From human to human? That's an interesting idea. No, I'm curious. I think that it's possible. We don't know. We don't know. So this is the way that I would unpack this. So fecal transplants in humans. I'm sure you saw the Netflix show where there was someone who was taking her boyfriend's poop. And you didn't see this? Oh, okay. What was the name of it?

I don't remember the name of the show, but I'm sure we could dig it up. There was a Netflix show recently where basically one of the main people that was being followed, she was taking her boyfriend's poop and putting it and like taking it.

I think he knew. And she was like encapsulating it. Okay. All right. So from my perspective, I don't love the idea. Let me explain why. So the concern that I have is that we just don't know what the risks are. And we should not trivialize that because in the 1970s, we developed the ability to give blood transfusions. So this was a great thing.

People were dying because they couldn't get blood prior to this, right? But the issue is we didn't know for many years that actually we were transferring hepatitis C because we hadn't actually detected the existence of hepatitis C at all. And then we went through a period of time in the early 80s where we called this non-A, non-B because we knew what hepatitis A and hepatitis B were.

We didn't know what this was, but we knew that there was something there. We were giving people hepatitis C through blood transfusions. So tons of people who got blood in the 70s and early 80s ultimately had this. And we just didn't know that we were doing this. So I tend to take a cautious approach when it comes to fecal transplant to say that we need to study it.

Where we are right now is I have actually seen quite miraculous things, honestly, with fecal transplant within the realm of infections. So there's a specific infection called C. diff, and it tends to happen to people after they receive antibiotics. And we are approved, like a gastroenterologist such as myself is approved to provide this treatment for people that have had C. diff.

especially if it's severe or if it's a recurrent C. diff, like you've had it more than once. And I'll just tell you that I've seen some quite miraculous things where a person is like literally at the point where antibiotics are failing them and they might need to have their colon removed surgically.

And so what's happening there is that antibiotics are the fastest way to medically induce dysbiosis within the body. So like for example, Cipro, a common antibiotic that we get for urinary tract infections or for diverticulitis, it destroys 65% of the microbes and it's not just bad ones. So you are like totally decimating the architecture of the ecosystem
