It was first used in treatment in China in the 4th century. It has been used in veterinary medicine for a long time to prevent "salmonellosis" disease in chickens. It was first used on humans in 1958.
This treatment aims to replace the disease-causing bacteria in the intestines with "harmless" bacteria, or rather beneficial bacteria, and to complete the missing bacteria in the flora.
How is Stool Transplantation? Is it done?
Microbiota can be obtained from the patient's relative, but it is not necessary; What is important is that the donor's intestines are free of C. difficile and other pathogenic bacteria and parasites. If a healthy donor is selected, there is no risk of transplantation. In the method, the donor is examined; Blood and stool tests are performed. The donor should not be a patient or carrier of viral hepatitis or HIV, should not have used antibiotics in the last 3 months, should not have a tattoo or piercing, and should not have questionable and risky sexual intercourse. The donor must not have a history of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, morbid obesity, constipation, spastic colitis, chronic diarrhea, chronic fatigue syndrome, metabolic syndrome, hereditary allergy, and must not have received immunotherapy. Stool taken from a healthy donor is processed and filtered with special serums and solutions, without keeping it for a long time and without contact with air, in an airless environment, without using metal materials because it has bactericidal properties, in order to prevent the anaerobic bacteria rate and balance from being disrupted. Shortly after the prepared balanced microbiota is taken, the microbiota is planted on the intestinal wall by passing through the duodenum through endoscopy, without contacting the stomach acid, and by spraying it into the small intestine or the right side of the large intestine with a colonoscope.
In practice, the number of sessions depends on the disease. In some diseases, a single session is performed, in others, 3-4 sessions are performed, while in some diseases, repeated transplantations are required at intervals of several months. By healing the completely unhealthy intestinal flora, transplantation ensures that the diseases caused by the flora disorder are cured and the complaints disappear.
Fecal Transplantation: For Which Diseases?
The intestines are the most important organ of the immune system. 70 percent of immune cells are found in the intestines. central s There is an effective communication network and strong connection in both directions between the nervous system and the intestines. Since 80 percent of the happiness hormone serotonin is produced in the intestines, the intestines are given the importance of the second brain. If the balance of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora is disrupted (Dysbiosis), diseases occur. Intestinal flora is disrupted after excessive, unnecessary, incorrect and insufficient use of antibiotics, improper nutrition or severe diseases. Cl.Difficile disease, which does not recover for years thanks to the intestinal flora repaired by stool transplantation and is thought to have an important aggravating or initiating role in the intestinal flora disorder, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, spastic colon, chronic diarrhea, colitis, constipation, allergic rhinitis, eczema, psoriasis, obesity, metabolic Very positive results are obtained in the treatment of diseases such as disease, Diabetes, Arthritis, Chronic fatigue syndrome, hereditary allergy (Atopy), Asthma, FMF (Familial Mediterranean Fever), fatty liver, Fibromyalgia, Hypercholesterolemia, ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). In the near future, there is hope in the treatment of neurological diseases such as MS, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, migraine, autism, anxiety and depression, which are predicted to be triggered by stool transplantation due to the deterioration of the intestinal flora.
If the intestines are sick, the whole body is sick.
Researchers have proven that neurological and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, hashimato, depression, autism, MS, Parkinson's, and psoriasis also worsen due to deterioration of intestinal health.
