From Don Sims
It was a great shame that Ken Green was ridiculed by his vet for suggesting a faecal enema for the treatment of his dog’s antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (29 October, p 23). Human physicians might have greeted the proposal with a little more understanding. The equivalent treatment has been shown to be effective in small numbers of people by researchers in Bergen, Norway, in 1998. Finding volunteers for larger-scale trials of the treatment might prove challenging, however.
