Re: A low risk treatment that shows promise...

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I read the article on Dr Borody's stool infusion treatment and thought I would

post that I have had this treatment, last November. I had two weeks of stool

infusion after the antibiotic treatment at Dr Borody's Centre for Digestive

Diseases. I have had cfs for 25 years, but significantly for the past 18 years

or so. This treatment has turned my life around. I have not worked for 7 years

and I am now well enough to return to work part time. I walk about 30-40 minutes

every day now, this time last year I could not walk 100 metres!

But there is a lot more to the puzzle than what Dr Borody is doing. What also

helped me was the biofilm protocol by Dr Usman (Defeat Autism Now) that protocol

really made marked improvements in my ability to walk and start to have a normal

life.

Dr Borody's treatment also gave me a huge boost to my health but when I returned

home after the treatment and ate a diet high in nuts and seeds, leafy green veg

and foods for the good bacteria to thrive on as advised by the Centre for

Digestive Diseases, my dysbiosis and cfs symptoms started to return. I became

really very frightened that I was going to lose all the health improvements I

had gained from these treatments. So I started my research again this time into

leaky gut and found another autistic research doctor, Dr Owens who has

found the link between oxalates and leaky gut in autism and other chronic

illnesses. Once I followed Dr Owens recommendations and a low oxalate diet the

dysbiosis and other symptoms again disappeared. I have also had an organic acids

tests at the Great Plains Laboratory which confirms that I have very high

oxalates in my urine.

So what I am trying to say is that the good bacteria in my case are definitely

part of my problem especially the bacteria oxalabacter formenges which are

responsible for digesting the harmfull oxalates that are in our food. However

the leaky gut is the cause of the oxalates leaving the gut and entering the body

where they do all the damage.

Dr Borody's treatment does not work in all cases, and I believe it wouldn't have

worked in me if I had not discovered Dr Owens work on oxolates and leaky

gut. From my experience stool infusion is only part of the problem - you must

heal the leaky gut first in order for the procedure to be successful.

What are oxalates? spinach? thanks joyce

{Moderator: Don't forget to google what is unfamiliar.}

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalate

Physiological effects

In the body, oxalic acid combines with divalent metallic cations such as calcium

(Ca2+) and iron(II) (Fe2+) to form crystals of the corresponding oxalates which

are then excreted in urine as minute crystals. These oxalates can form larger

kidney stones than can obstruct the kidney tubules. An estimated 80% of kidney

stones are formed from calcium oxalate.[4] Those with kidney disorders, gout,

rheumatoid arthritis, or certain forms of chronic vulvar pain (vulvodynia) are

typically advised to avoid foods high in oxalic acid. Methods to reduce the

oxalate content in food are of current interest.[5]

Occurrence in nature

Oxalate occurs in many plants, where it is synthesized via the incomplete

oxidation of carbohydrates.

Oxalate-rich plants include fat hen ( " lamb's quarters " ), sorrel, and several

Oxalis species. The root and/or leaves of rhubarb and buckwheat are high in

oxalic acid.[2] Other edible plants that contain significant concentrations of

oxalate include—in decreasing order—star fruit (carambola), black pepper,

parsley, poppy seed, amaranth, spinach, chard, beets, cocoa, chocolate, most

nuts, most berries, fishtail palms, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia

tetragonioides) and beans.[citation needed] Leaves of the tea plant (Camellia

sinensis) contain among the greatest measured concentrations of oxalic acid

relative to other plants. However the infusion beverage typically contains only

low to moderate amounts of oxalic acid per serving, due to the small mass of

leaves used for brewing.

Low Risk? Faecal transplants involve taking another person's feces and

introducing it into one's intestinal tract via enemas or into the intestines via

a feeding tube. I can see why this might be helpful in illnesses such as

clostridium difficile infection where a person has lost their normal intestinal

flora. However, I just can't see introducing other people's feces into one's

body as " low risk. "

I'm pleased you said that.

We've got low/distorted immune function and /or high demand on our immune

system, some have leaky gut too. What's to stop any infectious agents

dispersing throughout our bodies?

I think the possible answer to that is the 'healthy' or 'good' bacteria that

boost immune function that would come with the transplants. Not sure if the

treatment is allowed however for people with actual intestinal permeability...?
