What Is The Cause And Treatment For C-DIFF?

May 26, 2014 I have a Sister-in-law (Ann) in CA who has advanced Alzheimer s and has recently contracted what they call C-DIFF. My Brother, Joseph C. Klink, (Phone 707- 447- 2285 Home) is undergoing a tremendous amount of Stress and Confusion from the Doctors, and Medical Community, which he is having to deal with directly. My Specific Questions are: 1.) Are You familiar with what is termed C-DIFF , and are there any effective treatments for it? 2.) Are You familiar with Fecal Transfer , and might you recommend it as a Treatment for C-DIFF? 3.) Also are you Familiar with GlycoNutrients, and whether they are worthwhile for someone with C-DIFF and Advanced Alzheimers? 4.) Are you familiar with the usage of Internal Hydrogen Peroxide, and whether it may be helpful to Ann, with her Alzheimer s and C-DIFF? 5.) Is there any known Cure at all for C-DIFF? 6.) Is there any known Cure at all for Alzheimer s Disease? Please feel free to respond to these questions to me, but more importantly, directly to my Brother Joe, at the listed phone number in CA. He does not have Internet Usage. I ll leave that option to you. He has given me authority to do some research for him and Ann.

Hi
Thanks for your query for your sister-in-law.
Noted the history that she is suffering from Alzheimer's and C-diff. I can understand the stress her brother would be having.
Read all your questions and would like to give answers with explanations wherever necessary. You may please call him tell the answers.
Specific Questions are:
1.) Are You familiar with what is termed C-DIFF , and are there any effective treatments for it?
Yes, all the Doctor are. This is not a very rare disease or so.
There are effective treatments available for C.diff infection and should have been started by her Doctors by this time.
2.) Are You familiar with Fecal Transfer , and might you recommend it as a Treatment for C-DIFF?
> This is done only if the medical management fails.
3.) Also are you Familiar with GlycoNutrients, and whether they are worthwhile for someone with C-DIFF and Advanced Alzheimers?
This again is tried only if the regular treatment fails.
4.) Are you familiar with the usage of Internal Hydrogen Peroxide, and whether it may be helpful to Ann, with her Alzheimer s and C-DIFF?
This can be dangerous as it releases heat also, hence to be done by someone experienced in doing so.
5.) Is there any known Cure at all for C-DIFF?
This is surely treatable and curable.
6.) Is there any known Cure at all for Alzheimer s Disease?
This is not at all curable.
I hope these answers clears your doubts.
