 Had I waited on institutions like this to reach my condition's solutions, my health would have further declined. I wouldn't have been able to afford it either.

And while I did this out of desperation (and I don't recommend others take this route), the ones the FDA is approving are having a cost of $10,000 or more. 
 
-My situation underscores the human costs of delays in researching promising but non-mainstream therapies. In my exploration, I've learned how we've employed FMT-based cures for thousands of years until Western biases emerged in the 1850s. Even now, most studies on my conditions only just getting started, barely out of mouse trials.

 My successes highlight the potential such alternatives hold if not stifled by a system preferring patented remedies over integrative solutions. New paradigms are still needed to properly leverage scientific resources and ecological wisdom for improving lives. Reform is required to develop healthcare capable of maximizing human potential instead of just seeking out what can be made profitable in an adversarial healthcare system.
