My father in law had a stroke and got MRSA from the hospital and got extremely sick. The antibiotics they used (venkomiacin or however you spell it) destroyed all the good bacteria and he kept getting infections. To solve this they had to use my sister in laws stool sample for the stool transplant to get the good bacteria back into his system.
It worked! Ancient Chinese secret huh?!
Wow! I find that fascinating and hope that your father in law is fine now. Yeah there is definitely something to some of the Chinese medicine. Apparently if you get the right gut bacteria it can also help maintain weight. From what I've read, just swallowing a pill with the right bacteria does not do the trick.
