Years ago, I saw a show about bee stings being used in the UK to treat (I think) arthritis.

I do believe that I've seen leaches successfully used under VERY specific circumstances (I think often amputations that are reattached).

I've also seen maggots that were raised in a sterile environment used with great success when treating infection which resulted in wounds that healed better than if they'd gone through surgery.

The poop stuff, do I think that some people benefit, sure. Should it be prescribed for everyone? Absolutely not. But for a tiny minority, it may work.
