Johns Hopkins researchers injected a modified bacteria common in feces and soil into the oxygen-free zones at the interior of tumors of 16 dogs and one human. Cancers were decreased significantly and in some cases the dogs became cancer free. Novel idea, one of many inventive new approaches which are showing some promise. Basically it's a toxic bacteria that thrives in oxygen-free environments. The researchers modified the bacteria to be a little less toxic, and then let it loose causing a chain reaction leading to the patients body to do a better job fighting off the bacteria and the cancerous tumor.

It is a bird, with poison, proof of God's love.

During a study of the toxicity of the genus Pitohui, two specimens of this species have been tested. One of the two specimens did have traces of batrachotoxins (BTXs) similar to those found in the secretions of Central and South American poison dart frogs

Discover magazine had a long article a few months back - worth looking up. A bit gross, but fascinating. Hygiene is important, but it's been hypothesized we overdo it to the point where we are destroying natural defenses.

It's a crazy world now. Not only are fecal transplants becoming more common, but there are now robogut's to make artificial poop for transplantation.
