Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried a Fecal Transplant as a cure for ALS?

The Wikipedia article on Fecal Transplant say it may be of benefit for certain neurological conditions, but it doesn't say anything beyond that.

Thanks!

Jim
 
It sounds like a load of poo to me Jim.
 
i went a symposium on it 2 years ago. fecal transplant has only been proven to cure c-diff and then it has to be spouse to spouse. not sure where Wikipedia got that info. but i would do alot more research
 
Not for treatment of ALS.
 
I would encourage you to do more research. It sounds like a reasonable thought.
 
Not really.

ALs is a motor neuron disorder--not one of infection.
 
What I know about fecal transplants is that they are a cure for a condition of the gut caused by too much antibiotic use. They are a relatively new discovery. I never heard anything about them related to neuromuscular disorders.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever read.
Treating a Neuromuscular disorder with...that?
