Question 1

Can my child get FMT while on The Nemechek Protocol?

Accepted Answer

I do not recommend FMT (fecal microbiota therapy) in general. FMT has no direct effect on bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine nor on the primed M1-microglia within the brain.  As such, FMT will predictably have minimal effect on the restoration of neuronal pruning, neuronal migration, and cellular repair. I do not recommend FMT to my pediatric patients. Many children under my care have received FMT and it did not seem to improve their pace of neurological recovery.
