In this joint presentation, Prof. Borody and Dr. Martin present a case of severe fistulizing Crohn’s disease which was healed with a combination of antibiotics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgery. Powerpoint slides follow the video.
Professor Thomas Borody is an Australian gastroenterologist who founded the Centre for Digestive Diseases in 1984 having trained at St Vincent’s in Sydney and the Mayo Clinic in the USA. He is best known for developing triple therapy cures such as Helidac and Pylera for peptic ulcers in 1984, which saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and later AMAT for Crohn’s and other diseases. As a practicing clinician, he has overseen since 1988 over 16,000 Fecal Microbiota Transplant procedures including the encapsulated format, creating a wealth of clinical data with potential to cure Crohn’s and UC.
Dr. Kathleen Martin is a United States gastroenterologist. She graduated from the Penn State University College of Medicine and has been in private practice since 1990, most recently practicing in Lexington, Kentucky since 2001.
