Pills made from poop cure serious gut infections

[can-do-man]

Hey Mike S. No more need for "fecal transplants"

Hold your nose and don't spit out your coffee: Doctors have found a way to put healthy people's poop into pills that can cure serious gut infections — a less yucky way to do "fecal transplants." Canadian researchers tried this on 27 patients and cured them all after strong antibiotics failed to help.

Can-do, my first reaction was gross! Then I thought about it.
I agree, when I was sick with HCV I would have done anything to help myself.
I have heard of this, not sure where.

Do they have a pill for HCV $hit after relapse?  Hell I would take it..just add some salt to bring out the flavor!  LOL

" Our poor dog he must not ever feel well......he loves that $hit!"

Either that or he's now healthier then we are....:)

Thanks, it is good to see this.  Even in my local paper there was a story of a woman who had been cured with a "transplant.  : )

I've suggested it to a few people since Mike posted the article...... maybe a few years ago, I think some folks coming off TX may have their gut flora impacted by TX.

This sounds more palatable. ; )

Somewhat off to the side, but still perhaps on topic,
is that some feel that this could be the purpose of the appendix; it is a little dead end repository for gut flora, you know like starter culture if something wiped out the rest of the gut population.

I was really afraid to open this!  LOL  I guess what goes in has to come out and then back in again.

Whatever works...
