“Finding the very remedy described by Galen himself was both a great surprise and a source of immense excitement for us,” Atila added.
That’s probably the happiest anyone has ever been to find an ancient jar of poop.

A source of immense excrement
There is a gastrointestinal issue that uses poop as the fix in modern medicine. It's all about the application.
A doctor in Ajax Ontario saved a man who was dying of a antibiotic resistant infection. He made a poo milkshake to colonize the infection with other microbes. Once the resistant bacteria were outcompeted by the fecal sourced regular bacteria, a regular course of antibiotics cleared the dude up.
Yeah, fecal transplants are a legitimate medical procedure.
It's still used today to transfer healthy gut bacteria in case someone needs.
Anyone need some fresh medicine on their chests?
Good prices and fast service!
