That you decline to acknowledge a "solution" as being such does not render it a "(non-)solution".
That is why I placed the "non-" in parenthesis to acknowledge it is my opinion.

P.S. username18333, yes democracy is a plutocracy and usury is symbiotic with the Industrial Age economics. Both are what I believe will be eliminated by the Knowledge Age, as I have already explained ad nauseum in this thread and in the Economics Devastation thread. This thread is supposed to be about practical solutions to the coming totalitarianism, not a redundant spamming of a pet theory for an anti-money (non-)solution. You can choose to live in your fantasy world of theology and existential philosopy (not to say that isn't interesting or relevant but you are inserting it into the wrong thread). My understanding is that the creator of this thread and many readers would prefer to talk about how to live in this tangible world?

Quote from: Plato, _The Republic_ (514a‒5d), 380 BCE
“Next,” said I, “compare our nature in respect of education and its lack to such an experience as this. Picture men dwelling in a sort of subterranean cavern with a long entrance open to the light on its entire width. Conceive them as having their legs and necks fettered from childhood, so that they remain in the same spot, able to look forward only, and prevented by the fetters from turning their heads. Picture further the light from a fire burning higher up and at a distance behind them, and between the fire and the prisoners and above them a road along which a low wall has been built, as the exhibitors of puppet-shows have partitions before the men themselves, above which they show the puppets.” “All that I see,” he said. “See also, then, men carrying past the wall implements of all kinds that rise above the wall, and human images and shapes of animals as well, wrought in stone and wood and every material, some of these bearers presumably speaking and others silent.” “A strange image you speak of,” he said, “and strange prisoners.” “Like to us,” I said; “for, to begin with, tell me do you think that these men would have seen anything of themselves or of one another except the shadows cast from the fire on the wall of the cave that fronted them?” “How could they,” he said, “if they were compelled to hold their heads unmoved through life?” “And again, would not the same be true of the objects carried past them?” “Surely.” “If then they were able to talk to one another, do you not think that they would suppose that in naming the things that they saw they were naming the passing objects?” “Necessarily.” “And if their prison had an echo from the wall opposite them, when one of the passersby uttered a sound, do you think that they would suppose anything else than the passing shadow to be the speaker?” “By Zeus, I do not,” said he. “Then in every way such prisoners would deem reality to be nothing else than the shadows of the artificial objects.” “Quite inevitably,” he said. “Consider, then, what would be the manner of the release and healing from these bonds and this folly if in the course of nature something of this sort should happen to them: When one was freed from his fetters and compelled to stand up suddenly and turn his head around and walk and to lift up his eyes to the light, and in doing all this felt pain and, because of the dazzle and glitter of the light, was unable to discern the objects whose shadows he formerly saw, what do you suppose would be his answer if someone told him that what he had seen before was all a cheat and an illusion, but that now, being nearer to reality and turned toward more real things, he saw more truly? And if also one should point out to him each of the passing objects and constrain him by questions to say what it is, do you not think that he would be at a loss and that he would regard what he formerly saw as more real than the things now pointed out to him?” “Far more real,” he said.
People who are fooled by the illusion of law & order, aren't going to be buying crypto-currency for disruptive reasoning any way, rather only because they are jealous of gains others made.
And those who are buying crypto for disruptive reasoning, aren't concerned about the free market process because that is what they want.
Your thesis is fundamentally irrelevant.
You are just another worry wort control freak like your philosophical cohort Gregory Maxwell.
Pleeaaase don't try to assert that Bitcoin is going to replace legal tender in the minds of your cohort. Delusion is all you know.

That research is already cited in my white paper on the correct way to design an anonymity network. Fingerprinting and also internet routing subversion are two of the recent ways discovered to unmask anonymity networks.
The bandaids that are proposed will never entirely solve the underlying problem. I do a paradigm shift on command & control to fix that problem (and any other attack that can be devised) at the fundamental basis. It is similar in a high-level abstraction to how I fixed proof-of-work networks and separately found a complete solution to the expression problem of modularity in software. I am on a roll recently in terms of discovery. The conceptual discoveries are pouring out of me at such a rapid rate, that I can't even keep up with writing them down in white papers.
There are three white papers under construction thus far:
- improving upon on chain anonymity math
- scalable, uncensorable proof-of-work network design (with plugin interface for transaction protocol, i.e. use what ever you like, Cryptonote, Confidential Transactions, or my new on chain anonymity design)
- fixed design for anonymity networks and hidden services (to fix or replace Tor, I2P, and Bitmessage). Perhaps this will be integrated with someone else's work.
Yet no one can work with me
Nevermind! 
Here follows a little spanking for those who think I am not an expert...
It may be very important for you to share those insights with us.
Angel investors (even $3000 is enough) who implement the required computer security procedures will receive copies of all the white papers and code ongoing so they can take over if something happens to me where I can't continue. Obviously conflicts of interest prevent me from recruiting certain coveted angel investors who I'd benefit to have advising me and checking my work, e.g. smooth. I offered angel investors (of which there is only one so far who I took funding from and few others who are ready to give funding) a deal where they get more coins per $ invested than later investors.
The required security procedures include to minimally to build a correctly configured air gapped computer.
This means purchasing a 2nd computer that you build yourself and install Linux so that you can be sure it was never connected to the internet nor never plugged into any peripheral that had ever been plugged into any other device. Even one violation of this policy and the air gapped computer is no longer provably secure! A $75 Rasberry Pi 2 can satisfy this requirement and it even ships with the preload N00bs Linux operating system on a microSD card. I suppose a millionaire could afford $75 for an air gapped computer which they should already be using for their crypto wallet! You'd probably want to let someone else order this for you, so some adversary isn't trying to intercept it during shipment and infect it with spyware.
Due to the programmable USB controller firmware (and not being able to reliably determine which USB devices are reprogrammable), then no USB pluggable peripheral (e.g. USB keyboards, mice, flash drives, webcams, etc) can be safely plugged into one computer and then another. For example, your USB flash drive can be reprogrammed to masquerade as both a drive and an undetectable keyboard. The firmware can't even be scanned for malware (spyware) because the firmware controls the scanning of itself! Thus you can not use a USB flash drive to do the sneakernet for transfering files between your internet facing computer and the air gapped computer. I have a solution to this but I will not type it here, because it is covered in one of my white papers and that would surely identify me as the author of the white paper. Mircea Popescu (alias MPEX/MPOE-PR who provided that upthread photo of a naked brown skinned female touching her vagina) recommends an optical scanner solution, but that is highly impractical. I have an elegant solution which I realized by researching the nature of the threat.
Then employing 7zip encrypt/decryption and base64 encode/decode utilities so all data is encrypted/decrypted and encoded/decoded to text files on the air gapped computer and then transferred via the secure method to the internet facing computer and then sent by copy+paste into Bitmessage on the internet facing computer. This is essentially NSA proof, for as long as you always carry the air-gapped computer with you every where you go. Remember the government has secret agents in every city on earth and can't break into your office or home and plant spyware on your computer without you ever noticing. If you are a public figure of interest, you can assume they've already done it.
Never transfer virus capable files to your air gapped computer such as PDF files. No more white papers in PDF formats! Grrr. Any altcoin publishing white papers in PDF format has already admitted they are clueless, inept, or not that serious!
The point herein is we'd like to fall through the cracks and be basically unnoticed.
To that end, it would be much better to replace Bitmessage with an improvement asap (which would also be easier to use and deploy thus more popular and thus a larger anonymity set to fall into the cracks of). With the Bitmessage decrypting from your Bitmessage address key on the internet facing computer, then if the spyware isn't in your air gapped computer but is in your internet facing computer, then your anonymity is gone even though the adversary can't read your 7zip encrypted data. Well then you might as well just use email and 7zip then! So to retain anonymity with certainty, we need to take extra measures.
The first step would be to construct a new internet facing computer which you will not use for any activity except the very focused and limited activity required, e.g. a dedicated, home built, Linux computer with all unnecessary ports turned off, the firewall turned on, and only used for Bitmessage.
The next step beyond that level, would be to build an app that is better than Bitmessage which knows how to interopt with an air gapped computer.
And then other things we can do beyond that in terms of secure hardware and operating systems, c.f. Skycoin's thread as he writes about this frequently...
Edit: I just noticed this strange post from gmaxwell on MPOE-PR's reputation:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=52741
Quote from: gmaxwell
MPOE-PR is a strange shill account for Mircea Popescu; Some people believe that MPOE-PR _is_ MP, constant use of third person pronouns not withstanding, others believe that MPOE-PR is a "representative" (the woman pictured), who just seems to strangely talk like Mircea and know everything he knows. It doesn't matter; for all intents and purposes MPOE-PR is Mircea's face on BCT and this review is over his entire enterprise.
After years of exposure I believe MP is categorically unsafe to do business with. He will reliably act in a manner which causes gain for him at the expense of others and he believes that he is right and proper in doing so because he believes he is inherently superior to the people he rips off.
I've never personally been ripped off from him, as I steered clear of him since he refused to stop posting apparently child porn in #bitcoin-otc but I've seen many cases where other people have been:
Some concrete examples,
Here is a thread about MP* stealing 10 BTC outright from a user https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitbet-stole-7000-from-me-10-btc-339544
Here is a thread about MP* naked shorting GIGA mining bonds and then escaping by declaring them worthless: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gigamining-the-mpex-situation-244716

So I checked out the alleged $7000 theft and clearly it is some attempt to blame the ineptness of the "victim" to use a wallet of his choosing on someone other than himself.
Thus I conclude again that Gregory Maxwell is a closet socialist, control freak who believes the world should operate according to some consumer protection laws.
Individual responsibility is only motivated by not providing a nanny state.
I urge someone to email this to Martin Armstrong and ask him to get a grip on reality. He still thinks the USA and Russia are enemies, lol.
That movie/documentary (is there a vocabulary word?) is accurate to some extent as to the difficulties one can face during an economic collapse and especially in war, but it is not exactly the reality we face, primarily because we must grasp that TPTB (the core most people behind the curtain of those 147 transnational corporations that own and run the world) do not want to lose control of their ownership.
Catherine Austin Fitts' "slow burn" is a more apt abstraction of the reality of the crisis we face.
Rather the goal of TPTB is to eliminate their competition and threats to their economies-of-scale and profits, i.e. those pesky smaller sovereigns (nations, local governments, upstart millionaires, etc) that get in the way of their monopolies. They use the crisis they create in order to grab more power, as you can see they are doing in both Ukraine and Greece now.
Btw, as an aside, one of the programmer/mathematicians I thought I had hired was a 26 year Ukrainian. After I explained to him the computer security procedures I needed him to follow, he went silent and then a few days later he replied he had taken a job with Barclays (for eur3500 monthly) designing high frequency trading algorithms. You see most people are sheep and will willingly work for the enemy doing work that is harmful to humanity.
So one of TPTB's first priorities is to disarm the public. They will use a ratcheted crisis (not a sudden uncontrolled pandemic as in the quoted movie) to send the police and military (and national guard as they did after Hurricane Katrina in my birthplace New Orleans) to confiscate all the guns (both registered and of course unregistered). If you have a registered gun, then they know you have it and the gun control databases will be computerized. I was told in 2006 in Corpus Christi, Texas by a former captain in the police force, that all local police had been deputized by the Feds since 9/11 (meaning the Feds can take over command & control of the local police in a declaration of martial law and instruct them to do what they want).

TPTB know they have a big problem with the militias, so their goal will be to isolate them away from the majority of the population and then divide-and-conquer them. They have to be very careful that they don't allow self-sufficient communities to form due to this isolation. They will label these militias terrorists and this is why they will need the ability to censor the internet. That is why they've been accelerating moves such as the FCC taking control of the internet via executive policy directives such as Net Neutrality. If the militias are too strong, TPTB may have to move to allowing a foreign army on USA soil in order to neutralize the militias. I believe the faux conflict between the USA vs. Russia/China is setup as a plan C for this possible scenario (definitely not the preferred scenario of TPTB because it is very risky).
I believe TPTB are profiling and counting how many truly "take it from my cold dead hand" militia there are, and they will isolate the most extremists ones first and exterminate them as terrorists. They need some excuse to do this action. The problem they realize at Bundy Ranch is the militia will embed themselves amongst women and children, thus the need for control over the internet so the mass murder can be carried out without the eye of the public watching. It may come down to "blue hats" on USA soil as Kissinger promised some decades ago, i.e. that international war can be used to slaughter the militias if necessary (which is also essentially is being done in Ukraine as a preliminary test case, just as they used Katrina a test bed).
Simultaneously they can take out the weaker gun rights advocates by sending the IRS after them, Civil Asset Forfeiture and numerous others means of picking off the weak from the herd to weaken the herd.
So if you talk about one of the most powerful weapons one can give to the local militias, that is an anonymous internet which can't be filtered nor controlled. Not an easy thing to accomplish. First you need the anonymity protocols (and Tor and I2P are broken designs). Then you need HAM radio backup for the internet infrastructure so the internet will always stay on regardless what the Feds do to the internet backbones.
Note according to MA's computer models of repeating cycles, we may see a pandemic starting in 2017 and peaking 2018, and this is a wild card because TPTB may not be able to entirely control the effects of a rapid spread. The severity, death rate, speed of death, and mode of transmission are unknown, so we can't yet estimate the effects. However, maybe we can look to the Spanish Flu epidemic in the early 1900s for clues. The government did not lose control. People became more dependent on the government to enforce quarantines and isolation wards (warehouses filled with sick). You see the government has been building detention camps all over the USA, so maybe they are prepared.
P.S. username18333, yes democracy is a plutocracy and usury is symbiotic with the Industrial Age economics. Both are what I believe will be eliminated by the Knowledge Age, as I have already explained ad nauseum in this thread and in the Economics Devastation thread. This thread is supposed to be about practical solutions to the coming totalitarianism, not a redundant spamming of a pet theory for an anti-money (non-)solution.

The socialists love to tout that 1% of the world’s population will own more wealth than the other 99%. From the socialists’ viewpoint, this justifies stealing from one group to give to another, despite this model failing in the past. It is also in clear violation of the Ten Commandments. But why does this trend even happen? Is it that the 1% suppress the 99%? Or could it be that government suppresses the 99%?
The 99% cannot get richer because government robs them every day. What should have been put into savings and investments, was squandered as usual by politicians. So is it the fault of those who actually invest on their own? The socialists want to blame the rich and rob them, handing more and more assets to the political class who waste it on themselves.
The 99% need to wake up. It ain’t the 1% – It is those who pretend to be on your side who deprive you of your real right to economic freedom.

Quote from: Deuteronomy 23:19‒20 (Darby)
Thou shalt take no interest of thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that can be lent upon interest: of a foreigner thou mayest take interest, but of thy brother thou shalt not take interest; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Hark, “the pious or holy” (Plato) “the capital or money” (qtd. in username18333) is “a yoke” (Jer. 28.14).
Quote from: Jeremiah 28:14 (Darby)
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
What it is, is proof by contradiction.
Proof only exists in purely axiomatic systems (e.g., mathematics). Empirical systems have but evidence, since observation must be assumed to be veridical (should one aim to avoid solipsism). Therefore, you have not proven anything (that genuinely corresponds to the observable universe). Furthermore, your hypothetical is so far abstracted from reality that its meaningful connections to reality, if any, are not at all apparent (which, according to your criticism of my use of language, is entirely the fault of yourself).
Regardless, I have shown that - at least, within the context of your hypotheticals - reality has to be framed around money (perhaps, via a plutocratic hyperreality) for it to be anything but an instrument of augmenting the abuse of scarcity to one's (perhaps, a plutocrat's) advantage.
(P.s. Feel welcome to confer hyperlinks to this post unto others.)
Please point out to the senile Noam Chomsky that he is describing democracy, where the 0.001% (the unaccountable private owners of the governments) convince the 99% to tax the 1%, which is really a tax on the 99.999%.

Do you believe that any significantly disruptive emerging anonymous altcoin/internet would show up in Armstrong's ECM?
I had independently discovered there was a technological unemployment cycle before I became tuned into Armstrong's ECM. It was this technological disruption cycle which seemed to correspond with the real estate cycle.
I'm assuming this fall until 2033 is due to a composite of technological disruption (including robotics), war... and perhaps lack of demand due to a dramatically smaller population?
It is mostly the collapse of leverage, leverage that was piled on to fund the extension of the industrial age beyond its useful lifespan. China ate the end of the industrial age and leveraged up to hell with 0 and negative profit margins, and in doing so thus caused a symbiosis in the West that also levered up to avoid making the transition to the post-industrial age.
So I think we can say that the Knowledge Age kicking into high gear as of 2007.15, and that 2011.45 to 2015.75 was brief eye in the storm where the Knowledge Age takeover was temporarily slowed down. Yet the early part of Bitcoin's existence before 2011, was Knowledge Age directed because it was decentralized (no ASICs nor pools yet) and it was spreading the concepts that will be incorporated into a disruptive altcoin. Remember I believe Bitcoin is planted by the DEEP STATE to enslave humanity in electronic currency and thus is the antithesis of Knowledge Age take over.
One of the reasons I got out of BTC recently (OK, price was part of it)... until something better comes along anyway.
I believe BTC will rise one more time to $330 - $340ish, this month for a double-top, before the capitulation into lows by end of Q1 2016:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12041756
I am expecting double-digit BTC prices for the low.
Thus yes, I expect the disruptive altcoin to arrive after 2015.75, i.e. October 2015.
So, we can expect “someone” to make it happen. The (“all the world's a”) stage is set.
I have decided to just push on and struggle and see how much work I complete by the end of this month. If I find that the M.S. is making it unlikely that I can complete the project in any reasonable # of months, then I would strongly consider accepting an angel investor who can fund me to go to Australia to get fecal transplants.
This seems like a wise and logical move.
Agreed.
Do you believe that any significantly disruptive emerging anonymous altcoin/internet would show up in Armstrong's ECM?
I had independently discovered there was a technological unemployment cycle before I became tuned into Armstrong's ECM. It was this technological disruption cycle which seemed to correspond with the real estate cycle.
I'm assuming this fall until 2033 is due to a composite of technological disruption (including robotics), war... and perhaps lack of demand due to a dramatically smaller population?

I have been obviously really thinking a lot about why I bothered to try to find a collaborator and also about why I would vent it publicly as I did.
Doing a Steve Jobs and being brutally frank, I think the problem is I am having so much loss of time from the Multiple Sclerosis, that I didn't trust my sheer will power to "get 'er done". Normally in the past, I was always sure I could put in the hours necessary.
Yesterday I started the day strong as I wrote about, but after about 4 hours the malaise started and the rest of the day was lost. I ended up sleeping by 3pm (after eating and a couple hours of trying to fight the malaise and failing to get any productive work done) and woke up 8pm still in a malaise and even my eyes hurt (this seems to always get worse after I exercise hard, perhaps the inflammation of the exercise stirs up the autoimmunity). Managed to get some work done (reviewing the math for one of my recent epiphanies) but my gut and head are hurting and it just isn't the same as when I was healthy. Normally I would have already finished the white paper and have been doing some coding all in this day. Now it takes me days just to complete what would have taken me only a day.
Some days I feel no ill effects and I perform basically at the same level as I did when I was healthy. But I don't get enough of these days.

Note I know my illness is correlated to my gut, because the worst inflammation and autoimmunity symptoms always start right after I eat. It is so predictable.

Regarding the extra veins and shit they mention, I get yellowed jaundice at my abdomen sometimes and also purplish coloring and pindot red blood spots.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
T.J. Borody, S.M. Leis, J.L. Campbell, M. Torres, A. Nowak, , Centre for
Digestive Diseases, Five Dock, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA;
ABSTRACT BODY:
Purpose: Recent evidence implicates the GI microbiota in the progression of neurological diseases such as Parkinsons Disease 1, Multiple Sclerosis and Myasthenia Gravis 2. We report three patients with MS diagnoses who achieved durable symptom reversal with FMT for constipation.
Methods: Case study observations on three MS cases
Results:
Case 1: A 30 yr old male with constipation, vertigo and impaired concentration and a concomitant history of MS and trigeminal neuralgia. Neurological symptoms included severe leg weakness and he required a wheelchair and an indwelling urinary catheter. Previous failed treatments included Mexiletine,
Tryptanol and 9-interferon. The patient underwent 5 FMT infusions for his constipation, with its complete resolution. Interestingly his MS also progressively improved, regaining the ability to walk and facilitating the removal of his catheter. Initially seen as a ‘remission’, the patient remains well 15 yrs post-FMT without relapse.
Case 2: A 29 yr old wheelchair-bound male with ‘atypical MS’ diagnosis and severe, chronic constipation. He reported parasthesia and leg muscle weakness. The patient received 10 days of FMT infusions which resolved his constipation. He also noted progressive improvement in neurological symptoms, regaining the
ability to walk following slow resolution of leg parasthesia. Three years on the patient maintains normal motor, urinary and GI function.
Case 3: An 80 yr old female presented with severe chronic constipation, proctalgia fugax and severe muscular weakness resulting in difficulty walking, diagnosed as ‘atypical’ MS. She received 5 FMT infusions with rapid improvement of constipation and increased energy levels. At eight months she reported completere solution of bowel symptoms and neurological improvement, now walking long distances unassisted. Two years post-FMT, the patient was asymptomatic.
Conclusion: We report reversal of major neurological symptoms in three patients after FMT for their underlying GI symptoms. As MS can follow a relapsing-remitting course, this unexpected discovery was not reported until considerable time had passed to confirm prolonged remission. It is tempting to speculate that FMT achieved eradication of an occult GI pathogen driving MS symptoms.
Our finding that FMT can reverse MS-like symptoms suggests a GI infection underpinning these disorders. It is hoped that such serendipitous findings may encourage a new direction in neurological research.

Multiple sclerosis
An infectious cause of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been speculated, though the potential for gastrointestinal pathogens to exert neurological effects remotely (as seen with many Clostridium species) has not been considered likely. In 2011, Borody et al.[38] reported three wheelchair-bound patients with MS treated with FMT for constipation. Bowel symptoms resolved following FMT; however, in all cases, there was also a progressive and dramatic improvement in neurological symptoms, with all three patients regaining the ability to walk unassisted. Two of the patients with prior indwelling urinary catheters experienced restoration of urinary function. In one patient of the three, follow-up MRI 15 years after FMT showed a halting of disease progression and ‘no evidence of active disease’.

"I have a case history in Brain Maker of a young man with MS who couldn't walk without two canes and who underwent a series of fecal transplantations in Europe, and came back and walks without any assistance whatsoever. His videotape is linked to the book and is on our site. I use the video of this man walking when I do lectures to physicians. They look at this with their jaws hanging, because again, for you and me, this was never even a consideration in medical school...

In the youtube clip his neurologist Perlmutter provides this summary in the
description section -
Published on Feb 16, 2015Carlos, forty-three, came to see me in June 2014. He needed
a cane to stand and had episodes of feeling as if his legs wouldn’t work and that he
could lose his balance easily. When I asked him about his medical history, he told
me about one morning back in 1998 when he woke up feeling “drunk and dizzy.” When we
went to see a neurologist, an MRI scan of his brain was performed, but the results
came back as normal. Carlos remained unsteady for the next two weeks and then began
to feel better. Two weeks after that, while exercising he felt as if ants were
crawling down his back. His vision blurred and, hoping to find another opinion about
his symptoms, he went to see a naturopath. That’s when he began taking various
nutritional supplements and indeed he felt a little better thereafter.
Three years later he had the sudden onset of “numbness in both legs from the waist
down.” Again he was given a new round of nutritional supplements and after three
more months, he felt somewhat improved. Two years later he had another episode and
this similarly resolved itself with more supplements. In 2010, however, he began
noticing a progressive decline in his balance and, despite various nutritional
supplements, his deterioration continued—rapidly. By 2014, Carlos went through more
tests with a neurologist, including another MRI scan of his brain. And this time,
his results revealed aggressive abnormalities, especially in the deep white matter
of his brain seen in both hemispheres and even in the brainstem. These findings, in
addition to abnormalities noted in an MRI of his cervical spine, a lumbar puncture,
and electrical testing results, all pointed to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
I explained to Carlos that we now understand the role of gut bacteria in modulating
the immune system, and that recent animal research clearly had identified changes in
gut bacteria as possibly playing an important role in this disease. I then offered a
plan of action, telling him that I wanted to start a program of probiotic enemas. He
agreed without hesitation, administering probiotic-filled enemas two to three times
each week. Two weeks later, I received a phone call from him. He indicated that he
was walking more comfortably and had now gone for days without the use of a cane!
One month later we spoke on the phone again. He was continuing his probiotic enemas
three times weekly and felt that he had “stabilized.”
At that point I discussed with him the idea of rebuilding a healthy gut population
through a revolutionary new procedure called fecal microbial transplantation, or
FMT, and he agreed to do so (it’s currently not available in the U.S. for treating
MS). He chose a clinic in England where the procedure is routinely performed on an
array of immune and inflammatory problems. Before he left, I asked Carlos to
carefully chronicle his experience in a journal and report back to me.
One month after Carlos returned from England we again spoke on the phone. He
reported that after his second treatment with fecal transplantation (he received a
total of 10) he noted that his walking was dramatically improved and that it
remained that way. He told me, “I am walking so well that other people don’t know
there is anything wrong.”

Multiple Sclerosis Case Report
The second case was a Multiple Sclerosis patient unable to walk because of his neurological disorder After a series of fecal transplants in Europe, his video clip showed him walking nonchalantly down the hall of his hotel.(2) This certainly got my attention.

Gravel had stopped all his medications and was trying to manage his disease through a strict diet of broiled meat and fish and puréed vegetables. His mother showed him an article from the Times about a man who had been nearly bedridden by ulcerative colitis—a condition related to Crohn’s—and who had largely recovered after a month or so of fecal transplants.
... Just as Gravel began to research the procedure, his wife received a diagnosis of breast cancer. They began daily transplants anyway, and soon he was feeling much better. ...
For years, virtually the only proponent of FMT was Thomas Borody, a gastroenterologist in Sydney, Australia, who, in 1988, after reading Eiseman’s paper, decided to try a fecal transplant on a patient who had contracted an intestinal ailment in Fiji. The patient recovered, and Borody estimates that he has since performed the procedure five thousand times, including, with stool supplied by his father, on his mother, who suffered from crippling constipation. In addition to C. difficile patients, Borody says that he has successfully treated people with autoimmune disorders, including Crohn’s and multiple sclerosis.

Fecal microbiota transplantation broadening its application beyond intestinal disorders
Intestinal dysbiosis is now known to be a complication in a myriad of diseases. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), as a microbiota-target therapy, is arguably very effective for curing Clostridium difficile infection and has good outcomes in other intestinal diseases. New insights have raised an interest in FMT for the management of extra-intestinal disorders associated with gut microbiota. This review shows that it is an exciting time in the burgeoning science of FMT application in previously unexpected areas, including metabolic diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergic disorders, and tumors. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on FMT in metabolic syndrome by infusing microbiota from lean donors or from self-collected feces, with the resultant findings showing that the lean donor feces group displayed increased insulin sensitivity, along with increased levels of butyrate-producing intestinal microbiota. Case reports of FMT have also shown favorable outcomes in Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, myoclonus dystonia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. FMT is a promising approach in the manipulation of the intestinal microbiota and has potential applications in a variety of extra-intestinal conditions associated with intestinal dysbiosis.

A new study comparing intestinal bacteria in healthy volunteers to bacteria found in people with MS shows a stark contrast in the number and type of microbes each group carries.
What Roopali Gandhi, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neurology, and her team found was that people with MS have a microbiome that is decidedly different from that of a healthy person.
MS patients have a much higher concentration of a microbe known as Archaea, whose cell walls and lipids make it a strong immunogenic organism, meaning that it can trigger inflammation. The researchers also noticed that MS patients have lower levels of Butyricimonas, a microbe that has anti-inflammatory properties.
