positive effect
Performing a fecal
microbiota transplant is
where fecal bacteria from a
donor will be introduced in

inner biome.

Eliminate the primary harmful action by adding it

to another harmful action to resolve the problem

neutralize the acidity of local
anesthetics like lidocaine

Amplify a harmful factor to such a

degree that it is no longer harmful
Using pressure clamp to keep
wound closed. Clamp does
damage because its a lot of
pressure but it stops it from
bleeding too much.
