Thread: Poop Transplant

It could save YOUR life. Okay probably won't be taken too seriously by anyone but it seems to be real and a lifesaver for some people.

Gross-Sounding Poop Transplant Saves Life of Arizona Man

In fecal transplant therapy—also known as fecal bacteriotherapy—doctors take the poop of one person and stick it up the butt of another person. It's not for everyone! But it seems to be life-saving for people who suffer from Clostridium difficle, a disease you definitely don't want to get.

"When you're bleeding rectally for weeks on end, you have no choice but to think you're dying," says 33-year-old Jerry Grant, an upbeat-seeming Arizona man who recently shared with his local NBC affiliate the details of his personal poop switch saga. His symptoms, which—eh, let's just leave it at that—were so severe that Grant says he would have eaten poop just to repair himself. Luckily it didn't come to that. Mrs. Grant gave up a stool sample so that her husband didn't have to accept poop from a stranger, or go on the fecal black market.

Approximately 500,000 people are afflicted with this disease every year, so keep in mind that you could be next. Meantime, we're happy to hear that Grant is recuperating from all of his, erm, symptoms. Now go have that nutritious breakfast.

There's a clip at the link to the above story.



Here is a lighter take on the fecal transplant but it has some interesting info on this too.

^ dear god. There is *no way* I am clicking on that video link...

There are no pics. Seems like it might have started in Australia as they say in the clip it's been going on over there for some time.

We've got blood transplants and body part transplants. We transplant eggs and use other's sperm to fertilize eggs. Who knows what's next after this. Could be a pee, male to male sperm transplant or maybe a female to female vaginal lube transplant of some sort. If things like transplanting poop can do wonders there are a lot of possibilities.

I wonder if poo from a person with a high immune system injected into a person with a low immune system would improve the sickly person's ability to fight off disease.

Give me your address and I'll send you one of mine to try

Pap nueng....I think I have Dirty Dog's address here somewhere.....

Your poop might just be valuable to someone. The world of poop is endless it seems.

Transplants can and do go wrong.

This little guy wanted a hair transplant.

hmm. No shit. Learn something new ever day:
Stool transplant
Fecal bacteriotherapy, known in colloquial terms as stool transplant, a procedure related to probiotic research, has preliminarily been shown to cure the disease. It involves infusion of bacterial flora acquired from the feces of a healthy donor to reverse the bacterial imbalance responsible for the recurring nature of the infection. In fecal transplantation, donor stool is collected from a close relative who has been tested for a wide array of bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens. The stool is often mixed with saline or milk to achieve the desired consistency, then delivered through a colonoscope or retention enema, or through a nasogastric or nasoduodenal tube. The procedure replaces normal, healthy colonic flora that had been wiped out by antibiotics, and reestablishes the patient's resistance to colonization by Clostridium difficile. However, there is often patient resistance due to the perceived unpleasantness of the procedure that must be overcome first before proceeding with this often-effective treatment.
There are currently over 150 published reports dating back to 1958, though many more have been performed. It has a success rate of about 90%.[41][42][43] A guide was released in 2010 for home fecal transplantation.[44]

Is this a medical procedure or Japanese porn?

I know, I know. But actually, it really is kinda cool. This gives 90% cure of a previously quite difficult to treat disease. Ain't science wonderful..

I would think, as I said in the earlier post, that it could transfer good bacteria to a person that is lacking.

You are right. People who have had their own intestinal flora knocked out (usually by antibiotics) get colonized by a "bad" bacteria. This is a quick (and apparently sucessful) way to kick start the recolonization of "good" intestinal flora. It is cool shit. (sorry).

I just showed this to my missus and told her I needed a sample for a transplant and she literally ran away!!

There are more palatable ways to achieve this than by pushing shit uphill with the proverbial pointed stick, aka a 'stool transplant'.

Hitler and zee Germans read the manual wrong - it wasn't shit on the world...

Will smelling someone else's farts have any beneficial effects ?
I could become a qualified doctor immediately.
