Parkinson's and FMT, and alopecia

A week ago, I saw a comment about the importance of Vit B’s in treating/living with Parkinson’s.

Here is some potentially useful info?

Can a f[i]cal transplant help treat Parkinsons?

This is a medical journal. and has a forbidden word in the title and in the URL.
Replace the [i] with e.

{ Some evidence suggests that a bacterial imbalance in the gut may trigger Parkinson’s. A f[i]cal transplant may help restore balance and treat the condition. }

FMT has been used to successfully ‘cure’ Cdiff (Clostridium dificile), as well as some other gut related issues.

And, perhaps can be used to treat hair loss (alopecia)?
Hair Growth in Two Alopecia Patients after F[i]cal Microbiota Transplant - PMC

{ Abstract

Clostridium difficile infections can be life-threatening but are increasingly being treated successfully with f[i]cal microbiota transplantation (FMT). We report two patients with alopecia universalis who developed subsequent hair regrowth after FMT for treatment of recurrent C. difficile infections. Gut microbiota may have immunomodulatory effects in autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata, and further study may elucidate disease mechanisms and lead to alternative treatment options for these patients for whom treatment options are currently limited. }
