And they claim to have good results.
Is that something you are aware of ?
Reminds me of this: Pig parasite could help psoriasis
Fred,
Faeces transplants are nothing new. It is already an old trick with a sensible background. Patients with Collitis often have a completely broken down bacteriological content of their intestines.
Already many years ago, doctors with a broader mind, have tried to cure collitis by resetting the bacteria in the intestines in a patient by loading them with a known good set of bacteria of a donor. They had good results.
Only now, years later, this has been finally picked up by current medicine, again with good results.
