I have recently joined the PSC support group. My name is , I

live on the West Coast of Canada. I am 36, a husband and a father

of 3. I was diagnosed with PSC about 11 months ago. It has been a

bit of a roller coaster ride since. My Gastroentronolgist did not

give me ANY info about PSC and in fact played it down, as he was

giving me and my wife info about my newly diagnosed Ulcerative

colitis. It wasn't until I did some digging, did I get the low down

on PSC. It was quite devastating to find out it about while reading

about it on the internet. I have spent the past 10 months reading

whatever I can get my hands on about the disease, always hoping to

come across an article about a miracle cure. I have not come across

that article yet.

I have a new Gastro specialist now, who had me in for an MRI to see

exactly what is going on inside of me. So far, I think that I am

asymptomatic. That being said, my shins have been extremely itchy

in the past and I would scratch to the point where they would

bleed. My new doctor has me on Urso.

Being an open minded person, I have been looking into alternative

medicines to work along with modern medicine. I have started seeing

a Naturopath. The fellow I am seeing is fairly optimistic about my

situation. He claims to have " cured " many different diseases,

including a case of PSC. He has written 3 books and is seen by many

different famous people. He works in North Vancouver, Canada. He

has people fly in from all over the world to see him. In two of his

books, he goes through his theories and also includes letters from

patients. His second book has the letter from the fellow who had

PSC.

I have been seeing this doctor for about 3 months. I have dropped

some weight and I am feeling very good. I haven't seen how my blood

work results have been effected yet, because I have only had one

completed since seeing the doctor. I am going to " ride this horse "

as long as I can. At the very least, I am feeling pretty good.

I have promised myself that if I am able to positively impact this

disease by following this program that I will do everything that I

can to spread the word!

The doctor's theory is that the body can heal itself, we just need

to know how to not put so much stress on it by constantly eating

improperly. I am only a few supplements and I have changed my

diet. When you start to analyse his theory, it makes pretty good

sense. The itching on my shin has subsided and it looks the best it

has in 2 years.

I will keep eveyone up to speed on my progress and findings. Has

anyone else tried and had good results with the naturopath community?
