Faecal transplants can treat some cancers — but probably won’t ever be widely used
Gut microbiota could be crucial to the success or failure of immunotherapy. Donated stool might give oncologists a way to tip the balance, but the real excitement lies in what comes next.

I have a loved one with CBD too - it’s been savage. I can imagine someone having odd neurological symptoms and CBD being mooted as a *possible* cause. But my relative was way, way past the point of walking around Cornwall by the time the diagnosis was confidently made. It all stinks.

TBF, early on, CBD has much diagnostic uncertainty, without a definitive signature it’ll typically be one of several possibilities. Maybe the guy had some issues and it was cited as a possible cause but it’s very hard to see a neurologist saying someone capable of walking around Cornwall had CBD.

if I’d known CBD was at the heart of the SP, I would have read it, and I would’ve had a lot of questions. If I’d known the sequel reports that a bracing walk can reverse neurodegenerative, I’d have demanded to see those two alleged brain scans.
