Has your brother tried Iodine yet? I ask because I too suffered from IBS and

Ulcerative Colitis for many years. I refused the medications and opted to try

diet changes and multiple supplements with little success. I had finally come to

a point where I was in so much pain and so run down and my quality of life was

being affected that I was going to try the medications. Fortunately, I was

introduced to Iodine and Dr. brownsteins video and it just made perfect sense.

I decided to try Iodine before starting the medications and I am so grateful I

did. Within two months of starting the Iodine I had a horrible flair of colitis

symptoms (worse than ever)and then it all went away within a week. The bleeding

stopped, all pain disappeared and my intestines are functioning normally for the

first time ever in my life. I have been on iodine 8 months now and I am still

symptom free and have never felt so good. I don't know if it will help your

brother also but sure wouldn't hurt to try.

Another plug for iodine for gut troubles...

I also suffered terribly with IBS and 'unexplained' inflamed lesions in the

colon for years. All the docs just wanted to toss pills at me or suggest the

particular weird pet diet one of them handed to EVERY patient (before testing or

even interviewing) no matter what their ailments. None of that did any good.

As usual, the docs saw 'a gut in trouble' and not a whole patient with

something bigger happening and manifesting mainly at the time as intolerable

colotis!

I wish I had known about iodine years ago. I admit I just started

suppelementing with iodine, but it seems to be (at least one of) the missing

piece(s) for me... my gut is happier than it has been in decades. Before the

iodine I did determine (through self-experimentation) that I do not tolerate

dairy and gluten might also be an issue, and thus I modified my diet and

experienced a precariously calmed gut, still easily tipped out of balance and

plunged into flares ---it took 2.5 yrs of diligent work to get there from the

point of being bed/toilet ridden and starving half to death. BTW, L-glutamine

really helps soothe my gut when it gets that raw feeling. Where my gut is

concerned, no positive changes were as abrupt and obvious as those with the

iodine, but do realize some healing work had been done prior and might have made

the positive iodine gut results come faster. I still can't eat willy nilly, but

I can have a life and plan things without wondering if my gut will make me

miserable or if I will have to cancel those plans. I am still waiting for the

fatigue problem to go away (hypothyroid wiih adrenal insufficiency sucks) and

the intermitent waves of detox (which happily have NOT been gut related) to

lessen, but the gut is happy now and that makes me happy!

I hope your brother can find something that works for him, and maybe iodine will

be part of it. Do take the companion nutrients, as detox is no joke.
