Is this satire? Did he really have a friend poop into his butt on whim?
FMT is at least a real process, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_bacteriotherapy. I don't think you quite captured how it's done in practice, though.
It's a real practice in hospitals with trained medical doctors. Not "in my apartment with a close friend."
