BODHI'S JOURNEY

I would like to share Bodhi’s story. Bodhi is a beautiful, sweet Golden Retriever. He is 1 1/2 years old. I have followed holistic care protocol since I got Bodhi at 8 weeks of age, but despite of that, he developed severe diarrhea and colitis in the fall of 2017. He had several trials of antibiotics, multiple tests (all came back pretty much normal), and multiple dietary interventions. He has been on a home cooked bland diet, but nothing helped. His symptoms continued to get worse, and developed into chronic colitis. He lost a lot of weight, had low energy, and was clearly uncomfortable most of the time. With each trial of antibiotics, he seemed to get worse (he would respond initially and then relapse). I was feeling pretty desperate, and felt terrible for him.

I learned about Dr. Roman’s work and came to MASH, hoping to try a fecal transplant. Dr. Roman performed a combination of ozone therapy and fecal transplant, and within 24 hours, Bodhi’s symptoms improved dramatically. He has not had colitis or diarrhea since! It has now been almost 3 weeks, and he has not been asymptomatic for this long for months. A few days after the transplant, he ate some bird seed (which would previously cause a huge flare up). He did not develop any symptoms - and this was a true “test,” given his extreme sensitivities! He has finally put on some much needed weight. He is playful, happy, and acts like a different dog. People who know us comment on how good he looks. I have not changed his diet yet, and have been very slow in introducing supplements - so this must be directly related to the transplant. Needless to say, Bodhi and I are thrilled, and very, very grateful. Thank you, MASH and Dr. Roman!
