Alternative medicine treatment for Crohn's disease

Alternative medicine treatment for Crohn's disease

If you're reading this, you're looking for answers about Crohn's disease. They were told there was no real reason for it; Therefore, consequently, there is no cure. The only option left to you is treatment with powerful medicines.

Most likely you are confused. You are afraid of pain, bloody diarrhea, fatigue, the possibility of colon removal, cancer, and the side effects of the medications you are taking. In the jungle of the Internet, thousands of websites promise and sell miracle cures. The situation with Crohn's disease is extremely complicated. Even the medical authorities in the field write: "75 years after Crohn's characterization as a unique entity, we are still in the dark."

Let me share some ideas about causes and possible non-drug treatments for this disease. All I will tell you is information from the statistical and medical literature, the practice of doctors from other countries and my own 40-year experience with Crohn's disease. Yes, we don't know what the real cause of this disease is, but some facts can shed light on this problem.

All medical statistics show the growth of autoimmune diseases including Crohn's disease in the last 60 years, mainly in North America, Europe, New Zealand and much less in Southeast Asia, South America. We can't blame genes; They can't change in 60 years. Some scientists consider Crohn's disease to be a disease of the rich and associate Crohn's disease with Westernization.

You were told that Crohn's disease was a hereditary disease, so you had no chance of getting out of it. The final role of genetics is only 15%. I personally believe in the inheritance of lifestyle when people from generation to generation get cesarean section, only formula feed and eat unhealthy foods, drink alcohol, smoke, have the same vaccinations and infections, take antibiotics, NSAID and live or work in the toxic environment etc.

No wonder lifestyle inheritance is responsible for many disorders and medical articles and books prove it. Therefore, 85% of harmful environmental factors play the role in the development of autoimmune diseases, which have increased over the last 60 years.

They were told that Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease when the immune system works like crazy by attacking a person's own tissues. Normally, the immune system is supposed to protect people from invaders such as harmful microorganisms and toxic substances.

There are three common immune system disorders. The immune system may be weak after viral, bacterial or parasitic infections, chemotherapy, immunosuppressants, radiation, stress, AIDS, heavy metal toxicity, low adrenal and thyroid, etc. Secondly, the immune system can work particularly hard. We can see it in many allergic diseases, food and chemical sensitivity, vaccinations, chronic infections, etc. All of these factors can trigger an abnormal immune response in predisposed individuals.

Unfortunately, there are no specific tests for Crohn's disease; Therefore, alternative diagnoses such as intestinal infections and parasites, post-antibiotic diarrhea, Clostridium difficile diarrhea, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, exacerbation of irritable bowel syndrome-IBS, diverticulitis, NSAID side effects, Candida yeast overgrowth, low intestinal bacterial overgrowth – SIBO, colon cancer and more must be ruled out.

I strongly believe that the solution to treating autoimmune diseases that will help patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease for many years is to simultaneously control digestion, dysbiosis (Candida-yeast overgrowth, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth - SIBO) and chronic acidity of the body.

The key to healthy digestion is healthy pancreatic function and a balance of friendly intestinal flora. Unfortunately, the beneficial intestinal flora of modern men is reduced and altered. If the baby did not receive mother-friendly intestinal flora through natural birth and the mother's milk or the child receives numerous courses of antibiotics from the first year of life, the beneficial intestinal flora is replaced by yeast, harmful bacteria and parasites.

These evil invaders irritate and inflame the walls of the small intestine, form a porous, leaky gut, ferment undigested foods, and produce large numbers of toxins. This can put a lot of strain on the immune system with its overload, which manifests itself in allergic reactions and allergic diseases. Allergy is always present in Crohn's disease; It is a leading player in all autoimmune diseases.

Modern diet with unhealthy eating habits, consumption of chemically modifying, "dead" foods, sugar, white flour, bad fats and oils, processed cow's milk, can deplete pancreatic function. The pancreas must produce more pancreatic digestive enzymes to digest “dead” foods without natural digestive enzymes. Improperly digested food passes through the porous, leaky gut into the blood, causing additional terrible immune system overload.

In addition, wheat and milk were introduced into the human diet only 10,000 years ago. From that time on, digestive systems did not adapt well to lectins; Proteins in grains and beans (e.g. gluten) or casein (protein in cow's milk). Poorly digested lectins enter the blood system through the porous, leaky intestinal wall, attach to the body tissue and mimic the healthy cells. Confused immune system by attacking the lectins also destroys the healthy intestinal cells. Many scientists believe it may be a central mechanism for triggering a “crazy” immune response, particularly in predisposed individuals.

There is also evidence that Crohn's disease is an infection, and Mycobacterium avium, which causes kitchen 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 responses and inflammation, but also on possible causes of the disease, consequences of the disease and treatments. Many of these methods are proven, scientific and clinically based methods. Some are commonly used by doctors in other countries. They are:

1. Strictly no lectins, anti-candida, separate and alkaline forming diet

2. Drink healing mineral water made from real Karlovy Vary thermal spring salt

3. Super strains, bile-resistant probiotics

4. Herbal formulas, herbal extracts and teas

5. High quality and effective variety of nutritional supplements such as minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids, various supplements to support immunity, reduce pain and scarring, combat Candida yeast overgrowth, bacteria and parasites, heal intestinal mucosa and neurotransmitter precursors

6. Acupuncture: Chinese body, Japanese scalp, Russian earlobe, Korean wrist foot, cupping, electroacupuncture

7. Medical hypnosis, deep relaxation, custom self-hypnosis CD, etc.

Some of these healing methods 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. For more than 500 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 the thermal spring.

Aware that the mineral content of this water is a key therapeutic ingredient, Czech doctors suggested producing the real Karlovy Vary thermal spring salt. By dissolving this salt in water, anyone can make healing mineral water at home. Through scientific research, Karlovy Vary mineral water heals

• 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

• Heals damaged intestinal walls, reduces inflammation

• Restore the balance between water, essential minerals and trace elements

Almost all patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease know about probiotics and may already be taking them. On the other hand, not too many people realize that mixing probiotics with antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and steroids either doesn't work or carries potential risk.

We can make the analogy of the gastrointestinal tract with gardening. It is difficult or impossible to grow roses if the garden is full of weeds, pests, rodents, chemicals and the soil is drained and deficient. The roses themselves must also be of acceptable quality. No one can improve the condition of the garden without the help of a qualified professional. Restoring friendly intestinal flora is crucial, but not a quick fix and self-treatment.

According to clinical studies and my experience, it is impractical to achieve stable remission without restoring normal pancreatic gland function. The low function of the pancreas, the small quantity and poor quality of pancreatic digestive enzymes all aggravate autoimmune diseases. I explained this in my eBook. Chronic bloody diarrhea impacted humanity for millennia. Therefore, ancient doctors faced this problem some time ago and gained experience in treating chronic diarrhea, mainly through healing foods, herbs and acupuncture.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the result of a multi-factor interaction between genetic, immune, environmental, digestive, infectious and possible medical triggers. If I accept that, I don't believe in the panacea or miracle in this case. Only the hard work and collaboration between the patient, their friends, relatives, PCP and knowledgeable licensed physicians can bring the patient into stable remission. A tailored, simultaneous combination of natural, holistic, non-drug alternative medicine methods can be of great benefit to people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

The aim is to improve pancreatic function and overall digestion, restore friendly intestinal flora and normalize acid-base balance, regulate immune response and inflammation and replace deficiencies.

Rushing doesn't help. Stopping medication suddenly can cause a rebound effect, which can make the situation worse. After we have contributed to achieving clinical remission, the patient and his doctor will decide on a safe withdrawal from the drug by overlapping them using more non-drug methods.
