We are here to help. Our non-profit provides advocacy for patients and caregivers, education for healthcare providers and legal teams, and research into causes and cures for auto-brewery syndrome.
Auto brewery syndrome (ABS) is also known as gut fermentation, auto-intoxication, endogenous ethanol, drunkenness disease, and 酩酊 書 meitei sho. ABS starts with an overgrowth of fermenting yeast or bacteria somewhere in the gut, from mouth to rectum, and sometimes even in the urinary bladder. The fermenting organisms convert carbohydrates and sugars into ethyl alcohol, which enters the bloodstream and causes drunken symptoms. Often, the person is intoxicated well over the legal limit.
By donating to ABS research, you're making a noteworthy contribution to scientists striving for groundbreaking discoveries and potential treatments for auto-brewery syndrome. Your charitable giving could significantly influence the course of ABS research and improve the lives of patients around the world.
