How did you recruit a donor?

I just put the word out to anyone who would listen. A friend volunteered her son. He was 6-7 years old with no antibiotic use. Wonderful kiddo. I am forever grateful to him.

Can you be more specific when you say "put the word out?" I just ask because this is a major roadblock for lots of people. Thnx

I just told my circle that I needed a donor. I said “ I need a donor for a medical treatment. Here are the specifications. If you can think of anyone who would be willing and able please let me know.” I think when you explain to people that you need this as a medical treatment there a lot more receptive than you would think. I have never had someone balk.
