Well thank you! My thought process is all over place!Actually I was complimenting your thought process in my statement.

I have tasted that STPP in shrimp at restaurants. The shrimp isn't sweet or crisp. I knew it was a preservative, but didn't know it is a neurotoxin.FYI - sodium tripolyphosphate, or STPP for short is now commonly used for frozen seafood. Most sushi restaurants are using frozen. Not necessarily 'clean' seafood. Shrimp, crabs, scallops, fake crab, and some flaky fish are frozen with this stuff. I encountered this 2x in the last 5 years, one was frozen crab legs from Russia (at Costco in Aus!) and one was frozen scallops from Korea. They use it to 'retain moisture' (consumer pays more for water). Oh and it is a neurotoxin in 'larger' amounts. etc.. For me it was not so bad as msg effect, but changes the taste, strange kinda too salty taste, and some negative gut effect but mild and short duration. We love fresh seafood, and though it is expensive, where we live there are local fishmongers and one can buy fish from that day or before, and freeze it for the future if needs be.
I'm reading a book (perusing actually) about cell wall deficient bacteria and it talks about certain antibiotics inducing bacteria to develop cell wall deficient (CWD) forms. This form, having no cell wall, is more resistant to antibiotic treatment - because many antibiotics rely on destroying the cell wall of the bacteria. There's no mention of c. diff however, but mention of other bacteria in the clostridium genus.I have been reading about Clostridium Difficile because my husband has been diagnosed with it today. It is a "super bug" bacterial infection with a high mortality rate. The doctor said he got it from his last hospital visit for a spinal compression fracture. This is some scary stuff, but it is also suggested that it is under reported in Covid patients deaths. This is such a shocker to me in more ways than one!
"The dearth of studies regarding secondary infections, such as Clostridioides difficile, in COVID-19 patients makes it difficult to measure the effect of the pandemic on antimicrobial stewardship programs and on long term antimicrobial resistance. While increased awareness regarding personal hygiene and extensive use of protective equipment may lead to reductions of healthcare associated infections, the challenge of strictly isolating and managing COVID-19 patients in many healthcare systems, often in proximity to patients colonized with C. difficile, and the inevitable higher workload imposed on healthcare staff could lead to additional hospital transmissions. The increased use of antibiotics to treat COVID-19 may, inadvertently, have resulted in an under-reporting of C. difficile infection. Actually, Spigaglia (2020) has published an article expressing her opinion about the COVID-19 and the impact in elderly patients, who will probably become more susceptible to CDI. The author also demonstrates her concern about the low number of bacterial infections cases related to patients with Sars-Cov-2. To ensure appropriate treatment and to improve patient outcome, increased vigilance and improved diagnosis are both necessary. Given that future emerging viral diseases are highly likely, we would urge increased awareness of the issue and call for informed debate around how to implement effective measures to meet these challenges.
In conclusion, it seems highly likely that cases of CDI are being under-reported among COVID-19 patients and the increased use of antibiotics may, in part, be responsible."
"The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we practice medicine and lead our lives. In addition to pulmonary symptoms; COVID-19 as a syndrome has multisystemic involvement including frequent gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea. Due to microbiome alterations with COVID-19 and frequent antibiotic exposure, COVID-19 can be complicated by Clostridioides difficile infection. Co-infection with these two can be associated with a high risk of complications."
"Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has emerged as a major health care–associated infection; incidence, hospitalizations, and mortality rates are increasing (1,2). Reported case-fatality rates are 6%–30% and seem to be rising."
Determining Mortality Rates Attributable to Clostridium difficile Infection
To determine accuracy of measures of deaths attributable to Clostridium difficile infection, we compared 3 measures for 2007–2008 in Ontario, Canada: death certificate; death within 30 days of infection; and panel review. Data on death within ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
It looks like I am gonna have to visit some of these home remedies...C-diff (Clostridioides difficile) is as its name suggests not easy to treat. My sister has treated it several times with Vancomycin and each time it has reoccurred months later. The table in the article below lists some other things, in addition to honey and black seed oil, for your to consider.
Alimentary and Pharmaceutical Approach to Natural Antimicrobials against Clostridioides difficile Gastrointestinal Infection
Incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has been increasing in recent decades due to different factors, namely (i) extended use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, (ii) transmission within asymptomatic and susceptible patients, and (iii) unbalanced gastrointestinal microbiome and...www.mdpi.com
Edit - I see you already have this article. Best of luck,
