Swap chugging down one brown liquid for another:

Obviously, small study, etc., but part of a growing body of literature showing how the gut biome has effects throughout the body.

I had a problem with alcoholism for a while. My second wife drank too much. Divorce was the only cure available and it worked wonders.

One "Tossed Salad" coming up! ;-)

Really interesting! I hope it is effective in future trials.

I think that clinical trial is full of <expletive>

Seriously, fecal transplant saved the lives of our Parvo puppies last year.
Also, it was not ingested. It was inserted into the rectum.

Is coprophagia in dogs still the correct term for feces-eating?
I'm amazed at the scientific "advances" since I quit drinking the hard way back in 1993.
Actually, quitting smoking was just as bad and I was about to start calling small town enforcement agencies to see if I paid all expenses (and hinted at a re-election campaign contribution), would they throw me in their pokey for, say, 5 days, to desmokify me.
Can't recommend that for drinking, since I never actually tried it for smoking.
I finally just balled up, gritted my yellowed teeth, stocked up on every imaginable consumer item (except cigarettes), and stayed in the house for a week. Toughest part was finding a dried out unsmoked cigarette in the couch cushions and flushing the g-damned thing down the john instead of lighting "just one." But maaaan, that was close.
So yeah, quitting drinking was really tough, too, especially since then-Wife2 still drank. She went to the big bar in the sky in 2007 to DIP (Drink In Peace).
I figure my next drink will kill me.
Terry, friend of Bill's, 230RN, and where's my 27-year chip?

Not surprised really. But I think I'll stick to my probiotics.

it was on the news recently, well, the drive to work right wing extremist news radio i listen to at 0530.
but it was for losing weight, not alcoholism.
I just celebrated 25 years of sobriety.
if it works, awesome, i also had to do it the hard way.
out of alcohol/weed/ciggs - the most difficult was ciggs, that was brutal to quit 0 so i did that first

Agreed. That's why I brought it up in a booze thread. At least they don't deliberately add additional addictive substances to booze. Not that either is easy.
