[DIYbio] Re: Designer Probiotics. Anyone interested in this?

or maybe I want to do this so i can help my little brother, mory, who
is predisposed to obesity and diabetes, both of which he and his
mother already have. he hardly eats (eats less than anyone in the
family but gains more weight than most). i want to help people like
mory and that's what i'm going to try to do. and yes i do know about
the starving children in africa and around the world; i was once a
starving child without parents or a permanent home in africa some 18
years ago. i thank god for where I am today. needless to say to me,
but you have valid points and I hope you are doing whatever's within
your means to help these starving kids you took the time to make a
point about. SN: never judge what you don't understand, instead ask
and listen.

in any case, i'm at work now but I will send links to a few relevant
papers on probiotics for management of obesity/metabolic syndrome and
hopefully someone will be interested and join in on the project.
