- How swallowing someone else's poop could save your life!
Dr. Mark Davis is a Portland-based naturopath who specializes in stomach and intestinal health. He is an expert in fecal transplantation, having successfully administered it for patients of many conditions. Davis cofounded Microbiomes, LLC, which was the first group in the U.S. to offer a fecal transplant capsule, which is taken orally. He hopes that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will eventually allow more patients to benefit from fecal transplantation.

This treatment saved my life! I did it myself after relying on doctors who knew nothing about this treatment. I had C-diff for almost two years. It's not "swallowing" the poop it's an enema and it's not a big deal. If you're sick enough, you'll do anything to save your life!
Susan Ferrington How many times is this needed ? Where did you get a donor ? Thank you
Any help is appreciated, My mom has it and nothing is working. 😢
Wanda Graebner My gastroenterologist did it. Make some phone calls and ask if they will do it. Keep looking till you find one. It is now a mainstream treatment. S
Donors are screened and tested. I have no clue who it or they were. But, the C diff is gone.
Susan Ferrington did it work?
Susan Ferrington and what and how do you do it ....I'm dying from this stuff
Watching this with my four-year-old, and when you said that the FDA labeled poop as a drug, he looked up and yelled "What?! That's fake!" Children are so perceptive! Even a four year old can instantly recognize that labeling our organic, internal matter as a drug is insane! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK!
This is awesome. I wish I'd known about this talk. In 2016 my wife had been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder for a number of years and had tried taking her life on a number of occasions. Her medication stopped her psychosis and suicidality but gave her no quality of life. I figured that her childhood trauma and overuse of antibiotics could have knocked her gut microbiome out so we decided to do FMT- I was the donor. We were the first people in the world to do it for mental health issues as far as we can tell. Anyhow, she's been off all medications and symptom-free for seven years now. Before FMT, being off medication for even two days meant she was off to a psych ward. Fortunately her psychiatrist published her case history.
Can it be used forr ocd
Wow, what an incredible story. Your unconditional love for your wife is absolutely admirable, thanks for sharing.
My teacher made me watch this for school and it was a very great talk!
I'm heading to the UK in a couple of days, to the Taymount Clinic, for my third round of FMT treatment. I was diagnosed with CFS and IBS-C after years of antibiotics and accutane, for acne, tonsillitis, and recurrent chest infections. So far it has almost cured my fatigue, and my IBS is greatly improved, but I will continue the treatment until I am fully cured, and I have total faith that it will do the job.
Why do you have to go to the uk to do this.Do you live in the united state's are you from the uk?
I live in the Channel Islands, however, there are many people who travel to the UK from the US to have this treatment, as the FDA has classed it as a 'drug', and only allow it's use for the treatment of C-Diff.
I noticed a difference almost immediately, and don't have much of a problem with fatigue anymore, the main thing I suffer with now is IBS. Not sure what you define as post exertion malaise, but I had a long spell where I would get home from work and immediately fall asleep.
+Sophia Aandahl Where are you doing this? In California?
+Sophia Aandahl
Hi Sophia, how did it go for your CFS? Thank you.
What a charismatic guy and what a health saving subject!
Seems like you dont need a doctor for this. Just a little ingenuity and an enema bag you can buy at the local store. Oh and a very healthy friend.
The FMT saved my husbands life. The FDA like usual makes it difficult. Why? It’s cheap and it works.
Did you all do it yourself or found a physician who assisted you all?
I wouldn't be surprised if the answer to your question in your final sentence.
Because of money. It probably works too well,and there isn't enough money to be made with it.
The FDA receives most of its funding from drug companies and the decision-makers in the FDA are loaded with ex-drug-company officials. Does that explain this decision or the multitude of nonsensical decisions during the pandemic?!?!?!
@@jadehollyfield1017 Doctors don't do it in the US and Canada. It's possible to buy FMT pills, but I have never done that. They can supposedly help some.
Wonderful work, now if the FDA would only get out of your way.
it's not FDA. It's the pharma who 'control' some people there.
The FDA is bought and paid for by Big Pharma. Everyone at the top of the FDA, every political appointee, is working for one pharmaceutical company or another. The actual scientists and other low and mid-level employees are usually good people but also not often brave enough to blow the whistle on corruption (which destroys their careers and has the government try to persecute them one way or another.) But there's been quite a few FDA whistleblowers..
A lot of stuff isn't even approved by the FDA but still sells though. Anyway you can get a bidet attachment or a portable bidet(squeeze bottle...) very cheaply on amazon (3 - 30$). You can try filling the portable bidet with different types mud, yogurt, fermented wine, and other probiotics to spray after you use the toilet then keep a journal...
@@aoeu256 would this work?
BRAVO! from a 68 year old crohn's patient.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
the FDA always looking out for our corporate overlords
THANK YOU!!!
This treatment saved my life too
How did you prepare the stool? Could you please guide me in this?
Thank you Mark Davis!
Thanks for sharing this . Ask you sincerely if this could treat for chronic constipation? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks
Mark, you've found your calling! I sent this video to a friend of mine who it might help! Say hi to your family for me. - Ruth Z Deming, still on Cowbell Road
Lol
I'd volunteer in a second to get FMT from a skinny person. May be it would decrease my IBS and waist line too!
Mayo Clinic has trials that say yes. They gotta let out only when they can make a ton of money
this Dr is awesome
It's good commonly observed in animal like hare as a nutritional strategy
That was awesome!
Thank you for sharing this. I told my family about FMT a few years ago when my father was dying and had C. Diff. There was even a town in his state where they could get it but the doctors would not follow up on it. I feel it is criminal that they are letting so many people dye when the "cure" for most of them is so simple.
My Dr is in Meridian, and Boise, Idaho. This was the first thing he tried for me. I had been on very expensive antibiotics from my regular Dr after having to be hospitalized for it. I had read about it in my Lab journals, but I never thought I would get one. It makes sense from my microbiology background. This should be nation wide. It works.
It's the same with cancer. There is a patented cure available for 10.000 Dollar, it healed all the patients in the trials. Still doctors 'heal' with chemo and radiation which yields up to 300.000 dollars a year and has many side effects so the treatment of them produces even more profit. The people with money call the shots.
@@sonibraun4971 hey! If you know a cure for cancer that works, why would you not give the reference of it ???
@@celinee.9562 Booooo. Not even a thank you for me taking the time.
@Tatyana Vyalkin Hi Tatyana. Please see my answers above this comment. I found the cure and also other treatments are mentioned in the videos I posted in the below comments. I hope you profit from that. ;)
Not all bacteria are bad ;)
I want to find a practitioner that does this in the US! I have CFS and I’m sensitive to meds! Helllpppppoo
They do it in Tampa Florida. But you could do it at home when you screened your donor really thoroughly.
I have begun to have dementia symptoms and a healthy friend I’m very excited and have done my first at home round . Dementia is an aweful death! My son would only let his dog clean his road rash wounds never an infection
why isn't this a common treatment these days
your mom because it works
They want you to buy drug$ for the rest of your life
Big pharma
Because this is so simple, it could be an outpatient procedure done w/ little to no major expense involved and it has the potential for making a tremendous positive impact on people's health. They don't want this...Sickness is Big Business!
Also - Salem, the only place where Ted comes with a translator for the deaf.
Beyond subtitles. Lol
Does this work with a disease called PATM (people allergic to me)? Because people suffer after taking antibiotocs?
Let's not forget the most important question here: How do you keep your friends from ripping on you.
If you care more about the opinions of your friends than your health, you really need to reconsider your priorities.
Does this treatment work for severe social anxiety and depression I herd in the video it could help
Dude save yourself the money go buy a cat and do yourself
yes yes , i had anxiety very severy , antibiotics and probiotics completely cured it so Im sure microbiome is the answer
Does anyone know if there have been any studies done with Food Allergies using FMT? I'd appreciate any info that you may have come across. Thanks.
I will let you know soon. I have UC and a boat load of food allergies. Getting it done soon
@@MrSlimdaddybim excellent, I look forward to your updates. Thanks.
@@MrSlimdaddybim any updates?
@@aesthetic7633 No. I had to postpone. It won't be for a while
If somebody wants to study FMT, which degree would be best? Is it necessary to be a doctor? This topic excites me like anything.
Microbiology is at least a great direction to learn more about FMT. Microbes are everywhere, in everything
@@thecrookedanvil Thank you so much for the guidance.
The spiceeeeee
he knows!
The way I was watching South Park and decided to look this up to see if it was real....
Thanks for sharing on this fascinating topic! Did you know that there's a new study from the British Medical Journal (which is well-respected) that highlights the gut-lung connection? It's called: Rapid Resolution of COVID-19 After Faecal Microbial Transplantation!
I`d like to know why we can`t manufacture the GOOD bacteria and swallow it as a pill? Surely there`s got to be a way of growing such microorganisms in the lab. This is science not to be sniffed at.
We do they are called probiotics and you can buy them everywhere. The thing is for really sick people the oral route doesnt deliver enough of the bacteria to the colon where they are needed. Personally I make a probiotic enema out of greek yogurt any time I feel an IBD flair coming on. Works like a charm.
Open biome makes the fmt pills
There’s too much species of bacteria, fungi and viruses that can’t be grown in the lab. Microbiota is very complex, and scientists today don’t have all the answers.
@@nonconsensusmedicine4755 doesn't help you if you take the yoghurt top down. Are you alright with your colon if you put the yoghurt in there? You just take the yoghurt and put it in there? I am always kinda worried about the acidity and other things.
@@sonibraun4971 The colon is acidic. I mix it with water and put it in an enema bag for easy delivery. Never had any problems. And even if I did I doubt it would be any worse than the side effects from the commonly prescribed drugs.
Why is this not one of the first treatments that is used?
Your GI doctor may need to lower his living standards because he is losing patients, due to many being cured. 😢
I'm a retired RN in upstate NY. I need to get a Poop Pill transplant...where can I go in 2021 and beyond please? How does one qualify?
Frank, there’s a doctor in Long Island, Dr Hirsch who does it. It’s quite a screening process to get in to see him but you can try. His office is in Manhasset, NY. Good luck
Go to the facebook page about FMT and there is someone.
Will this work for people with body odor or fish syndrome? Trimethylaminuria?
I'm dealing with this condition aswell. I'm looking into going to Mexico to try and get it overseas
This takes hereditary disease to a whole new level. Does the microbial gut affect a person's DNA making them more prone to hereditary disease or does a person's DNA create its unique microbiota?
I'm betting half of what we point to with genes is actually caused by the microbiome.
Yeh, check out huberman podcast.
i have to watch this for school
-_-
The spice melange
Is that a for real thing? Isn’t that from Dune?
We need the spice melange.
They know about the Spicy 👀
“Let the dog lick the kid”. Best quote I’ve heard in a long time. I just get sick of people who are disgusted by a dogs saliva. Shit...I feed my dog on my plate and give him food at tines from the fork I am eating from.
De spice melange!!!!!
Well, at least now we know there's something good out of Coprophilia and the Human Centipede movie
Ohmygosh. Nooo. Lol.
Nope. Not about that movie anyway.
Who else is here because of the nice folks from South Park Comedy Central? Raises 🤚 yeah... fuq me right?! Tom Brady’s house next?
They brought me back.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Spice melange...
Sorry our claps were weak.
We understand. Veganism has made you weak.
I swear before I fully read the thumbnail I thought it said Turd Salad. 💩 🥗
Does this work for ulcerative colitis ?
Yes, it works for crohn's disease and UC. You can do it at home. The hardest part is finding a healthy donor. Make sure they are not obese or unhealthy mentally and physically.
@@ps3862 im not doubting you but my childs GI doctor said it wont for UC, i dont know what to do...
@@deb220706 I have heard of it working for UC, but doesn't have success rate of Cdiff. I am actually thinking about going to Taymount clinic in UK. Getting it done for UC. I am not sure if it will work for long term or not, but willing to give it a shot.
It works but you have to do it long enough 6-12 weeks about several times a week. People got into remission, not needing any drugs anymore. In case you'll get stuck you can have more success with a different donor. You need the really strong strains that knock the bad stuff out. And not every donor has the optimal microbiome you'd need.
@@ps3862 Doesnt it cost 10k going to taymount clinic ?
South Park 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Tom brady poops do you need it?
Thanks extreme left-wingers. Your love of regulations is working out jussssstttt greeeaaattttt.
But don't you realize, right wingers don't believe in "science".
Uniparty! Any other display is theater. They are all working for corporations.
*vomits*
these mimes are annoying. for .005 percent of the population 20 percent if the screen is lost and adds significant distraction. why not translate for every language too. just libtard things.
it's closer to 20% of the population so 20% of the screen seems fair and i'm assuming it was the presenters choice as most Ted talks just have subtitles
Did it really affect you that much? I was happy to see that hard of hearing individuals could enjoy this information in the easiest way for them.
You're right. In cities like Salem they're more interested in feeling good about themselves than actually doing good. Obviously every word was typed out before being said and UA-cam does subtitles.
Nice talk. But as an actual MD specialised in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology, it is my opinion you should be arrested.
@El Muerto Because then they won't make money if people are healthy.
Typical MD response who doesn't look outside the box. Most MD'S are in with Big Pharma or the Food industry etc. Constantly pushing pills or Tell you to get an operation, Which line the Pockets of Doctors,Surgeons etc. Obviously there are times when Tablets, Operations etc do help.
@@TheFracturedfuture the best comment ❤️
Suggestion: Keep your hands out of your pockets; learn to use your hands as you speak. Otherwise, great talk.
Elizabeth Blane get a life. I hope you were paying attention to the info.
