"Fecal bacteriotherapy, also known as fecal transfusion, fecal transplant, or human probiotic infusion (HPI), is a medical treatment for patients with pseudomembranous colitis (caused by Clostridium difficile), ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome which involves restoration of colon homeostasis by reintroducing normal bacterial flora from stool obtained from a healthy donor."

I'm really not sure what to add here. basically if people lose their shit other people can help them by giving them shit.

And no that's not me shitting you.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=345&Focus=8864#Comment_8864 2007-12-19T10:31:23-08:00 2013-06-18T15:04:57-07:00 alwayscrashing http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=162

At least it's in enema form... They could have just handed patients a shit smoothie and a straw.

It makes a certain kind of sense to me: I have ulcerative colitis and once while taking antibiotics the ecology of my gut was thrown off: all of the bacteria the antibiotics were fighting included ...

I found that link on a scientist's blog, she describes how this treatment is based on an older form practised by doctors without official approval which involved giving patients the shit orally in chocolate milk.

If I'm ever in hospital I think I'll pass on the chocolate milk.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=345&Focus=8904#Comment_8904 2007-12-19T16:14:16-08:00 2013-06-18T15:04:57-07:00 Kosmopolit http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1346

I can't find the link at the moment but there was a sort of similar story about an immunologist who suffered from extreme asthma. Asthma is caused by an over-active immune system, some internal ...

Asthma is caused by an over-active immune system, some internal parasites are known to suppress the immune system so their hosts don't kill them.

Long story short he went to west Africa where a relatively benign parasite known as hook-worm is endemic (and asthma and a number of other immune disorders are virtually unknown) and walked around in bare feet near a bunch of leaking toilets.

Result: no more asthma.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=345&Focus=8905#Comment_8905 2007-12-19T16:18:42-08:00 2013-06-18T15:04:57-07:00 alwayscrashing http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=162

So the cure for asthma is walking in poo and having worms? I can't see that catching on... But I've never seen a dog with an inhaler, so I'll believe it.

I still feel bad about having totally ruined the "Things Which Should Not Exist" thread so I'm refraining from making an awful 2girls1cup joke here.

Benjamin, you may be right but the net result as far as auto-immune diseases go is the same.

Sorry, but for me, NOTHING in medicine is more vile and cruel than a tube through your urethra. I'll receive a shit transplant over that, easily.
