Poop that makes you slim? Poop that cures allergies? Poop that makes you smarter? Poop that makes you pretty…?!
This is AI Biotics, which takes a close look at poop.
Laura, an ordinary neighborhood housewife who didn’t have any particular ailments but didn’t take special care of her health, had no problems except for the occasional diarrhea the day after drinking a lot. She was in her fifties and had gained some weight, but she had no problems living.
Then one day, her gums swelled and her toothache got worse. Pus was even coming out of her gums. Because the toothache was unbearable, she went to her regular dentist and received treatment. After taking the medicine prescribed by the dentist, her gum disease got much better.
However, her digestion seemed to be poor, and a week later, her enteritis symptoms got worse, and she ended up being hospitalized.
It’s called ‘Clotris difficile infection’.
I thought I could treat it since I knew the cause, but there’s no medicine. This bacteria, which often occurs after antibiotic use, is antibiotic-resistant and causes malignant inflammation in the intestines. In the place where the beneficial bacteria and symbiotic bacteria disappeared due to antibiotics, this bacteria that can overcome antibiotics has taken over. The
doctor tells Laura, who has been suffering for several months.
‘There is a treatment method…’ The trailing off is a bit suspicious.
‘What is it?’
‘It involves injecting your husband’s feces into your intestines.’
‘Wow!!!!’
A month later, Laura became very healthy.
When fecal transplantation, which is now widely known, was first performed, it was crazy. However, this treatment method using intestinal microorganisms is very groundbreaking, as it has a cure rate of 70~80%.
In the 4th century, China fed fecal water to patients with food poisoning or diarrhea, the ‘golden soup’ treatment used in the Ming Dynasty, the Arabs used camel dung to treat bacterial dysentery, and Korea used ‘fecal water’ to treat intestinal poison…
People seemed to have understood the microbiome with their intuition.
In modern times, the first fecal transplantation was performed in the United States in 1958.
Since then, thousands of fecal transplantations have been performed every year, but because there are no regulations for donors and no medical regulations for healthy feces, medical laws have not been finalized.
In fact, there is still no exact definition of ‘healthy feces’. This is because there is no such thing as perfectly ‘healthy feces’ in any case. Because everyone’s body condition is different and there is no stool that is completely free of harmful bacteria, there is a potential risk in any case.
The most common fecal transplant technique is to dilute healthy(?) feces and spray them on the intestinal wall with a sprayer. This allows the Clostridium difficile that dominates the intestinal mucosa to compete with the bacteria in the healthy feces. In addition, it creates an environment that is favorable for beneficial bacteria. This is not done once, but several times, and the principle is that if you coat the intestinal wall with good feces, the harmful bacteria in the intestinal mucosa will gradually decrease.
Recently, there is also a method of putting feces in a capsule and taking it.
I hate to even imagine eating feces, but if I wake up after an overnight colonoscopy and my intestines are stronger, it seems worth a try.
That’s why we are looking for people with good feces. Since the right feces will vary from person to person, the era where good feces become money is coming. It
can be expanded to various fields, not just Clostridium difficile infection.
Poop that makes you slim, poop that cures allergies, poop that makes you smarter, poop that makes you pretty…
I think I’m going crazy after seeing only poop for so long.
