Fecal transplants are not new. They are used to treat C. Diff. infections. In at least one case, a patient became obese after receiving a fecal transplant from an obese donor.

Increasing one particular strain of gut bacteria, the ATCC 6475 strain of Lactobacillus Reuteri, has been shown to restore youthful hormone levels and youthful appearance including radiant hair and skin. If you get a starter sample of ATCC 6475, you can culture it like yogurt and get a cheap reproducible supply. If you make yogurt with it, refer to this article for a different strain of Lactobacillus Reuteri that reproduces 5 times more when it is grown with certain common yogurt cultures (S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus).

For best results, my recommendation is to find a very healthy, attractive person over 40, and ask them for some of their poop, so you can make yogurt.

This is something to watch from a safe distance.

The side effect is the unnatural urge to bark at the moon.

Kind of gives the “eat shit and die” thing a new meaning.

Those used to be called "smart pills" the way they used to tell the story where I come from.

It’s not easy to poop in those little capsules.

No offense I hope, but a person with your handle might seem to be the last person that should post this article.

Now there is a marketing coup.

“Hey Fred. I bet you $100 we can get gullible fat people to pay us to eat shxt by the #10 canful if we just package it right...”

Isw this the Moochelle Diet gone one step too far?

Man! I always knew you could get fat by eating the wrong kind of crap, this is the first I heard where you could get thin eating actual crap, not just food that tastes like crap!

My apologies, but let's face it, crap is the only word that works.

in a bid to tackle the obesity crisis.

Does anyone even suggest fewer calories and more exercise anymore?

eat sh*t and die young - anti-poo league

This is so disgusting. I can’t even.

[Calvin Locke]

... so you can make yogurt.

You first.

There is that theory, or just marketing hype, that little of the "regular" yogurt culture survives through the stomach acid.

Perhaps the researchers use a more durable capsule to get the bacteria to where they want, rather than your somewhat questionable "method".

[jmacusa]

I thought eating crap is what got you fat in the first place.

[Trillian]

Good news, everyone.. It's a suppository.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Eat lean poop. It does a body good.

DANG!

Hitler did something like this.

His Dr. Morel prescribed “Mutaflor, whose active ingredient was live bacteria cultured from the fecal matter of “a Bulgarian peasant of the most vigorous stock.”

“That was the theory, and while it sounded pretty good, in truth it was literally a load of crap, and good German doctors knew it. Not so Dr. Morell -and because he had a financial interest in the company that made Metaflor, he prescribed the pills to virtually all his patients, whether they suffered from digestive complaints of not.”
