Greetings Eric Bakker, Naturopath.
Thanks for coming back.
We're still talking abut comprehensive stool analysis and now we're gonna do a video on
how do we interpret a comprehensive stool test, or how do we analyze a stool test.
So the important thing about stool testing is the preparation.
It's like anything in life if the preparation is good then the actual work is a lot easier.
So makes sure if you're a Naturopath watching this or a doctor, that the patients prepared
properly before the stool test.
Because if they aren't prepared properly you're gonna get potentially dodgy results.
So you can't prescribe a good protocol or craft a good protocol around results that
are not sound that are not absolute to your mind excellent results.
So excellent results are only achieved withholding a probiotics for 14 days and withholding a
veggie microbial supplements for at least a week.
Prescribed medications of course we can't concern ourselves with those.
The diet of the client, I prefer the clients to eat as they wish to eat for that week or
ten days prior to testing, not to go on very strict exclusion diets.
That's not a good idea.
So how do we read a stool test?
Well, this is considering you've completed a Comprehensive Stool Analysis times three
samples, which I fell is the best opening test to do on any patient with any kind of
chronic health problem.
We're talking Autoimmune Disease, we're talking Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel
Disease.
We're talking cancers, we're talking Diabetes, we're talking Heart Disease.
Any kind of chronic known sickness, this is a great test to do.
But even if the client is sick, if someone's been unwell for a long time, and they can't
understand why they're not well, a stool test is always a great foundation test to do.
In my opinion it's superior opening test over the acids test.
It's a superior test over a hair analysis.
It's a superior test over food allergy profiling.
It's a super test over neurotransmitter testing.
It's probably the best foundational test you can do to open a case with.
So, it's quite simple to read a stool test, but it's not simple to understand how to put
all the information together properly and then craft a good protocol on it.
It's also not simple to know when to repeat the second test and change your tactic to
maybe another move.
That comes with experience.
What I can tell you though, it's a very simple test to preform on yourself.
As I mentioned if the prep is good, and you're doing the test, and you get the results.
But I would not recommend if you're very unwell to do the test and then treat yourself off
the test results.
You're better off seeing someone with experience.
So if you look for example at the doctor's data test.
I've got the patients details blurred out here, but we can clearly see this panel here,
the bacterial panel, where basically a bit like traffic lights, we've got go, yes, good,
caution and stop.
Okay?
So obviously you want to have a ton of stuff in this column here.
We don't want anything here, or preferably nothing in here at all, and hopefully minimum
in here.
We can see in this gentleman's case here, he's got pretty good levels of beneficial
bacteria.
So you've got four plus two plus four plus, so you've got some nice numbers along there.
I'll call this guy Greg, but you can see in Greg's case here he's grown candida kefir
and Geotrichum.
So this guy was consuming several ounces of kefir every day, and he's in fact developed
a yeast problem from kefir.
I keep telling people to be careful of kefir, because it can make you sick if your digestion's
not well.
So Greg actually took a whole ton of antimicrobial supplements to work on bad bacteria that he
had.
He's in fact consumed this product here.
He was using the Canxida Remove.
So what this guy did is he cleaned up a whole lot of stuff that was, from back to front
here, was in the red column here.
We did have candida, which we got rid of, but now he's developed candida kefir because
he's drunk far too much kefir, which I'm gonna get him to stop.
So we can see clearly here we've got a bacteria panel, we've got a yeast panel, and then we've
got the parasite panel.
So what you want to do ideally is you want to first detect what bad guys are there and
what qualities are there so you could write that down.
When you've got a candida culture, a live candida culture over one plus it's not really
good, it's a problem.
And especially if we flip to the second page, and you can see in Greg's case here we've
got many yeast and many yeast and many yeast.
So each sample has got lost of dead yeast.
Each sample has got Blastocystis in it, so a parasite.
So that's not very good, but what strengthens this report is the fact that he's got good
levels of beneficial bacteria.
So that's a bonus for Greg is he's got good levels here and it's gonna be an ally.
We've got a few options here.
In this option what we suggested was to treat the candida and the Geotrichum, was to stick
with Canxida Remove.
We made a slight diet change with this guy because he was having a little bit too much
potato and some starches.
We took those out.
We made sure that there was plenty of protein and green, and a lot of vegetable matter in
there.
We basically are working on the yeast in here.
They'll go pretty quick.
They'll take probably about six to eight weeks, we'll get rid of those yeasts.
But however, the Blastocystis is a different ballgame altogether, this parasite.
So in Greg's case it will take time to work on the Blasto, but I would suspect by strengthening
up the beneficial bacteria even more we're gonna get quite a good outcome in this case.
What else can we find?
Well we look at the digestion and absorption panel here.
Now you can see the fat stain is many, and that's because this guy consumes a lot of
coconut fat, that's why that one is up.
Now his Elastase is greater than 500.
You can see the top marker here, back to front here, which is really good because we want
to get a level of around about the four to five hundred.
For someone this age it's quite a nice level.
You can see there's no muscle fibers or vegetable fibers or carbohydrates really showing in
the stool.
Then we can see the inflammatory panel looks all quite good here.
Everything seems to be in the green zone.
Now you can see this marker here, secretory IGA, back to front again.
I like that around about 100 to 150.
He's not bad here but he could be a little bit better than that.
This has probably come about because of the Blasto.
But the immune system's relatively okay here, it's pretty well in tact in spite of having
this amount of parasite in the body.
In fact his symptoms aren't so bad at the moment.
What we've got here, if we look here we found something interesting.
We find Butyrate elevated to 5.7.
So these are called short-chain fatty acids.
They're produced by the fermentation, the bacterial fermentation in the colon.
So at these levels all look reasonably good, but if you have a close look some of them
are low some of them are high.
The Butyrate's 5.7.
This is the one that we will commonly see a little bit imbalanced.
I see that one commonly affected by a parasites.
I see it also bacteria affecting the intestinal wall.
So the intestinal wall gets quite irritated in the colon with Blasto.
I've seen this quite a lot.
Some people get loose bowel motions or bloating or gas.
This guy didn't really have much of that at all, but we can see here clearly an imbalance
in the colon.
So in these sort of cases I recommend every now and then that the person has a colonic.
They eat more glutamine in their diet.
They have antiinflammatory foods in their diet.
That'll all help to reduce and slowly bring that back into balance again.
Most other matters here seem to be in tact with this guy.
Now what Doctor's Data have done, being the nice people that they are, they've given a
sensitivity panel.
So now we can actually see here that these agents here are going to take out this yeast
called Geotrichum.
You can see here grapefruit seed extract is coming back.
It's something that's really going to go to town on this yeast here.
You can also see [inaudible 00:08:31], you can see Caprylic Acid.
We can see a whole lot of stuff here.
Most of these elements are in Canxida Remove.
This is one of the methods for me to create my products was to study a lot of these stool
test reports, literally 1500 to 2000 stool test reports I've studied over time and worked
out the most appropriate antimicrobial agents that seems to work on the bulk of the stool
tests.
That's one of the secrets to developing a product.
When you work enough in the field you get to work out what's going to be effective and
what's not gonna be effective.
So as you can see stool test reports not that hard to interpret, but it's the intelligent
use of the information that's important.
To me a stool test report's a bit like playing a game of chess, you've got an opening move
to make.
You must make that move.
The first move you make can make or break the game.
So when we get the report back the first move we make with our client can be a very big
life changing move, particularly if we're going to take a parasite out of the equation
or work on a bacteria.
So it's the intelligent use of good information that gives you the required outcome that you've
probably been looking for.
The cost of these tests, depending on your doctor, you can get them usually around about
the 400 U.S. dollars for a comprehensive report.
I've seen some doctors scalp patients and charge up to 1200 for these reports.
But yeah, you can actually get them a lot cheaper than that.
So that's a little bit about the CSA, the Comprehensive Stool Analysis.
So yeah if you're interested check out the other videos I've completed.
Otherwise be free to ask me a question.
Please link to this video and I'll try my best to answer the question.
Thanks very much.
