"Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium that is related to the bacterium that cause
tetanus and botulism."
This implies that the protocol which has just been talked about for food
poisoning should be
suitable for this as well.

What is Clostridium difficile colitis (C. difficile)?
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium that is related to the bacterium that cause
tetanus and botulism. The C. difficile bacterium has two forms, an active, infectious form that
cannot survive in the environment for prolonged periods, and a nonactive, “noninfectious” form,
called a spore, that can survive in the environment for prolonged periods. Although spores cannot
cause infection directly, when they are ingested they transform into the active, infectious form.
C. difficile spores are found frequently in hospitals, nursing homes, extended care facilities, and
nurseries for newborn infants. They can be found on bedpans, furniture, toilet seats, linens,
telephones, stethoscopes, fingernails, rings, floors, infants’ rooms, and diaper pails. They even
can be carried by pets. Thus, these environments are a ready source for infection with C. difficile.
What is Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) colitis?
Antibiotic-associated (C. difficile) colitis is an infection of the colon caused by C. difficile
that occurs primarily among individuals who have been using antibiotics. It is the most common
infection acquired by patients while they are in the hospital. More than three million C. difficile
infections occur in hospitals in the US each year. After a stay of only two days in a hospital, 10%
of patients will develop infection with C. difficile. C. difficile also may be acquired outside of
hospitals in the community. It is estimated that 20,000 infections with C. difficile occur in the
community each year in the U.S.

I have a dear friend who has been diagnosed with Clostridium Difficile
or C-Diff. She has been prescribed Metronidazole to kill the bacteria.
I have given her two quarts of freshly made CS today with a strength of
12 ppm's. Her question is how much should she take? Will it
interact/react with the Metronidazole?
Will the CS kill any of the good bacteria she has been trying to replace
with probiotics?
This appeared after she had a colonoscopy. Apparently she picked up
this bacteria after the procedure. She is having a very difficult time
recovering and the Metronidazole is acting like chemo and making her
extremely ill.
All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
