Grandmother saved by daughter's poo

By Megan Levy

It must be one of the most stomach-churning medical treatments ever devised. A grandmother who contracted a potentially fatal superbug in Scotland has been saved after a hospital fed her daughter’s faeces to her.

Ethel McEwan, an 83-year-old from Guardbridge, Fife, was near death after contracting Clostridium Difficile, the Daily Record reported. But she was saved after receiving a "faecal transplant" from her daughter, Winnifred. The treatment involves liquidising a sample of faeces from a close relative of the patient, and feeding the liquid down a tube into the stomach.

The treatment restores the bacteria to levels at which they help the recovery process. "When you tell people about the treatment, they wrinkle their noses," Mrs McEwan told the Daily Record.

"But it’s not like they put it on a plate and have you eat it. You don’t ever see or smell a thing."

"People will have a blood transplant or a kidney transplant – what’s the difference with this?"

Ummm. It’s ****!!! That’s the difference.

    Here in Canada, there is a different method to this exchange. There is a doctor in Ajax, Ontario and a doc in Calgary, Ab to administer this exchange.

    There is a superbug going around causing cefidel (sp?). The bug inhabits the lower bowels and takes over the probiotics in that system. It causes severe diarreah (up to 40X/day) and because of this severe frequency, it is causing the skin to break down. It has been fatal in a number of cases.

    Basically, the exchange is the same except for the delivery. Instead of being ingested orally, it is now performed as an ****. The healthy **** bacteria from a genetically disposed person will basically take over the infection and a cure is usually within 4-24 hours. There was one case where a person from Ontario came out to Calgary with her sister to have this procedure done and within 6 hours, she was hiking through the mountains and actually had a beer (she was infected for a year and a half, ouch:eek:). Even though this radical procedure has a 90% cure rate, most doctors won't perform it for the squeamish factor. It can be performed at home, where most of the procedures have been done.

    Maybe that's why us Canadians have better teeth than the Brits.:D

    See, Now for the sisters I can picture the home remedy for this ....the healthy sister loads up on beans and milkshakes for a couple of days...buys a hollow flexible double headed **** at the local sex shop ( Possibly even owned already ? ) ....cut a hole on each end...insert and let the healthy pressurized sister get to the healing.

    Brothers...go see the damn doctor :eek:
