Man With Perfect Poop Makes Good Money Donating It

You’ve probably heard of some pretty bizarre methods doctors have suggested to make people feel better but did you know that eating sh*t can actually be good for you?  We are not making this up!  It appears that as scientists have become more interested in the role bacteria plays in our health and well-being,  research has found that fecal transplants can actually help patients who are severely lacking in good bacteria by regenerating it. The method is particularly useful for fighting C-Diff infections,  as sometimes antibiotics can kill good bacteria in the gut and leave the harmful Clostridium difficile bacteria to do its worst – the infection kills 15,000 Americans a year. So, to help, “good poop” is actually administered to infected patients either through a colonoscopy or, crazier still, through a tube in the nose.

You read that right – the resident birds, which are all Aylesbury-type ducks, recently began disappearing from a feeding area that was specially-built to allow children to feed them. ‘DUCKS ON EARITH VILLAGE POND ARE BEING TAKEN AND IT’S NOT BY MR. FOX. FOUR DUCKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED WITHIN THE LAST WEEK. PLEASE KEEP A LOOK OUT,’ it reads. It turns out Ms Lambert has a theory – although she says she doesn’t want to ‘point the finger’. Earith lies in an agricultural area where many migrant workers are employed in the fields. ‘All I know is in different cultures the idea of capturing and eating wild fowl is quite normal,’ she said. ‘I suspect they have been taken for the pot, but their meat would be quite tough as they are all elderly.’ Parish councillor Ron Hodge agrees: ‘The thought is that it’s migrant workers who are taking them so they can eat them, but there’s just no way to prove it,’ he said. ‘There are a lot of agricultural workers around here.
