The US Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert on Thursday over the use of fecal transplants after one recipient died.
The investigational treatment has not been approved by the FDA. Known as fecal microbiota for transplantation, it has been used to treat cases of Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, that haven't responded to traditional antibiotic treatments. C. diff is a bacterium that causes diarrhea and inflammation of the colon. One man's poop is another's medicineFecal transplant utilizes the stool of a healthy person to transfer good bacteria into the intestines of an infected person.
The FDA will now require that all stool samples used in transplants be tested for drug-resistant microorganisms. All donors will also need to be screened for potential drug-resistant infections.Read MoreAccording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,"antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health challenges of our time." The CDC estimates that at least 2 million Americans develop drug-resistant bacterial infections every year, and at least 23,000 die.
FDA talks shit even when it talks shit. FDA touts its importance to fecal transfer research even though it is warning about the potentially lethal impact of fecal transfer, which the FDA has not approved. The lead is buried way deep in the shit.
Fecal Shit Transplant?
So who gets to ask for donors?
Eewwwwwww. No thanks. Just give up the gmo and you’ll get better quick. Worked for me a few weeks after I went totally organic.
Cant they just make some synthetic poo?! Who the hell thought transplanting poop was a good idea? And who the hell would agree to such a procedure. I mean, it honestly seems like some kind of fetish. Disgusting.
