Donors Needed: Give the ultimate gift of health!

Our partners at the University of Minnesota Microbiota Therapeutics program are looking for donors!

Becoming a donor for a microbiota transplant helps restore dysfunctional microbiome to a healthy composition of gut microbes and has a 98% treatment success rate in patients suffering from c. difficile. The University of Minnesota’s Program is the only academic program manufacturing microbiota therapeutics and provides these capsules to clinical trials nationwide including current trials targeting Autism, Ulcerative Colitis, Liver Disease, and Parkinson’s Disease.

In order to be eligible to donate,you must be in perfect health, with no major health conditions, severe allergies, or prescription medications (with some exclusions such as birth control), and have not taken any antibiotics within the last 6 months.

Donors are paid for all study visits and donations. Additionally, the team has redesigned the program to allow donors to collect their sample at home and have a team member come pick it up in a low contact transaction. If you believe you or someone you know is eligible to donate, reach out to us at info@achievingcures.com!

Heading

This is some text inside of a div block.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
