Hello all My friend has a persistent kidney infection for months, stemming from urinary tract infection keeps getting sick prescribed a million different antibiotics but nothing seems to help last...
you could also try a fecal transplant i know others here have found it helps and from my experiment with the probiotic i reckon colonic flora and fauna (bacteria) have a lot to do with it so i think...
hello i would like to add an experiment that if you feel stronger soon maybe you could try it worked for me though it might not work for all perhaps you could try a month of totally resting your...
hello all its Queen of the Colon here I just wanted to let you all know the long term outcome of my experiment three years on it still seems to have worked I have not relapsed one gut specialist i...
Hello all, as you might know I went into remission after trying to radically alter the flora and fauna of my gut, using a combo of an anti-thrush tablet, mass and diverse probiotics, and liquid meals...
Hello everyone i sincerely wish you the best in your quest for remission it's just a horrible health issue to have, and you all are very brave and wonderful if it wasn't for this board and the shared...
Hello all, I want to give you an update, since a lot of people say there is no cure for UC other than a colonectomy I was diagnosed with UC in late 2009 after months of blood and mucus It was caused...
Hello, IMHO it is ESSENTIAL to mix as many different types of probiotics as you can. Your gut is like a rainforest. When the rainforest has been cut down you don't replant with a single species of...
hmm Napacabs and Kim123 yes very very interesting!! i think possibly yeast overgrowth also contributes. I know my body got better when I combined the probiotics with a thrush tablet. It cleared some...
mudua, I have never observed any link between McDonalds and UC. But many people *have* observed a link between long-term antibiotic use and UC being triggered. Also in gut bacteria balance and UC,...
Hello all, New article on The Economist about how imbalance of gut bacteria in the west contributes to IBD, Crohns and allergies. If you add intestinal parasites to the mix it would be more potent...
It is your DUTY to report it If you do NOT report it the nurse may hurt somebody else...
well done for posting this really interesting, thanks! I'm sure it can be helpful to many with Ulcerative Colitis, IBD and even Crohns....
Gday Peety For sure if you have the risk of not being able to go back on something that works, if you go off it for a while, then you are doing the sensible thing. I am glad Remicade is working for...
Hello beautiful people :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: Hello NBT I am *really* glad you have found something that helps you, good on you! That's what it's all about :) Hello Peety...
Hello NuffinButTrouble Lovely to see you here Now i think you have misunderstood - this theory does not say Crohns/UC is a bowel problem but an auto-immune problem. It is your immune system that is...
Hello all :turn: great to see you all!! for Suebear: I hear your point and i respond thus: According to the theory children in the developed world encounter far less germs and worms than children in...
Hello ithurtsmom, Well, according to my theory I would say that your 5-year-old daughter's immune system is attacking the colon, if it is indeed UC correctly diagnosed. Then I would say that she is...
Hello Pb4 Well medical science certainly says surgery is the only 'cure'. But what did my gastroenterologist know? All he knew was to give me a colonoscopy then prescribe sulfasalazine for life and...
ahh Hateuc LOL I never saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High but i'm a sucka for 80s movies so i'm gonna rent it :) hello notsosicklygirl you sound like you have a bad case indeed. According to my new...
Hello there all, Hello Summerstorm: The idea is not to go the rest of your life without ever taking an antibiotic. Antibiotics are good and necessary sometimes. They just have had the side-effect on...
Thanks Sue, That's interesting. I am glad that surgery worked well for you and you are happy with the result, after all that is what counts. It probably wouldn't help for everyone but I think that...
Hello all, :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: I've been checking out this fantastic site for months, and I credit advice i found here with taking me out of my flare. I really think we...
wow wow we are SOOOO onto something with the worms and the probiotics and the poo enemas. Downgarden... when did you start noticing the difference? What is the difference? what were you like before...
Good on you, Sir Crapsalot! yes, your liver will thank you but also your pancreas :) Thanks Killcolitis, that's really interesting about how long it takes. You know something is going funny with my...
ahhh t for letting me know the lead time, Killcolitis yes sir C you are right your liver wd thank you - but also your pancreas /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif ...
Hi I reckon Subdued has it bang on the head: the bacteria are helping but not taking hold and multiplying maybe you have to clear some space for them in your colon first. prepare the ground for...
thanks for that reply much appreciated sir crapsalot, hope you're also cutting down on the alcohol as your pancreas will thank you :turn: i would have thought it would be working by now after 3 weeks...
did you infect with a patch on the skin? or by swallowing a mixture?...
Thank you. Apologies. I just remembered that was actually the topic thread DUH! Well now you've taken them, you can maybe keep reinfecting yourself as time goes by, I think they last 5 years? Just...
Hey Sir Crapsalot good on you for trying something different is it pig whipworm or human whipworm you are taking?...
Thanks Fruit Girl for being a really great, helpful and sensible moderator we will miss you heaps! enjoy your new work goodbye :)...
Hello Lynne, LOL :turn: :turn: :turn: :turn: :smilewinkgrin: I love the way you wrote that post, it cracked me right up :tongue: water is fine, but just drink it when you are thirsty, crazy gal!...
Hello HT, Well, if Jasper did it, so can I. It doesn't make much sense that you would overdose/get too many worms from one visit. The people that get infected with too many are living in the area and...
Thanks Levi, much appreciated That was a FANTASTIC article. Very very interesting Good on Jasper for being an advocate and risking so much to get the message out, I really respect that. But what he...
hello levi, thanks for the link :) I think the other treatment is more because it is all the types of worms not just one - he is charging for the different species i think hmmm, good point,...
So interesting :turn: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: Thank you everyone for sharing your links and info. Levi, for your research there is plenty through this thread...
Landcruiser, I am sorry I have nothing much useful to contribute except a wish for you to get well. That doesn't sound like fun it sounds like it's moving in the wrong direction with blood coming out...
Well done JuJu -- Champion effort!!! Proud of you!!...
Good luck, she is so lucky to have a caring boyfriend like you. How beautiful. It looks like there is a waiting time to get to the doctor. Has she tried probiotics and eating very small, liquid...
Hmmm, well I think it can't be *highly* dangerous, I respectfully disagree :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: If it were dangerous to keep pigs, people wouldn't have been keeping them throughout...
Hey I got prescribed doxycycline for malaria prophylaxis too - i took it for nearly 6 months in Africa and I believe it is what triggered my UC in the first place. If you have to take it for the...
hi Saralee, you might already be on your cruise as you posted a while back. Hope you OK :) I am thinking of you. I was prescribed Sulfasalazine on diagnosis but never had to take it. I got out of my...

thank you so much, Helminthic Therapy that is really interesting, have you noticed any improvements? I confess that was my idea too: chip in with a few people and share the worms around. Surely it...
how did you get your worms? did they cost a lot?...
Thanks Karen, You know, I do feel a lot better, and I really think a large part of that is being able to let it out and have somebody anonymous listen and give feedback. Thank you to all who posted...
hey helminthic therapy, i read that thread and you tried the worms did it work for you?...
Thanks everyone, much appreciated You are right really Thanks Navy man - i love the navy you guys really work hard to make the world safer, and it is not easy to do your job. Much harder than for me....
There are some good reasons why everyone is depressed these days and they're not just biochemistry a) Most people are really quite rotten. People do horrible things to each other all the time. It's...
