“Let’s inject shit into their brains, that’ll cure ‘em!”
Dr. J. Paul Muizelaar and Dr. Rudolph J. Schrot, from the University of California-Davis decided fecal matter was a great way to boost immunity. Their patients, one man and two women, all had highly malignant brain tumors. The doctors decided that injecting them with fecal bacteria might jump-start their immune systems.
The three patients did not respond well to the treatment — all three died from infections caused by the fecal matter injections.
