Self donations.

When my daughter had her children she paid to have the blood from the umbilical cords put into a bank.
The stem cells can cure disease in them in the future.
I wonder why there's no bank that someone who is undergoing antibiotic treatment can use to store their pre antibiotic flora!
If any of you make $billions out of the idea I want a cut:-)

I've thought about that myself. You can store your own blood here in the U.S. before having surgery. I have not heard of the stem cells, but that is a good thing too. Maybe one of these days...

This program already exists with openbiome: http://www.openbiome.org/personalbiome

Problem is recent data is showing that autologous FMT's are less superior and than donor FMT: http://www.healio.com/infectious-diseas ... -difficile
