowth. P.S I enjoyed the meme 👍

I’ve gotten a barrage of recent downvotes a bit out of the blue recently, about 4-5, I have had significant luck improving my reputation overall. Is there a way to tell who’s downvoting you as to ask them why? Some of my statements such as “Thank you my friend!” Have been downvoted and I am curious to why someone would do that

I will! Thank you my friend!

I know I just wanted to apologize because I realized it was wrong

I do strongly agree here, I understand it’s a question from OP but I can’t really understand the intention

It’s not a problem, it’s simply how they are neurologically wired Psychopaths do not feel remorse, they are not inherently bad nor art they inherently violent. Saying you would “forcefully cure” them is somewhat similar to saying you can cure someone of autism

My friend, you could perhaps use the term “Abrahamic” it should save you time whilst not sacrificing meaning

First off, it is totally understandable why you might think mice have a similar digestive system to humans. In some very general ways, they do share certain features, after all, they are mammals, they eat many of the same macronutrients, and their gut includes similar organs. That is why they are often used in laboratory studies. But the big catch is that similarity does not mean equivalence. Their diets, gut microbiomes, metabolic rates, and especially their evolutionary context are all very different. Mice did not evolve under the same pressures as early hominins, and their digestive systems have not had to adapt to things like long-term cooking or scavenging fatty meat on the savannas. So yes, whoever said mice are “similar” to humans in that way was oversimplifying, not totally wrong in every sense, but not capturing the full picture either. As for Catching Fire, I think it is a fantastic choice if you want to dig deeper. Richard Wrangham writes with both scientific insight and personal passion (From my opinion) which makes the book overall feel engaging. He does make a few claims that are more speculative or less backed by hard data, and some readers might feel that he occasionally moves too quickly over complex counterpoints. But that is part of the nature of bold ideas, not every sentence needs to be perfect for the overall theory to hold weight. You can always read it with a critical but open mind, which it sounds like you are totally ready to do. If anything, those “flippant” comments can be an opportunity to pause and ask, “Do I agree with this? Why or why not?” That is how you get the most out of any book, especially one about something as central to our humanity as food and fire. Sorry for the late response btw I have been busy

Even though they are often used in lab settings for controlled dietary experiments, they do not have the same digestive system or energy requirements as humans, especially not as early hominins whose bodies and brains were shaped by millions of years of environmental and nutritional pressures. So, comparing the effects of raw and cooked food on a modern mouse is not the same as testing those effects on an early Homo erectus or Australopithecus. Also, your point about the gastrointestinal system is spot on. Over time, human guts shrank while our brains grew. That tradeoff, called the expensive tissue hypothesis, proposes that we could not have both a large brain and a large gut without more available energy. Cooking made that possible. In fact, fossil evidence suggests that some hominins had smaller teeth and jaws, weaker chewing muscles, and less robust gut structures as their diets evolved to include more easily processed food. That supports the idea that something changed to reduce the physical effort and digestive cost of eating. So yes, while the mouse study is interesting in a narrow, controlled sense, it is not a fair test of the cooking hypothesis as it applies to human evolution. The environment, food types, and biology involved are simply too different. It is also important to remember that no single study disproves a hypothesis, but skepticism around the specific theory may be high for such reasons

That is good! I get notifications and often times I can’t respond to them because they do not appear

I try to be knowledgeable to help, I’m not attempting to be a “show off.” I hope you do not think I am trying to do that, even remotely. I made an error, that’s my fault. Not really following on how this is showboating my friend. Also, since you read quite frequently there is a sentence error in your first sentence, “in” was out twice. Why do you keep on mentioning LLM’s? Would you prefer I record me typing my responses out? I will attempt you integrate your way of engaging to my own one for the sake of appeasement and to hopefully better my own reputation 👍

Ok I removed my reaction Apologies for being irrelevant 👍 Again, my intention was to “wasn’t to conflate the two but to push back on the broader language that described FMT as “highly speculative” I already clarified it was irrelevant, please stop assuming my intention 👍
