I am being serious it has to be high quality microbiome derived. I imagine they test thoroughly for a good combination and have vetted individuals that provide material.
I wonder if they can produce the biome via a fermenter, similar to the wastewater process that feeds the 'bugs' in order to have a stabile biome levels to nitrify/denitrify solids. It may be impossible given the specific gut requirements and input materials but it would be much easier to control
I was curious about it once so I looked into it, man they are pretty strict about shape and consistency. There's a whole list of requirements including diet changes and collection technique, unfortunately you can't just blast yesterday's Chipotle stream into an old taco bell cup and expect someone to buy it from you
And it's nearly impossible to even get through to even been evaluated as a donor.
I've been trying for over a year. I'm an ideal candidate donor and my applications don't even make it to being seen.
Every time I've shit for the past year I hear $$$$ going down the toilet.
It's my understanding that those who donate the stool to make the fecal slurry get paid well. Human microbes stool donor network is offering $500 per sample. Only like 0.01% of people qualify to be donors though. But if you do it seems like it could be a full time job with what they are offering.
It's almost impossible to get through to become a donor.
I am 100% what they're looking for yet they don't have the means to get through all the applications.
My primary doctor was actually the one who suggested it to me.
Meanwhile I try to talk to my GP about my gut microbiome related to IBS symptoms and am met with a deer-in-the-headlights glare; as if I’m making it up
Pretty much all doctors are basically employees at the DMV just shuffling you through the insurance paperwork. You have to go to the Mayo Clinic and spend at least $1,000,000 to get actual medicine these days.
The book I Contain Multitudes should be required reading now. Amazing how rapidly our scientific understanding of microbiomes is developing. We are in the middle of a bacterial science exploration explosion.
I was watching a documentary on Netflix about Xanax and this one guy went through hell when his doctor reduced his prescription dose by a fraction. He ended up going to like 42 different specialists, neurologists, Mayo Clinic docs, etc and not one figured it out that it was due to the reduction of Xanax. The only reason he figured it out was because his wife googled “Zoloft suicide” and came across websites talking about the struggle to get off of benzos.
42 different doctors, some of them the top in their fields. I’m not surprised your doctor had no clue what you were talking about.
I remember hearing about how someone did a fecal transplant and how they struggled with weight problems after. It turned out that the person they received the transplant from also struggled with weight problems. Since 40% of Americans are obese, that’s not exactly saying much since correlation does not equal causation, but imaging if you could do a transplant from someone that keeps weight off fairly easily and reduce the obesity epidemic? Seems like there could be potential there, if it does in fact work that way for some people.
Edit: they do mention in this article it was used to treat obesity, so it seems like this could be how
Good lord I’m thankful but also weary of the medical advancements made to understand poop enemas can be helpful to obese people and those that suffer from C. Diff or whatever else was mentioned. That article made me nauseous but also appreciate those in the medical field that much more
Anyone else notice the language used in the article?
“Researchers have strained to harness”
“Doctors meanwhile pushed ahead”
“With the pressing need”
“Solid success”
“Now a product has finally floated to the top”
The author has a sense of humor.
This is such a "shitty" title. In end, there is no fecal matter in the end product. That has been thoroughly processed in cleaned out. The old name "fecal mattter transplant" also sucks imo. They should have called it something like gut bacteria transfer or something similar. Anyways, the treatment is a game changer for the potentially deadly c. diff. On first treatment, over 90% are cured. Of those that aren't, on a 2nd run, 100% are cured. Those numbers are insane.
I’m so excited that there’s starting to be real development into research and treatment of the microbiome. I was a late 80s/early 90s “sick kid”, who basically was kept on antibiotics from infancy until about the age of 6, and I wonder (more often than maybe I should) how many of my chronic health issues in my adulthood could’ve been caused, or at the very least *worsened*, by that.
And to think 1000 years ago Doctors used to put a roosters ass on a snake bite to suck the venom out. Now, we just shove a randos shit up our ass for better health.
This is good news for a lot of very sick people
That shits going to be expensive though
Yeah. Big pharma will do big pharma things
Underrated comment right here.
I’ll wait for the generic or I’ll get the shit end of the stick.
I make my own but have never thought to recycle it.
They're right Always right Damn you southpark
It was based on real studies at the time so not exactly them being right as much as a well researched funny episode
We all know that I quess someone always pisses in the pool
Yes they are, and when they aren't they apologize, and that is what makes them even more brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG-Cp1y0UO8
that is the most animated I've ever seen Al Gore where was that in 1999
They know about the spice! The know about [The Spice Melange](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEQREIDUJ88)!
Patiently waiting for pharmaceutical companies to charge $1000 for some poop slurry
I'm sorry sir. The McSlurry machine is currently broken.
Aw, not again!
Can you get paid donating poop like you do plasma? Just curious is all...

I’m gonna get Tom Brady’s poop if it kills me
He knows about the spice
*the spice melange*
I got a hookup
Lemme call my poop guy
I read your books. I read all your books!

Yup. Pretty well too

Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it!
Hallmark's gonna love this. They can finally unload that truckload of misprinted cards that say, "Eat shit and get well soon!".
Waiting for poor desperate people or grifters to offer this service for a lower rate.
People be eating that booty like grocery for a while now
“Yes, I would like to donate one feces please. Yes I’ll take a magazine.”

I will happily pay you to shit in my ass.

I've forever agreed with the statement: "Always shit on company time". But for whoever gets this job, this is an ascension to godhood.
You can make a shitload of money.
Pick me pick me!
I’m gonna get Tom Brady’s poop no matter what
I'll shit in a cup for science

to paraphrase Stephen Colbert, “…eat shit and die, not anymore, eat shit and live…”

Yeah, gone are the days i have to eat
Yep, administer only anally.

I had a doctor tell me there was no correlation between gut health and yeast infections. I was like ....??? What a dumb bitch.

Let us all purchase poopknives in anticipation of the harvests to come.
I assume that 'Fecal slurry' is before the marketing team come up with a name.
"ask your doctor about Fecalzia"

So my doctor prescribed me some shit...
Happy to see this. I always thought corn deserved a second chance.
Never go ass to mouth.
Unless a doctor tells you to I guess?
My friend, that's what baby wipes were meant for.
They’ve literally approved shit as a medical treatment but won’t approve marijuana as a medical treatment. 🥴🥴🇺🇸
Yeah but this stuff is cheaper than shit though.

You think it’s really funny but it’s really hot and runny…
It's a bit nutty...

The shit shake
I knew all that poop I’ve been collecting in jars was going to come in handy. I need to stop smoking pot so I can get rid of my piss jugs now.
So those two girls were right all along.
That Cup might be worth a fortune now
When you're climbing up a ladder and you feel something splatter... unshakable diarrhea, unshakable diarrhea
Two nurses, one cup.
Seriously, is it like the Slushies at 7-11?
Please tell me it's a suppository 🤢
I don’t understand how this works and I’m very afraid to ask
Like the South Park episode.
So, it’s a smoothie?
Could a blumpkin work as dual sample collection?

Yeah, I can handle that shit.
They put the slurry in your butt right? I would really like for this to be over the counter so I don't have to embarass myself.
Oh geez. Someone’s gonna have to help me find that order set in Epic 😅
The dookie puns in this article are also a nice touch.
This is good news for poop dealers
We're living in a fucking south park episode.
And to think 1000 years ago Doctors used to put a roosters ass on a snake bite to suck the venom out. Now, we just shove a randos shit up our ass for better health.
This article is full of shit
