Are you suffering from chronic diarrhea after antibiotics, and you have been told that you have C. difficile infection? Even when you are taking antibiotics, do you have relapses of watery diarrhea with a particular unpleasant smell of stool or blood or pus in your stool? Are you constantly tired? Do you have abdominal pain, fever, nausea and weight loss?
You are not alone. Researchers estimate that about half a million Americans annually suffer from antibiotic-related diarrhea caused by C. difficile.
C. difficile is also known as Clostridium difficile, CDF, C. diff, pseudomembranous colitis; antibiotic-associated colitis, necrotizing colitis. Some researchers and doctors call C. difficile superbug because it causes 30,000 deaths per year in the United States alone. An alarming fact is that antibiotics cannot kill the resistant species of this microbe.
Ten to fifteen percent of people have this germ in their intestines with no obvious symptoms. It is known that healthy people usually do not get sick from C. difficile. A healthy person has protection from this super bug.
C. difficile usually occurs in people after a course of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and usually affects people with a low immune system. The victims of this superbug are the elderly, young children, people after operations, radiation, chemotherapy, some medications, alcoholics, AIDS patients, etc. Before taking a broad-spectrum antibiotic, they felt quite well.
Doctors and researchers are unanimous that C. difficile infection occurs mainly after the destruction of the friendly intestinal flora with an antibiotic. The human gastrointestinal tract is a haven for more than 400 species of microorganisms. Most of them are friendly intestinal flora. By analogy with good tenants, they live in our body and "pay rent."
These friendly microorganisms help us digest food, remove toxins and cholesterol, strengthen our immune system, and have anti-cancer properties. The vital role of friendly intestinal flora is that it controls the growth of the so-called opportunistic infection. Opportunistic infections are microbes, Candida-yeasts, parasites, etc. They grow when they have the opportunity to grow; this usually happens when antibiotics destroy friendly flora.
C. difficile is a frequent opportunistic infection that lives in the human body in small quantities. There is a lot of controversy about this microorganism in water, air, food, hands, and the environment. Sick people are releasing a lot of these disputes around. Researchers have found that up to 20 percent of people who are hospitalized, and up to 50 percent of people in nursing homes carry C. difficile in their feces. However, many of them do not have dirrea or other symptoms. Therefore; hospitals and nursing homes are the most polluted sites in C. difficile, with possible outbreaks.
Conventional treatment with antibiotics and antifungal drugs does not prevent recurrence and leads to the development of clostridia forms that are resistant to antibiotics. The economic burden of this disease last year is estimated at 3.2 billion dollars. USA, and the number of sick people is growing every year.
For some people, it is strange that alternative medicine can be useful for this serious medical problem. Chronic diarrhea is not something new in medicine; He accompanies people for centuries, long before the era of antibiotics. Non-medicinal, natural methods have a long history of treating chronic diarrhea.
Let's look at my personal experience. For example, one dentist prescribed a strong antibiotic to a young woman. Three weeks later she got watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, high fever. The doctor was diagnosed with C. difficile colitis. She was constantly given antibiotics, but in any case she had several relapses. She had mucous and blood in her stool, she lost weight and felt badly tired and depressed. After six months of suffering, she decided to try drugs, a natural approach. Her MD supported and allowed her to discontinue antibiotics for a period of time.
The goal of its alternative treatment was to restore the natural mechanism that keeps healthy people from opportunistic infections, to combat the overgrowth of Candida yeast and SIBO-small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and intestinal infection. It is necessary to restore its friendly intestinal flora, proper digestion and increase its immunity, to fill the deficit of vital nutrients.
She started with an anti-Candida, alkaline diet. She took a large number of different strains of a person living with probiotics. She drank healing mineral water made from real thermal salt in Karlovy Vary, as well as many herbal teas. This young woman had multiple colon hydrotherapy sessions and relaxation acupuncture. She took minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, etc.
Much to the surprise of her doctor, her condition was significantly improved in three weeks. Her chair was normal, she gained weight, and she began to work. Her tests confirmed that she is free of Clostridia toxins. After five months there is no recurrence.
For many Americans, even for medical professionals, healing mineral water is unknown. Contrary to this, European doctors often recommend drinking healing mineral water, especially for digestive disorders and metabolism. Water from a hot mineral spring in the small Czech town of Karlovy Vary has been used for centuries. For people who could not visit this place, geyser water evaporated there for 250 years.
Dissolving the real thermal thermal salt of Karlovy Vary in plain water makes it possible to use this healing water at home. European doctors are well studying the healing mineral water Karlovy Vary. Minerals, bicarbonate and trace elements in water are useful in themselves for people with chronic diarrhea.
Water is a natural alkalizing agent; therefore, it improves liver and pancreas function. Read more about how acid kills the pancreas and destroys digestion can be found in my articles and the book Healthy Pancreas, Healthy. The Karlovy Vary medicinal mineral water promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, reduces irritation and inflammation, and normalizes stools in the case of chronic diarrhea.
In cases of chronic diarrhea, washing out toxins and wastes with an enema lasts a long time in the history of mankind. Currently, sophisticated equipment and well-trained staff make colon hydrotherapy safe and effective, non-medicinal for chronic diarrhea. Purification and purification of water washes away C. difficile and its toxins from the walls of the colon; therefore creates a healthy environment for multiplying beneficial bacteria.
Our predecessor sold herbs and spices for the price of gold. They knew that spices not only improve the taste of foods, but also prevent diarrhea (food poisons). Some authors believe that spices protect humanity from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. I think these researchers are correct. I firmly believe that the healing values of spices and herbs depend on their unique ability to destroy harmful bacteria and maintain friendly intestinal flora. My practical evidence for the use of herbs for chronic diarrhea supports this idea.
At the moment, thousands of patients with C. difficile after antibiotics use a common therapeutic approach to "find and destroy" strong antibiotics. Unfortunately, even the strongest antibiotics cannot completely solve this problem. Finally, a patient with chronic diarrhea associated with antibiotics caused by Clostridia difficile has the choice to restore the natural process that keeps healthy people from this superbug.
Non-drug alternative medicine methods work together with our body defense system and actually support it. The best result can be achieved through close cooperation between a doctor, a patient, his or her relatives, and a knowledgeable, licensed alternative medicine specialist.
