"We are 10% Human, and 90% Poop

Post by CoolBreeze »

I was looking up the subject of probiotic bacteria, which is something that scientists are starting to use in a big way. (think yogurt)

Then I stumble onto a procedure called Fecal Bacteriotherapy. This is where someone's poop is collected, ground up in a blender, then added to saline and injected into a patient with bowel disease. It's all very fascinating really.

So I'm watching a Youtube video on the subject and the doctor claims that "there are 9 times more living bacterial cells in our stool, than in the entire body.... so in effect, we are 10% human and 90% crap". (I threw the word crap in there)

OK... who didn't suspicion this all along?

After spending 20 minutes with you I knew then you, at the very least were full of crap.

I figure any test results obtained from Scatman Crothers might skew the percentages...

Maybe I should join the dead people thread. That seems to be of utmost interest, and EASY to understand. :P

If you think about it, It makes sense.
Cells die or excrete waste to the blood which is filtered by the kidneys.
Blood and lymphatic fluid is everywhere in the body.
I like my steaks medium rare. I am cow poop.

Yes but why cant they isolate the needed bacteria and "use as needed"? I mean, they have needed bacteria in Yogurt that we EAT for Gods sake. There must be a reason that I haven't figured out yet as to why poop itself must be used.
