Should pitching woo be a bannable offense on DU?

30. And the "woo" of yesterday being science today

Fecal transplants for the treatment of C. Diff or IBD

Clinical study results have been positive. Some people who have had multiple C. diff infections have realized benefits from the therapy hours later, have been cured of their symptoms within 24 hours, and have had no further infections.

As research continues, experts expect that fecal microbiota transplantation could become a primary therapy not only for C.diff infection, but also for inflammatory bowel disease. It even holds promise for treating conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Parkinson’s disease.

three of our families' doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are among the panel of experts identifying the key innovations of the year, including one involved in this work - and effectiveness, based on a meta-analysis of all of the studies reported in pubmed, originally published in English, is around 90%.

(Fecal transplants are one of the "science experiments" (in the words of a response to a post in another of today's threads) which my daughter and I have been researching since before it gained more mainstream respect recently).
