How badly do you want to loose weight? For those who do not want to exercise or change your diet it may be possible to ingest a slim person’s poop and recolonize your digestive tract.
The theory is simply transplanting a slim person poop in to an obese person’s digestive system. Scientists are preparing to test if microbes taken from a lean person’s system can help an obese person lose weight – and they will do this by getting 20 obese volunteers to take a pill packed with freeze-dried poop.
These treatments actually began three years ago for serious gut infections rather than fecal transplants. Doctors have increasingly turned to a procedure called “fecal microbiotia transplantation” (FMT), which delivers fresh fecal material to the gut helping restore the normal balance of beneficial microbes.
These fecal transplants are about 90 percent successful, but they typically require invasive and uncomfortable colonoscopies or nasogastric tubes, which run from the nose down to the stomach. “Just getting the tube down is a problem,” says Elizabeth Hohmann MD of Massachusetts General Hospital. And what if people gag and vomit? Would they inhale fecal matter? “That’s pretty scary,” she adds.
I remember asking my audience if they were a sinker or a floater? The idea was to open up the discussion on the amount of poop we expel and how many times a day would indicate a healthy system.
I have always been interested in the different body types versus their diets. Now accepted body typing is done by medical personnel using one’s feces to determine their specific fecal type. Formulation begins by using another’s fecal-matter which contains microbes from poorly digested food debris, missing nutrients – freeze drying and capsulizing!
