Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I feel the bugs will grow resistant to anything being used for long periods of time. Vancomycin is only used for Staph and Clostridia, and is not listed as a healing agent for klebsiella or citrobacter. Jaquelyn Plant Tannins I have a question. Is anyone using Plant Tannins for g.i. bacteria? If so, would you mind sharing your favorite brands? I noticed that " plant tannins " are effective in killing citrobacter, morganella morganii, and " pretty effective " in killing klebsiella and proteus mirabilis. I finally got to view the Sophie Rossnou (sp?) tape from DAN! where she mentions that she saw a lot of klebsiella and citrobacter, which she feels caused a lot of gi pain in the children they evaluated. ALSO, e coli was in the small intestine. She said that it should ONLY be in the lower intestine. Should we then be trying to reduce the e coli numbers as well, even though they don't show up as pathogenic on stool tests? Please correct me, if I've misunderstood this information. Also, does anyone know the antibiotic that they used for her study (evidentally it's not available in the US)? Thanks guys! Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Dr. McCandless and All: Ok, last questions for today I did hear one DAN! doctor express concern that clostridia could grow resistant if we continued to use Vanco. Do you feel that's really a concern? And, are klebsiella and citrobacter sensitive to Vancomycin? Thanks! Becky Plant Tannins I have a question. Is anyone using Plant Tannins for g.i. bacteria?
