This has been touted for 30 years in some circles, question is, why can't their bacteria be cultured so this can be released into the general population? they talk over and over about how certain types of micro bacteria that affect diabetes and other conditions positively are on the verge of extinction, why then not preserve bacteria?

From memory they aren't that hard to culture.

Seems they could easily prevent extinction and test it on broader populations but alas, I might be digressing,

Ah well.
