Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi Kay, Wow, gutsy lady, pardon the pun!!! Incredible courage to do it all on your own!!! Fantastic that it worked well for you. My success has been short lived, 2 weeks of fecal infusion last December wasn't enough and about the beginning of June I noticed I was becoming more emotional and stressed easy when I went about a normal life. Up to June I had resumed part time work, took a trip to USA and really taxed myself and never got stessed nor did my energy flag. A lot of my good health in the last 5 months has also been due to a low oxalate diet and recommended supplements. I am just having a gut permeability test done, but I know even without the results my gut lining has healed considerably due to the diet and I certainly still don't have any dysbiosis. My suspicion that my gut flora is getting out of kilter was confirmed by a stool analysis, the old bad bacteria I had trouble with before is well under control but my good flora is still very low and as a result different bacteria has become over grown. Also my last Organic Acid Test from GPL also confirmed I have intestinal microbial overgrowth and poor nutrient absorption. I was told by Prof Borody that it takes 12 months for the good flora to really flourish and multiply. So in people like me I need a lot more donor infusions over a longer period. I think you are on the right path with your idea to do more infusions since taking the tetracyline. It has taken many years to get in the state of ill health we are in and therefore getting well isn't going to happen overnight so to speak. I am disappointed but I am functioning mentally, physically, emotionally so much better than before I did any biofilm, stool and oxalate work I will just repeat what I have done before, I know it works, it is just going to take awhile to establish a good level of good bacteria. I was going do my own infusion earlier this year but I kind of avoided it. I don't know very many people where I live and the two people I asked in January didn't cope very well with the idea so I kind of put it off and kept my fingers crossed I had done enough through the clinic, but I havent. Prof Borodys' clinic have supplied me with two test kits (blood and stool) for prospective donors and I have now found people willing to help. So looks like I will be setting up my laundry like you soon!!! Yuk!!! With regard to donors, you chose a baby, Borody's staff have told me that children under 14 are unsuitable because their gut flora is not mature enough. What that means I am not sure. You should be very proud of your efforts to help yourself and I hope you continue your path to good health. You gotta do what you gotta do. Who am I trying to convince???? I really don't relish the idea!!! > > Hi Everyone, > > I am having normal BMs for the first time in over 20 years without taking anything to make it happen, have improved my gut balance, and want to share with you what I did to create this change - human probiotic infusions done at home. > > First, a little background. Reading 's posts about her fecal transplants was an eye opener for me. Many PWCs have taken antibiotics. I was given antibiotics from childhood for winter flus etc. and since my CFS included chronic sinus and upper respiratory infections, I've taken at least 150 rounds of antibiotics during my 28 CFS years. Among them were amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and doxycycline which are 3 of the 4 oxalobacter formenges killing antibiotics. The 4th is quinolone. Oxalobacter formenges is the good gut bateria that feeds on oxalates. Oxalates are a natural ingredient in many healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Healthy that is, providing our oxalobacter formenges is still alive to eat the oxalates. When that isn't the case, oxalate levels become too high over time, leave the gut due to leaky gut, travel in the blood throughout the body and head, and cause symptoms that include brain > fog, pain, vulvadinia, kidney stones, and oxidative stress which reduces glutathione. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Good Morning , I was so happy to wake up this morning and see your post as you have done human probiotics through Dr. Borody and contributed much that is helping me now. I feel so close to many of you even though we have not met. Maybe we really can figure out how to help each other get well together. Doner age is an important point . My posts on this topic were aready so long, I left out some things. I began with a male doner friend who is 57. Then gave him a break since he works and lives an active life. And for some reason, my body wanted Gracie's poo. Just instinct on my part. I have time now to search for a doner 14 or older and will. I too believe that it takes time for the good gut bacteria to multiply and I must do human probiotics every few months for a year or so to achieve consistent results. And I believe due to my experience with Dr. Fry's treatment, that I need human probiotics done intermittently with a program to breakdown biofilm and kill the pathogens that get released. For me, beginning with liver/gall bladder and bladder cleanses were essential in clearing the pathways to remove bilfilm and dead pathogens. I would have never guessed I had gall stones but I did. Then, it's individual choice whether human probiotics get done next or breaking down biofilm and killing the pathogens within. I learned how to do kinesiology on myself and other energy testing that helps me prioritize and figure out what supplements and products are currently best for my body. Wording the questions is very important. I ask, " Is it in my highest and best good for curing my CFS on a level of 8,9,or 10 for me to take this product? "  My body already knows that I'm referring to 8,9,or,10 on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the highest. I ask the question this way to be clear that my goal is to cure not maintain.   In the past, I've also received help from someone who's good with kinesiology or gone to a healthfood store that does biofeedback to see which products balance my body further rather than take it further out of balance. Let's say a PWC decides to do the human probiotics first to lessen the need for magnesium, then address biofilm and the pathogens it is hiding. And they need to detox heavy metals. That protocol could look like this: Upon Rising, 1 - 400 mg. tablet Sam-E for glutathione/depression 1/2 hour before breakfast, 1 enzyme tablet, Buluoke Lumbrokinase or Nattokinase to breakdown biofilm With breakfast, 2 - Sutherlandia OPC, super botanical anti-viral and anti-retroviral from www.sutherlandia.com or your anti-viral of choice To detox heavy metals, 1 - Wonder Laboratories 625 mg. tablet EDTA (1 week on and 1 week off) 1/2 hour before lunch, 1 enzyme tablet, preferably Buluoke Lumbrokinase With lunch, 1 - Sutherlandia OPC and a very strong anti-parasitic as the malaria protozoa being found in CFS patients is a hard to kill parasite. Or if your doctor will prescribe it, an anti-malarial Your doctor might also add an antibiotic like tatracycline since it is an anti-parasitic You might add an anti-fugal since fungus gets caught in the biofilm too. Drink lots of water And do small (3 cup) warm water enemas as needed to help your body release biofilm pieces. Since fat is the food for many biofilm forming superbugs, a diet with 10 grams of fat or less daily is recommended. No dairy or eggs. I use egg beaters, no meat, or avocados, oil, or butter. Since calcium and magnesium make up biolfilm structure, no magnesium or calcium. Dr. Fry's treatment take anywhere from 1 - 8 months depending on the patient. My first month of this treatment added some symptoms but was bearable. Within another 2 weeks I herxed bad. I broke out in a rash even on my eyelids, cried for days,had an emotional melt-down, felt flu-like, had intense pain and pressure in my head, and had neck and shoulder muscles tied in unbelievable spasms. I live by myself and didn't realize for days that I was herxing. Called Dr. Fry who said stop everything for a week then re-start.  My second " round " on the protocal was worse. The treatment was in full swing.  because biofilm is so sticky, it's breakdown included sensations that felt like I was being torn and pulled inside wherever the enzymes were working. No fun at all! Dr. Fry had told me that the first month would have some symptoms, the next 2-3 months would be tough, then I would level out, then I would start to get and feel better, and that's what's happening. I'm in the leveling out phase now and am just very tired to exhausted.  It is very important with this protocol to listen to our bodies and take it slow. Back off even stop periodically then restart as many times as needed. I have been crying at the drop of a hat the last 2 days and noticed my heart pounding late yesterday and that I was quivering inside (and it wasn't from anything fun ). So I haven't taken anything today, will give my bod a few days break, then will begin again. For me, I'm thinking the human probiotics interspersed with the biofilm/bug killing protocol has a good chance of maybe giving me my life back. Dr. Fry says that the single most important aspect of killing the malaria protozoa is to starve it with the low fat diet.  And I'm continueing the low oxalate diet. We'll see.  How long it takes and how intense the symptoms/herxes depends on how long one has had CFS. And what I've described above may only be useful for some of us. It is simply what I am doing now with hope.  CFS symptoms and the treatment symptoms are enough different that I can tell the difference. I am improving. If you have a doctor who will do it, I recommend the ink stain test for malaria protozoa from Fry Laboratories to know if you need to address biofilm and/or any of the mutant malaria protozoa. And the urine test to see if your oxalates are high.
