Faecal transplants
« on: June 30, 2018, 11:17:13 AM »
I happened to chance on some YouTube submissions giving instructions on how to perform faecal transplants with "experts" giving detailed instructions. There were a large numbers of enthusiastic responses.

I was struck by the thought that the respondents may be the same people who praise the videos purporting to show that Nabiro is heralding the end of the world  by submerging it with gravity waves.

Or, maybe, they are anti-vaxxers.

Whatever.

A well-qualified lady being interviewed by Jim Al-Khalili (BBC4,  The Life Scientific, 5 June) says "Don't try this at home."

Incredible, I had never come across faecal transplants before.

Does seem incredible, I think I read something about it a while back but forgot.
You show me yours and I'll show you mine, ha ha.
Don't think I'll bother.

The pic of the microbiome looks as though it belows in the Tate Modern.

Is it better to apply for a public stool or a private stool?
