Professor Thomas Borody

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)

Professor Borody is most famous for his ground-breaking work developing the triple therapy cure for peptic ulcers in 1987, which has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and the Australian health system more than $10 billion in medical care and operations.

Professor Borody founded the Centre for Digestive Diseases (CDD) in 1984 after a distinguished career with leading hospitals including St Vincent’s in Sydney and the Mayo Clinic in the USA.

He is a world-renowned leader in the clinical microbiota dating back to 1988 when he started performing what is now called Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT).

Professor Borody holds over 150 patents in areas such as; treatment of Helicobacter pylori, Crohn’s disease, bowel lavage, IBS and FMT.

As a practicing clinician leading the CDD in Australia, he has overseen over 12,000 FMTs, creating a wealth of proprietary clinical data and insights.

Inflammatory disease and infection

In addition, Dr. Borody has established novel therapies in the gastrointestinal field, including areas such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, CDI, parasite infestation, and resistant Helicobacter pylori via a bismuth-based ‘Triple Therapy’.

This show will give you a deep understanding of the bowels and the stomach , here are some bullet points

It is all about the microbiome of the gut, 100 Trillion cells 

No such thing as good and bad bacteria

Infections, toxins cause the problems

Many “diseases” have been connected to, not in full blown peer reviewed studies, but clinically to the gut biome

Fecal transplants have been proven to deal with the most dangerous infections, C Difficile infection

Fecal transplants have shown to help dramatically in many chronic digestive issues

Vaccines effect the tissues, not the microbiome as suggested

Dr. Borody has never come across a probiotic that works as they most all get blasted in the tummy acid

He describes his assessment of common acid reflux and GERD issues

In Dr. Borody’s opinion the widespread meme of we loose stomach acid with age and should supplement with HCL is wrong

Real effective fecal transplant through capsules is not far away, possibly 2020

There is lots here and totally gets gut geeky…so dig in and learn some things.

Inclined Bed therapy is very good for many digestive issues

Some emails:  

Would poo from an  un-vaccinated baby be good fecal transplant material

Professor Thomas Borody mentioned “colonization resistance” and I was wondering if there were certain foods he recommends people eat to provide pre-biotic fiber that supports the colonization of microorganisms beneficial to human health and NOT the spreading of pathogenic bacteria?

Does Professor Borody have any natural recommendations for removing larger parasites like tapeworm, hook worm, liver flukes, etc.?
