Friends, It is a coincidence that I have a son also named Daniel also diagnosed with ulcerative colitis who is turning thirteen in a couple of months. I also know how distressing it is as a parent to witness these severe debilitating attacks without knowing how to help. He is in remission at the moment, and providing he takes the prescribed herbal mixture when he should, along with 'slippery elm' powder, which is mixed with some warm water to get it soluble enough to drink before meals he seems to keep out of the danger zone. By the way, the families name for 'slippery elm' is GLUG! If you take it you will know why!! BUT IT WORKS!!! I'm pasting some information regarding latest research that indicates that persons suffering from Crohn's disease have a newly discovered bacteria which may cause the problem.
Perhaps it's drawing a rather long bow, but we are now adding regular CS doses to his treatment regimen. Our thinking is that that it will further positively assist him with this health problem and that if closely monitered certainly cannot do any harm. Our Specialist medical adviser reaches for cortizone tablets and suppositories and pushes for radical surgery whenever we front Daniel during these debilitating attacks. But praise God! Daniel hasn't had to see him for over 12 months. The Doctor is honest enough to admit however, that natural treatments that do not have the the horrendous side effects that steroids have may have a place in treating this problem. He also admitted, that current medical wisdom has not proven that the condition is caused by certain foods, food allergies setting up inflammatory reactions, or bacteria!? As a family we have used CS for a variety of health problems for about the last 6 months with generally excellent results. Problems such as herpes simplex-(cold sores), other skin infections and water sterilisation etc. etc. etc. We have had some rather nasty flu viruses here in Brisbane Australia during this winter. The CS doesn't stop the infection moving through the family, but definitely shortens the duration of the problem...and more importantly has prevented the opportunist bacterial side-effects such as sore throats, chest infections etc. etc.etc I am using a SOTA reverse polarity CS maker with 240v mains power reducing to 9v-12 v with a transformer. I started using the manufactures recommendations using demineralised water below boiling point for 20 minutes to make as claimed a CS 5ppm concentration. Now that I have a TDS tester-(TdScan30), I have found that the concentration is around 40ppm! I bought the tester from a distributor in new Zealand, but the product is actually made inSingapore - their web page; http://www.eutechinst.com/Testers Overview.in Singapore It gives me great satisfaction & comfort that I am able to reclaim the responsibility for my own health and well being and help my loved ones. CS certainly has a lot going for it. Love & greetings, Rolo >>BUG LINKED TO CROHN'S DISEASE FOUND: Researchers at two institutions report they have found the elusive bacteria believed to play a major role in Crohn's Disease, a severe gastrointestinal disorder. For years, doctors have hypothesized that Crohn's Disease, which afflicts about 1 million Americans, is caused by an infectious agent, but no one had been able show the link between the disease and a microbe. In a presentation before the American Society for Microbiology, Kristina Hulten at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine described finding Myobacterium avium ss paratuberculosis - referred to as M. para - in three out of four patients with Crohn's Disease. Scientists at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, also found M. para in six of seven patients' tissue removed during surgeries. Microbiologist Deidre Schwartz says, "I would say that for at least some patients with Crohn's Disease the illness is most likely caused by infection with M. para." ----- Original Message ----- From: Vilik Rapheles <vi...@peak.org> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: 19 August 1999 2:37 PM Subject: CS>Ulcerative Colitis > Dear Brilliant, Wise and Caring Friends, > > I am writing to you about a young man in his teens, Daniel, who suffers > from severe > and debilitating ulcerative colitis.
