Understanding Clostridium Difficile Infection (C. Diff) 

Well done indeed

@@waelfadlallah8939 thank you

Wow, that sounds like a really difficult journey. All the best wishes.

@@ZeroToFinals yes it was indeed. My father has adopted a carnivore diet like myself and has had great success in terms of increasing his EF to between 40 and 50 per cent. It's been an amazing transformation. His doctors prescribed statins, I told him to throw them away. His cholesterol was very low as was his triglycerides yet they insisted on giving him statins. He was on blood thinners, which I have told him to reduce as well as his dose of bisoprolol. His BP is now 125/67 and he no longer gets dizzy spells which the meds caused. His doctors dont understand that when on a carnivore diet, so many chemical changes occur. His doctors want to give him an SGLT2 but again I told him no. Why would any doctor prescribed that drug when it could cause a dangerous reactive ketoacidosis. Insane. Carbs and seed based oils are the most toxic substances anyone can eat. I encourage everyone to try the carnivore diet.

I'm very sorry about your father. I'm not a health professional. I am a daughter how carried her mother through C-diff twice and puenmonia with a MRSA which was all thanks to the hospital. I don't think doctors are the ones to blame. I don't think they realize where C-diff actually came from. I recall talking to a doctor about my mother taking antibiotics in pill form. She had an allergic reaction and thus had to do IV antibiotic teartment the doctors said, and I believe he was truthfull, "don't worry these antibiotics will kill everything." Now in my honest opinion I believe doctors were miss lead into believing this. They truly believe that C-diff is highly contagious. I on the other hand after spending every waking hour for over a month with my mom in the SNF while she was given the hair of the dog in liquid form to fight C-Diff. I never caught it. I believe C-Diff is induced by antibiotics. To much of a good thing is not always good. I'd love to see a study done on Vancomycin to see if it actually does kill all the bugs, good and bad. Here in America we now give probiotics to patients while receiving IV antibiotics. We are saving lives. However, I have recently discovered that they do not give probiotics to patients in the UK or Germany. I'm still waiting on a response from my cousin in Australia. I am trying to change that. Did you know that some pill form antibiotics also cause C-Diff? Please take probiotics with any type of antibiotics unless you are allergic to probiotics.

Glad it was helpful!

I would love to see a study on vancomycin and other IV antibiotics to see if they really does kill all bugs good and bad...Or does it, as I believe, let one bad bug run rampant in the intestines thereby causing C-Diff?

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good question. Yes, it certainly was used commonly in the past. I think it has fallen out of the guidelines as vancomycin and fidaxomicin are better

@@ZeroToFinals appreciate the clarification, thanks Tom 😊

I believe it's the good bacteria in a healthy gut that keeps these under control. When antibiotics are used and the microbiome is too compromised it gives the perfect environment for bad bacteria to flourish. Most people with healthy habits that keep their microbiome healthy won't notice but too much antibiotics for too long will overwhelm any healthy biome.

Yes

Good morning

What happened to your mother, did she take Fusion sachets?

​@@shesnaturebeauty2975 my mother took DIFICID. This is an antibiotic that kills those bad bug that was left to run rampant in the intestines.

@@KJ-zr2ko I am agree it's so dangerous Sachet
