> A2: 1. To treat C. Diff colitis:

>

> Flagyl works about 70% of the time,

> Increase dose

> if diarrhea occurs. May take up to 18 caps in 24 hours.

> Also give during the C.Diff antibiotic treatment mentioned above, and 1-2

> caps daily

> for a few months.

>

> Other acidophillus/bifidus preps can also be quite good, but SBO's are the

> best.

> Prescript-Assist was designed to be given out with each antibiotic Rx,

> hence the name.

> It can be obtained at: www.safermedical.us

> A4: I had this 4 years ago after Colon cancer (3rd stage). It was after

> the take down of the Colonostomy and Illiostomy. I was on quite a few

> natural supplements provided by my Naturopathic Doctor at that time. The

> best thing for me was the Ultra Flora Plus DF powder and Cal-apitate plus

> from Metagenics and also the vitamin Ae mulsion forte and D mulsion from

> Biotics Research. These where the only ones that truly got me back to

> health – it was a bit rough for 6 months, but I never had it since that

> time. I hope that helps some - that is really horrible to go through.

> A10: The probiotic Sacchromyces boularrdi (probably not the exact

> A11: Dear Doctor,

> I’ve never seen a colitis case that didn’t have an active Candida albicans

> A12: I have treated two patients with a 3-year history of chronic C.

> Difficile diarrhea with products from Pharmax LLC. They both resolved. The

> suspect Longevity Plus' products would be helpful here too, but I don't

> A14: First treatment that ever worked well, called Salba RX, 3

> scoops/daily, in something soft like yoghurt. Looks like birdseed, but

> check it out, and no RX needed. Order through TID, and comes in a

> cannister. You might be delightfully surprised. Worked on Colitis, IBS,

> as well as some cases of Ulcerative Colitis in remission. You might check

> out your spelling on Difficult. Sincerely, RVAC

> A15: We have an all natural antibacterial that is helping our C.Diff

> patient tremendously right now. It's called Anti-ViBac. He was full of

> bacteria, viruses, and parasites and he is doing fantastic now. If you

> would like more information, just contact me at the number below. Good

> luck and remember to teach good handwashing techniques to this patient!

> A16: Suggest you do some research into MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution).

> Dicovered by Jim Humble (who has written in this forum), MMS releases

> trace amounts of chlorine dioxide when citic acid is added to it in a one

> to five ratio MMS to citric acid (lemon juice)and diluted in 2/3 of a

> glass of water. MMS is simply a 28% solution of sodium chlorite. Chlorine

> dioxide is cidal to fungus, bateria, virus's, and mycoplasms. It has been

> proven to kill malaria completely in two hours on average and this was

> demonstrated in 75,000+ patients in Africa. I have personally used this

> solution with tremendous efficacy confirmed

> by Metametrix DNA stool analysis. Several hundred thousand people in the

> US are currently using MMS according to Jim Humble. He personally doesn

> not benefit from sales of MMS. One word of caution is to begin VERY

> slowly. Start with one drop of MMS, five drops of citric acid. Allow the

> solution to sit for a timed three minutes minimum. At this poit a pungent

> smell of chlorine dioxide can easily be noticed. Add anout 2/3 of a cup of

> water or any fruit juice that DOES NOT contain added vitamin C (vit C will

> neutralize the chlorine dioxide). This procedure can be repeated every one

> or two hours. On day two double the number of drops. On day three triple

> them. Gradually raise the doseage to 15 drops three times a day. If at any

> point in the process excess nausea is experience by the patient reuce the

> number of drops or skip a treatment. This is indicative of lymphatic

> system overload. Some indivduals will get diahrea at some point as the

> doseage is increased. One person I know personally who had a very serious

> yeast overgrowth experience a complete intestinal dumping when she hit

> five drops. She didn't even have time to remove her pants it happened so

> quickly! She has been improving steadily since then and is continuing to

> take MMS. It would be of tremendous benefit to all FACT members if you

> would report back the outcome of this trial should you choose to do it.
