What a wonderfully simple and natural treatment. Poop it forward!
hhhh poop it forward! i like that!
The best thing about fecal transplants is that you can do it yourself at home. -- LOL. Pop it forward.
$40 per day, 7 poops a week = $280 a week, $14,560 a year. Id rather be paid to poop then paid for customer service or fast food. Where do I sign up?
The study needs people who eat well, have a "happy life"...are not clinically depressed, have any type of allergies, and do this for 'patient health'... not for money. If you eat McDonald's foods, you are NOT a candidate...no offense.
That is NOT true! LoL -- It's a simple test. Even they know the money helps draw donors, or else they wouldn't offer it as an incentive.
If you eat in mcdonadls, are fat, have diabetes or you are over 25 and not fit, your shit will still be shit and not a cure for anyone.
This is fantastic.. who knew? Vladimir Poootin was my favorite
That was my favorite too. LOL
Albus Dumpledore was my fav. I came up with Sec. Of State Colon Bowel while I was there... I made it on the list.
Trace Dominguez if you mean your were an actual donor- THANKS for helping or saving someone's life! :)

Poootin lol very funny
My cousin has this, and she is in the hospital, they say this is the worst case they have ever seen, she has to be transferred to john Hopkins hospital, to have the fecal transplant, at this point they are waiting for a bed for her. her potassium is very low and a lot of blood and at times clots in her stool, her mouth inside has become green, with yeast infection in her mouth and her skin is peeling off her lips! she is very weak! Our family is so worried about her, we live in Ohio, and she is in Maryland. She lives alone as well, and its going to be some time before she gets out after this, and is transferred back the the Cumberland hospital for rehab. thank you for your video, I have never herd of such a thing! well done to those who have made this possible
Most cases are very bad because it's so hard to identify the problem, even for experienced doctors.
wow, please keep us informed on that case, is her getting better? If such an extreme case can be cured by this method, then I would say that it can cure anything! I never heard of this before
diane lee wow I'm so sorry 😔to hear that. Hope all works out for her. God bless her😞🙏🏻
diane lee I found this comment of yours one year later. How did your cousin do with the fecal transplant?
If it's C diff the cure rate has been labeled as "miraculous", with a 95-98% cure rate. I've heard some doctors say 100%. And doctors can only legally use FMT in the worst of cases, I believe after three rounds of antibiotics haven't worked. From what I have read after only one transplant you health improves a significant amount the by the next day.
Wow. This is fascinating.
Right? Pretty cool!
Seeker Stories That is some awesome shit.
It is very faSHITnating...
Fecisnating
I wonder if the patient's residual symptoms/problems were from taking an antibiotic in the ciprofloxacin family of drugs?
Patients who have been "floxed" often take many months or even years to recover, and some damage is permanent. The FDA has recently held hearings (Oct.2015) and added additional Black Box warnings to some of the antibiotics. Estimates are that every year between 3k to 30k patients actually die from the side effects of those antibiotics. Though deaths used to be attributed to other causes it has been determined that the antibiotic can be deadly, and after years of misdiagnosis and unrelenting pain and suffering, even responsible for many suicides.
Now that the FDA is finally admitting that the antibiotics are responsible for serious health issues patients are finally being taken seriously and getting help from the informed medical care providers. The bad news is that many in the medical filed are still unaware of the dangers these antibiotics pose for many patients.
Julie
fuck! I was given ciproflaxin for about 6 bloody months, for kidney infections that _I didn't even bloody need!_ , doctors (some of them) are vile and need to be horse-whipped for over prescribing everything from antibiotix, and benzos,oxys, etc.
it's reprehensible.
thank goodness for forward thinking doctors like on here.
out of interest,how long does it take for one to recover from cipro?
they're talking about dosing me again with it for a chest infection.I understand it's in the chemotherapeutic family of medicines, but I don't know much else.cheers.
Antbiotics ending in -floxacin are in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. They are broad spectrum and wreak havoc on the gut microbiome. We recommend anyone taking antibiotics to drink kefir and to take a high quality multi-probiotic.
@@sprokiemeisie981 While antibiotic-associated diarrhea usually resolves by itself, it can sometimes worsen and become C diff. Your gut microbiome ever really "recovers" from broad spectrum antibiotics because its composition changes drastically after antibiotic use. It is important to be proactive and to take probiotics alongside antibiotics.
I am a 42 year old female who was diagnosed with Crohns Disease at the age of 17. I underwent a total colrctomy because my entire colon was severely eaten up with crohns. I underwent this surgery because I continued bleeding from my rectum and although I was on lots of meds,they all failed to put my Crohns into complete remission,so surgery was my final option. Had I not chosen to undergo surgery,I would be been dead so my surgery was a life and death situation. I'd have bled to death. Overall before I underwent this surgery,I had received 4 pints of blood to help raise my hemoglobin levels. My surgeon told my mom after my 1st surgery that my colon was so severely diseased that it literally fell apart in his hands. He asked my mom and dad how I'd become so sick and so quickly too. My surgeon then went on to say that during his 30 PLUS YEARS as a colon and rectal surgeon,he'd never seen a colon so severely diseased as mine was. Had I waited a week longer, I'd have been 6 feet under because my colon was on the verge of perforating,which would be made me severely I'll and I'd been fighting for my life. 3 days after my 18th birthday,I underwent this surgery. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present than that because I felt like I was given my life back. Since my colon was removed, I had to adapt to a new way of using the bathroom which was by a stoma,which is made from your terminal ileum and the fecal contents were detoured through that and all of the stool was diverted through and empties into the pouch,then open the end of the pouch with the stool into the commode,like someone who uses the restroom the normal way. They call it an ileostomy. Has anyone ever heard of crohns Disease and ulcerative Colitis? They're collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Ulcerative Colitis disease and is confined to the colon ; however, Crohns affects anywhere along the GI tract and there is currently no cure. I'd like to know if it's possible to use a fecal transplahent on an ileostomy patient who suffers with Crohns Disease? Have any clinical trials been done to see if doing a fecal transplant on an ileostomy Crohns Disease patient would help bring such patient into remission without traditional medical therapies. I'd like to apologize to everyone for getting carried away on my comment.
Thank you for sharing, Carla ❤ I wish I had answers to your questions.
Oh no worries 😊 I’m sorry you have had to go through so much 💞
This is amazing. Kind of gross, but really freaking amazing.
I love that they don't take it too seriously at the donor facility. It's great they have fun.
I have IBS. I need this
This was a great video. It's great that you all went and talked to someone who has this issues and reported on it. Very well done, and I hope to see more videos done in this fashion. :-)
All jokes on the fridge are amazing!
I loved seeing them have fun with their job! I'm a vet tech so we deal with lots of poop every day; to us it's just a regular thing but no where near this level!
I had c.diff and I’m only 11, you have cramps, nausea, vomiting sometimes, weird poop Oder, and and a bit more symptoms, but don’t worry if you got it, Gods got you!!!❤️🙏
"Vladimir Poot'in"
That's incredible! I heard about this procedure in the hospital research facility I worked at but this gave me a better understanding. Thanks for sharing ^_^
i named my stoma the "shituation" after the guy from the jersey shore, the "situation." and i've lived my life by the words of weezy who once said, "shit happens and since i'm the shit, i'm who it happens to."
Whoa. This is insanely cool! Go science!
I don't know if it is true, but in the ARMY we had a guy try to commit suicide by drinking hand sanitizer. He didn't die and the Sergeant said the soldier had to get a poop transplant to digest food again.
Seeker Daily Best story so far guys.
not a good idea to watch this while drinking a smoothie
Mind control !!
I'd poop for you guys but I'd probably be a shitty donor...
😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍
This is a very beautiful story. This could be my favorite story of all time. January 5, 2022 Wednesday.
I will like to donate. I have what is needed.
My son was cure from Cdiff with this treatment.It works!!!
monica Hidalgo whats c diff
I’m looking forward to this this is my last hope at a normal life again
ceraz052 how did it go?
Did it work?
I hope you're good now, i might have to get this done because a second wave of CDIFF just hit me a week after finishing the antibiotics from the first wave
@ceraz052 you doing okay?
Any updates? I've been considering this for a long time now but so far couldn't find a donor.
Does it work for IBS?
Has anyone done this? What is your result or experience?
I have been suffering since 2009. I contracted C-diff when I went into hospital for a broken neck. I have been down to 115 pounds. Missed days of work because I"m either vomiting or going up to 20 times on the toilet. I just found out that they are doing clinical trials and have excepted 100 new patients, Seeing my specialist Tuesday. This will improve my quality of life. I've become a recluse because of the symptoms.
New favorite channel :D
Whoa! Very interesting
If you found this video interesting, you may also want to know that there's a new study from the British Medical Journal (which is well-respected) that highlights the gut-lung connection! It's called: Rapid Resolution of COVID-19 After Faecal Microbial Transplantation!
I'm in shock, this might be an answer to my life and illnesses!
A big congratulations for the doctors
Kudos, very well produced!
The procedure sounds pretty simple (compared to vaccine production ect.), has this not been around for longer just because of stigma?
Can’t wait to get mine!!!!
I bet it smells in there....
Surprisingly, it didn't!! Until they opened a new donor container, but they always did it under the chemical hood, so the smell was quickly removed.
Trace Dominguez That must have been one hell of a poop if they need a chemical hood.
If it smells more than a light smell then you have a problem with your digestion. Having two tablespoons of Ispagul (husk of plantago ovata) with meals, with juice with water etc. is the best. My poop hardly ever smells or the gas, which is absolutely minimal. The best brand of it is the old and trusted "Telephone Brand- Sat Isabgol" from India. It is so comfortable to pass motions and in an emergency, you don't even need to wipe yourself !! It comes out that smooth and lubricated. The western medical brands are not as good. My mom has been giving it to me since childhood.
I wonder if this could help other conditions like IBS
Wow that is crazy, bevis and butthead certainly need to work there.
I just had a colonic treatment. I was having diarrhea and now after feeling clean all through my guts, my poop is back to normal again. I am eating greens and taking probiotics like I hadn't been before.
Women get breast cancer, men get colon cancer. So as funny as this can be, I gotta say, taking care of my colon is one of the best decisions I ever made. The stories I heard about what people had gone through before getting colonics done are horrifying. I am glad I got some help before it was too late.
can this treatment help with chronic fatigue syndrome?
If they could find other applications for fecal transplants (or culture specific bacteria for transplant into the intestines) that could lead to helping people with certain digestive problems like lactose or fructose intolerance. I have no idea if it would work but I can dream.
Holy shit...
this is crazy im actually trying to look for this treatment and the doctor is actually near my area however ive been told he only treats people with c-diff and im trying to get a transplant for IBS
It's not legal for a doctor to do it for anything but C Diff in the US, as poop being used this way has now been labeled a drug, and I believe it's only after three rounds of antibiotics haven't worked.
How can i get this without being indicated for c.difil ?
this channel is great. the description is wrong guys!
I don't want to end my day with this video !!
I already love this channel so much.
That doge on the wall was much funny
If it works it works. That’s all that matters.
Yes!
CAN ANYONE PL E A S E TELL ME WHERE TF I CAN GET IT IM GOING MAD LOOKING FOR PLACES THAT TREAT IBS
How does one perform a fecal transplant?
this is amazing
If you loved this video, you may also want to know that Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is taking someone else’s stool (which contains their gut microbiota) and putting it into you or whoever is receiving the FMT. This process has been found to be more effective than a probiotic because if you get the stool from a healthy donor, you get more diversity than you would in a probiotic!
That's some good shit right there!
This is amazing.....
If you loved this video, you may also want to know that at this time, the FDA has only approved Fecal Microbial Transplants (FMT) for c-difficile (c-diff) infection, which is a really severe, recurrent infection. Antibiotics are used to treat c-diff, but the infection has a really high chance of recurring, which results in having to take more antibiotics, and then the bacteria become resistant to the antiobiotic! C-diff can also result in malnourishment. But FMT can help!
I recently made BizShoutOut video for OpenBiome! Check it out here! ruclips.net/video/goa4bWUIvtc/видео.html
Okay. Now when people ask you if you "Give a sh**!" You can say yes! And I am getting paid for it, too!
Is it still done this way? Or has it changed into the dehydrated capsule form and spinning?
It has to be in the Colin so the bacteria can reproduce
FMT can be done via colonoscopy, enema and capsule. I don't think it's dehydrated in the capsule though. For C Diff though, in the hospital that use colonoscopy.
The way the doc smirks while watching the replacement poop squirt into that dudes colon creeps me out.
3:40 doge on the fridge
Hello brother
Hey, everybody poops! This is great! :) I wish all the recipients the best of wellness!
That's some poop memes on the fridge
I just have one question. Did he feel full after?
Who would've ever thought that, one man's poop, is another man's hope for recovery ..
HAIL SCIENCE!
3:38 I'm DEAD ...POOTIN
I've never even heard this. How weird but never thought that would help someone.
Anyone else dying to know if they have superhero poop?
Jeremy Kean Hhahaha!
I never thought that poop has a chart of standards. Bristol Stool Chart.
amazing
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that Fecal Microbial Transplants (FMT) have a 90% success rate in exchange for relatively low risk. So there is some risk that exists with this procedure. For example, one person receiving FMT got an e-coli infection because the transfer was done in a home setting, not in a healthcare or research setting. When the procedure is done in a clinical setting, the stool is screened to prevent the transfer of aggressive pathogens!
Just tested positive for c diff, first thing I seen watching this video "30,000 people die" that's like a lot of people, I'm kinda scared.
same
This is some good shit! (literally)
The spice....they know about the spice
This is a very good school assignment
This is what i'm in college for
I have C-Diff and antibiotics are not working. So tired of the way I feel every day.
Very interesting.

Get the beans ready time to donate!
Where's the follow up for Ryan's Difficile?
Science. It can be really, really disgusting sometimes.
Need to live around Medford, Massachusetts, where the OpenBiome facility is located. Well, poop, I live in Colorado! :)
How about metrodonizole, oral vancomycin and probiotics ?
I've taken all of these in the past. The c. diff still came back.
@@sassasdfghjklbut did you have fmt?
I make my own sourkrut (i didn't spell that write ) and would love to "brake into the bizz" and would like to know If DNews(I love you) would know how to start selling or even donating my ,POOO ?
I have C-def all the time and Ulcerative colitis they don't make a good match i take my medicine i feel better, couple days leter from medicine immune system is weaker and i have c-def, I have to take anitbiotics ad then i take medicine again, It just is a horrible cycle. I started taking probiotics, but i want to do a stool transplant. I have to miss school sometimes. It makes me go into deperession and i have to wear a diaper
+KamiltheCamel did u get it? i am about to have one 4 crohns
Matt K No I never got the transplant
+KamiltheCamel I have uc. I feel your pain
damn! have u asked 4 a stool transplant? i hate how it seems how doctors don't actually seem to what is most helpful but what makes them the most $ :////
Matt K Well we got rid of C-def without it so the doctor said I don't need it and if it comes back again without being able to get rid of it then I can have it.
I don’tunderstand why they make it like a big deal? If it’s this effective why it’s not easy to get it? Ridiculous!
About to get an FMT in a few hours! Been having Cdiff since end of Dec last year, so 5-6 months I've been through this hell. Lost almost 15lbs. Tried Flagyl, 2 rounds of Vanco & Dificid and NOTHING helped! Literally a pain in the arse... This is my last resort so I'm hoping for the best. I will try to report back my results in few days...
How are you doing?
How are you???!!
what a great great story this is truly God at work showing mankind the importance of working with each other no man is more chosen than another by God we are all his children tribe that is the signature of God God does not discriminate keep up the good work I am so proud of you guys doctors and patients you all are great pioneers for a great future
as someone who had severe, unresponsive ulcerative colitis for 8 years, decided to remove my colon and has almost lost her life twice to ulcerative colitis related issues...i know a lot of shit about shit! i cannot believe that that guy had c diff for a prolonged time and no one knew it! that's literally blowing my mind! when i was treated for my flare ups, i was admired and quarantined for c diff as a precaution. i can't believe that whoever was treating him didn't do that...i guess i'm lucky to have had great medical care and knowledgeable doctors
Well, I've always wanted to get a Fecal Transplant!
South Park brought me here.
The resembance to a young jake gyllenhaal is astounding
I knew about this before but I just had and am having diarrhea for the past 6 days. They told me its a virus but I wish they wouldve just done this to me lol.
Why isn't this on the news?
This shit is amazing!!!
Awesome

that's one crappy job
ha
lol
Now i can say "Holy Shit!!"
why was there a doge meme on the fridge
Hmm does he have chronic c. Diff? Patients that have under gone abx therapy sometimes can develop it. But there are specific abx that can target c. Diff. Normally you can taken pills of flagyl or in worst cases IV flagyl or liquid vancomycin. I've seen patients recover from c. Diff. In the hospital all the time, and of course resolution of symptoms, including diarrhea.
This guy needs a therapist because of c. Diff? He must have some really hard time coping with life itself. Not to be mean lol but c. Diff. Is highly treatable.
Kenny Tai Your thinking is way simplified. Say that you have diarrhea at random times, pain and can't sleep all the time. Would you like to hang out with friends? Do sports? Would it be simple to keep a job if you can't be effective? Would you at all enjoy going somewhere knowing you could suddenly shit your pants? This guy probably has a lot of stuff he's depressed about, and THAT is why he's seeing a therapist. You better know how to understand people if you're working with people, or I feel sorry for them that you can't understand what their problem because you haven't gone through it yourself.
Kenny Tai He also made it sound like the doctors didn't find what was wrong with him for a very long time. For your body to be in such a weak state and to get to the point that there is no hope will definitely drain you emotionally and mentally. You could say he felt like his life was going down the toilet.
As c.diff "survivor" I did a fecal transplant under the direction of my infectious disease doc 11 yrs ago and at home. My sib and mother were donors and went thru testing so they couldn't give me some other parasite or disease. The hospital didn't have "protocols" in place to do the transplant in Canada. I contracted c.diff after a bowel resection and my body was so done after 8 rounds of chemo and a resulting stroke as a complication of chemo. I was taking Flagyl as well as oral vanco to no avail. C.diff may be "highly treatable" in a healthy body but I was so depleted after so much chemo and complications my body couldn't kick c.diff's butt. My fam and I used lots of humour to get thru it tho....I had to buy my own blender to "complete the transaction" so to speak. It was disgusting tho!
Kenny Tai you do understand this is a chronic illness and very hard to get rid of with antibiotics. It's very embarrassing for the patients as well as very painful they can also become anorexic they can also die. Do you work in the healthcare field? If you do you must be new because I've worked in it for 29 years and have lots of experience with this so I know what I'm talking about I'm not just blowing off steam.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT SOME GOOD SHIT
I'm already a blood and sperm donor. Now it's time to go for the trifecta.
This shit is awesome!
don't fuck around with c diff, i had it for months after Clindomycin prescribed after my wisdom teeth removal fucked my colon. I went through like 3 rounds of flagyl, prescription grade probiotics, and a round of vancomycin and FINALLY i was back to normal
wonder if the med workers in lab workers donate too
There might be regulations that prevents them from doing that
I'm jealous on the poop lab. Why would you need such a laminar flow cabinet, you don't need it. Send it to me!
This is awesome. But it's now "new". Maybe the in depth research and recording of it is, but this miracle cure, although arcane in a lot of places, have been using this method of healing for a long time.
