could someone post it again please?

NYTimes article on fecal implants and gut biology

There was a great article today and I emailed it from the times website to this forum, so I hope it comes thru.

It's work going up to the NYTimes site and reading it if you can.

Hi All,

The folks who originated the Human Probiotic Infusion are Drs. Barry Marshall

and Borody in Australia. Their website is found here:

http://www.cdd.com.au/

They use it to treat UC and Crohn's, and there is discussion in using it for

autoimmunity issues, also. It's been a while since I researched it, but their

success rate is high, and I think they price out the HPI treatment at a few

thousand. They have a pool of regularly tested donors they use. My own

thoughts are it is a brilliant idea, but you've got to prepare for the infusion

with SCD and breaking down biofilms. I would guess the unsuccessful cases

treated with HPI have persistant biofilms that prevent adhesion of the

introducted good bacteria.

When I spoke with their office, because I have and am considering doing it, and

they do have a home protocol for the HPI. They do this because so many people

the world over are seeking their help, but cannot make it to Australia. I've

got a copy of the HPI Home Protocol if anyone is interested - contact me and I

will e-mail it directly. It calls for introduction of the HPI via an enema to

the colon, which wouldn't likely be effective for Crohn's or SIBO folks, where

an NG tube would be more effective. Of course, it is possible to ingest it

yourself, and I've seen others on the blogs who have done so.
