Nutrition Part III: Probiotics

[simplicityairjesus]

my father has this c diff with colitis he is really suffering, if a person has major surgery for a perferated ulcer, recieved a heavey does of antibiotics, he has had reocouring for three times now. why dont hospitals do this with out question they should do this for a person on heavey doeses of antibiotics, he is so sick

I had 3 dental mercury amalgams removed 2 weeks ago. Didn't know I should see a specialist, so nothing done to prevent mercury exposure. I've ALWAYS had good gastrointestinal and overall health. This week my "end" is on FIRE so much that it wakes me. Maybe coincidence? I found a study on the herb cilantro shown to chelate toxic metal-comes out in urine. I found also about fermented sauerkraut (unpasteurized) and its affect on the gut and gastrointestinal well-being. Your thoughts? Many thanks.

[ErmUhOkFine]

@ErmUhOkFine Jeff, don't comment on the affects of mercury amalgams as I'm sure you know that subject is STRICTLY taboo for anyone in good standing with the ADA. I don't wish you to open that can of worms. Specifically I'm wondering about the affect of fermented unpasteurized sauerkraut on digestion seeing as this video is on probiotics. BTW, I can't find unpasteurized sauerkraut available in stores, so I'll be making it at home the old fashioned way. The recipe looks pretty simple. Thanks.

[snowfert]

did you truly ask your micro teacher about clostridium and she didnt know?!? Or was that said just for the sake of this video? If your micro teacher didnt know, and youre on rotation...I would be quite concerned... =/

[bicepsca]

my father has c-dif and he is still in the hospital, he is fed a tube in the stomach do you suggest anything that can help him, he can't swallow because he had throat cancer

[alzghoulakef]

[Cellimmunitydotcom]

I used to have arthritis pain all throughout my body, had pain for years and years, not until a friend of mine told me about an all natural, little known protein, did my pain go away.

i think ur on meds

[hanksee]

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. :)

[madscirat]

Great video. Truly our biology is an ecology, it doesnt pay to fuck with it.

[natthetubanut]

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?

[madscirat]

natthetubanut, see my video on food and inflammation, it may help. I also can not get boozy anymore.

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.

[elvis102303]

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.

[ZoeyMacaroni]

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.

[Pauack32]

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.

[angud2000]

how to get those bacteria in the probiotic? is it in the air surround us? how did companies produce those bacteria? does anyone know?

[davehutc]

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.

[Miss1aNNeOnLy]

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?

[stigandr]

fun fact: poo transplants have been done on people, with good results!

[SOYH]

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...

[parduspilot]

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.

[jiimy21]

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.

[parduspilot]

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.

[gblueslover1]

Indeed. What I'm guessing, is that in our digestive system the digestive acids are initially responsible for breaking down the food we intake. Secondarily, the GOOD bacteria in our flora breaks the food down at a finer rate. The absence of good bacteria MUST have some type of effect on our bodies prodcuing too much digestive acid = That's what more than likely CAUSES Gerd.

[gblueslover1]

well on a much lower level, I used to have acid reflux, commonly known as GERD. Since I've drinking Danactive evry day, i've totally skipped my Protonix treatments, and I'm CURED. Have no idea how that happened...but it works, and I've told others as well, and the news is spreading !

[usmedstudent]

wow interesting. i haven't heard about this before, but i will try to keep it on my radar screen. thanks!

[stigandr]

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.

[gblueslover1]

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...

[itsnotaspiderbite]

can you speak about how this bacteria is different than MRSA staph bacteria?

[usmedstudent]

thanks for your question and thanks for your interest in science and medicine! -- this bacteria is non-infectious (the probiotics I talk about in the video are non-infectious. MRSA staph

is a very nasty bacteria that if left untreated can basically kill a person -- it's a bug that is resistant to methycillin type antibiotic.

[Doinkblink]

A good source for info about this is "Know the Cause" with Doug Kaufmann on the web. He talks about too much fungal and mold exposure. The low carb plan really helps. He is also on the NRB DirecTV ch 378 daily. This info is also very helpful in dealing with Autism.

[mih9a]

USMedStudent, thanks for helping me appreciate science more.

[usmedstudent]

thank you mih9a!

[mulderofkcp]

i never knew eating shit was good for health? if someone told me to eat shit, i would say thanks to him/her

[parduspilot]

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.

[stigandr]

i heard these lab mice needed many times the normal amount of vitamins for their bodies to absorb any of it.

[meggiblu]

You are going to be a fantastic Doctor! Drs that have an understanding and appreciation of nutritional aspects of disease are wonderful to find. When I stayed in Germany with friends I learned how much nutrition and herbs play a big role in treatments from the medical profession there. They also frown on microwaving foods to preserve natural enzymes needed for digestion. Interesting how countries differ.

[ranns1982]

awesome!

thank u sooooooooooooooooo much :)

please keep on :)

[PoiZinConTrol]

Thank you. That was a really good video and I must add that I believe you will be a very successful doctor.

[carmwoman15]

Hi Urgelt,

What a wonderful video. I have had crohns disease for over 43 years, 3 resections of the small bowel, have tried a lot of drugs etc.

I would like to hear more of your advice.

I live in Australia. Can you tell me what type of probiotics to use please?

Thanks so much, for making this video for YouTube

[usmedstudent]

Thanks a lot for your comment! It's so interesting that you wrote right about now because a new paper came out from the Lancet talking about management of Crohn's disease and probiotics. If you can send me your e-mail address I will be happy to e-mail you both papers.

1) Lancet 2007; 369: 1641--57

2) Kruis W et al. Maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis with the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 is as effective as with standard mesalazine. Gut 2004; 53: 1617--23.

[Urgelt]

Thanks for chiming in, USMedStudent, you've helped to expand my appreciation of probiotics.

A remark for comment readers: Atopic diseases are immune system-related disorders such as food allergies, hay fever, eczema, and asthma.

Stool transplantations, huh. Now that is really beyond my ability to think up on my own. :-)

Were you going to post a link to safety considerations?

[usmedstudent]

Hi Urgelt, Thanks so much for your encouragement! The safety information is up in a paper from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (please see video description).

[Urgelt]

Excellent, thanks!

[xRobiLiciousx]

Thanks both of you, the emotion I've felt while watching the pair of you is amazing!

Who would've thought the Nazi's intolerable techniques would've helped to focus science today?

Dr!! You were an excellent key in the making of all of this!

You both should stick together, and rebel together, others will follow you, bring a new purpose to youtube "AS ONE" rather than a commercial value!
