Using human waste to cure diseases

Of course, if the poison can be made as medicine why not poop, isn't it? It maybe called advancement of our genes

I want to know who had the bright idea of taking something the body clearly does not need, and reintroducing it into the body... I guess they may have seen rabbits, who practise coprophagy, always leaving their faecal pellets in the same place, only returning some days later to reingest them. In the intervening time, bacteria in the pellets have broken down more of the indigestible plant material into soluble sugars. Clever, if a little off-putting as a practice

I read that 90% of patients have had an improvement with these pills, so why not ? Penicilline was made at first with the rotten green part of oranges and was not looking very appetizing, but it cured millions of people...

How do you find this stuff? I read the article. So now this medical discovery makes the phrase "eat me" make perfect sense. I am a healthy person. So why don't you eat my _______ . My only other question is what else is in there?

I know they do something a bit similar in treating some forms of cancer.

I wouldn't take them. Poop is toxic. It is your body ridding itself of toxins. I would never put toxins into my body. No poop pills for me.

Personally for me, I am sure like many other things if they can figure out and find something like this that works, more power to them. But they would have to prove it is working after it has been out for awhile for me to consider trying something, but I wonder how they would discuise the flavor etc?

Yes, I read it before. Actually they asked people to donate it and the people who donated it can get well paid. It is amazing, isn't it?

This discussion caught my eye because here in my province there was an old practice of toasting the faeces of a person to burnt powder, this was believed to be a cure for post pregnancy fatigue/illness...now I would never ever, not in a million years, not even if I was bribed with a million dollars, would I ever drink that concoction but it really was a practice here before.

I read about similar subject where poop is being recycled to produce energy. Even for cooking food. Gross but true. I also believe people with chronic diseases would be desperate enough to try anything, even poop medicine.

Uh, I will wait until it's truly proven. But if it works and I'm that ill, I suppose I would take anything to get well.

This is from the Mayo Clinic. I have a friend who had this treatment. I wouldn't want to swallow a pill though. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). Also known as a stool transplant, FMT is emerging as an alternative strategy for treating recurrent C. difficile infections. Though not yet approved by the FDA, clinical studies of FMT are currently underway. FMT restores healthy intestinal bacteria by placing another person's (donor's) stool in your colon, using a colonoscope or nasogastric tube. Donors are screened for medical conditions, their blood is tested for infections, and stools are carefully screened for parasites, viruses and other infectious bacteria before being used for FMT. Research has shown FMT has a success rate higher than 90 percent for treating C. difficile infections.

I'll try not to get an infectious disease.

C.difficile infections could be treated with Metronidazole or oral Vancomycin. Why eat poop instead?
