Oral, Capsulized, Frozen Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Relapsing Clostridium difficile Infection

Results: No serious adverse events attributed to FMT were observed. Resolution of diarrhea was achieved in 14 patients (70%; 95% CI, 47%-85%) after a single capsule-based FMT. All 6 nonresponders were re-treated; 4 had resolution of diarrhea, resulting in an overall 90% (95% CI, 68%-98%) rate of clinical resolution of diarrhea (18/20). Daily number of bowel movements decreased from a median of 5 (interquartile range [IQR], 3-6) the day prior to administration to 2 (IQR, 1-3) at day 3 (P = .001) and 1 (IQR, 1-2) at 8 weeks (P < .001). Self-ranked health scores improved significantly on a scale of 1 to 10 from a median of 5 (IQR, 5-7) for overall health and 4.5 (IQR, 3-7) for gastrointestinal-specific health on the day prior to FMT to 8 (IQR, 7-9) after FMT administration for both overall and gastrointestinal health (P = .001). Patients needing a second treatment to obtain resolution of diarrhea had lower pretreatment health scores (median, 6.5 [IQR, 5-7.3] vs 5 [IQR, 2.8-5]; P = .02).

It's pretty common these days. People with Cdiff are lacking good bacteria in their intestines. They can give it to the patients in pill form our through a tube.

Yep, our medical system today creates the problem. Think of the human body like a rainforest. Now poor agent orange on that rainforest and watch everything die and become a dirt caked desert. Chemo and lots of nasty antibiotics does this. And our hospitals have bread a few really nasty resistant strains of this stuff that really takes out old people with poor immune systems already.

Most people with healthy diets and not extreme antibiotic use have enough other nasty critters to keep all the nasty critters in balance and enough good bunny critters to keep the wolf critters occupied instead of attacking the host (trees).

So the poop pills are like the dirt and soil and undergunk that keeps the trees in the rainforest nourished and healthy. Cause like it does a lot to decompose the stuff that would otherwise overwhelm the trees and stuff.

To much poop though from too many places and from the wrong kinds of rainforests or from already sick rainforests is a bad thing though. Only Pandoran Avatar grade poop is really good for restoring balance to the universe.
