What exactly is the 'hold-up' so to speak? If it can help even a few hundred patients, why isn't anyone in the medical profession doing anything to start some serious 'studies' on the procedure? My friend has C. Diff., we're praying it's not the 'serious type', and we're hoping she won't have to get to this stage. </p>jeanie3Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:50:07 -0000http://blog.getbetterhealth.com/fecal-transplants-getting-to-the-bottom-of-the-matter/2008.11.25#comment-6291822<p>this is a whole lot of crap!!</p>bongiTue, 02 Dec 2008 11:11:38 -0000http://blog.getbetterhealth.com/fecal-transplants-getting-to-the-bottom-of-the-matter/2008.11.25#comment-6291825<p>Once again we discuss the subtle but major difference between theoretical applied medical science and evidence based practice.<br>It may sound good.. and even look good.

Hey, why not?</p>PortiaTue, 25 Nov 2008 21:37:53 -0000http://blog.getbetterhealth.com/fecal-transplants-getting-to-the-bottom-of-the-matter/2008.11.25#comment-6291823<p>Doesn't it make more sense to work on studying the population of flora in the "healthy" intestine, then create the probiotic supplement (or suppository,or whatever works best) that contains the strains present?</p><p>There's no way I would accept a treatment that carries similar risk to fecal transplant.</p>marilynTue, 25 Nov 2008 14:09:05 -0000
