most human bodily waste can be used for fertilising if it is diluted (not sure about vomit - bit acidic methinks).

Urine can be used directly, but not the first pee of the day - and if you're worried about yours or your dog's pee being too acidic, add some vinegar to his/your water.

Faecal matter can be used as long as it has been composted, or burnt first (coincidentally, i found out at the weekend that the ash from burning horse manure is better for the garden than the manure).

Menstrual blood can also be diluted and used - there are lots of females with fantastically healthy houseplants due to a monthly dose. I know of someone who's house plants suffered terribly whilst she was pregnant because they were denied their treats...

Well now my mind bogles.
I think I should sit down and shut up after that one.
