Beskrivning

When conventional bipolar medications fail or cause disturbing side-effects, could the answer lie in our gut? Jane Dudley suffered from severe bipolar disorder for twenty years until a radical microbiome treatment changed everything. Under psychiatric supervision, she underwent fortnightly faecal microbiota transplants and recovered completely within a year, remaining symptom-free for over seven years.Leading bipolar expert Professor Gordon Parker believes we're witnessing a psychiatric revolution. His groundbreaking book A Gut Mood Solution explores the gut-brain-mood connection, drawing on respected research to explain how faecal transplants could control bipolar disorder in treatment-resistant patients. Parker addresses both the promising evidence and practical health considerations of this emerging therapy.
