[My son] went from spending every day in pain, to hardly ever being in pain anymore.

ACT was honored to have special guests, Tim and Kathy Wise, and their family join us at Growing Hope. Tim contracted a life-threatening, fulminant C. difficile infection and would not have survived without microbiota transplants. Dr. Khoruts who treated Tim, stated that Tim was “arguably the toughest fulminant colitis case I’ve had in my career in over a decade.” Tim's wife Kathy shared, “I feel God sent Dr. Khoruts to us not only to save Tim, but to save me too… In total during this process, my husband was diagnosed with West Nile Disease, Encephalitis, Aspiration Pneumonia, C. difficile infection fulminant and very severe, inflammation of the colon, medical sepsis and profound shock. Tim is still recovering making small improvements and gaining back pieces of his independence, including recently starting driving again. One thing that will stick in my mind is Dr. Khoruts shared, ‘if only we would have seen him a week sooner’. If only someone would have told us. This is my testimony of Growing Hope.”

I had a positive experience receiving FMT as part of a clinical trial for Crohn's Disease and am working towards total remission.
