Eat **** and DON'T die...

About 30g (1oz) is taken and blitzed in a household blender with some salt water. This is poured through a coffee filter to leave a watery liquid.

Dr MacConnachie inserts a tube up the patient's nose and down to the stomach. Other doctors use a different route to the bowels.

About 30ml (1fl oz) of liquid is poured down the tube.

90% success rate.... bizarre.

From the article:
"He says it should be used, but only as a treatment of last resort."

I'd jolly well hope so

Makes sense; its only like putting decomposing road kill into a septic tank to give it a kick start after the missus knackered it by pouring too much bleach down the loo.

Yeah the theory seems sound, but what if they pull the tube back out and leave a few drips at the back of your throat :gag:

LOL, I HATE it when my Mrs has got the bleach out in France, I'm on tenterhooks until I can take it off her and dispose of properly. I'm scared stiff she'll forget and pour it down the loo or something: end of fosse septique

We keep some stuff to chuck down the loo at the start of each visit, it's called Eparcyl, and is available in all good supermarkets over there, costs around €5 for ten sachets.
I've partially solved the problem by buying her some wipes soaked in some sort of bleachy stuff.........
At least I KNOW they aren't going down the loo

I congratulate him for finding a cure for such a nasty problem.

If you suffer from it I imagine the treatment is no worse than having to have a complicated surgical operation, I bet most people would be prepared to undergo it anyway.
