Dig into the science of fecal microbial transplantation, where doctors transfer feces into a patient to help reset their gut microbiome.

1,700 years ago, Chinese alchemist Ge Hong was renowned for his soup that could cure diarrhea-stricken patients. It had a surprising secret ingredient: feces.

Suskind share the science of fecal microbial transplantation.
