Don’t talk shit, they say! (sorry if this word offends, but also as they say, SHIT HAPPENS!)
I’ve had an epiphany, and by chance, doo-doo is something I know a little about.
But let’s go back a wee bit before I get into the main manure of this post.
My epiphany is all about the exchange of poop and its potential wonders. Praise Be Shit!
Let’s dig in, shall we?
Modern science has shown us with little doubt that transfusing blood from a young person into an older person changes the aging process, and in effect, makes the older person’s internal guts younger. It also works vice versa when transfusing from old to young.
It’s incredible and exciting and on its surface seems like a simple answer to concerns over aging.
But, to be fair, it has some worrisome aspects too.
I was a lab technologist for 37 years and I know firsthand that blood transfusion – as lifesaving as it can be – also has troublesome risks because of graft vs host rejection, just like organ transplants.
When we inject someone else’s blood into our veins, our bodies will occasionally start up the weapons’ factories, fire up the army, navy, and air force, and unleash an antibody response to a foreigner in our blood stream. It’s like the Ukraine fighting back an unwanted invader like the Russians. Russian intruders = blood transfusion… Our bodies = Ukraine…

But let’s get down and dirty now and talk shit…
Blood isn’t the only bodily “fluid” we transplant from one human to another… we also do faecal transplants to inject a healthy biome from one individual to another.
The helpful and healthful bacteria transplanted may help against a range of health conditions, from GI infections to autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
You should really give a shit about this now because Poop is more important than most of us ever realized.
Maybe it’s even a game changer.
Here’s my “wishful thinking “epiphany:
By the same notion that blood transfusion can change our internal aging clock, I’m figuring that a faecal transplant can have some pretty profound impacts too.

How about a potent and potential example or two:
- Transplant the faecal matter of someone of great intelligence into my colon and KAZAM… I begin spouting E=mc2 like a 21st century Einstein.
- For the narcissists and villains (sorry to equate the two) out there, we inject stool directly from each year’s Nobel Peace prize winner into the guts of louts and criminals and transform our jails overnight into the Peace Corps. Who needs gun control laws when everyone wants to hug their neighbours around the world. Line up and bend over Putin!
- Or, perhaps for those of us who pine to look like Chris Pine or croon like Billie Eilish or Beyonce? Pack it in the back door, and start singing or acting like the diva or thespian you always dreamed of becoming.
One last thought… for the larger expanse of us beings who are reasonably content with our inner and outer souls but might feel the need of a refreshing refresh…
… you know, a need to flush our brains of external “shit”.
This information excrement that others have transplanted inside us, often without our knowledge or consent, needs to be flushed from our systems.
An annual FT (Faecal Transplant) treatment could be the hallowed road to peace and harmony, world and inner peace.
Register for yours today… then…
Sing it with me… All We Are Saying… is… Give Shit a Chance…

Well done laddie…a few additional tidbits to add, if I may, as this is a topic of great interest to me. As you know I have engaged in specialized medical training in integrative and functional medicine. I recall many lectures focusing in on the gut and the nature of the microbiome. It was astounding to me, and I suspect will be to your readers, that our gut “houses” over 100 TRILLION bacteria which have profound influence over many aspects of our physiological and emotional life. These 100 TRILLION bacteria are roughly equal to the # of cells in the human body! MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN!
The gut is not the only area of the body with a microbiome. The skin has about 1 TRILLION bacteria and the mouth about 10 BILLION bacteria. Other areas of the body have their own microbiome too. We live in a symbiotic relationship with trillions of bacteria and these “micro-buddies” keep us alive and healthy on many fronts.
Now…If the above hasn’t blown your mind this will. As most people know…scientists mapped the human genome a couple of decades back. Remember all of the hoopla surrounding this?? Yup…it was a HUGE DEAL and has already had a profound impact on medicine as scientists are exploring the genetic nature of disease in great detail and there are now many genetic tests to help one understand their risk of getting this/that disease. You hardly go through a day without hearing about new SNPs” being discussed i.e. the “Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms” resulting in this disease or that disorder. Amazing discoveries are coming to light that are having and will have greater impact on health and wellness long after we are gone. BUT…here is the amazing thing to wrap your “little gray cells” around (thank you Hercule Poirot)…the human genome has been mapped and has been shown to have 23,000 genes! The human gut microbiome with the 100 TRILLION bacteria has over 1 MILLION GENES! (Drop the mic here). BOOM!!!
I could go on, and on, and on…but will close here with a couple of final points. Without going into detail let me just say that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in our health and well-being. It synthesizes vitamins, metabolizes harmful toxins from the environment, produces neurotransmitters important to our mental health, and so much more. There are many factors that influence the microbiome, too, including diet/nutrition choices, how we were born (vaginal vs c-section), stress, age, presence of chronic illness in our lives, our history of use of antibiotics (this is HUGE), our use of NSAID pain meds (ibuprofen for example), presence of inflammation in our body, and many other factors! The term for this dysfunction is DYSBIOSIS! I am sure some/many/all of your readers have heard this term. Last concept to blow the mind–>all of these issues above that contribute to dysbiosis i.e. dysfunction of our gut microbiome, can lead directly to intestinal permeability i.e. “leaky gut” and leaky gut has been implicated in autoimmune disorders.
Sooooo…..the faecal stool transplant has been a huge discovery and has been of tremendous benefit to many but as you stated there are always cautions that must be taken and medical science is really just beginning to scratch the surface on this amazing and beneficial treatment option.
Peace,
Jim

Sir James! You have given the thousands… er… hundreds… OK, dozens, of Man on the Fringe readers a great Two’fer today with your superb and well-detailed treatise on the background details, benefits and possible future directions (and drawbacks) of faecal transplantation. My “tongue-in-cheek” approach mixed with your “tongue-in-factual-reality” gives us all both a fun, and a fact way to look at our faecal future. Of course, we’re both more than just Men On The Faecal Fringe 😉 Many thanks good man!

Always glad to add a comment or two to your excellent blogs Uncle Larry. Your topics are always thought provoking and this one in particular had sort of a laxative effect on my bound up thoughts….it all just started to flow…😁
Sorry…. couldn’t resist a little “faecal funny” given the blog topic.
Peace
Jim

Interesting how your brain works Larry.
I’m thinking.
I like Jim’s contribution.

Thanks Florence… Jim is a wonderful friend and a great contributor to this blog site. He has an amazing capacity for zany, silly thought one minute, and deep reflection and introspective philosophy the next. As for my brain??? Is there one??? LOL 😉
