Alternative and last chance treatments .. Fecal Transplants - Page 1

A link to an article on Dr. Becker's site for Mercola .. I'm sure they must be selling something but I don't see it .. before you dismiss this out of hand please be aware that allergies and other diseases that don't respond to the typical veterinarian medicine model ( give two of these, schedule another appointment, and pay on your way out ) have been proven to respond to this treatment.  Perhaps dogs eating poop aren't so crazy after all.  Fecal transplants have shown efficacy in humans and animals in cases for which traditional industrial medicine have not proven effective.

The fact that fecal transplants are often helpful during and after diseases and antibiotics have wiped out the healthy gut biome begs the question "why aren't fecal transplants a common treatment" as they are cheap and unlikely to cause harm??  Could it be that the veterinarians and pharma companies are not supportive of cheap and effective treatments that don't require technology and chemicals they can charge money for.  Reminds me of the old "Armour" thyroid treatments made of dessicated pig thyroids versus the synthetic prescription replacement which requires much more cost and expensive lab tests ... money, money, money????  I take the dessicated thyroid myself and give it to my dogs, it works fine, and it costs about 5% of the expensive alternative .. who knew????

More on fecal transplants, diseases treated in humans and how to do one below.  For dogs able and willing to eat it seems mixing some healthy stool from a healthy donor with raw ground meat often does the trick and for those dogs unable or unwilling to eat an alternative rectal transplant via infusion is described.

It's not rocket science, it's cheap, and it may be your pet's last chance .. doesn't require a veterinarian.  The fecal transplant method seems to work best with GI tract diseases and allergies.  Finding a healthy host seems to be the most difficult part.
