I AM C DIFF FREE! I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY STORY.

[Jen D]

Hi! By the grace of God I am c diff free after two months of suffering! When I was told I had c diff I was in shock and decided to see what alternatives to antibiotics there were since I believe it was Amoxicillin for a kidney infection that I had taken 8 days prior that got me the c diff and I questioned taking another antibiotic to get rid of the bug that antibiotics caused in the first place. I found this study which gave me hope that maybe I could beat it naturally. http://farahmd.blogspot.com/2011/11/tur ... r.html?m=1
Then to figure out the dose I came upon this article which was for an enema to help fight cancer. http://www.drclark.net/disease-a-protoc ... age/enemas

So this is what I did for 14 days:

In the morning: 12 oz. warm water enema with 12-15 drops of iodine that I held in for 5-10 minutes then expelled whatever came out. After that I put 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. powdered turmeric that I got from the store in 8 oz of warm water and gave myself an enema with that solution. I laid down flat on the bed for 30 minutes so all of the fluid would stay in and be absorbed. The idea is not to expel the turmeric solution.
In the evening: I repeated what I did in the morning.
I did this for 14 days and two days after finishing the turmeric enemas I took in a stool sample which showed negative!

What I ate: vegan but not much raw. Foods like nori, wild rice, avocadoes, ginger, cilantro, almond butter, brown rice tortillas, quinoa, coconut oil, steamed veggies like cauliflower, green beans, carrots, broccoli, and I avoided all corn, wheat and fruit. I also ate a ton of fermented foods like miso soup, tempeh, kimchi, sauerkraut. I could not tolerate kefir or yogurt so I avoided those. I drank turmeric tea daily or more. Here's the recipe: http://draxe.com/recipe/turmeric-tea-recipe/
I also took probiotics--s.boulardi-mos, primal defense and vsl#3 every day and vitamin D3. I did not take any other supplement during this time. I truly wanted to see if I would get better and this simple treatment would work. I am here to say that it did!!!!! I have energy, I am not in bed half or all day and I can take care of my newborn and enjoy my family. I also am no longer contagious!!! WooHoo!!

Now I am going to try and heal and seal my gut. There is a Healthy Gut Summit with several reputable speakers starting January 18, 2016. Here is where you can register: http://naturalgutcures.com/

Ultimately, I know my healing came from my Creator, YHWH Elohim who answered "yes" to the prayers of my friends and family praying for me. It has been a trial in my life but I want to learn from it and help others if possible. Please pray and receive the love of God through His Son, Yeshua the Messiah and don't live in fear but empower and educate yourself to strengthen and heal your body with the tools HE has given us, His earth and the whole foods in it.

I will still go see the specialist in February to appease my mom and to learn anymore insight into this awful bug and the illness it causes. I also hope to share with him my treatment with the turmeric. Again, I thank YHWH for His healing and pray I will be a good steward of the knowledge and the body He has given me.

I pray this information and my testimony helps at least one person. I thank this board for existing because it gave me hope and made me feel like I wasn't alone. Thank you and YHWH bless and keep you!

Thank you for sharing your story. We do not encourage or promote alternate methods of treating c diff but are glad this worked for you. Some do have good luck with alternative medicine and some do not - the same as with mainstream medicine. Probiotics help some - and make some feel worse. I have also heard of using turmeric tea.

Two months is not a long time to have c diff. There are people who have it far longer - and people who were "cured" by just stopping the offending antibiotic. I would see the specialist your mother recommended "just in case."

Thx for your post, and enjoy the new baby. Glad this site helped you. Celebrate your wellness.

Best to you.

As Bobbie mentioned.
The first "treatment" for c.diff is to stop the offending antibiotic so the gut flora recovers and eliminates the overgrowth of bad bugs.
Very often thats the only treatment required and is the perfect scenario.
I am glad something worked for you be it prayer, natural meds or your own body healing itself.
