Show Summary “FMT, or Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, restores the gut with the proper bacteria, allowing the body to process food, obtain nutrition, and reset the immune system. By resetting the gut, the immune system improves, and the body can start to recover.”Your gut microbiome is a crucial part of your overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion to mood. But when it's out of balance, it can lead to a host of health issues.That's where Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) comes in. Despite its initial unappealing appearance, FMT has been making waves in the medical world for its potential to treat a range of gut disorders and autoimmune diseases.Our guest today is Dr. Shaina Cahill, a neuroscientist and Director of Medical Communications and Affairs at Novel Biome. She delves into the fascinating research and potential benefits of this innovative therapy and explores the science behind FMT and why the microbiome is critical to our health. In this episode, you'll discover how it can be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and even mental health disorders.Unlock the secret to optimal gut health.

"We have those two groups with the probiotics and the placebo. The patients were allocated to the two groups and it was double-blind so we didn't know if they took the probiotics or the placebo. They took it for four weeks and we did the assessments before the intervention and after the intervention and then we just compared. We compared how the trajectory of the depressive symptoms was in the two groups and this is the main effect that we found - that in the probiotics group the decrease of the depressive symptoms was greater than in the placebo group. In general, we were happy that all patients have decreased depressive symptoms, that is very important too, but the effect that we want to show is that the probiotics are better than the normal treatment."     Episode Description: We begin by describing the research findings which are that this is the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate that adjunctive short-term, high-dose probiotic supplementation reduces depressive symptoms more than placebo. We discuss the conflicting results of the two rating scales that were used to measure improvements and their implications for the outcomes. Anna-Chiara reports on the probiotic that was chosen and whether it led to the researchers themselves taking it. She emphasized the importance of one's diet and especially the role of fermented foods. We closed with her describing her earlier research that suggested that Fecal Microbiota Transplantation can be an effective form of treatment for severely depressed patients.    Our Guest: Anna-Chiara Schaub is a psychologist and Ph.D. student in the research group Translational Neuroscience at the University Psychiatric Clinics in Basel, Switzerland. In her project, she explores wide-ranging clinical and physiological effects of gut-related interventions in depression. Her research aims to stratify patients into more homogenous groups based on individual differences in multiple biomarkers to predict treatment responses. The findings of the project may also serve as the basis for further developments of novel interventions for patients with depression. 

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Nicole: Hi Dr. C! I have an Oura ring and get quite a lot of deep sleep, far above the average. Most nights I get over 3 hours of deep and it averages about 40% + of my sleep. I get normal amounts of rem, but was curious why I would get so much deep sleep. I am active and go to sleep around 9:30 most nights. Is there any negative reasons as to why my body would need so much deep sleep, or is it just more of a good thing? Thank you!!   Alicja: Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and your wisdom, my question is about sauna. If you could have sauna in your house, would you choose infrared sauna or regular dry sauna? I'm asking because I just bought a house and will make some changes to it. I want to add a sauna and I'm not sure if IFR sauna would be better than regular dry sauna. Thanks in advance for your answer.   Tina: It's 4 AM and I'm wide awake! I went to bed around 9:30 PM and between then and now I literally woke up about 8 different times. I 53 years old and I did the big five labs plus the gut and parasite test. My hormones are low, I did the 14 day functional detox, a liver and gallbladder flush, and currently I am five weeks into the CBO protocol. I'm also six weeks into the protocol that my IHP level two gave me to follow. I'm doing adrenal soothe, adrenal energy, DHEA, The deep sleep protocol, magnesium, etc., I'm following my protocols and I'm having very little to no relief. I did two different parasite cleanses. I did the mold test and I have zero mold in my body. I don't know what's going on with me. I just need to sleep! I am unplugging two hours before sleep. I'm doing deep breathing and meditation almost daily. I'm doing theta healing with a health practitioner to calm my sympathetic nervous system because my cortisol levels are all messed up. My cortisol is at its high right before I go to sleep at night and in the morning it's very low.I'm lost at this point and I don't know what to do. Of course I will keep going with my protocols and after 12 weeks I'm supposed to test my hormones again to see where my levels are. I just don't understand why I wake up at least 10 times a night.   Amy: After having C VIRUS 8 months ago, I noticed my underarm odor got a very strong "onion" smell. Previously, I had very light, to no, body odor. I haven't changed anything in my diet (I don't eat a ton of onions or garlic) or supplements. What could be causing this? I'm a healthy, 38 yr old female. Thanks!   Jo: Hello Dr. Cabral, My 12 year old daughter recently had blood test done and showed her DHEA elevated. It was 200 above their normal range and her prolactin was 2 above average range. She also has a noticeable mustache and hair on the upper and lower parts of her back (thin but noticeable). She started her cycle at 9 and still has irregular cycles. Curious as to what you would recommend for this. Can not get into an endocrinologist until July. Thank you.   Briana: Hi Dr. Cabral! I searched the podcast archive for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and found no results on the topic. Very interested to hear your thoughts/opinion on the procedure. Specifically in regards to how it may (or may not) benefit individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

Kristina Campbell is a Human Microbiome Writer, Documenting Gut Microbiota, Nutrition, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Fecal Microbiota Transplantation. Website: bykriscampbell.com "We've grown up and taken our health class in school and learned all the parts of our body. But then to think that's only half the story. That actually, at least half the cells are bacterial and not human at all, and they're invisible. That's something big to get your head around." On today's episode, Kristina sheds some light on what terms like microbiome and micriobiota actually are. Kristina and Konner discuss changing our ideas and paradigms about germs and bacteria. Not only that, Kristina lays out the incredible width of things that our microbiome can affect, ranging from overall mortality, to even the makeup of our brains. Lastly, and thankfully for everyone's sake, Kristina talks about things we can all do to assist our own microbiome, what is fact, what is fiction and how to avoid some of the people and products out there that are based on nonsense.

Can one man's waste be another's... treasure? And by treasure we mean medical treatment. Modern medicine has evolved quite a bit from what it used to be hundreds of years ago... but as it turns out, to treat certain aggressive gastrointestinal diseases (ie c difficile infections) we may have to revert to the ancient technique of ingesting fecal matter. In this episode, we chat with gastroenterologist Dr. Karim Qumosani and a chronic fatigue syndrome patient about fecal microbiota transplants. 

Seguro escuchas mucho de la flora o microbiota intestinal, y que puede influir en varios aspectos de la salud, y no sólo en el aparato digestivo. En este episodio comentamos algunas cosas interesantes que se presentaron en el Digestive Disease Week 2019, uno de los congresos médicos sobre el aparato digestivo más importantes a nivel mundial. Y específicamente hablamos sobre: ¿Cómo afecta la microbiota intestinal a la salud mental? ¿Cómo afectan los medicamentos y fármacos a la flora intestinal? ¿Pueden los probióticos servir para curar o mejorar varias condiciones o enfermedades? ¿Y qué hay del trasplante fecal, cuáles son sus riesgos a largo plazo?

Paul Smith, an artist and self-described workaholic, for years experienced weird and increasingly debilitating symptoms, that would come for periods of time and mostly or completely dissipate. Flu like symptoms, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, confusion - problems with his vision speech and balance - breathing problems where felt like he was suffocating These symptoms were so intense that at times Paul felt like he was going to die, and so he wrote letters to his children. Doctors dismissed his symptoms. Doctors labeled Paul with a somatization diagnosis, basically saying he wasn’t physically sick, just mentally.  For years, every doctor Paul went to about his debilitating physical symptoms would see the somatization diagnosis on the front page of his medical record, and dismiss Paul’s symptoms as being in his head. Then Paul developed a massive abscess next to his bowel and developed life threatening sepsis. The doctors couldn’t dismiss those facts. Paul received antibiotics for the sepsis and his other symptoms disappeared. Yet when that treatment ended and Paul fell sick again, the somatization diagnosis preceded him to every doctor and once they saw that label, any of Paul’s physical symptoms were dismissed.  But Paul did not give up. Eventually he found a couple of doctors - his ‘heroes’ - and he was finally and correctly - after 20+ years since the symptoms started - diagnosed with D-Lactic Acidosis, which is an over growth of bacteria in the gut, flooding Paul’s body with its neurotoxin. Paul thinks many other people with other diagnosis like ME/CFS or somatization, may also have bacterial over growth in their guts. Paul had to fight for years to get the harmful somatization label taken out his medical file. That label prevented Paul from receiving appropriate medical testing and treatment for years and Paul contends that the somatization diagnosis is in effect, a human rights violation. SHOW NOTES Fit, healthy and productive until... 0:06:45 Paul - very health child in Cheltenham (UK) - not into sport during school, but got into weight lifting as an adult - went to a very good school, good teachers 0:08:15 Studied art, European history, and sociology, A Level - later in his 30s did his degree in Fine Art, sculpture - but got an electronics job out of school - Foundation course important 0:10:45 After college started to have problems for the first time - different ways Paul could have developed chronic fatigue or ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) leading to D-Lactic Acidosis because he re-built 3 houses and exposed to pesticides - when he got really ill in early 90s - sprayed his loft with pesticides and that's when he had problems from that point - started cleaing up the loft space - had been treated many time over the years 0:11:45 House built in 1840s so lots spraying - when Paul got a broom to sweep up dust and debris he immediately fell ill - also using NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) during this period - symptoms fatigue, muscle pain - abnormal fatigue after activity - NSAIDs affect mucosal lining of gut and healing of gut - inhibit different synthesis - taking NSAIDs during working, rebuilding house, and working out 0:13:55 Bit of workaholic - damaged both shoulders and collapse a disc - at this point encountered the pesticides - a number of things contributing to his illness - using NSAIDs to push through and mask the pain 0:15:15 Developed bowel perforation with sepsis with D-Lactic Acidosis symptoms: overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine - sounds benign but isn't - Paul thinks there are many different types of bacterial overgrowth - like IBS - gut bacteria produce metabolites like D Lactic Acid - produces a neurotoxin D-Lactin would explain neurological symptoms in a lot of people 0:17:15 Paul had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and ME, but he believes bacterial overgrowth may be affecting others with those diagnoses - Australian researchers found high level bacteria in ME patients 0:18:00 Fell really ill in 1999 - developed infection and D-Lactic symptoms at same time - hard to tell apart in early stages as D-Lactic feels like infection - flu like symptoms, abodominal pain, muscle weakness, breathing problems due lactic acid in blood - visual problems, confusion, speech problems, balance problems - symptoms can fluctuate - can disappear and don't know why     Entering Hell   0:20:15 Symptoms so bad "thought I'd entered Hell" - expecting to die or commit suicide to escape suffering - only reason Paul didn't was because of his children - but had written letters so his children would know why he had committed suicide 0:21:30 Before got really sick in '99, medical system mostly useless - Paul did have raised CK (creatine kinase) levels - but given somatization diagnosis by psychiatrist even though had raised ALT levels 0:22:30 Raised CK shows muscle or heart problems - raised ALT shows problem with liver - Paul believes that a somatization is a human rights issue because an unreasonable diagnosis because its based on any one experiencing multiple changing symptoms with a period of 2 years - they are basically saying "if they can't find it, you're the problem" 0:23:45 D-Lactic Acidosis causes multiple changing symptoms - but when give a somatization diagnosis, doctors don't have to search for other causes and patient conveniently swept under the rug - they tell you your brain is manufacturing the pain and the symptoms - Paul was shocked, upset, scared with that diagnosis because he was so sick 0:25:00 NSAIDs caused a massive abscess next to his bowel - damage to mucosal lining and his lower bowel perforated but not found until 2003, more than 3 years since sepsis - then difficult to treat, still infected in 2006 0:27:30 Paul noticed his symptoms would abate when he took antibiotics - this was a clue D-Lactic Acidosis was causing symptoms - but could be treated with same antibiotic (metronidazole) that helped with sepsis - Paul kept telling them from 2003 that he had some other kind of infection even after sepsis eradicated 0:27:45 Paul's doctor noted for emergency doctors that Paul was 'drunk not drunk' because this were D-Lactic symptoms and not somatizing - but 'somatization' label was in his health record and took to 2017 to get it removed - had to fight hospital continuously to get it corrected even after they found the abscess 0:29:05 People with multiple changing symptoms will get somatization diagnosis - a highly prejudicial diagnosis - this is where it becomes a human rights abuse 0:30:45 Psychiatrist (MD Allen J. Francis) has written a lot about misdiagnosis - he wrote "Mislabeling medical illlness as a psychological disorder" - he has blog that outlines harm from somatization Brother's betrayal 0:31:30 Paul had a good doctor who said he wasn't somatizing but other doctors took the somatization label seriously - in the UK there is a document called Your Significant Medical History - the first document a doctor will see, highly influential and prejudicial - Paul steered clear of psychiatrists and was not sectioned 0:32:45 Paul was left in danger because of somatization label - he had a sepsis infection with periods of shock - but D-Lactic symptoms really serious with breathing issues, felt like Paul was suffocating at times - can have normal oxygen levels in your blood because D-Lactic affects mitochondria 0:34:15 Couldn't work - if Paul tried his energy levels would crash quickly - breathing problems, weakness, very ill - remembers trying to do things when he was ill, dizzy - Paul partially bought into the idea he must have psychological problems because that's what the doctors kept saying - so he kept pushing his body, making himself sicker - could end up in bed for weeks - had oxygen tank at home - but couldn't recover 0:37:30 Paul's brother is a doctor - he told everyone in their family that it was all in Paul's head and they all turned their backs on Paul - he was shocked how people treated him when he fell ill, even when he went asking for their help - people would just ignore him 0:38:45 But Paul did have a good doctor who believed Paul was physically sick and got him to see neurologists but they just said it was somatization - 2 of them noted that he had D-Lactic illness but did not comprehend - D-Lactic Acidosis is a hidden problem - normally associated with Short Bowel Syndrome 0:39:45 Dr Luke White gastroenterologist believes D-Lactic Acidosis is much more common then being diagnosed - Dr White believes that any one with bacterial over growth can develop D-Lactic Acidosis - Paul says a lot of people with ME/CFS have bacterial over growth - and still much research to be done 0:40:45 Paul eventually got a diagnosis from Dr Malcolm Hooper and Dr Sarah Myhill - but NHS (National Health Services) cut off Paul's benefits before Dr Myhill could order the tests - Paul considers both doctors to be his heroes - and wouldn't have made it without Dr Hooper - Paul positive response to antibiotics was the clue to D-Lactic - when his GP retired he left Paul a big supply of antibiotics to treat himself - and Paul realized he was on his own and started to investigate Expecting to die 0:42:45 By 2016 Paul was expecting to die as he was developing reistance to the antibiotics - very worried so looked further - found D-Lactic Acidosis by chance after a conversation with Professor Hooper about fermented gut - when natural gut bacteria build up in small intestine they cause production of D-Lactic and imbalance occurs 0:43:30 Antibiotics failing, Paul had written his will - but in his research he found a list of symptoms for D-Lactic Acidosis and knew immediately that is what he had and made an appointment with a D-Lactic specialist - Paul took his records and symptom list and his positive response to anitbiotics 0:45:00 Specialist quickly diagnosed Paul and said it may have been the cause of his symptoms for the last 20 years - Paul was given a diet that restricted consumption of carbs and sugars thereby decreasing production of D-Lactic neurotoxin - so can control symptoms without antibiotics 0:47:15 A number of auto immune illness patients also do well on low carb / sugar diets - Paul says D-Lactic can damage the gut causing auto immune problems - Paul says D-Lactic is an infection, but doesn't raise your temperature because they don't get into the blood stream like a normal infection - but the metabolites do exit the gut and cause symptoms - but small quantities will damage mucosal lining and cause an immune response - bacterial overgrowth may be causing a lot of problems 0:48:00 Antibiotics can select for certain types of bacterial over growth - they can also cause over growth through resistance - treating live stock in our food system with antibiotics can also 'train' bacteria to be resistant - high carbs + antibiotics + NSAIDs maybe contribute to bacterial over growth 0:49:30 Paul was able to use antibiotics until he became resistant - antibiotics are primitive way of dealing bacterial over growth - he's hoping to get a fecal transplant to completely reverse the condition - he's had some temporary success with probiotics, but it is complex and he needs help, but is not getting it from health system 0:51:00 Just E Coli has both helpful and unhelpful forms, so too do gut bacteria - but nobody explored and mapped gut biome - Paul has to do own research just to keep himself alive     Lucky to be alive   0:52:00 Paul believes D-Lactic Acidosis may have already caused some deaths since it is a multi systemic neruological illness - Paul is fighint the NHS and the Hospital - he's asked them to investigate but they don't want to - the local NHS is fighting Paul tooth and nail - and his brother / physician believes his doctor colleagues somatization label in spite of acknowledging they only get 10 minutes with a patient - the somatization label negatively impacts subsequent health care 0:53:45 In spite of abnormal blood results, 2 psychiatrists labeled somatization diagnosis - making life difficult and no doctor would take Paul seriously, even in emergency room - other doctors requested blood gas testing but it was ignored for years because of somatization label on front of his medical records 0:55:30 Paul was very 'lucky' to get a proper D-Lactic Acidosis diagnosis, very lucky to have met Professor Hooper - Paul believes others will also have been misdiagnosed - people with IBS and other bacterial growth as some Australian researchers have found 0:56:55 Getting D-Lactic Testing is 2 stages: first is testing for bacterial over growth from a gastroenterologist - symptoms would include bloating, burping, production of a lot gases, abdominal pain, and problems from food with carbs - Paul needs to keep his carb consumption low 0:58:45 2nd step far more difficult - Paul is one of few who has been diagnosed - so will have to be pushy with gastroenterologist for further testing for D-Lactate - possible through Dr Sarah Myhill - definitely worth the expense - and ask for D-Lactic gastrenterologist specialist 1:00:30 Fecal matter transplant is using 'poo' from a healthy super donor to put back into the ill person's body the healthy bacteria - Paul hopes to pursue it and has done some research and there are cases of reversal via FMT - Paul is getting further testing - and is pioneering his own diagnoses and treatment 1:02:30 Paul has had to transform himself from a sculptor to a medical researcher - Paul says a lot of other people also unwell so he's trying to get as much info out to others 1:03:25 Paul thinks there other forms of bacterial over growth beyond D-Lactic and its metabolites - that research needs to be done so others can get diagnosis and treatment     Research   Increased d-lactic Acid intestinal bacteria in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19567398Fecal   Microbiota Transplantation for Fibromyalgia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316564507_Fecal_Microbiota_Transplantation_for_Fibromyalgia_A_Case_Report_and_Review_of_the_LiteratureMislabeling   Medical Illness As Mental Disorder https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/dsm5-in-distress/201301/bad-news-dsm-5-refuses-correct-somatic-symptom-disorder   _____________________     Scott Simpson -
