Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 I have a question and was wondering if anyone has a good answer. I was having my pediatrician to order some tests yesterday and we started talking about the mercury detox protocol. She was concerned because she says 30-60% of randomly tested children show up with clostridia in their gut with NO symptoms. She wonders why we treat this bacteria when unless their are signs of infection it does no harm. Anyone have an answer to that? I am treating JT with vancomycin right now and wonder how two doctors could be so contradictory. By the way, I really like my pediatrician-- I find her to be open minded and thoughtful and willing to admit she doesn't know everything. I am just trying to get my facts straight. Thanks, Heath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is yet another byzantine and random part of the DAN! protocol and other standard 'witch doctor' treatments? I don't know, but my sarcasm is to a point - it is NOT appropriate to apply a massive array of treatments without having some clear rationale as to why each one is appropriate, and an indication in that particular case for each one. > I am treating JT with > vancomycin right now and wonder how two doctors could be so > contradictory. It is apparently pretty easy. All of us have run into it time after time. That's why you have to take responsibilty to make the ultimate decisions. > By the way, I really like my pediatrician-- I find > her to be open minded and thoughtful and willing to admit she doesn't > know everything. Sounds like a good pediatrician. Even better if she will order up some tests and perhaps even prescribe for you. > I am just trying to get my facts straight. > > Thanks, > Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Heath *************************** Good question. I would only consider an antibiotics as a last resort. Probiotics and immune boosters are my first choice. I have other choices as well before antibiotics. but clostridia can do major harm in some circumstances, so its good to do something if you know you have it.
