It has become widely known that the balance of gut microbiome is closely related to our health and the development of disease. In order to restore this balance, there are growing expectations for a therapeutic method of transplanting intestinal bacteria (flora) from healthy people. NanoGAS®-FMT, which utilizes nanobubble technology, has succeeded in effectively establishing the intestinal bacteria (plexus) of a healthy donor.
This is a less burdensome transplantation method that does not use drugs or endoscopes. Safe stools managed by a donor bank dedicated to transplantation are purified using our proprietary technology. From the medical examination to post-transplant follow-up, our trained affiliated medical institutions will propose a transplant plan tailored to each individual patient. If you wish to have a fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT), please contact each medical institution directly. ( Click here for a list of medical institutions that can perform transplants )
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Other Initiatives
We developed a new intestinal transplantation method about 15 years ago, and since then we have performed transplants in various patients using this method under free medical care. We started working on ASD in 2018 and propose a transplantation plan adapted to each ASD child and each individual’s condition, and with the consent of the parents, we are now working on the transplantation of children with ASD.
Intestinal flora is the ecosystem of bacteria living in the intestines. Research is beginning to show that the presence of intestinal bacteria is essential for people to live a healthy life. If the diversity of intestinal flora is lost due to lifestyle or stress, or if the balance is too far from the general balance, it can cause various diseases. Learn more about gut flora.
What is a fecal microbiota transplantation?
It is not easy to restore the gut flora to its original state once it has collapsed. In order to restore the balance of gut microbiota that have collapsed, there are growing expectations for a treatment method that involves transplanting gut microbiota from healthy people. (Scientific name: fecal microbiota transplantation, FMT) Learn more about gut FMT
Is there any progress on fecal microbiota transplantation research around the world?
The earliestfecal microbiota transplantation is said to have been performed in China in the 4th century. In the West, research has been conducted since a 1958 report on pseudomembranous enteritis. In 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) positioned fecal microbiota transplantation as the treatment of first choice when multiple drugs are resistant to Clostridium difficile infection, and the effectiveness of these transplants is being medically proven. They have also shown favorable results against ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome, and are being studied as a treatment for other diseases.
