Re: C-Difficile [GI] illness - antibiotics and acids
Acid should be high in the stomach, of course, thats how food is digested.
Acid conditions through the gut seem to help ward off diseases - I agree with that too, from what I've read lately.
HEY ! - The news about C-Diff keeps coming. This week they said the diarrhea caused by anti-biotics allowing infection with C-Difficile bacteria IS CURED with the "Acidophulous Milk" they have been trying out in Quebec Hospitals.
That is two items of interest -
1] that they would try out a non-patented non-pharmaceutical supplement in a hospital in Canada where no natural products or methods are used anymore in favour of patented pharmaceuticals. American hospitals too.
2] that Acidopholous supplements can take away the diarrhea and the cramps and all that with C-Difficile.
But this is just plain great news to see they are using natural processes after all these years. Acidopholous to cure deadly diarrhea that has killed many people this year and last, diarrhea caused by a pharmacy favorite,
Antibiotics .
Up until this trial, they would use more powerful antibiiotics to cure C-Diff. That would cause more problems often too. This is a huge deal to see them move to Acidophoulous.
But other doctors were saying it wasnt that at all, it was just co incidence and they wont be using acidopholous in their wards, harrrummmph. Let the patients die of diarrhea realted complications instead of using a ntural supplement is what is going on there then. And that had been the case for years in many many illnesses. Death is no big deal to them, they have to have that outlook to be a doctor, they are trained that in med schools.
It really is true, but you may have to go thru something yoursefl to allow yoursefl to see it. I am serious, its hard to accept, really hard, but we do know the are letting people suffer greately and then die needlessly, they just needed a supplemental therapy.
Lookit - it is obvious that SOME alternative therapies work. Yet exactly NONE of them are used by mainstream medicine, by the ones - the only ones - with the actual legal authority to treat disease. So they ignore the medical answers at their fingertips and let people suffer.
When the alternative therapies are given a trial like this one, they are shut out anyway. Just watch and see if it actually become a standard treatment for C-Diff's deadly bowel problems. When hell freezes over maybe.
