This is getting off-topic but check out Dr. Wakefield and Crohns. He claims Crohn's patients have live measles virus in the gut. You could try Vitamin A....... From: Princess Groovy <athenaeli@...>iodine Sent: Wednesday, 21 July, 2010 21:02:11Subject: RE: Iodine and Krohns disease

Hello,

Just a short note. I had been very, very ill from Crohn's Colitis...some combination of Chrohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. In fact these past five years I had about 3-4 near death experiences and one of my hospital visits lasting a month with several blood transfusions, Liquid nutrtion line in my arm, etc. Long story, after my immune system was knocked out by steroids, antibiotics, painkillers, etc, I continued being very ill with various new infections and developments.

The doctors gave up on me and continually told me I wouldn't live long without a complete removal of my colon, being on steroids, etc. Basically, they had written me off and termed me non-compliant since I refused surgery and more medications that were causing me a host of other serious problems.

I went off everything and decided to listen to my inner wisdom and research. What turned my life around without surgery or pharmaceuticals was alternative modalities.

Coconut Oil ( a great brand and lots of it in a day, I can talk to you about that) help stop my profuse hemmoraging and urgent bathroom trips many times a day. BTW, coconut oil is a known anti-fungal and anti-biotic. Also, my body was so toxic from all the chemicals (i.e. antifungals, antibiotics, steroids, painkillers) that it was "clogged up" in many ways and needed to be cleaned out.

Believe me, there is hope beyond hope with diet and some alternative approaches, but patient compliance and consistency is everything.

I am a walking miracle and have come back from death's doorstop and so can anybody with this ailment.

Colonics are very, very beneficial, as well.

If you have questions, you can email me directly.

It would help to find out what specific antibiotics she was on, and what the listed side effects are. Keep giving her probiotics heavily, as it will still help her even if the antibiotics are killing it off. You will eventually be ahead in the count. She might have candida problems, and if you can get Nystatin, it would help immediately, then follow up with good natural candida attack for a longer period of time.

Hi there,I haven't posted for awhile but have a problem I'd love some feedback on. My daughter, who's in her early thirties, recently broke her arm badly and was put on heavy antibiotics. That didn't work so they put her on IV antibiotics. She's had two surgeries so far. Before this surgery she had stomach cramps pretty badly very often but after the antibiotics/ surgeries they became unbearable. Her stomach is bloated and she can hardly eat. The doctor is testing her for Crohn's disease. All her life she's had a low basal temperature. She's never had her thyroid tested but will soon. Since Crohn's disease is an auto immune disease my gut feeling is she will also test positive for thyroid antibodies (I have Hashimotos and also take iodine). I think going on iodine would be beneficial for her along with enzymes. Taking probiotics doesn't help that much since the antibiotics will kill it. Can she take anything else for the bloat, such as Nystatin?

Anyone got some good suggestions here? She's pretty scared right now and so am I

Maybe, I am wrong then. I assumed you didn't need a prescription since I didn't need one for neurofeedback. I didn't check it out except for the price. Neurofeedback was expensive enough for me.

I had a course of Floxin once that damn near killed me. I cramped & bled & wept on the toilet every day for YEARS, in spite of probiotics, enzymes, chlorella, & everything else I could think of to mend it. (I wasn't aware of the iodine protocol, & would now assume that that is an important factor.) Labor is painful, but it is over in a day. Having your bowels trashed by strong antibiotics can be agonizing for a lot longer. Antibiotics can do terrible things to your bowels, & set you up for all sorts of auto-immune problems, since 80% of your immune system is in your bowel.My personal belief (with which many disagree) is that diseases like Crohn's are often caused by antibiotics & other assaults on the bowel. (Although her symptoms could easily be explained just by the antibiotics destroying every healthy organism in her gut! The gut is supposed to be full of living organisms!) I hate to see them

putting her through any more misery, when the thing she needs the most is to get off the antibiotics. How much longer do you think she needs to be on them?I get so frustrated, because there are better options. HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is good for infections that don't respond well to antibiotics -- especially bone infections. But they won't give it to a person till they are half dead from the antibiotics. Their rationale is that it is expensive, so they only use it for the most dire cases. But the chambers are often sitting empty somewhere while a person like your daughter is busy BECOMING a dire case. (And by the way, HBOT Is good for the gut, too.)If you can get her off the antibiotics, as well as iodine, I would have her on MASSIVE doses of probiotics, digestive enzymes, & chlorella. A lot of people think that a couple of probiotic capsules will do the job, but one alternative writer

wrote that for things like dysentery, you should go through a whole bottle of probiotics every day or two. I would also get different kinds, & rotate them... As for anti-fungals like Nystatin, she may need them later, since the yeast always seems to rebound before any of the healthy organisms. (I would start the probiotics a bit BEFORE they end the antibiotics, & try to keep her on herbal anti-Candida remedies to head off the Candida.) But Nystatin is no cure for cell death, & all the stuff she needs in her gut is dead.Man, it is making my gut hurt just thinking about it. Good luck to her.AnneOn Jul 20, 2010, at 9:19 PM, infotech003 wrote: Hi there, I haven't posted for awhile but have a problem I'd love some feedback on. My daughter,

That sounds rather like the two diets I have come across for Crohn's Disease:

Elaine Gottschall's Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), and Kent Rieske's

Biblelife Diet.

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

http://www.biblelife.org/bowel.htm

I was on a SCD Group at one time. Some people found it controlled all

their symptoms well, but other people had to follow an even more restrictive

diet.
