The enema of your enemy is your friend

Abstract

Intestinal flora, called as microbiota, when disturbed has been associated with many GI and non‑GI diseases,[2] such diseases include, Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation and a host of others. Since the microbiome (the good bacteria that reside peacefully in the human body) plays an important role in cellular immunity and energy metabolism an imbalance in microbiota is also implicated to play a role in non‑GI disorders such as autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, and some neuropsychiatric disorders.
