What are your thoughts on the transplantation of intestinal bacteria (flora)?<\/h2>\nOf course, the most important things to do are to improve diet, nutrition, and living environment.\nHowever, even so, it is often the case that symptoms and illnesses are intractable and do not improve or are not cured.\n\nAt that time, we believe that the transplantation of intestinal bacteria (plexus) is one important option and can be a fundamental solution to the disease.<\/strong>\n

What did you think when you learned about the transplantation methods recommended by the study group?<\/h2>\nCompared to clinical trials conducted by various universities for inflammatory bowel disease, I was shocked to learn that the Shimizu-style intestinal flora transplantation has a much better implantation rate and an extremely short implantation speed.\n

What are the future possibilities for the transplantation of intestinal bacteria (flora)?<\/h2>\nCurrently in Japan, cancers, lifestyle-related diseases, autoimmune diseases, and mental illnesses continue to increase with the development of Western medicine. We have always thought that we must take some different countermeasures and approaches rather than the conventional ways of dealing with these diseases.\n\nThe preventive medicine approach of improving diet, nutrition, and living environment is very important in terms of preventing disease. However, at the stage when a disease has already occurred, it is very important to reset the internal environment as quickly as possible.\n\nIn this case, we believe that the transplantation of intestinal bacteria (plexus) is a very promising option as a treatment for various diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and psychiatric disorders.\n

What are the future activities of the study group?<\/h2>\nWe would like to spread the word to the general public as well as medical professionals that this treatment is an option.\n\nTo this end, we would like to actively conduct clinical research, present at conferences and write papers, as well as hold seminars and lectures for the general public.\n\n
