weight loss

[ChemGal]

Here's something. Clinical trials will soon begin on ingesting freeze-dried poop pills. Would you swallow down pills of someone else's poop? Would you donate/sell your poop for such a cause?

I would if I knew the person - say Chemguy's and I had something like C. diff. For something less acute I would need to have more issues than I currently do.
I'm pretty sure I would be screened out. Again, I don't think I would just donate to someone randomly but if I were healthy I would for sick family, even extended.

Nope! Wouldn't do it as weight loss. Just because someone else does well with their intestinal flora doesn't mean it wouldn't cause issues for me. When it's bacteria that I'm exposed to on a regular basis I'm more trusting of it, but not to get such a large dose at once just to lose weight.

Flaura ... something to fawn on in the woods if such things interest yah under the trees? A somnolent booty like that 100 year old fella in myths meth Use aL-la?

I wouldn't do it unless I absolutely needed to lose weight and there was no other option. It's just...pretty gross. I suppose if a person got an intestinal bug from poop pills, they might lose weight rather quickly (and unpleasantly)?

 

[Luce NDs]

So much bull ... people use such cultures without having any haute concern about eM if thye didn't know what they swallowed ... un be known St?

It isn't just for losing weight, though, at least not information that I have read in the past.

If tests of my GI from a reputable clinic showed I was missing key bacteria, then, yes I would look at ways to introduce it

I predict that gut bacteria is going to be an increasingly important diagnostic and treatment tool.

It's complicated and I've only been to a few seminars where the guest speaker spoke about this years ago, so I'm certainly not up to date, but I see issues with this.
-Generally someone has their own 'fingerprint' of bacteria. This does change, like when being on antibiotics, but after the treatment stops the fingerprint reverts back to what it is. So simply taking the pills for a short term may not lead to a long term effect.
-The issue with unknown infections. This is why I would stick to people I am close with. Since the bacteria are living, treatment to prevent infections is limited. This could be viral in addition to bacterial.
-Infections with the 'good bacteria'. This can happen, particularly with people who have immunodeficiencies or an actual issue with 'leaky gut' - not the pseudoscience leaky gut syndrome.

The first time that I read about it was as part of a fecal transplant. Basically, introduce fecal matter from one person into another.

@ChemGal , I think it would depend on how sick you are and what your options are.

Yes, as a treatment for c.diff., the options are "die or lose your colon'.

For those that have me on ignore for their naïveté ... I mentioned this colonized flora used to be called Mexiform* and works like a charm. Probably saved my hinder parts when I had stressed BS prior to reaching 30 in my time.

* the spelling may be off, and the name begs for one to consider how it got this name ... Mexican Fever?

I know such scattered data (intellectual non-matter?) that I am often known as a scatter brain because people don't follow this type of pathological psychology ... they focus on the Locos of emotions ... another dark art!

Yes, I was the one who first brought up C. diff.

which if it wasn't safely tucked between my legs, i'd lose time & time again

I would eat my partner Yobo's poop. There's probably nuggets of kimchi goodness in there

 

[Kimmio Laughterlove]

Aww gross! Definitely too much information, Jae!

itz like having your dinner all over again

 

[Luce NDs]

Can you believe the myth of chit eaters??

Maybe because they couldn't take god ... or the entire (whole) thing at once? There are still those that say they can't take this eternal chit ... the God piece or a particle of Bo's UNE nature ...

What does Bo'z have to do with spirit? It too will pas ...

Back on track here folks-this is a thread ON WEIGHT LOSS

I put on my xl ski pants-over a thin pair of fleece pants-couldn't zip them- so I am motivated to get smaller-especially my belly
