Dear All, This is my amateur bad attempt to try to make my videos a little more fun. It’s a conversation starter — not medical advice. If you’d like more information, please check out my blog, where under the article “probiotics” I posted more detailed information: www.bostonmedicalstudent.wordpress.com here are some references: The main point is that: 1) clostridium difficile is a serious, bad, bacterial problem in the US that hits patients who have taken antibiotics and patients who are in the hospital. Just today, (4/30/07) our professor told us that four patients died of clostridium difficile at his hospital last year. The bad news is that conventional antibiotics can fail to cure clostridium difficile. And when they fail it could lead to death. The good news it that they could be potentially treated with probiotics (although a funkier version of probiotics) when conventional antibiotics fail. It might seem ridiculous to try Dr. Aas’ probiotics — but I want to bring his work to your attention because conventional antibiotics do fail with regards to c. difficile. With Dr. Aas, he’s reported success with this form of treatment when patients can’t fight off C. difficile with metronidazole or vancomycin (these are the common antibiotic treatments). Point #2: Von Niel argues that probiotics should be considered a mainstream therapy given the many positive results seen in randomized controlled trials (see the Von Niel reference). Unfortunately, it has been slow to catch …

i think ur on meds
One of the best probiotics supplments is Jarrow Formulas’ Jarro-Dophilus. The enteric-coated (so that the bacteria will not be destroyed by the stomach acid enroute to the intestines) capsules are even individually blister-sealed. Get it from iherb and use YAN312 to receive a $5 discount off your oder.
Great video. Truly our biology is an ecology, it doesnt pay to fuck with it.
natthetubanut, see my video on food and inflammation, it may help. I also can not get boozy anymore.
I have nec. im 19 yrs old now but if any of you have questions please do not hesistate to ask no matter how embarrassing.
Ive had an ileostomy, colostomy, durhumel procedure, short gut syndrome and golden staph. as well. am am at the moment (although since born)experiencing difficulties with diet among many other probs. but finding it REALLY difficult cos i cant go out and party with my friends or drink alcohol cos it has negative impact on my stomach. is anyone finding that with alcohol?
The first doctor who diagnosed me with “IBS” 9 years ago replied to my comment that yogurt was an almost instant cure by saying milk products are constipating. It is true that new treatments take a while to catch on but the open mind in this video will certianly help that process along. Ask questions, find answers.
It’s quite interesting how doctors and pharmacists encourage patients to eat yogurt, etc at an appropriate time (1 or 2 hours)before or after taking antibiotics to counter gastrointestinal problems but most do not recognize or treat a bacterial imbalance as a genuine ailment. Some do and if you find one consider yourself lucky but also closer to better health.
It IS real information. Your attitude is like that of the Church that denounced Galileo’s observations. Everytime you touch your mouth with your hands or eat something that has been exposed to air flow in the home you are innoculating yourself with bacteria. This video just indicates an instantaneous method of innoculation bypassing the sterilizing gastric juices.
When ___ was 2 and had a bunch of rounds of antibiotics because an ear infection wouldn’t go away ___developed chronicD. The Doctor told me to give her one month of liquid soy similac…the stool became semi soft and finally after one month normal stool. Something about the hormones on the vili thingies in the colon get lost and need to be replaced. The only thing bad about soy similac is the hormonal issue and the after effect it may or may not have on one.Hamsters eat probiotics 2.
Maybe one day you will become the chief physician (surgeon) in the gastroenterology department at BU medical center. They could use someone with an open mind like you have.
how to get those bacteria in the probiotic? is it in the air surround us? how did companies produce those bacteria? does anyone know?

Hi I have chrohns disease and I was wondering if this type of treatment might be a way to cure this disease and if there is more information about this.
Thank you for this excellent display of information. I just found out my father has Celiac disease and I read up on it. It’s basically where the small intestine’s villi (I hope that’s how you spell it, the little nutrient grabbing micro hands) are not able to grab nutritious vitamins from food eaten when gluten products such as wheat, barley or rye is introduced. I feel probiotics can help with Celiac disease. What are your thoughts? Do you think the Dr. in Minnesota could help my father?
Hey-
It worked great for me and about 6 others I recommended it to. Maybe your freind, who knows. An 8 pack costs 4 bucks in the grocery store. Take one per day for a week problems should disapperar after 4 days…
i heard these lab mice needed many times the normal amount of vitamins for their bodies to absorb any of it.
so maybe i should recommend that to a friend of mine? he has to sit upright in his bed to be able to sleep, because of reflux.
fun fact: poo transplants have been done on people, with good results!
i have heard of this…
as one in the hospital got a milkshake with some dookie in it and it cured him…yes i have heard of this….
thanks…
Researchers have raised mice which have no bacteria in their gut. The mice lived okay but did not flourish until innoculated with beneficial bacteria. A stool transplant,IMO, is really just a glorified probiotic containing about 350-400 types of microorganisms among other things.
IMO, the contents of our intestines act like a compost pile. Everyone agrees that compost provides benefit to plants. Our bacteria living in our internal compost pile produce various compounds and vitamins important to us. There is also a complex symbiosis between bacteria and the cells lining our gut which stimulates our immunity and helps protect us against overgrowth of bad bacteria. There are about 300-400 types of bacteria in a healthy human gut.
farts like you contamanate youtube. what if some one was looking for real information. why don’t u make a skit of HIV. ass wipe.
