Fecal Microbial Transplant Patient Success Story
Aloha Dr. Baylac,
May this New Year bring you the blessings of health and joy.
I feel it is important for me to inform you of my current condition. The following is a brief summary of my experiences since I last saw you.
I was diagnosed in July 2013 with “Crohn’s/Colitis” by specialist Dr. Ah***. After performing a colonoscopy, Dr. Ah*** told me this was his best guess. The current standard treatment for Crohn’s/Colitis is RX drugs such as Prednisone. In spite of his strong recommendation, I refused to take it.
I tried several different things to cure my illness. It included our work together as well as special diets, supplements, Sodium Butyrate enemas, fasting for short periods, hypnotherapy, meditation, etc. When nothing I chose to do worked, I was forced to take the bull by the horns. To take control of my own health and try to dig deep to figure out how to make myself well. I did hours upon hours of research on-line regarding my diagnosis. Eventually I came to the conclusion that I had been misdiagnosed. I diagnosed myself with suffering from “Microscopic Colitis”. This is somewhat less serious than Crohn’s/Colitis disease. The symptoms of Microscopic Colitis seemed to closely match mine . When I read that Microscopic Colitis can be caused by over use of Anti-Inflammatory medications, that caught my attention.
You may recall the procedure I had done on my ear in May of 2012 by Specialist Dr. B**** in Honolulu. My ear became inflamed. Dr. B**** recommended taking 4 Advil every six hours until the inflammation went away. I took 96 Advil in 4 days. Again I was misdiagnosed as it was not an infection but rather a condition. Dr. B**** determined this himself. In the long run, this wrecked my gut causing damage to the lining of my colon.
My research lead me to learn about Fecal Microbial Transplant or FMT. This procedure is not routine in the USA nor is it allowed by the AMA. Currently, in the USA, the AMA will only allow this procedure to be done on patients with C. Diff., via colonoscopy.
I had become desperately ill. I lost nearly 20% of my body weight, dropping to just 94 lbs at the worst point. It required all my courage to decide to try something so alternative and far from mainstream medicine. Through my research and experiences, I learned how to perform this procedure at home. I found a very healthy and willing donor. I performed upon myself a total of 17 FMT’s over a 33 day period. This was the cure! I began gaining my weight back after the first FMT. It came back 2lbs by 2lbs. Currently, I am nearly my normal weight, having gained back 22 lbs.
There are many simple details to consider while performing this procedure. I was able to figure it out. The main procedure was a retention enema. I also used two essential oils. These oils are therapeutic grade essential oils. I used Helichrysum and Digestzen oil topically. I also drank organic psyllium husks twice a day.
This procedure is amazing to me. I am comforted as I write this letter and see my truth manifest. My effort, along with the loving help of my donor, cost me nearly nothing. In my opinion, this procedure appears to be a cure. A lifetime of ingesting Prednisone, as Dr. Ah*** recommended, is not a viable solution. Should you wish to know more about my experience I would be very happy to discuss it with you. It is important to share this so other people, who are suffering just like I was and even worse, can find relief.
In health care today, knowledge is power.
Wishing you many blessings for the year ahead.
Aloha,
