“I give credit to the film makers for making a doc on such a taboo subject. I think there are clearly problems as far as how much you can take from this test scientifically, but regardless i do believe there already is some work done that hopefully will increase. Because if it can be proven that this is a technique with great results, hopefully it will over come the cringe factor that some people might have when they initially hear what it entails. It has clear scientific merit, and there is no doubt that if the initial studies are backed up with more studies that show the same success as those did, then videos like this that take this out of the shadows and into the light so to speak, are going to be more and more important. As if this can save lives, and/or improve the state of many peopleu0026#39;s lives, then it needs to happen more, and sadly right now it is not a very common thing, despite it already showing success in many scientific studies, that are more rigorous of course then this video.nWhich is another point, I hope people donu0026#39;t assume that there is not already scientific peer reviewed research on this already as well. As people might assume by the tone that there is u0026#39;littleu0026#39; scientific merit to the procedure, when in fact it makes a great deal of sense based on what we know of the gut flora etc…”
