Stool Transplant - NOT for Griss!
http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html
"What was an edgy, unconventional treatment of a severe diarrhea when News of the Weird mentioned it in 2000 is now catching on as a remedy for the potentially deadly C. difficile bacteria infection, according to a November report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. "Good" bacteria in the stomach are often depleted by the antibiotics that work on (but may not remove entirely) C. difficile, leaving the patient with violent or chronic diarrhea. Some doctors now recommend controlling C. difficile by re-establishing the patient's "good" bacteria via a stool transplant from a close blood relative, who should have similar intestinal conditions. The donated stool (providing that a loving, straight-faced relative is found) is mixed with saline and administered by enema. [CBC News, 11-13-07]"

Holy s***, that crap's amazing! It was probably hard for them to get that story out - no doubt they felt a lot of resistance. I'm glad they kept pushing it - they must have been relieved when it finally broke through. They were certainly the butt of a load of jokes, but I have to admit, that story really moved up my list of important events for the year and I'm sure it can move up yours - and they were so loose with the information(lesser people might have tried to hold it in), this has surely impacted the world! In the bowels of your soul, you know that as this knowledge spreads, and they prune out the details, there's always going to be someone who can get his finger on your problem and rectify your ills.
These people are the royalty of medical research - somebody should buy them a throne!

Can you imagine the university institutional review committee meeting where this piece of medical research was first proposed?
