Maybe you've heard of alternative medicine use urine or blood therapies. But, what about the therapeutic treatment using the stool?
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology revealed fecal injection method or 'transpoosions' to cure a chronic digestive disorder caused by bacterial infection Clostridium difficile.
"The treatment was very efficient, with 90 percent cure rate for the first time use. The result is safe, without side effects, and can solve problems in a matter of hours," said Dr. Lawrence Brandt of Montefiore Medical Center, in New York, as published Aol Health.
Brandt said the injection of feces can be done via enema, a procedure inclusion of substances into the colon via the anus. Can also through gastric tube, a tube inserted into the stomach through the nose.
During this time, patients infected with Clostridium difficile bacteria rely on injections of antibiotics as treatment. Clostridium difficile is a type of bacteria that are difficult off than other types such as C. botulinum and C. perfringens. Clostridium bacterial infections are usually marked diarrhea.
Clostridium difficile is a tough character to die to make cocktail of antibiotics to be expensive. In the United States, killing Clostridium difficile antibiotic to reach U.S. $ 60 or about Rp870 thousand per item. Once the treatment could reach U.S. $ 2,000 almost Rp19 million.
Though expensive, injectable antibiotics may not be impervious to kill bacteria. In fact, it rarely causes chronic diarrhea. "The rate of antibiotic failure of 10-20 percent with 60 percent chance of relapse," he said.
That's why Brandt was so excited to develop an alternative treatment using injection feces. In addition to cheaper, feces injection method has no effect antibiotic injections that could threaten the body's metabolic disorder.
Brandt said the injection can be obtained through a donor feces feces that have been through laboratory testing. "There are several bank lenders in Australia, but in the United States, we used fresh faeces of the donor," he said. "We separate the donors who had AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis, parasites and other pathogens."
Despite claims of treatment success was 90 percent, many doctors are reluctant to switch to 'antibiotic' is natural. "It's hard to imagine using a manure treatment. I'm concerned, the use of excreta as antibiotics could potentially create new problems in patients, such as cross-infection," said Dr. Saad Habba, an expert from New Jersey gastric disease.
