Readers will love the information in this book, because the ‘gross-out factor’ is extremely high. Read about the various uses for poop and pee (animal and human) in the attempted cure of many ailments in history. The beauty of this book, though, is that the reader learns some really relevant and interesting medical stuff along the way. Medicines in different cultures used over hundreds of years have a great impact today to scientists and doctors in their study. Great stuff mixed in with the gross tidbits.
