🍬: Had Cdiff, they made me take probiotics after... it was crazy

The CDiff is protective.... Eat more chocolate 😎💪🏻

Prandial glucose changes induced by two Oikos yogurts , one cup of fruit salad (primary peak), secondary peak related to six chocolate(and possibly Cdiff) covered macadamia nuts. #CGM #ThugLife Curious about what the burrito challenge will show

Make America Healthy Again: The Regulatory Trap Killing Low-Cost Cures Is the FDA protecting patients or protecting profits? John Hare has spent nearly 30 years developing Meggabiotics – a groundbreaking platform using IGY antibodies from hen eggs to treat and prevent human gut infections like C. difficile. His oral, egg-based treatment is safe, simple, and inexpensive to produce. So why isn't it on the market? In this candid video, John explains how the current FDA regulatory system forces every new treatment – no matter how safe – through the same $1–3 billion approval gauntlet as complex oncology drugs. The result? Low-cost, low-risk cures never reach patients. John connects this to the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and proposes a radical but logical fix: → The FDA should only regulate safety. Let companies prove effectiveness to the public. If that sounds like common sense – watch the full video. 🔗 Learn more: meggabiotics.com/ Key Topics Covered: What are Meggabiotics?

Excellent article. As someone who works in the thick of scorecards and also the minutiae of timely tasks to “meet the criteria of the measure”, so many great points. I believe the work to reduce CLABSI, CAUTI and CDiff has been extraordinary. Readmissions are the Holy Grail.

I'm going to be honest and vulnerable. I have health issues. I don't know what "ground zero" was. My MTHFR variant. My HLA-B27 antigen? Getting obese in 2015-2018? Cdiff in 2018? Too rapid weight loss and under eating on keto in 2019? Poor SSRI reaction in 2020? Poor gabapentin reaction in 2021? Post Covid issues in 2023? Too much liver in 2023? Low A diet backfiring in 2024? Poor cipro reaction in 2024? All of the above? I dunno. i don't operate in the health space bc i'm trying to look good. I'm not building a brand. I don't think I'm trying too hard to give a performance or look smart. I'm just trying to consume information and share information i consume in the hopes that some of it shortcuts the searches other people are making. I don't even have any delusions about my longevity. Nobody feels the way I've felt, with the symptoms that I've had, for 6-8 years and makes it to retirement. Maybe I just have something digestive i can't fix. Maybe I have MGUS (i've been sent to oncology for a year on this suspicion) that turns into a blood cancer. My derms, PCP, gastro, neuro, rhuem stay at a loss with me. I smoked from 13-29yo. I ate like shit until I was about 37 - like a child. I love pizza. chicken fingers. alcohol, white can Monsters. In the past 8 years I've been trying to "get better" and to use lifestyle interventions (weights, jogging, food, sauna, walking, swimming, sun access, sleep routines), when medicine fails (or harms) me. I do this because i need to maximize my time with my wife and kid, and hopefully not suffer along the way. I've done keto. sorta low-fat plant based. carnivore. carnivore with fruits. Low Retinol. I play with supplements, high antioxidant foods (or avoiding them). I've used AutoImmune Protocol to kinda-sorta navigate the aforementioned diets. I've ended up in a space that dances between MastCell360 and Ray Peat principles. I've made plant smoothies that i thought I couldn't get one more gulp down. I've literally cried over NY Strips because i was so fucking tired of steak. I've eaten things with regularity that i thought were gross af, just because for a while i was convinced or curious about their health benefits. Heart. Kidney. Liver. Broccoli sprouts. White Daikon Radish Sprouts. Chokeberries. Natto. Kale smoothies. The past couple of months, the grand bulk of my diet was rice and meat with salt. I even had to give up coffee for a while because i was reacting to it. I was reacting to oranges. shrimp. apples. coconut aminos. A2 milk. I was reacting to basically all seasonings aside from salt. I've done intermittent fasting (18/6). I've done 1-2 day fasts. I've done 2, 5-day water fasts. I've been low LA for ...2-3 years (depending on how you wantto define that). To be honest.. i look at food, for the most part, like you would brushing your teeth or taking a shit. It's maintenance. Something i have to do. It's putting gas in the car. I don't really enjoy food much anymore. I still like steak. I like mango and salted oranges. I find things to like and appreciate where i can. But i don't get into the culinary, "make eating an experience" type of thing. I have eaten so restrictively for so long, it's not really where I get my joy from. I get joy when making it - everything from single ingredient fresh whole goods - just isn't a hassle. If you asked me for a meal that i could have before the prison guards take me for execution - it'd be rockerfeller oysters, lobster with butter, a steak (strip) and a bottle of cab watching a sunset. If it's not that, then i just don't really care. And the reality is red wine or any alcohol may never touch my lips again. Not an alcoholic ..but it's just a complication that i can't afford. But i spend no TLC making my eggs in the morning - i'm busy. It's over-hard.. they get a single flip. They're boring. But i certainly appreciate well made eggs.

My mom received a call from her GI drs office requesting to schedule a colonoscopy. My mother had lost her colon to cdiff months back and had an ileostomy.🙄 Update your records, folks.

I am well aware. She nearly died of cdiff a couple yrs ago. We fixed her up. She is 92. She doesn’t have long although nothing is “actively” wrong with here. Her mind is about 90% on statins. She can eat whatever afaic, I try but she gets super pissy so I figure why bother. 🤷🏻‍♀️

no bc i have a patient with cdiff💔
