Gut Restoration

[Guest guest]

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.

My blood tests showed high uric acid levels which indicates high oxalates, I had

most of the symptoms, and had taken oxalobacter formenges killing antibiotics. 

It was obvious to me that part of my path back to good health was to reduce my

oxalate levels and reintroduce oxalobacter formenges into my gut.

To reduce oxalates, I googled low oxalate diet and went on the

diet immediately.  Magnesium and calcium citrate bind with oxalates to help

carry them out of the body and are recommended.  I had already been taking

magnesium for years as most PWCs are told we are low in magnesium (which we're

really not).  And taking magnesium was my way of keeping my bowels moving.  I

had also been told to take calcium but didn't.  Biofeedback and energy testing

over the years showed that calcium supplements would actually take me backwards,

so I did not take them.

In researching healthy gut bacteria, some sources say there are over 1,000

different kinds of good bacteria in a healthy gut.  Some say as many as 3,000. 

Most probiotics contain 1 or 2 good bacteria.  The most I found in any product

was 14.  No wonder the $100s I had spent on probiotics had made no discernable

difference in me.  This helped me understand why the only complete probiotic is

feces from a healthy person.  I read " Same Poop, Different Gut " from the

November 3, 2010 article in The Scientist magazine on Dr. Borody's transplant

work in Australia and recommend it.  Web research on American doctors doing

fecal transplants yielded 3 who although getting successful results, only treat

critical patients with diseases other than CFS.  Since getting them done by an

American doctor and going to Australia were not options for me, and since Dr.

Borody had mentioned doing your own in something I read, I decided to do my own.

The next thing I pondered was choosing a doner and getting their blood tested

for pathogens.  But as we've all learned especially in the last few months,

there are numerous pathogens just being discovered and no comprehensive

pathogens test that covers more than the old standards.  The basic pathogens

test to me, just meant giving me the perception of safety.  So after more

reading, my first doner choice was the 4 year old daughter of friends of mine

and her parents were happy to help.  Gracie had a natural birth, no vaccines,

was breast fed, and is healthy to date.  And her parents are in excellent

health. 

I chose a spot in my laudry room (bathroom would be fine too) for the necessary

tools, got a routine down, and went for it, and am so glad I did.  We called

Gracie's gift to me Gracie's love.  I did a dozen of Gracie's human probiotic

transplants over about a 3 week period.  The chronic constipation, cramps,

bloating, and gas I dealt with daily for years are near gone, my oxalate levels

are now normal, and I avioded magnesium and calcium which build biofilm.  As

many of you know from reading by posts about breaking down biofilm, calcium and

magnesium form a large part of biofilm structure so it was important to me to

regain gut health without sabotaging biofilm breakdown and release.

Since doing the human probiotic infusions, I started Dr. Fry's protocol to

breakdown biofilm and kill the malaria protazoa and other pathogens which were

hiding within.  As part of his treatment, I have taken 3 months of

tetracycline.  Prior to the human probiotic infusions, I would probably have not

taken the tetracycline or would have been in a quandry over it.  Due to the

infusions, my gut health was so improved that I decided to try the

tetracycline.  After 3 months, I'm surprised and elated that I'm still having

normal BMs.  Because I wanted to help myself release biofilm at a point when I

was releasing a lot, I did a few warm water enemas.  Other than that, my

bowels are regular with no outside help.  At the end of taking the tetracycline,

I plan to do a few follow-up human probiotics to restore any good gut bacteria

that may have been eliminated.

I have attached my human probiotic recipe and method.  I am not saying anyone

else should do this.  Just sharing what I did.  , if you read this

and have anything to add, please weigh in.
