Billdance, well done on your liver flush but bear in mind you have to work on your gastrointestinal health and immune system aswell. Also you will almost certainely need to help/speed the process along by treating it from the out side aswell. But I would be very cautious of drug type steriod creams as they only suppress the symptom by driving the problem deeper into the skin. Moreover they also put strain on the liver as this is the only organ that can break these drugs down. However, if you do decide to come off the steroids do it in a controlled and gradual manner so you dont shock you ...

Don’t mess with these drugs. I don’t know of anyone who’s overcome candida for good just with pharma antifungals, they tend to create more problems long term! Try the turpentine + sugar protocol it is incredibly effective based on what I’ve read, I just ordered some myself. Iodine + borax helps gradually and will keep candida away, very cheap. Castor oil can be very helpful for cleaning out intestines as well, also very cheap. These things work together, and of course stick to a good diet.   [End]

Scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed patients in 183 hospitals across 10 states over the course of five months to capture a clearer picture of how often antibiotics are prescribed, how much is prescribed, and for how long. Of the roughly 11,000 patients surveyed close to half confirmed they had been given antibiotics. Most of this group also reported they were taking more than one form—some up to four different kinds at once. ”Despite the evidence supporting early, appropriate therapy, a substantial proportion of antimicrobial use in the US acute care ...

Antibiotic resistance (ABR) develops when an antibiotic drug loses its effectiveness against bacteria. Through genetic mutation and selection, bacteria can evolve defenses against a given antibiotic. Some “superbugs,” such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), require difficult, costly treatment; in some cases, treatment may not even be possible or feasible.   ABR has developed over time similar to “a 40- or 50-year smoldering fire,” said   [End]

First it may sound confusing but if you stick to a schedule of what you take and what you do, you will see results. Leaky Gut, well this will heal over time as you change your diet and kill the yeast. The yeast is what causes it in your guts. They put pin holes and then the yeast leaks into your blood. SO you must kill the yeast and flush out your body. Never stop eating fiber, taking your yeast killers, and avoid glucose forming foods...

Well, first I would likd to say that the medical doctors do not know everything. Also, they are required to go by ’standard practice’. Also, why do you think they call it a ’medical practice’, perhaps they’ll get it right someday! But, that being as it may, let’s look at this taking of fecal material from a different point of view. First, ’babies’ do often eat their own fecal matter without any after affects. I is quite common with children. Also, some animals also do that.

I forgot to mention in direct response to your question about whether Alcohol and Smoking can exarcebate Psoriasis? The answer is yes. Any toxin will exarcebate the problem as it puts further strain on your liver which is at the root of the disorder as previousely explained (see previous post). Alcohol will have a more direct and rapid effect as it is processed by the liver during digestion. Smoking toxins like tar have more of a cummulative background effect on the liver as apart from the nicotine most of the toxins build up in the lungs (as you well know). Note stress is one of the mai ...

If you are not afraid to have unprotected sex with your wife, you should not be afraid of her feces. If you are in a long term sexual relationship with your wife (most married men are), and if she is very healthy, I believe she can be a donor without taking any blood tests. I believe those donor criteria on curezone are for people who have no possibility to do blood tests, and for people who are not in a long term sexual relationship. If testing blood and feces of a donor is not an option, and if a donor you chose is almost a stranger, than you would probably like to choose a donor bas ...

Over the past few weeks, I’ve become re-acquainted with the devastating effects that these two antibiotics can have on the lives of people who have had these prescribed for them by medical doctors. The hell that follows their use can be a day-to-day nightmare filled with hallucinations, panic attacks, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, ruptured tendons which incapacitate you for life, etc. That doesn’t take into account the devastating effect that they will have on the digestive tract and the rest of your health.

Deburr’s results are very encouraging, and I was all set to try to find an infant donor to try this myself. However, I happened upon this fact: up to 70% if infants are carriers for the C. difficile bacteria, while only 2-3% of healthy adults are. Check this link, read under the Pathophysiology section: http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3412.htm Given this information, I’m thinking that a young adult may be a better donor. By the way my problem is candidiasis, but I’ve thought for some time that flora transplantation from a living donor would be the only possible cure for me.   [End]

Hi all! Most interesting experience Deburr! Thanks for sharing. I think it makes a lot of sense.

I am 36 and have been suffering from Ulcerative Colitis since 1989. In recent years I have done much research and experimentation. I have found that I react badly to foods high in carbohydrates, simple and complex. ...

Hi everyone new to this forum, but have had UC since 1980 and what deburr has done I have wanted to do for a long time. I have been researching the literature for the past 20 or so years and the above procedure is a modification of what is called Fecal Flora Replacement. Search pubmed for some abstracts. This procedure is done by Dr. Borody in Australia, and it would normally be done by a strong bowel prep, then antibiotics, then the fecal infusion. One reason this procedure is not done more ofter is that finding a disease free donor may prove difficult, a young child as a donor se ...

When you say you can’t eat eggs, do you mean cooked eggs? I can’t eat cooked eggs, they give me all kinds of problems (gas, bloating, etc.), even half an egg will cause that.

I crack them over a cup, stir with a spoon, and drink, lol.   [End]
