Freeze-dried feces pills called ‘crapsules’ to be taken by patients in clinical trial
Pills Made from Freeze-Dried Poop Could Help Patients with Advanced Liver Disease
Individuals with cirrhosis, a condition involving severe scarring and damage of the liver, have higher levels of “bad” gut bacteria that make them more susceptible to infections.
Researchers are hoping that pills containing feces with “good” bacteria of healthy individuals will improve the gut health of patients with cirrhosis and reduce the need for antibiotics.
The tasteless and odorless pills are called “crapsules.”
The trial is expected to have about 300 participants.

California man sentenced to more than 6 years in cow manure Ponzi scheme
A California man was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison for duping investors. He told them he was using cow manure to create green energy.
After pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud, he admitted to defrauding investors out of $8.75 million by falsely telling them he was building machines called anaerobic digesters, which use microorganisms to break down biodegradable material and turn it into methane.
Investors were told they would receive 66% of the profits from this process along with tax incentives. However, he never actually built any anaerobic digesters. Instead, he used the money for personal expenses, including Dodge Ram pickup trucks, two plots of land, and a 3,700-square-foot custom-built house.
In addition to his sentences he was ordered to pay $8.75 million in restitution to his victims.
Talk about selling BS.
