In Search Of A Healthy Gut, One Man Turned To An Extreme DIY Fecal Transplant (theverge.com)
Josiah Zayner writes: Arielle Duhaime-Ross at The Verge followed Dr. Josiah Zayner, a former Scientist at NASA turned BioHacker, as he attempted the first ever full-body microbiome transplant. She writes "Over the course of the next four days, Zayner would attempt to eradicate the trillions of microbes that lived on and inside his body -- organisms that helped him digest food, produce vitamins and enzymes, and protected his body from other, more dangerous bacteria. Ruthlessly and methodically, he would try to render himself into a biological blank slate. Then, he would inoculate himself with a friend's microbes -- a procedure he refers to as a 'microbiome transplant.'".
there, a poop joke
To be fair, it never actually worked. Not for me.
I had a doctor tell me to eat a lot of yogurt once, in order to replenish bacteria after having an antibiotic treatment.
That doctor is clearly in the pocket of Big Yogurt and cannot be trusted.
