Clostridia

Clostridia, a bacteria type, is widespread in soil, air, water, and the digestive tracts of various animals, including humans. The most familiar species, C. Diff, is renowned, but numerous other species can turn pathogenic and induce disease under specific conditions.

Strains of Clostridia:

  • Clostridia Botulinum: In 1919-1920, numerous Americans succumbed to fatalities resulting from the consumption of tainted canned goods. These goods had not undergone adequate pressure treatment, allowing Clostridia Botulinum to persist.

    Clostridia Tetani: This bacterium is responsible for causing tetanus, commonly known as lockjaw.

    Clostridia Perfringens: This bacterium is a culprit in gastroenteritis, commonly associated with food poisoning.

    Clostridia difficile (C. Diff.): This particular strain can give rise to a spectrum of illnesses, ranging from mild to moderate diarrhea, colitis, and/or megacolon. In severe cases, it can escalate to sepsis and potentially lead to fatal outcomes.

So, What Can You Do?

  • Traditional treatment approaches involve the use of antibiotics like metronidazole or vancomycin.

    Clostridia, being a spore-forming bacteria, remains resilient to these antibiotics, providing only temporary relief as they are ineffective against spores. Moreover, antibiotics may exacerbate the disruption of your microbiome, increasing the likelihood of gut imbalances.

    A more natural approach to eliminate clostridia involves utilizing antibacterial herbs like oil of oregano, Biocidin, garlic extract, and broccoli seed. This can be done through a pulse-dosing method, offering an alternative to conventional antibiotic treatment.

Preventing Clostridia Overgrowth is Key.

  • Nurture your gut microbiota! Beneficial probiotics such as Lacto Rhamnosis and Sacc Boulardii can be supportive.

  • Maintain a well-rounded diet rich in diverse nutrients, incorporating fermented foods like sauerkraut, while moderating your carbohydrate intake.

  • Prioritize organic food consumption! Glyphosate has the potential to disrupt your healthy gut flora, leading to an imbalance that allows typically benign bacteria to turn pathogenic and proliferate excessively. This can result in the production of harmful byproducts, poisoning the body.

OAT Testing

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) presents a thorough metabolic overview of a patient's general well-being through 76 markers. It delivers a precise assessment of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Elevated levels of these microorganisms can contribute to or exacerbate conditions such as behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and compromised immune function. Individuals facing chronic illnesses and neurological disorders frequently exhibit abnormal organic acid excretion in their urine. Potential factors behind these heightened levels encompass oral antibiotic usage, diets rich in sugar, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, and genetic predispositions.
