Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I work in a pharmacy/vitamin store and am an acupuncturist. Recently saw 15 year old young woman (multiple handicaps hence very sensitive) who had c. diff. for several weeks prior. Actually saw her mother as girl was in bed/bathroom at home. As you know most commonly caused by antibiotic use. Girl was headed down hill fast. MD treatments had includes several additional antibiotics after the one that caused the problem and every treatment made her much worse. I gave her a probiotic called Bio-K which is small containers of live liquid culture of 50 billion per container. Told her to take one whole container 3 times per day (3 per day total) Week and 1/2 later the girl came in (with mother) wreathed in smiles to thank me! She had tried several probiotics previous to this but in much smaller dosage. This particular product, according to the manufacturers was originally designed to prevent/treat abx induced bowel problems. Geoffrey They say a picture is worth a thousand words...and the patient had showered only an hour before! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24407803?GT1=43001 The article is very well-written and worth the read, too: Watch what you touch: A bad germ gets worse 'C. diff' rivals MRSA as the next deadly bacteria threat, experts say ( " C diff " is short for the Clostridium difficile bacteria.)
