If you are reading this, you are looking for answers about Crohn's disease. You have been told that there is no real reason for this; therefore, therefore, there are no drugs. The only option with which you are left is treatment with powerful pharmaceuticals.
Most likely, you are confused. You are afraid of pain, bloody diarrhea, fatigue, colon removal capacity, cancer, and side effects of the drugs you are taking. In the jungle of the Internet, thousands of sites promise and sell a miracle cure. The situation with Crohn's disease is extremely complex. Even the medical authorities in this field write: "Seventy-five years after the characterization of Crohn was a unique entity, we are still in the dark."
Let me share some ideas about the causes and possible non-drug treatment of this disease. All I can tell you is information from statistical and medical literature, the practice of doctors from other countries, and my own 40 years of experience with Crohn's disease. Yes, we do not know what the real cause of this disease is, but some facts can lead to this problem.
All medical statistics show an increase in autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease, over the last 60 years, mainly in North America, Europe, New Zealand and, especially, in Southeast Asia and South America. We cannot blame genes; they cannot change in 60 years. Some scientists consider Crohn's disease to be a disease of rich people and associate Crohn's disease with Westernization.
You have been told that Crohn's disease is a hereditary disease, so you have not had the opportunity to escape from it. The definite role of genetics is only 15%. I personally believe in the heredity of lifestyle, when over generations people give birth to Cesarean section, feeding only with formulas and eat unhealthy foods, drink alcohol, smoke, have the same vaccination and infections, take antibiotics, NSAIDs and live or work in a toxic environment, etc. d.
It is not surprising that heredity in lifestyle is responsible for many disorders, and medical articles and books prove this. Therefore, 85% of the harmful environmental factors play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases that have been growing over the past 60 years.
You have been told that Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease, when the immune system acts like a madman, attacking a person’s own tissue. As a rule, the immune system is designed to protect people from invaders, such as harmful microorganisms and toxic substances.
There are three common disorders of the immune system. The immune system may be weak after viral, bacterial or parasitic infections, chemotherapy, immunosuppressants, radiation, stress, AIDS, heavy metal toxicity, low adrenal glands, and the thyroid gland, etc. The secondary immune system may work as super-high. We can see this in many allergic diseases, food and chemical sensitivity, vaccinations, chronic infections, etc. All these factors can provoke an abnormal immune response in susceptible individuals.
Unfortunately, there are no specific tests for Crohn's disease; therefore, it needs to exclude alternative diagnoses, such as intestinal infections and parasites, diarrhea after antibiotics, Clostridium difficile diarrhea, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, exacerbation of irritable bowel syndrome-IBS, diverticulitis, NSAID side effects, yeast Candida growth, small intestinal bacterial growth - SIBO, colon cancer and more.
For many years, patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, I constantly believe that the solution for managing autoimmune diseases is to control simultaneous digestion, dysbacteriosis (growth of Candida yeast, reproduction of small intestinal bacteria-SIBO) Acidity.
The key to healthy digestion is healthy pancreatic function and the right balance of friendly intestinal flora. Unfortunately, the useful intestinal flora of modern men is eliminated and changed. If the child did not receive the maternal intestinal flora through natural birth, and the mother or baby received numerous courses of antibiotics from the first year of life, the beneficial intestinal flora is replaced by yeast, harmful bacteria and parasites,
These vile invaders irritate and inflame the walls of the small intestine, create a porous, flowing intestine, they ferment undigested products, producing a large amount of toxins. This can cause a huge load on the immune system with its overload, which is characterized by allergic reactions and allergic diseases. Allergy exists always in Crohn's disease; He is the leading player in all autoimmune diseases.
A modern diet with an unhealthy diet, consumption of chemically modifying, “dead” foods, sugar, white flour, bad fats and oils, processed cow's milk, can cause pancreatic function. The pancreas must produce more pancreatic enzymes in order to digest "dead" foods without natural digestive enzymes. Poorly digested food passes through the porous, flowing gut into the bloodstream, causing additional horrible overwork for the immune system.
In addition, wheat and milk were introduced to human food only 10,000 years ago. Since that time, the digestive systems have poorly adapted to lectins; proteins in grains and beans (for example, gluten) or casein (protein in cow's milk). Poorly digested lectins pass through the porous, flowing intestine into the blood system, attach to body tissues and mimic healthy cells. An embarrassed immune system, attacking lectins, also destroys healthy intestinal cells. Many scientists believe that this may be the central mechanism for triggering a “crazy” immune response, especially in predisposed individuals.
There is also some evidence that Crohn's disease is an infection, and Mycobacterium avium, which causes cows. tuberculosis may play a role in the development of Crohn's disease.
The question arises. Can alternative medicine methods help? My answer is “Yes” because these methods focus not only on aggressive immune response and inflammation, but also on the possible causes of the disease, the consequences of the disease and treatment. Many of these methods are time-tested, scientific and clinical. Some of them are widely used by doctors from other countries. They are:
1. Strictly not lectins, anti Candida, separate and alkaline-forming diet
2. Drinking healing mineral water made from real thermal-thermal salt of Karlovy Vary
3. Super Bile Resistant Probiotics
4. Herbal formulas, herbal extracts and teas
5. High quality and effectiveness of various food additives, such as minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids, various additives to support immunity, reduce pain and frightening, control the growth of Candida yeast, bacteria and parasites, healing of the intestinal membrane and precursors neurotransmitters
6. Acupuncture: Chinese body, Japanese scalp, Russian ear lobe, Korean wrist, cupping, electroacupuncture
7. Medical hypnosis, deep relaxation, individual self-hypnosis CD, etc.
Some of these treatments are virtually unknown in the United States. For example, one of the unknown methods is drinking healing mineral water for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. More than 500 hundred years, European doctors sent their patients with chronic diarrhea or bloody diarrhea to the small Czech town of Karlovy Vary to drink healing mineral water from a thermal spring.
Understanding that the mineral content of this water is the main therapeutic ingredient, Czech doctors manufactured the real thermal salt of Karlovy Vary. By dissolving this salt in water, everyone can make healing mineral water at home. According to scientific research, Karlovy Vary, healing mineral water
• Normalizes acid-base balance
• Improves liver and pancreas function
• Increases the quantity and quality of pancreatic digestive enzymes.
• Promotes the growth of friendly intestinal flora
• Cures damaged intestinal wall, reduces inflammation
• Restore the balance of water, essential minerals and trace elements
Almost all patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease are aware of probiotics and may already be taking them. On the other hand, not many people realize that mixing probiotics with antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and steroids either doesn’t work or could be a potential risk.
We can make an analogy with the gastrointestinal tract with the garden. It is difficult or impossible to grow roses if the garden is full of weeds, pests, rodents, chemicals, and the soil is depleted and insufficient. Roses themselves must also be of acceptable quality. No one can improve the condition of the garden without the help of a qualified specialist. Restoring friendly intestinal flora is vital, but it is not a quick fix and self-treatment.
According to clinical studies and my experience, it is inexpedient to obtain stable remission without restoring normal pancreatic function. Low pancreatic function, a small amount and low quality of pancreatic enzymes aggravate all autoimmune diseases; I explained it in my book. Chronic bloody diarrhea has afflicted humankind for millennia. Therefore, ancient doctors encountered this problem some time ago and gained experience in treating chronic diarrhea, primarily through the healing of food, herbs and acupuncture.
Thus, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the result of a multifactorial interaction between genetic, immune, environmental, digestive, infectious, and possible medical triggers. By accepting this, I do not believe in a panacea or a miracle in this case. Only hard work and collaboration between the patient, his friends, relatives, PCP and knowledgeable, licensed doctors can lead the patient to stable remission. An individual, simultaneously implemented combination of natural, holistic, non-drug alternative medicine methods can be very helpful for people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
The goal is to enhance pancreatic function and complete digestion, restore friendly intestinal flora and normalize acid-base balance, regulate the immune response and inflammation, and replace deficiencies.
Rush doesn't help. Abrupt cessation of medication may lead to a rebound effect, which may worsen the situation. After that, after we help achieve clinical remission, the patient and his doctor will decide on a safe withdrawal from the drug and then overlap them using more non-drug methods.
