Fecal transplants
-
Listening to the TedX-Brussels livestream I just found out about this. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57541445/studies-show-fecal-transplants-effectiveness-treating-c-diff-infections/[^] Internal medicine doctors from Sinai Hospital-Johns Hopkins Program turned to a fecal microbiota transplantation, a procedure in which a stool is taken from a healthy person and transplanted into the colon of the infected person. This is NOT how I imagined modern medicine would be like in the 21st century when I grew up. :wtf:
.
Aw heck, that crap's been around before... :^)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If it makes you feel any less gross, identifying which gut microbes actually need replaced to repair the microbiome and culturing them in the lab is a subject of active research.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

(I have not read the article) They probably "clean" the microbiota so that just the "good" things from it will help another.
