You can get paid $1,500 a month to donate your poop for a good cause

You could be flushing money down the toilet.

The GoodNature Program offers donors the chance to help others and cash in on their crap, literally.

Through the company’s stool donation program, poop is collected from healthy people who are compensated up to $1,500 per month — and the samples are then used to further research and develop treatments for serious diseases.

One of the goals of the GoodNature Program — a subsidiary of Seres Therapeutics, a biotechnology company and research facility — is to use the poop of healthy donors to advance therapies for infections with C. difficile bacteria.

C. difficile — commonly known as C. diff — can cause GI issues that lead to colitis, or inflammation of the colon. C. diff infections are considered a death sentence to liver patients, and up to 30,000 Americans die from chronic C. difficile infections every year.

Are you qualified to donate your poop?

Looking for some passive income? Not all poo will do. To participate in the program, donors must be nonsmokers of a healthy weight, between 18 and 46, with regular bowel movements.

Pregnant women, folks with diabetes, and those with a history of gastrointestinal disease or substance abuse need not apply.

In addition, potential poop participants must live or work near one of the company’s donation centers. They must be regular in every sense, as donors are expected to make a defecation deposit four to six times per week.

Participants are expected to donate for 6 months or more.

Those stinky samples are dropped off in an on-site restroom at one of the research facilities. Unlike other programs, mail-in donations — poo by post if you will — are not accepted.

In addition to providing poop, eligible donors are also subjected to blood draws once every two to six weeks.

What happens to your prized poop after collection?

A proprietary process is used to inactivate pathogens while isolating and preserving bacterial spores. A further inactivation process eliminates bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi.

Finally, preserved and purified bacteria spores are encapsulated for use as a microbiome therapy or for other research and development purposes.

These so-called “crapsules” have recently shown promise in treating everything from advanced cancer to deadly liver disease.

In addition to colitis, the therapy has also been investigated for a range of disorders, including Crohn’s disease — it’s even been tried as an “anti-aging” treatment.

This year, some Canadian cancer patients are testing a pill that contains healthy bacteria from human poop. And Mississippi high school football coach Tim Story was give just a few months to live with stage 3 small bowel cancer before turning to fecal transplant pills for treatment.

“I knew I was kind of a guinea pig, but the only other option was staying at home, and I wasn’t going to make it,” Story, now 53, told NBC News. He got lucky, his tumors vanishing until he was in remission.

As for GoodNature donors, one described the experience as “an awesome opportunity to make some extra cash and potentially contribute to a good cause.”
