Hi
Re my previous post about trying natural antibiotics to get rid of c.freundii bacteria, I found info on Goldenseal that, according to research, is just as good as pharmaceutical products. I have copied over the info for you to read, as you will see it mentions Goldenseal killed c.freundii in fish, so ignore the fact a fish was cured and accept that goldenseal actually killed the bacteria, then it might be worth conbsideration as a cure. Another treatment you might consider is lactoferrin, which not only kills bad bacteria but helps the growth of good bacteria, again I have copied some info on this below. Hope it helps.
GOLDENSEAL
...“ The fact that Goldenseal can be used as a lethal antibiotic was illustrated in a study from the University of North Carolina, where researchers tested Goldenseal against several strains of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria.
The researchers tested both raw Goldenseal and Berberine – an antibiotic component extracted from Goldenseal against various USA300 strains of MRSA.
The researchers found that while the Berberine inhibited MRSA significantly – with average minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 150 micrograms per milliliter – the Goldenseal inhibited the MRSA strains at a rate two times the rate of Berberine – with an MICs of 75 micrograms per milliliter.
Other studies have also showed Goldenseal’s ability to outperform pharmaceutical antibiotics in combating bacterial infections. For example, researchers from the Egyptian Agricultural Research Center compared giving antibiotic pharmaceuticals to infected fish in an infected aquaculture farm with giving Goldenseal to infected fish.
The fish had been infected with Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Citobacter freundii – which combined to kill most of the fish that went untreated.
They were able to naturally divide the fish into cages that allowed them to be separated. The cages where the fish were given the antibiotics, 84% of the fish survived due to their being given the antibiotics.
But among the fish given the Goldenseal, a full 87% of the fish survived – surpassing the 84% survival rate of the antibiotic medicines given to the other fish.
LACTOFERRIN
From Lactoferrin, by Michael Murray, ND:
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial action: "shown to be effective in inhibiting the growth of disease causing protozoa, yeast, bacteria, and viruses. More important than actually killing organisms, is the recent discovery that lactoferrin prevents the attachment of disease causing organisms to cells that line the mouth and entire gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, lactoferrin is a powerful growth promoter of health promoting bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species. By preventing growth of harmful bacteria while promoting the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria, lactoferrin assists in the development of a proper intestinal flora.
Regulation of inflammation: "One interesting mechanisms is lactoferrin’s binding to bacterial endotoxins. These lipopolysaccharide components of certain gut-derived bacteria are major stimulators of inflammation."
Murray lists references at the end of this page, without tying them to the points he makes. But this one may be relevant: Zhang GH, Mann DM, Tsai CM. Neutralization of endotoxin in vitro and in vivo by a human lactoferrin-derived peptide. Infect Immun 1999;67(3):
