It is a myth until shown otherwise. The studies do not show any meaningful increase in levels. It is unwise, when people have serious health conditions, to make false claims such as you have done....
You're welcome. Perhaps you'll stop spreading the myth that Epsom salt baths can replace oral supplements....
Are you low in magnesium? It might worsen symptoms, but is unlikely to cause a flare... ( There is no credible evidence that epsom salt baths raise levels of magnesium in the body:...
Hey snappy (and dorri) Fissures really are bad. It is also a vicious cycle of acidic stool burning and irritating, and then wiping the area. In desperation I switched to a bidet attachment, and was...
emptiness is something beyond emptiness is hell stay in the light of warmth and love sun and earth are there to nurture life is all this sometimes horrid sometimes dazzling often stuck in between...
I think it's the same as stellara, il-23 inhibitor. Worth a try....
IBDgal you have utterly misrepresented me! Where did I say anything about "insisting with 100 % certainty that carageenan does not cause ulcerative colitis" ? Please don't compare my carefully...
You're lucky! Antibiotics work for around twenty percent. The rest are not lucky. They mostly have to try meds. Nothing works for me, so I have no foot in any camp. But I dislike seeing misleading...
So many words, so little said! Fish oil, curcumin and zinc ..... wow, news flash. Yes, some things get tested quite thoroughly. However, most do not. And even fish oil has a very dubious reputation,...
They will make any combo you like, and in any strength. But they do not prescribe treatments....
People claim lots of things...
They're a good company, pure strains and a few combos....
Lol, The big tobacco defence from IAC! Desperation......
lol. It isn't about 'liking' something. It's about accuracy and truth. Show us your great studies rather than spouting endless nonsense coffeemate. Be aware of the following:...
Your misunderstanding of both chemistry and science, makes it difficult to help you understand how deeply flawed both your sources, and your leaps in logic really are. A naturopathic book from 1969...
Ahh, the "encyclopedia of natural medicine" from 1969 (revised since then) https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/naturopathy-textbook/ Take care with jumping to conclusions....
Such nonsense. There will always be illnesses to treat, and finding a cure earns billions of dollars....
"Dr" Mercola ... lol....
Any bacteria that consumes lactose (converts lactose into lactic acid) can theoretically work. They usually use a balanced set of bacteria that can survive heat, and give the right sourness. Each set...
Vitamin D is actually a prohormone. It is related to steroid hormones. If you ingest high levels of D3, resulting in high circulation of the steroid hormone, the kidney output of that hormone...
Lol Stereo.... quite a rude and angry response. Yes I read your whole post.... curcumin , boswelia, LDN.... allegedly your own new inventions that no one has ever talked about. Quite the luminary....
SIR is standard incidence ratio SIR of 1 means that there is a normal, or similar response in the general population. They usually quote a 95% confidence level. An SIR of 1.43 means that there the...
Lol Stereo, I remember you promoting all sorts of stuff that eventually failed for you. Maybe you wouldn't have taken 10 years had you followed your doctors suggestions or used something better than...
Quincy, aluminium hydroxide isn't aluminium (it isn't bioavailable ) but there are other formulations of chewable gaviscon . contains Sodium alginate 250mg, Sodium bicarbonate 133.5mg, Calcium...
Raft-forming alginate is just good old gaviscon! Lifeextension is a horrible product ( and a dodgy magazine) with xylitol, mannitol and of course cornstarch and maltodextrin......
I've never enjoyed the term "positive thinking". Too many people have used that term, in an almost cult like way, to pretend that all you need is to act like everything is great and you'll get rich,...
(Not sure why link doesn't work for you) Try googling : Anticoagulant activities of curcumin and its derivatives Research is fairly new and as iPoop said, studies are limited. As always, some may...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22531131 Seems like a good anticoagulant (blood thinner). That's great if you aren't bleeding. Not ideal if you are......
Oh look, it's coffeemate! Thanks for your contribution as always! And I'm sure IAC needs you butting in, lol Let the grownups chat a little....
IAC, it is the repeated quoting from your life extension magazine that is the issue, compounded by citing an article to do with black cumin, when the thread is about adjuvant use of curcumin. I think...
The less you urinate, the easier it is for stone-causing minerals to settle and bond in the kidneys and urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water is one of the best measures you can take to avoid...
Yes! Feel for you... Dehydration is the biggest factor for us.... Vomiting from pain....yes....
IAC - You say you've only tried mesalamines, and that you get out of flares by taking antibiotics. So, not sure what: "I cannot tolerate meds ..." is all about! Quoting form a vitamin sales magazine...
You can discuss anything you like on a forum. Not everyone is "brainwashed by the media" lol. Try not talking down to people, thinking no-one understands but you, you might find some interesting...
Ok... the pens... leave them out of the fridge to warm a little. Find some fat on your thigh. Use a swab to clean. No need to squeeze the skin much, just gently. Then press the pen against the skin...
Are you getting the syringes. or the pre-filled injectors? They're both easy to use. The syringes are gentler I think. The needle is so fine it just slides into the skin. good luck...
Some people do well with Ensure. It is very easily digested and gives quick nutrition to people who are struggling to eat. Others don't like it at all! When you are desperate to get calories,...
It really isn't that at all.... People who sensibly ask about things to do with vaccines, aren't labelled antivaxxers. People who repeatedly claim that vaccines are "bad", and that they "cause...
That's fine HJ. Yeah there's a lot of disgusting sounding chemical additives. And most of them seem to end up in highly processed foods. So it seems a good idea to avoid those where possible....
Everything is made of chemicals HJQuinn. Food is chemicals. Brominated vegetable oil is NOT bromine. People have emotional responses things... Hysterical remarks don't help people cope with serious...
There really is a lot of “chemophobia” going on.... Food additives may be undesirable, but not for any of the reasons being postulated here. Bromine in food is not “corrosive”, nor do “antibodies...
Lol...
(Encyclopaedia of natural medicine from 1969 ... good one lol) That's quite thorough Sara!...
Look the guy up if you like NSSG.... there's quite a history there!...
Hi, Really sorry you are not getting treated effectively. 82 lbs is too light! Is your Crohns being treated? And is it the obstructions or gastro paresis or both that is the major problem? I've been...
It's just more anti vaccine propaganda being spread by IAC. The debunked myth about autism being caused by vaccines again being pushed by IAC....
I hope your new team are better at taking care of Crohns patients. Some odd behaviour from your previous team... Good luck bucko...
Unfortunately cooking, blending, or pureeing does not reduce the fiber content of foods. Juicing does, as it strains the liquid from the pulp (most high speed juicers.) However cooking does lessen...
The most grounding thing of all is the body itself. It's our body that is connected so intimately with the earth we live on. The mind likes to wander and so it should. Because the body is so...
It's a disturbing scenario .... to add to the other advice, he should be on TPN if he is unable to eat....
