In a surprise twist, three doctors from Duluth, Minnesota decided to use poop to help cure their patients. Doctors Johannes Aas[1], Charles E. Gessert, and Johan S. Bakken used a stool transplants to cure reoccurring Clostridium difficile Colitis in 16 of their patients. You read correctly. Sick patients received stool from stool donors and became healthy because of the stool transplants.

Worse than getting poop injected down your nose is the part about the blender. That must smell nice.

Is anyone else reminded of Me and You and Everyone We Know, or was I the only person who saw that movie?

Good lord! Looking at the link, I was sure this was some Onion-like joke. But sure enough, search for the doctors’ names on Google and you’ll find academic references to their award-winning research paper. The only thing worse than the treatment would probably be having the lethal diarrhea they are trying to cure.

“You poop into my butthole and then I poop into yours…Back and forth…forever.” That kid was the best thing about that movie.

What, Max?! No – EW!
It’s the emoticon that goes with the quote that Molly P. posted. And yes, that kid was awesome.
Ew, Max.

I don’t really think it’s funny or that gross. Definitely interesting. I used to work at a bacteriology lab and it makes perfect sense. I think that job made me immune to a lot of stuff involving feces and internal organs though. And if you’ve never known anyone with a Clostridium infection, it is really nasty and scary. If I had that much blood in my stool I’d sign up for the transplant in a heartbeat.

Wasn’t the phrase once “no li tangere” in reference to the heart in medical science? You’d think that, you know, because it’s excrement, the same principle would apply – no questions asked.
These are some stalwart, innovative docs – to say nothing of their intrigue in a Freudian sense.

Hee hee! Back and forth forever. Oh, I loved that movie.

For the record, this seems like a very promising thread that never took off – considering the content and 3 (count ‘em 3!) trackbacks…

Husband has C. dif, so I am doing research. His Doctor suggested “a poop transplant”. Thought he might be joking. Willing to try anything as C. dif is just horrible!
