Hi Sarah,

Its the first time i hear about breema therapy so there is not much
i can say about it.

Chinese medicine is a very complex system of healing.
Its two main modalities are Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas.
you can learn more about it in this link:
http://www.healthy.net/asp/templates/article.asp?id=1278

The second link is an example of how we treat crohn's and colitis,
its is of course meant to be used only by professional chinese
medicine practitioners:
http://www.medicalacupuncture.org/aama_marf/journal/vol13_3/article1.h
tml

As for me, from the time i have started to practice chinese medicine,
i no longer suffer from its symptoms and the disease is not
interfering with my life.

Feel Well,
Dan Levin

Has anyone tried or heard of Breema therapy in the treatment of crohns?
It is not alternative medicine, but integrated.

www.breema.com

All answers will be deeply appreciated.

Hi Danny,
 
Have you heard about Breema Therapy (http://www.breema.com)

From what I have heard of it, it is not alternative medicine but integrated medicine.
 
Can you tell me more about Chinese medicine and how it helps you, as well as where they don't here.
 
As you can tell, I'm reaching a "desperado" stage.

Thanks
 
Sarah

Dear Sarah,

I sorry to hear that the reduction in dosage gave rise to the pain.
I can't advise you in regard the the dosage as i'm not a doctor.
What i can advise you is additionally to the western medicine,
try a branch in the complementary medicine.
Personally i can represent chinese medicine but other modalities
can be helpful as well.

All The Best,
Danny

Hi,

I have colitis and was on Rafassal for a few months. It did help in the beginning, but then things started to get bad again. My doctor then switched me to Asacol- and I just got frustrated and decided to try something completely different. That beingHydrotherapy.

A friend of mine referred me to a clinic that does hydrotherapy- basically detox through colon cleansing. I have been doing it everday for the past month. It is not the most pleasant experiene, and I am not feeling better yet. In fact, I feel a bit worse. I have lost about 10 pounds, have migraines and other uncomfortable symptoms.

The idea behind colon cleansing makes sense, I am just worried that perhaps in my case, having colitis- it might be counter-effective.

Does anyone out there know about this treatment?

CROHN'S DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL MEDITERRANEAN FEVER
Department of Gastroenterology, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Telhashomer, Israel. hermafidder@...
 
Crohn disease and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) are inflammatory diseases characterized by abdominal pain and fever. The concurrence of the 2 diseases (FMF-CD) may pose a challenge to diagnosis and treatment. We undertook the present study to determine the prevalence of Crohn disease in FMF and to characterize FMF-CD patients clinically and genetically. Using a computerized search, the patients of our FMF clinic were screened for a concomitant diagnosis of Crohn disease. Patients and their medical records were thoroughly examined, and their DNA was genotyped for mutations in the MEFV gene. Control groups of ethnically and sex-matched patients suffering from each of the diseases alone, either Crohn disease or FMF, were used for comparison. We identified 7 patients with concomitant Crohn disease and FMF, which is more than the expected prevalence in the general population (p = 0.03). Crohn disease presented at a significantly later age in the FMF-CD group (40.6 +/- 10.0 yr versus 26.2 +/- 11.4 yr; p < 0.004). Disease severity and other characteristics of Crohn disease were comparable to the Crohn disease control group. Contrary to the FMF control group patients, FMF in FMF-CD patients was characterized by a higher attack frequency (p < 0.05) and increased prevalence of amyloidosis (p < 0.02). The overall severity score was similar in both groups. In conclusion, Crohn disease appears to be more prevalent in FMF and presents later than in patients without FMF. FMF in this group of patients shows a higher attack frequency and is more often complicated by amyloidosis.

I am on a similar diet (except I dont touch potatoes, rice or other long-chain
carbs)
since humans cant digest them.

also, I eat all raw veggies and take 1-2 tablespoons of psyllium powder in 16 oz
of water every morning.

As far as spices go, cayenne all the way...I must go thru a baggy of it every
month,
its a great natural way to keep inflammation down.

Aqueated Bentonite and home made yoghurt (fermented for 24-30 hrs) is also
great...
if you are to lazy to make your own yog. and have tonnes of money to
waste, buy bio-k

Have been doing this for years and I am rarely bothered by the disease, which
was originally
classified as very severe universal ulcerative colitis.

שלום דני.

מבחינת הרפואה הסינית יש להתאים תזונה לכול אדם באופן אישי שכן כל
אדם מציג סימפטומים שונים, גם כשמדובר במחלת קרהון.
אולם יש מספר עקרונות שרצוי לשמור:
- בשום אופן לא לאכול שום מוצרי חלב!!! (במידה והקרון יציב ניתן לצרוך
   מאת מוצרי עזים, יש הטוענים שחלב נאקות עוזר מעוד לחולי קרוהן).
- להימנע מבשר בכר, ניתן לצרוך דגים ועוף. (סרדינים עשירים מעוד בסידן).
- במידה והקרהון פעיל להימנע ממוצרים עשירים בסיבים (קמח מלא, אורז מלה,
   פירות טרופים ובמיוחד אפרסמונים עלולים ליצור בעיות).
- לא להוסיף תבלינים חריפים.
- להימנע ממוצרים המחילים קופאין.
- כדאי לנסות תא קמומיל ולראות איך הוא משפיע.

Hello,
  Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant.
I CURED my severe condition of ulcerative colitis over
20 years
ago with a vitamin E enema you prepare yourself and
diet.No other
medication. No problems since.Results within one
week.The correct
diet of fiber binds the stool and removes the constant
colon
irritation produced by wrong food choices and gives
the open
sores a chance to heal.The vitamin E enema works with
the body
immune system to heal the colon wall.I have 3
attachments that
tells my experience and the procedure used.Please send
your
request to sheldon33132@...

The enemas are made from the vitamin E you buy in a
drugstore.

Hi.

I just came across this group. I have been searching for information
on Colitis on the web. I am 23, live in Israel, and was diagnosed
with colitis recently. I first started taking Flagyl, which made me
feel awful, and now am on Rafassal. So far its been a few days, and
I don't really see any change. Is anyone familiar with this drug? I
am concerned about side effects. Iam supposed to take 2 pills, 3x a
day, and they are 500 mg. Any information would be helpful for me.

I am now 67 years old with no ulceraitve colitis conditions. When I
was 18 years old, I
was going South below the equator to catch 300 tons of tuna. We had a
full crew of 17
men, so I had to sleep in the net locker underneath the automatic
pilot gears which made
loud whining sounds all night long. By the time we reached Panama, I
had ulcerative
colitis. I began to bleed 7 times each day, bloody diahrea while I
ate my three healthy
meals a day. It was a long trip. I arrived back in San Diego 5 months
later with bloody
diahrea. I went to Dr. Milton Fetter an internal medicine doctor. He
sent me to a clinic to
check and see if I had ulcerative colitis. They verified Dr. Fetter's
diagnosis. The exam
was a painful experience.
To treat the ulcerative colitis, Dr. Fetter recomended a Sulfidine.
After, bleeding 7 times
each day with bloody diahrea, I took a Sulfidine which I was allergic
to. I then called Dr.
Fetter to make another appoinment and explained how the Sulfidines
made me very sick.
He then gave me a prescription for Niacin. I went to the Pharmacy to
buy Niacin, but the
Pharmacist told me it was an over the counter medication. He pointed
where I could find
the Niacin. The only Niacin they had was 100 mg pills.
I went home that afternoon and ate spaghetti and drank milk with my
Niacin on a Friday. I
had the strangest of all reactions, I started to itch and flush at my
head. I didn't know it at
the time, but my blood vessels were increasing to 3 times their
normal size. This itching
and flushing reaction went down my chest and arms, down my torso to
my thighs, and
down my legs within 20 minutes. I felt that I was allergic to this
medicine. I had a date
with a beautiful girl that night at 7:00 so I ate at 5:00 so I could
go to the bathroom 2
times before my date with the bloody diahrea. I waited after
consuming all the spaghetti
and drinking 2 glasses of milk while the flushing was going on.
Afterwards I waited for the
urge to go to the bathroom, which is usually only 3 seconds away. I
needed 7 seconds to
get to the bathroom and I felt the urge. I waited until 7:00 because
I had no bowel
movement. The tingling and flushing left me within half an hour.
I called the girl on the phone and cancelled the date because this
was the first time in five
months that I didn't have a bowel movement within 2 hours of eating.
I sat with my
grandmother watching TV for 4 hours, just 7 seconds away from the
bathroom in case I
had to go. I felt no urge to go during this time. Then I went to bed
at 11:00. The bedroom
was just 2 seconds from the bathroom. All that night, I had no urge
to have a bowel
movement and I finally fell asleep.
The next morning, I got up at 7:00 and went to the restroom. For the
first time in 5
months, I had a stool 10 inches long covered with mucous. I was very
surprised about the
mucous. For the next few days, I ate regularly with no diahrea. The
second time I had a
bowel movement I had normal stools with no mucous. I was 18 years
old, now I am 67
years old. I have had 20 attacks of ulcerative colitis over 25 years.
When I was 43, I was taking 500mg of Niacin with one drink early in
the morning and I
would get a brief flushing of my skin. Niacin wasn't working anymore.
In Niacin, the
nicotinic acid reacts with the estrogens in your blood to dialate
your blood vessels. I don't
know why my estrogens do not react anymore to Niacin. Doctors used to
prescribe Niacin
to reduce cholestreol and hypertension in the body. I looked at a
vitamin book and it helps
your fingernails to grow and your hair to grow. At 67, I have a lot
of hair, my
grandfathers did not. I don't know if it helped. Niacin is
inexpensive, 100 pills at 100mg
for $1.00. I took Niacin when it became inconvenient after I had an
attack of bloody
Ulcerated Colitis. For the next fifty attacks in fourty years Niacin
is what worked every
time. I just had to take enough Niacin to dialate for twenty minutes.
A few years ago.I phoned Dr. Milton Fetter and found out he was still
alive. I asked him
how many people he treated with Niacin. Dr. Fetter told me that he
had treated 80 patients
with ulceraitve colitis and about 8 of these were allegic to
Sulfidines. To these he
recomended Niacin, I was one of those lucky ones. They never had any
other problems,
and never went back to him for ulceraitve colitis.
At 43, I was having a pain for the first time in my colon area. I
went to 2 doctors who said
they had a new drug on the market. They said that it was remarkable,
better than
Niacin,called Prednisone. It didn't work, the pain didn't go away.
One night at 2:00 in the
morning when I couldn't sleep because of the pain, it was very quiet,
I could hear my
heart beat. Every time my heart beat, the pain would increase a
litle. Sort of like a muscle
spasm. The next day, I called my doctor for a muscle relaxer. I took
1 pill the next night of
Ativan. The pain went away. I started off with a small pill of Ativan
24 years ago when I
was 43. I am up to two pills a night to give me a sound night's sleep
and to relax my
muscles. I have never had another attack of ulcerative colitis in the
last 24 years because I
have been taking a generic of Ativan, very inexpensive.
If you have Prednisone in your system Niacin won't work. I suggest
you try Niacin first.
Get all the Prednisone out of your system, it might take a month.
Remember, I bled for 4
and a half months 7 times a day, so don't worry too much about the
bleeding.
I have looked at ulceraive colitis on TV through video cameras. The
TV cameras that are
in the colon show that the ulcers are about the size of a pin head. I
feel that what the
doctors call ulcers are really swollen capilaries that cannot
circulate blood because the
muscles have clamped down on the vessels not alowing blood to pass
through your
system. When you take Niacin, your blood vessel dialate to three
times their normal size
and oxygen gets to your muscles and relieves the pain and then you
have no bleeding.
Then, the Ativan does not let the muscle spasm at night because it
relaxes it. Therefore,
you have to take it every night to get a good night's sleep. It is
addictive in the fact that
you will not go to sleep without Ativan. That is why Longs Drug store
tripled the price
and was caught and had to refund the money to the people. I have
discovered at 67 in a
pharmacy book that you can take up to 10 pills of Ativan each day,
but I wouldn't suggest
taking this much. Especially if you have a weak heart.
Prednisone has ruined the liver of a friend of mine who I met in
later years. She needed a
new liver or she would die because she had been taking Predisone for
40 years. Now the
benefits of Niacin are 20 fold and so is Ativan, getting a good
night's sleep. But
Prednisone, which the drug companies make a fortune off of, causes a
lot of damge to
your body. But the doctors have to prescribe it or they can be sued
for malpractice.
When you reach 50 years of age, the doctors want to check your colon
for cancer. It
seems that people who have ulcerative colitis have a higher chance of
getting cancer. The
doctors have put a camera every two years to check for cancer in my
colon. The new
cameras are non-painful, but sometimes they carry germs. I am 67
years old and my colon
is without scar tissue, and without any narrowing. The cameras are
now cleaned by the
kitchen help, called NAs(Nurse Assistants). The last time I had a
camera put inside of me,
I had a fever of 106.5 degrees 5 days later. I was shaking all over.
I thought I was cold. It
was a narrow escape for my life. So, I don't have the cameras put in
me anymore.
During my early experience with Niacin, I was young and dumb. I would
bleed in my
colon, and only when it became an inconveneince where I would have to
run to the
bathroom that I would take Niacin. It worked until I was 43 years of
age.
I am a general contractor and developer so when I stayed up until
2:00 or 3:00 in the
morning, 3 nights in a row I would have an attack of ulcerative
colitis. Now, if I don't
have 8 hours of sound sleep, I will have blood in my stools. Get the
Prednisone out of
your system and use Niacin. It is a very cheap way to treat your
ulcerative colitis and
might help you gain a lot of hair on your head.
One time, I went on a carrot juice fast for 30 days. I bought a
juicer, and drank three 8oz
glasses of carrot juice with ice cubes so you don't miss chewing with
your teeth. I lost 30
pounds and my ulcerative colitis went away. Put some celery juice
with the carrot juice so
you won't become anemic. The only problem with that cure is that most
people with
ulcerative colitis are thin and can't lose weight or afford the many
sizes of pants that you
have to buy.
The excellent thing with Niacin is that you don't have to go on a
bland diet, you can eat
anything while you take the Niacin, but you have to flush. If you
don't flush with the
Niacin, it won't work. I sometimes took 800mg of Niacin early in the
morning before I ate
anything to get mt body flushed. So don't take the time release
capsules. You have to
dialate your blood vessels to stop the muscle spasms in your colon or
elsewhere in your
body.
If the Niacin stops working after 43 years of age, then use the
Ativan. The pill is so small
you have to get a pill slicer to cut it in half. Start with half a
pill and if you don't get a
good nights sleep then start a whole pill. It has to be sound sleep
you don't wake up if the
dog barks or the baby cries. The majority of women that catch
ulcerative colitis are
women of newborn children who get less sound sleep than other women.
I think the
reason why we get ulcerative colitis is because we have week muscles
in the colon area or
elswewhere in our body that don't get enough oxygen because the blood
vessels are not
situated right or big enough to carry oxygen to the muscle to keep it
from contracting. We
are all different. We have different genes and this is the easiest
way I have lived with
ulcerative colitis.
When the pain occurs, the doctors said that they had a much better
drug than Niacin ,
Prednisone, to stop ulcerative colitis. I thought they were crazy. I
tried it, went on a bland
diet, took the massive doses at first and continued on the program
and the bleeding did not
stop with the first pill of Prednisone. After a week on Prednisone, I
got frustrated and
took Niacin. For the first time taking Niacin in 20 years, I bled
more after flushing my
system. So, I kept taking Niacin and it took me a week to stop the
bleeding and get off
that bland diet. I never used Prednisone again. I have had 2 CAT
scans recenty, no cancer,
my liver is fine and all my organs are fine at 67 years of age.
Living with ulcerative colitis
since I was 18 years of age. Dr. Milton Fetter said 7 other people
were successful on
Niacin. So if you are young, try Niacin. No drug company is going to
spend 20 million
dollars to prove that Niacin is the best treatment for ulcerative
colitis because you can buy
a pill for a penny and it will do the job. So why would they want to
prove that Niacin
would stop your ulcerative colitis?
I've read books on ulcerative colitis of people who had their colons
taken out and the
result was massive congestion of the vascular system in the colon.
And what does Niacin
do? It opens up the vascuar system, but what doctor would give you
Niacin when you
have massive bleeding in your colon area?
Good Luck. Signing off, Arthur Billings

I have had this aweful disease for 22 years now and three resections,
most recent, 2 weeks ago. What really gets me is having to work with
this and trying to explain to my employer what Crohn's is and how it
affects me. I have been on the the sites and cannot seem to find much
info on people living with the disease and the side affects that
affect them. I need to supply work with what is happening to me so I
can have access to the washroom when I need it. I cannot seem to find
any info pertaining to the fact that I need to be near a bathroom. For
I need to go extremly quick and often ( anywhere from 5-20 times a
day), or the fact that I could have just walked out of the washroom
and not even two minutes later be right back in there. Its unfortunate
but when I go anywhere the first thing on mind is ok, where is the
nearest washroom. Or driving in the car and thinking, oh no I need a
washroom and (I mean barely making it). Or the hemmroids that just
hurt so bad. I am lucky that I have not missed to much work because of
this, and I am on NO medication. I was in remission for 10 years and
felt great. Oh also what about all the GAS......so uncomfortable. My
family is great and my Husband is so understanding, because I have
spent so much time in the Hospital, 4 kids and no problem with the
Crohn's while pregnant. I will refuse to take prednisone, I feel it
does nothing for me. The only drug I have ever been on is pentasa.
Again felt it did nothing. So now that I have carried on does any one
know where to find any of the info I need?
