Oh, sh*t.
Same here. C-diff 3 times after hospitalization for diverticulitis I thought this therapy was already approved.
This has been done for years.
We all know you prefer all your supplements to be delivered by a big old throbbing suppository.
Interesting.
Not so long ago folks here were berating the practice which was then relegated to youtube ‘how-to’ videos.
It’s been around a long time and has medical validity with one caveat:
The patients must change their ways.
The patients must change their underwear...................

Purpose: Recent evidence implicates the GI microbiota in the progression of neurological diseases such as Parkinsons Disease1, Multiple Sclerosis and Myasthenia Gravis2. We report three patients with MS diagnoses who achieved durable symptom reversal with FMT for constipation.
Methods: Case study observations on three MS cases
Results: Case 1: A 30 yr old male with constipation, vertigo and impaired concentration and a concomitant history of MS and trigeminal neuralgia. Neurological symptoms included severe leg weakness and he required a wheelchair and an indwelling urinary catheter. Previous failed treatments included Mexiletine, Tryptanol and β-interferon. The patient underwent 5 FMT infusions for his constipation, with its complete resolution. Interestingly his MS also progressively improved, regaining the ability to walk and facilitating the removal of his catheter. Initially seen as a ‘remission', the patient remains well 15 yrs post-FMT without relapse.
Case 2: A 29 yr old wheelchair-bound male with ‘atypical MS' diagnosis and severe, chronic constipation. He reported parasthesia and leg muscle weakness. The patient received 10 days of FMT infusions which resolved his constipation. He also noted progressive improvement in neurological symptoms, regaining the ability to walk following slow resolution of leg parasthesia. Three years on the patient maintains normal motor, urinary and GI function.
Case 3: An 80 yr old female presented with severe chronic constipation, proctalgia fugax and severe muscular weakness resulting in difficulty walking, diagnosed as ‘atypical' MS. She received 5 FMT infusions with rapid improvement of constipation and increased energy levels. At eight months she reported complete resolution of bowel symptoms and neurological improvement, now walking long distances unassisted. Two years post-FMT, the patient was asymptomatic.
Conclusion: We report reversal of major neurological symptoms in three patients after FMT for their underlying GI symptoms. As MS can follow a relapsing-remitting course, this unexpected discovery was not reported until considerable time had passed to confirm prolonged remission. It is tempting to speculate that FMT achieved eradication of an occult GI pathogen driving MS symptoms. Our finding that FMT can reverse MS-like symptoms suggests a GI infection underpinning these disorders. It is hoped that such serendipitous findings may encourage a new direction in neurological research.
We’re not counting gay bars....................😜
We all heard that at the paternity hearing when your
dad was exposing yo mama as exactly what she is.
I didn’t know there was a poop bank. Are donors paid? Seems to me there’s an overabundance of poop available, so the price would be zero.
If they really need poop that bad, there are tons of it emanating from the White House. They are giving it away free.
Yeah, mom was a corker. At least she only had 2 nipples, unlike yers.
Bull shit...this has been going on for many years.....
Yeah, but they were on her ass.
Cool carnival career though.
So participating in a Gay Anal Orgy could be beneficial ?
I wonder if this experimental treatment is Fauci approved ?

I remember them from a small town in PA — Emigsville — where my Dad was born and grew-up, as a small boy with my Grandma, shopping at a small corners country store. Very good.
Thanks for the tip.
LOLMAO!
I’ve seen that happen, too!
I remember that. Just took 60 years to become official. However fecal transplants for chrones has been around a while.
we had to treat it with another antibiotic to kill the C.Dificile germ causing it, and then hope that the normal germs would grow back before the C. Dificile did.
Giving normal bacterial flora helps? a blessing.
Yogurt does help in mild cases and will prevent many cases.
But a lot of the cases I treated were diabetics, and they needed prolonged antibiotics to save life or limb. So the good germs in the yogurt would be killed by these antibiotics.
Sigh.
