Fecal material certainly didn’t kill my cancer.

I think the idea was a massive infection might open the cancer up to attack. Intestinal flora would guarantee a whopper of an infection, but this showed that the numerous strains of bacteria were not recognized by the immune system when in the brain.
This halfway makes sense. For example, E. coli is often the dominant bacteria in the lower bowels, but anywhere else in the body can make you very sick. With the 300-1000 different kinds of bacteria found in the flora, there is going to be one heck of an infection.
