Talk:Fecal bacteriotherapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A well written text, but some major POV biases, unfortunately. I don't think fecal enemas are considered promising therapy for UC or CD in the GI community. Maybe for PMC, but as last ditch therapy. -- Samir धर्म 09:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I beg to differ, it is a valid alternative, and since it has not yet been sufficiently researched (but has shown some extraordinary results), I think it is fair to call it promising. It is interesting though that this procedure may have much of the same theoretical background as another new treatment, helminthic therapy, so who knows, in a few years new knowledges may arise from lessons learned here. In any case, I have no objections if you want to add something or NPOV it if you feel it is too biased, so please, be bold ;-) Dr.Gonzo 03:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference?

The external links do not exist or discuss fecal therapy. Is there a current reference other than an isolated paper in 1958? Kd4ttc 00:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, if you bothered to look you would see the current references in the "publications" section of the web site. This is the website of the clinic doing the research, so I think it's relevant. I'm putting it back, along with direct links to the articles (.pdf format). --Dr.Gonzo 00:23, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

There is an updated article with many references. This is now considered 'mainstream' as more doctors use this method around the world. Take a look. http://patients.uptodate.com/topic.asp?file=gi_dis/32751

Interesting, do you have a link to the full article? --Dr.Gonzo 22:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
