They have upset the balance of our microbiome and laid us open to a whole host of 'incurable' illnesses, not just gastric conditions but Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Crohn's Disease and many more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is hope. If we are smart and swift, we can repair the damage. In 1988, Professor Borody performed the first Faecal Microbial Transplants (FMT) in Australia. He gave his patient back her life and livelihood. Hundreds of thousands more FMTs have taken place since then, worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight now, there is a desperate need for more research and more large-scale clinical trials.
