Ain't science great?

Why would you want someone else's poo up your bum??

It seems to be very effective at beating C. Diff , rather better than antibiotics.

Essentially it's weapons grade Yakult

So do you have to swallow it or is it inserted?

**Dalesman** · 27-02-13, 14:56

Depends Jen,

Very risky if the patient's terminal poo horizon is unknown.

Very true Trim, very true.

Despite the icky factor, the fact (FACT!) that it works by creating wellness rather than treating illness seems a move in the right direction, given that so many bugs are developing resistance to so many antibiotics.

Not sure how the drug companies will make money out of it though, so I'm sure it will turn out to be a flash in the pan.
