I have nothing to add on this procedure, but fecal transplant turned out to be remarkably successful, so it makes sense that researchers would want to try again here.
According to Wikipedia, fecal transplant was used as far back as 4th century China, with the modern treatment dating back to 1958. A 2013 study on the procedure was stopped early due to the high effectivness (81% cured after 1 procedure, 90% cured after 2).
