In 30 years of practicing medicine, I can't remember one case of C diff that wasn't related to antibiotic usage. I'm sure it happens occasionally without antibiotics, but that must be rare. It's the same playbook. Big pharma's toxic drugs poison the body in some way or other that then requires more of their toxic drugs. It is a vicious cycle with no end if we allow it to happen.

One of the problems we are facing is that they really don't want informed consent, and do NOT want individualized care. They want one cookie-cutter algorithm for everyone and LTC homes all have "policies" that now require all of this crap we don't want. At the present time, I don't think a LTC home is an option for anyone who wants to have bodily autonomy.

Thank you for sharing that Stuart. I guess big pharma may soon profit even more-continue to give microbiome altering drugs and add an additional vaccine. I agree, there is no bodily autonomy along with no freedom in a long term care setting.

I once thought I had a C diff infection (luckily it wasn't) after ten days of taking clindamycin. I tried all of the natural foods and the best probiotic I could find locally, but still had the atomic diarrhea. When I finally obtained a probiotic with ten different strains, I was back to normal in about two days.

That a multi-strain probiotic worked best for you makes sense, targeting what you needed to replenish. Glad it resolved the issue!
