When my son was young, he had numerous tubes put in his ears along with a rotation of antibiotics for ear infections. His ENT said he hated taking out tonsils but recommended it for our son. We shared it with his GP and she went off on us as she was strongly against it. We told her we can’t keep pumping him full of antibiotics. Never had another problem after they were taken out along with having his adenoids cauterized.

Fecal transplant has been the treatment of choice for recalcitrant c diff for quite a few years now. It is well known to be the most eggs give treatment though antibiotics usually suffice for mild cases

It used to be via NG tube in the early days. Now it is done with a colonoscopy and sprayed throughout the colon

Glad to hear that! Per rectum would not be pleasant, but per os would be worse.

They use them to get the blood flowing on severed limbs and digits. But first they use sterile maggots to clean the areas to be reattached as they tend to eat the dead and rotting flesh before the live tissue.

Ah science!

That’s it! I knew I had read/heard about this. God was way ahead of science. (God IS science, even though Fauci said, “I am science”.
