Crohn's, colitis, intestinal bleeding, anal fistulas problems. 
You are here because you are suffering from one of the most painful and potentially devastating conditions that has reached epidemic proportions. 

I encourage you to read every line of this page and to take the steps you need to take to gain control of these disorders with a view to conquering them. I will work with you throughout this page.
If you don't readily find what you're looking for, just drop me a note.

Let's begin.

• Abdominal pain, often in the lower right area.

• Rectal bleeding, 

• Weight loss, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. 
  Children with Crohn's disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth.

• Chronic Pain

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Depletion of immune system leaving victim vulnerable to many other diseases including life-threatening diseases. 

Possible Directional Flow: 
Hospitalization, ulcerative colitis, mouth ulcers, Cancer, Fistulas, wheel chair bound, Blindness, Intestinal Bleeding, can accentuate other illnesses and diseases and conditions, fatigue often confused with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,

Normal Prognosis: Permanent. (But... thoroughly treatable!)

Conventional Correctives: Surgery for intestine removal, Medication (Ramacade / Remacade )

Crohn's disease causes inflammation in the small intestine. Crohn's disease usually occurs in the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum, but it can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. The inflammation extends deep into the lining of the affected organ. The inflammation can cause pain and can make the intestines empty frequently, resulting in diarrhea.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the general name for diseases that cause inflammation in the intestines. Crohn's disease can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to other intestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and to another type of IBD called ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top layer of the lining of the large intestine.

Crohn's disease affects men and women equally and seems to run in some families. About 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease have a blood relative with some form of IBD, most often a brother or sister and sometimes a parent or child.

Crohn's disease may also be called ileitis or enteritis.

What causes Crohn's disease? Believed to be genetic. However, genetics play only a role.

Theories about what causes Crohn's disease abound, but none has been proven. The most popular theory is that the body's immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium by causing ongoing inflammation in the intestine.

People with Crohn's disease tend to have abnormalities of the immune system, but doctors do not know whether these abnormalities are a cause or result of the disease. Crohn's disease is not caused by emotional distress.

What are the symptoms?

The most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. Children with Crohn's disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth.

Popular treatments.

Treatment may include drugs, nutrition supplements, surgery, or a combination of these options. At this time, treatment can help control the disease, but there is no cure.

Major Problem associated with the number One prescribed cure or treatment of Crohn's Disease or Anal Fistula. Important Read.

What I have discovered in all the emails and phone calls I have received: Crohn's is an epidemic. While I know that Crohn's is mainly genetic, from what we have been able to accomplish, do not believe that Crohn's is purely genetic. 

Secondly, from listening to my clients, 95% of their game plan for controlling this condition is doomed to failure because their nutritional regime is too weak, blood circulation is too weak, and prescription drugs are too strong and don't really provide more benefits than the problems they create.

In my opinion, Remicade is a horrifying drug... When I first researched this drug, I was horrified by the fact that there were as many law firms representing victims of the drug as there were people selling the drug. That is not a good sign.

Read Report carefully below:

Remicade (Infliximab) is an immune-suppressing product manufactured by Centocor, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the use for Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Remicade is a worldwide market share leader among tumor necrosis factor alpha therapies and is the only biologic drug indicated for the treatment of both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohns' disease. Specifically, Remicade , in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for use in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate alone. It is also approved in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease which have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy and for the treatment of patients with fistulizing Crohn's disease. Since its introduction on August 24, 1998, Remicade has been prescribed to over 230,000 individuals.

Although Remicade has been touted as a miracle product, it is a potent product that has been associated with such serious and debilitating side effects as tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, listeria sepsis, invasive fungal infections, lymphoma, pneumocystosis, seizures, multiple sclerosis, lupus, serious infections, and heart failure, and death. Patients have neither been warned adequately of these risks nor of their severity.

Since its approval in August of 1998, the warnings regarding using Remicade have changed in response to these serious side effects. In August 15, 2001, a "Black Box Warning" was added to Remicade 's label warning that tuberculosis, invasive fungal infections, and other opportunistic infections, have been observed in patients receiving Remicade and that some of these infections have been fatal. Additionally, the following warning was added to the package insert: Cases of histoplasmosis, listeriosis, pneumocystosis and tuberculosis, have been observed in patients receiving Remicade . For patients who have resided in regions where histoplasmosis is endemic, the benefits and risks of Remicade treatment should be carefully considered before initiation of Remicade therapy."

On October 5, 2001, Centocor sent health care professionals a letter warning them tuberculosis, and other serious opportunistic infections including histoplasmosis, listeriosis, and pneumocystosis, have been reported in both the clinical research and post-marketing surveillance settings. Some of these infections have been fatal. The letter refers the healthcare professional to the August 15, 2001 revisions to the labeling for Remicade including the Black Box Warning. According to the manufacturer, at least 84 cases of tuberculosis had been reported in patients using Remicade .

Less than a week later, on October 18, 2001, a second drug warning was sent to Healthcare Professionals warning them not to initiate Remicade therapy in patients with congestive heart failure, to discontinue Remicade in patients whose congestive heart failure is worsening and to consider discontinuing Remicade in patients with stable congestive heart failure. Centocor provides in this letter that "Upon review of preliminary results of its ongoing phase 2 trial in 150 patients with moderate to severe (NYHA class III-IV) congestive heart failure (CHF), higher incidences of mortality and hospitalization for worsening heart failure were seen in patients treated with Remicade , especially those treated with the higher dose of 10 mg/kg. Seven of 101 patients treated with Remicade died compared to no deaths among the 49 patients on placebo."

On January 2002, the FDA, based upon adverse drug reactions reports, issued a warning about serious nervous system problems involving demyelinization, MS and other conditions, associated with the use of Remicade .

Centocor, currently warns that there are reports of serious infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and sepsis and that some of these infections have been fatal.

Now... Would I take this drug? NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!

a) The side effects of Ramicade PLUS the number of web sites devoted to legal action against doctors who prescribe Ramicade seem to support that the side effects of this drug may be worse than the illness.
b) Medical, Prescription Alternatives to Ramicade may be just as bad.

Now... this is my best recommendation based on what has shown to work best.

What follows is an integrated approach to successfully fighting intestinal disorders. This approach is not rocket science. Your health at whatever level it is at is a result of how you've integrated all aspects of your lifestyle to date. This is just a more effective, more intelligent approach. And, it works!

a) Get an ultra sound done on your complete gastro-intestinal system. This is a must first step. Simple case in point but not the only consideration: you really need to know if the colon has dropped and has become impacted. This can be extremely serious!!!!!

So, get the ultra sound done. 

b) Now, in all likelihood, you have never been told to do a thorough colon cleanse. Bottom line is: all major illness usually begins in your colon. In fact, you will find that the condition of your skin, your hair, most respiratory problems begin by an over-impacted colon. 

If your colon is impacted and not distended, use a colon cleanse product. By and large, we all carry a certain amount of fecal material in our colons. When impacted, some of this matter leeches back into our blood system where this toxic material gets into our brain and our eyes our skin, even our hair along with other organs. 

An impacted colon causes your liver to malfunction and puts undue strain on your kidneys. These, in turn, cause every cell in your body to store toxins in the hope that someday your system will come back into balance and allow these toxins to by purged from these cells. So, not only are you doing your colon good, you are helping it even more by purging your entire system from sending it more and more toxic waste to store. 

Fecal matter must flow smoothly and quickly through your system not just for your colon's sake, but, as you can see, for your over all health.

You will see an instant weight loss and a pulling in of your tummy and your skin will show a more youthful glow as your colon cleanse progresses. Believe me, you have no idea!

What I have found is that common laxatives are not the preferred remedy for impacted colons. While they 'work', they also can do more harm. 

My recommendation: the 7-Day Colon Cleanse program. It is affordable. And, it works. 

Note: One of the signs of an impacted colon (but it can be signs of other conditions as well) is a large 'gut' below your belt. Most of the time we pass it off as fat. But... You really should have it checked. If it's an impacted colon, you could be doing yourself some very serious harm each and every minute of the day and night. Have it checked. 

c) Create a regime of intestinal, colon rejuvenation, and reduction of inflammation in the intestinal track. Use something that not only does the job but which is truly gentle to your system. For this purpose, I strongly recommend Gastric Gold. 

The list of the benefits of Gastric Gold and it's prime Aloe Vera formulaic base are beyond the small scope of this report. What gets my attention is the intestinal wall repair and assistance in promoting nutritional absorption. But, it's important that you read it yourself. Please, do click the link and read carefully how it will help you or someone you love. 

Things I would definitely stay away from are the prescription drugs and the over-the-counter 'laxatives'. Most are not safe and gentle as advertised.

d) Diet. Everybody is different. And, everybody's level of advancement of these disorders is different. And, many people have multiple disorders such as diabetes or heart problems, etc. To make a blanket statement that would effect everybody is likely to be more damaging than productive.

Because of that, I suggest that you get a complete battery of blood tests, the ultra sound mentioned above, or an MRI, and have a serious sit down with your physician to determine the severity of your intestinal disorder and if it is being complicated by any other disease or medical condition. It very often is. 

What I have learned is that pills by their very nature for other ailments often aggravate the soft, inflamed tissues of the intestinal walls of Crohn's patients causing serious discomfort and more inflammation.

What next?

Start with high-fiber, low-fat diet. Keeping your intestines and colon healthy is critical.

Lots of natural fiber cleanses the body, removes toxins, and helps dilute, bind, and deactivate many carcinogens. 

In addition to fiber and fiber supplements (below) make sure your diet consists of these high fiber foods: whole grain cereals and flour, brown rice, all kinds of fresh brans, most fresh fruits, dried prunes, nuts, flaxseeds, beans, lentils, peas, and fresh raw vegetables - organic as much as possible. (Leave skin on apples and potatoes. ) Coat skinless chicken in corn bran and oats before baking. And, add extra bran to cereals and breads. Eat low carb, high vegetable, high protein diet. Keep fats and oils out of your diet. And, stay away from high-fat milk and cheeses as these only worsen diarrhea. 

Avoid all caffinated products (most soda pop), soft drinks and spicy foods. These only aggravate the intestinal walls while depleting your system of vital nutrients.... most of the supplements you're taking. 

e) Powerful nutritional support. Okay. our system is clean and staying clean. You now have a diet plan that you have started and will continue to refine to your specific circumstances. Not all people have exactly the same situation. So, you have to be ready to monitor what works for you and what doesn't. 

Most dieticians are patched into the pharmaceutical industry to some measure or other. Most of their stuff is mildly productive or just plain counter productive. Been there. You have to grab and maintain control of what works for you based on your own experiences. 

My experiences with most of you online over the last few years is that the best nutritional supplements must be gentle, powerful and well balanced, fast and as complete as possible absorbing, and pay particular attention to the brain and the eyes. 

I have been embroiled in the constant debate over what vitamins are best and why or why not. And, the battles don't seem to have a clear definition other than to suggest that the over-the-counter stuff at your department store or pharmacy are borderline useless. 

With intestinal problems of any kind, nutritional deprivation to the brain and the eyes is a constant and can be extremely serious in advanced cases. So, because of the demands not being met by diet and most over-the-counter stuff, it is imperative that you be far more attentive to what you add to your diet as vitamins or nutritional supplements. 

So, what I have found works best is a liquid multi-vitamin with an excellent high potency track record and which targets, besides the whole body, the brain and the eyes. Have a quick look here. Very affordable. In the end, it's your health and your choice. 

f) Exercise. What I mean here is just a one-half hour to forty-five minute brisk walk each and every day. Reason? By walking briskly you are forcing your body to move fresh nutrients through your body and into each and every cell. This in turn helps to flush out toxins from those cells.

Considering that your intestinal walls are cells, too, you want to keep your blood circulation maximized and thus help what you put into your gastric system to be better used because of a healthier gastric / intestinal system. 

If you haven't worked out in a while, get a few friends together and get tested for your fitness level. Then, go for it. You'll feel a ton better. 

I realize that everybody is different. What you have read is what we experience almost daily from memos from people just like you. And, what you have read is a synoptic  response that seems to work best for them. Even if they don't do the colon cleanse, they all start with Gastric Gold. It's quick, it's effective, and it's very comfortable on the colon. 

I hope this page has given you the starting blocks you need for a healthier, more comfortable life. If you didn't readily find what you're looking for, just drop me a note.
