My name is Tim. I was diagnosed with Crohns in my mid 20’s. I had terrible stomach aches, blood in my stool, a swollen ileum, etc. I carried this pain around for years before I walked myself into a hospital one day. I did not leave for a week.

They put me on various drugs including prednisone which I took into my early 30’s.

At one point (early 30’s) my gastroenterologist recommended surgery to remove part of my intestines. After the consultation with the surgeon I decided to hold off on the operation.

I was determined to find an alternative to drugs and surgery.

After two years of research and trials of various products and diets I found a program that worked. No pain, no symptoms, the scar tissue seemed to dissolve (I could not feel bulky food squeeze past that part of my ileum anymore) and no relapses.

Then I weaned myself off pharmaceutical drugs over a period of 45 days. Note: Once I was off the prednisone for 3 months my Glaucoma disappeared and I was able to stop taking eye drops twice a day. Yes, one in five people are steroid reactive and prednisone will cause an increase in their eye pressure.

I consider myself cured of Crohns. I have not seen a gastroenterologist for years.

I can drink black coffee, eat hot, spicy food, drink alcohol when I wish (beer, wine, margaritas, etc). I am in excellent physical health (49 yrs old, 6ft tall, 174 lbs). I have no stomach or intestinal pain, no diarrhea, etc.

Important: We each know our own bodies better than any doctor. That goes double for any illnesses we might have. We know the symptoms, the early warning signs, activities that might lead to a major attack, food we should avoid, etc. Each of the things I list below had an immediate beneficial effect on me (i.e. within a few days to a few weeks I noticed something good going on with my body).

Here is the regimen that I finally came up with after adding and subtracting things until what was left created a virtuous circle of good effects and good health that cured me of Crohns (Should I say cured me of Crohns symptoms? It may be illegal in America to say you cured yourself of a disease. The pharmaceutical cops – FDA – might not approve of that).

I make no money or any other benefit if you buy these products. You can use these exact products or other products JUST like them. But it is important to realize there is a wide range in the quality, purity and effectiveness of different products listed under the same product category. I tried various products of the same category until I found the ones that worked for me.

My choice of product was based on three things. First of all, research that could provide a plausible reason why this product could be of benefit. Secondly, a noticeable improvement in my health within a short time of starting to take that specific product. Thirdly, no side-effects like stomach irritation, bad breath, etc.

Here’s the regime.

1. Stop eating and drinking all dairy products. (Crohns has been linked with dairy cows) Note: You do not need to drink cows milk – it was made for cows. I’ve never broken a bone in my body and haven’t drank milk in over 15 years.

2. Take 1 - 2 teaspoons of “Pharmaceutical Grade” Fish Oil every day. Quality is key. Go to barleans.com They give out free samples (shipping cost only). The taste is excellent – no fish breath. They use only small fish. (Fish oil is a natural anti-inflammatory. Doctors treat Crohns with anti-inflammatory drugs). Note: Use pharmaceutical grade only – anything else is virtually worthless.

3. Take two probiotics capsules every day for 2-6 months then use only as needed (i.e. diarrhea). Go to newchapter.com and click on their Probiotics tab. Their probiotics are dairy free (important!) and require refrigeration (fresh!). Probiotics are organisms that thrive in healthy intestines but often die away due to excessive use of antibiotics or the food many in modern society consume. (Probiotics promote intestinal health, nutrient absorption, and elimination of toxins, stop diarrhea, etc.).

4. Drink 2 to 6 ounces of colloidal silver (CS) every day for 6 – 9 months or until all your symptoms have disappeared for 4 months (always drink it on an empty stomach and spread out over 2-3 doses per day – first thing in the morning, at night before bed and in the afternoon if you remember. After you drink it don’t eat or drink anything else for 10 minutes).

Note: Once you stop taking CS go through one more bottle of probiotics (this is just in case the CS, like other antibiotics, kills the good bacteria too. With me the benefits of the probiotics were maintained while I was drinking CS. Lets be on the safe side).

Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic with no side effects. Make your own colloidal silver. Go to silvergen.com and buy the small SG6 model or the big SG7 model. Use only steam distilled water you can buy at a grocery store. These silvergen products are the best of the best – they make ultra clear CS with micron sized ions. (Doctors treat Crohns with antibiotics. Silver is a natural antibiotic that also can effect scar tissue. Individual ions of silver in a solution of distilled water make a powerful antibiotic with no side-effects).

5. Walk vigorously for 30-45 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. Or do the warrior pose in yoga everyday. Or both. (Exercise stimulates peristalsis in your intestines – the natural movement of your intestines to aid digestion and assimilation).

All these things are critical. You create a healthy environment were the body can repair itself and enter into a healthy state. You enable your immune system to function properly. You kill any virus or bacteria that may cause Crohns. And you don’t re-infect yourself!

It is important to do all these things. Until I added all the items listed I was not 100% free of all symptoms and free to eat and drink anything I wanted (except dairy products).

Here is why this regime might work for you.

Why don’t doctors know about this treatment regime? Doctors get all their information filtered through the American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture drugs. If a doctor does something not approved by these organizations his malpractice insurance may not cover him.

Also, if your livelihood depends on you remaining ignorant of something it will be very easy for you to remain ignorant of that very thing.

Remember that vitamin C in the form of citrus fruits was being used by sea captains for over 100 years before the medical establishment in England officially sanctioned its use and effectiveness as a cure and preventive for scurvy. Why be 100 years behind the times…you may not live that long.

Also notice that doctors are starting to say certain supplements can be good for your health (i.e. folic acid, omega 3, probiotics and hundreds of others) yet, just 10-20 years ago these same doctors ridiculed their use because the AMA said so. At the same time people like me were telling you about these same supplements and alternatives.

Now it is up to you. A path to treat yourself naturally has been laid out. Get healthy and get on with your life. I wrote this because I suffered from Crohns and all the different type of stomach and intestinal pain it creates. If I can help just one person it was worth it.

A Sad Note:

Unfortunately, a small percentage of you will not follow this regime with any degree of persistence or seriousness. Why? Because a few of you get some UNCONSCIOUS benefit from suffering with Crohns.

I am serious. Have you lived long enough to know that people sabotage their own recoveries (alcohol, drugs, etc)? Maybe you feel special because you have Crohns. You are part of a club and will have to quit the club if you are cured. You won’t be able to talk about your illness and elicit ready sympathy from others. You won’t have a handy excuse if you feel like you’ve failed in other parts of your life. Please be open minded and try not to be defensive.

I am not saying Crohns is not a real disease. I KNOW it is a real disease. I used to curse God all night as I writhed in pain in bed. I’ve called God the worst names you can imagine. Said he was a torturer who created people so he could torture them like some sadistic child who burns ants.

Realize with Crohns there are benefits that your subconscious may not want to give up - bizarre benefits but benefits none the less.

The next time you’re suffering and can feel the sympathy in the faces of other people, be honest with yourself and see if you recognize within yourself a little satisfaction.

A few more things,

Study all the links above so you have a logical as well as an emotional reason to faithfully follow the regime I laid out for you.

Don’t expect your doctor to support you in these alternative efforts. Letting him or her know is up to you. I found it a waste of time. If he or she does support you then you have a special doctor (Note: I got rid of one gastroenterologist because he said what I was doing was worthless and didn’t want to here about the evidence I uncovered).

Regarding the dairy cow link your doctor may have a ready answer for you given to him by the AMA – “they looked into it but didn’t find anything significant”. Believe that at your own peril (remember the examples I listed above regarding scurvy and citrus fruits, Folic Acid, and willful ignorance, etc.).

Here is to your good health and the wonderful feeling of letting your body heal itself. It will open your eyes to many other things going on in your world.

Sincerely,

Tim

Regarding your question "What happens if you can't take any of that stuff due to allergies". I know suffering with Crohns can be overwhelming...so lets break this down.

I listed five things that I pursued that left the nightmare called Crohns behind me.

1. Stop eating/absorbing all things dairy.

No one is allergic to NOT eating and drinking dairy products. So for most people this is not an issue. I say most people because you may be allergic to SO many foods that your only source of nourishment is with dairy.

I don't know if this is your situation. I would hope that there are other alternatives for you as a source for protein, fat and carbohydrate nutrition amongst all the food choices on earth.

2. Take "Pharmaceutical Grade" fish oil on a regular basis.

If you are allergic to fish oil I would do two things. First confirm you are really allergic to fish oil by trying "Pharmaceutical Grade" fish oil. There are so many contaminants in regular fish oil that an allergic reaction may be caused by the contaminants - and not the fish oil itself.

Second, if you are allergic to "Pharmaceutical Grade" fish oil then I would search the internet for other natural anti-inflamatory foods and supplements. I would test these and make as many as I could part of my regular diet.

3. Take probiotics capsules.

There are so many good probiotic capsules on the market that I would try as many different ones as possible until I found one or two that I could tolerate. Then I would stick with those.

Otherwise, I would research the internet for other foods and supplements that promote the growth of good bacteria in my intestines. I hear pine nuts are one.

4. Take colloidal silver on a regular basis until all symptoms are gone for several months.

I don't know of anyone who is allergic to colloidal silver. But if you are then I would search the internet for other foods and supplements that are proven to be natural antibiotics. Remember, doctors treat Crohns disease with antibiotics.

4. Regular cardiovascular exercise to promote peristalsis in your intestines.

I have had people tell me that they are allergic to exercise...but I thought they were kidding. Who knows?

As for Crohns disease being labeled an official disability...that really scares me!

Remember my point about a few people getting some unconscious benefit from suffering with Crohns...so they undermine their own recovery?

Getting money to be sick can only add to the number of people who find some benefit (again, usually subconscious)from suffering with Crohns. This may make it more difficult for those people to pursue, and stick with, an alternative method to heal themselves.

Sincerely,

Tim

There are so many people out there who are beating IBD's every day...that is the truth. Those people realized they can't afford to wait for the medical world to find a cure as they will be 6 ft under by the time they might even come close. I can tell you that there will never be a cure as they are looking for a single disease causing agent there is not on single disease causing agent so it will be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The medical community should change their approach and focus their attention on the people who have beat their IBD's what have these people done? how did they do it? etc but the truth of the matter is that will never happen as there is no revenue in that avenue.........think about it?
