"Paul Nison: Healing Crohn's Disease Paul Nison ate the SAD until age 19 when he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a late stage of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and precursor to the deadly crohn's disease. He suffered colitis flare-ups about six times a year that included ulcerations, sometimes bleeding, and spasmodic, frequent bowel movements. Although Paul's doctor told him that food had nothing to do with his condition, Paul's symptoms improved when he eliminated dairy, eggs, meat and sugar. When Paul was 23, he moved to West Palm Beach, Florida." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"You can easily heal the causes of arthritis, crohn's disease, and psoriasis through cleansing of the liver, kidneys and colon, eliminating animal protein from the diet and eating a nutritious vegetarian diet, while adhering to a balanced lifestyle. I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis over 35 years ago, and once I knew what caused it, I healed it quickly without any medical aid. I appeal to all parents whose children are afflicted with arthritis, crohn's disease, and similar disorders, to protect them against medical treatments designed to destroy their young and growing bodies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"One patient with crohn's disease in Stockholm, Sweden, a relative of a physician, was reported to feel much better after he had been on IPg with inositol. crohn's disease is known to increase the risk of cancer of the affected bowel. Thus, IPg with inositol is very likely to be beneficial in lowering that risk. L.

"Herbal Aid for Crohn's Disease hen diagnosed with crohn's disease or colitis, patients often are advised to take steroids and other drugs to help reduce inflammation of the intestines, the hallmark of both diseases. But these medications don't always effect a remission. Patients may continue to suffer from chronic intestinal cramping, diarrhea and sometimes fever. In such stubborn cases, patients can try to soothe some of the symptoms with herbal remedies as adjunct therapy." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"CD8(+) density and intraepithelial lymphocyte numbers were higher than those in the crohn's disease, LNH, and normal control groups; and CD3 and plasma cell density and crypt proliferation were higher than those in normal and LNH control groups. Epithelial, but not lamina propria, glycosaminoglycans were disrupted. However, the epithelium was HLA-DR(-), suggesting a predominantly T(H)2 response. INTERPRETATION: Immunohistochemistry confirms a distinct lymphocytic colitis in autistic spectrum disorders in which the epithelium appears particularly affected." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Other medical conditions often interpreted as anxiety are hormonal changes involved in menopause and premenstrual syndrome, hypoglycemia, even crohn's disease, during which the person sometimes has periods of dehydration. Environmental allergies are also linked to or mistaken for panic disorders. A significant part of the population is allergic to aspartame, which we find even in natural vitamins. It could be mistaken for anxiety. Or perhaps you're driving and feeling anxious, not realizing that one of the things you may be responding to is the carbon monoxide fumes coming at you." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Blinded comparison was made with 8 children with histologically normal ileum and colon, 10 developmentally normal children with ileal LNH, 15 with crohn's disease, and 14 with ulcerative colitis. Immunohistochemistry was performed for cell lineage and functional markers, and histochemistry was performed for gly-cosaminoglycans and basement membrane thickness. RESULTS: Histology demonstrated lymphocytic colitis in the autistic children, less severe than classical inflammatory bowel disease." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"That's what happens with crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. A genetic predisposition teams up with failed tolerance, and you're left with chronic recurrent bowel inflammation. Your immune system can't handle the bacteria in your intestines, so the bowel lining becomes a battleground where the immune system is constantly attacking bacteria that attach to it. It's like you have an infected rash inside your gut." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Crohn's disease. Streptococcus thermophilus S. thermophilus is found in dairy products such as yogurt. Resistant to stomach acid and bile salts, this probiotic is a good candidate for effectively reaching the intestines after oral consumption. It is efficient in breaking down lactose by producing the enzyme lactase, which is deficient in those with lactose intolerance. S. thermophilus is immune stimulating. It can stimulate the production of cytokine, a chemical used by the immune system to communicate and organize attacks against threatening bacteria and viruses S." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Crohn's disease) and systemic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. This is called the dysbiosis hypothesis. The intestinal mucosa is the mucus coating in the gastrointestinal tract. It plays a dual role: absorbing nutrients and stopping bad substances from getting into the body (through the bloodstream). The health and strength of the intestinal mucosa are very important to immunity and health. The food we consume exposes the gastrointestinal tract to bad microbes that can produce ammonia, endotoxins, hydrogen sulphide, phenols and indoles." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"I appeal to all parents whose children are afflicted with arthritis, crohn's disease, and similar disorders, to protect them against medical treatments designed to destroy their young and growing bodies. The "success" of these drugs is only measured by the degree of destruction or suppression of symptoms they can provide, but not by how much real healing they can induce. Beware of aspirin Who would have thought that the "harmless" aspirin pills millions of people swallow each day a week could actually cause one of the most serious cancers? A study at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "As stated in the article, the FDA has received reports of 30 cases of cancer among children and young adults treated with drugs for rheumatoid arthritis psoriasis, crohn's disease, and other immune system diseases. The drugs involved are: 1. Enbrel, sold by Amgen and Wyeth 2. Remicade, sold by Johnson & Johnson and Schering-Plough 3. Humira, sold by Abbott Laboratories 4.

"A more serious condition not necessarily resulting from IBS is inflammatory bowel disease, which causes ongoing inflammation of the intestines and includes ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease. Inflammatory bowel disease affects fewer people and tends to be hereditary. Notable with IBS is the fact that it is strictly a functional disorder, with no identified structural defects. Though IBS sufferers often seek medical help and rarely require hospitalization, the symptoms can significantly interfere with normal daily activities." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"However, because aphthous ulcers are also seen with common viral infections (such as herpes viruses) and other types of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (in particular crohn's disease), they are not pathognomonic for celiac disease. 3. Reproductive System The reproductive systems of both women and men can be affected by celiac disease. Compared to the general population, women with undiagnosed celiac disease have greater difficulty becoming pregnant [21] and a higher risk for spontaneous abortions [22, 23]." - Ann M.

"You go through some tests and are diagnosed with crohn's disease. Your doctor starts you on a drug called Salfasalazine for now and recommend steroids if your condition doesn't improve. You decide to go to a local Homeopath who was recommended by a friend. The Homeopath recommends you take a high quality liquid multi-vitamin, vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium and acidophilus bifidus and lactobacillus.

"Chronic inflammation has been linked to many health conditions including allergies, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, and autoimmune diseases (like crohn's disease, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis), as well as heart disease and the growth of some cancers. The handful of herbs in Zyflamend work through much the same mechanisms as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce chronic inflammation. They do so in a less-targeted way, incorporating antioxidant and other effects that not only may help to prevent cancer, but also improve the user's overall health." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"It is so difficult to detect (it eludes a TB skin test), that it has taken years for researchers to positively link PARA-TB with crohn's disease (an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, often affecting the small intestine and colon). Many crohn's disease sufferers develop cancer. Mycobacteria are notoriously resistant to conventional antibiotics. Only a select few antibiotics kill mycobacterial infections effectively. Chlorination of tap water doesn't reliably kill off mycobacterium. PARA-TB resists pasteurization." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)
