chrones disease

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am in midterms and projects for college so I am not always

very prompt (or up to date hehe) with group happenings…welcome new moderators!

This is one fantastic group…I have learned so much!

 

I didn’t know about herbs 7 years ago and when I was diagnosed

with this, the doctor put me on a full vitamin program. From Prescription for

Nutritional Healing by James F. Balch MD and Phyllis A Balch CNC (masters in

nutrition) pg 211, 212 This is a very practical book to have, I have found. I

tell you I do not miss having my hair drop out anymore via handfuls.

 

I followed this program in great detail for 11 months and found

I was doing very well by then. Now, I avoid anything OTC etc that says problem

with thyroid disease and as long as I do so, I do not have to have all the

things on this program daily– and still can feel good. I am now able to add in

some things that traditionally with a thyroid problem, I could not. If I am in

a very stressed point environmentally, of course, I get a bit more careful and

conscientious hehe. Otherwise, it really has changed my life around…and just

made things easier for me. Also the other thing I found recently I have needed

is extra all-around digestive enzymes from the time where I couldn’t absorb all

my wonderful veggies etc.

 

This is what my dr put me on…(from the book)

Very important: multivitamin and mineral complex (as directed on

the label), Vitamin B 50mg with extra riboflavin B2, thiamine B1, and B6

pyridoxine (have 3 x daily with meals)

 

Helpful: Brewers Yeast 1-3T daily(has lots of Bs in it),

Essential fatty acids (as directed on label)-needed for correct glandular

function, lecithin (as directed on the label) –aids in digestion of fats and

protects lining of all cells and organs, Vitamin C3000-5000mg daily –especially

important in this stressful condition, Vitamin E 400IU (do not exceed this) –

avoid excessive amounts of Vitamin E; this may stimulate the thyroid gland,

however a small amount is needed.

 

Foods: eat plenty of the following, broccali, Brussels sprouts,

cabbage, cauliflower, kale mustard greens, peaches, pears, spinach, turnips to

name a few. AVOID dairy products for at least 3 months. Also avoid stimulants,

coffee, caffeine based tea, nicotine and soft drinks.

 

Take care of yourself,

Linda Lane

Crohn's Disease

 

Dear List,

 

I was diagnoised with Crohns disease about a year ago, I was on

drug

therapy up untill this past summer the medication became to

expensive

and I studied alot about the side effects the medicine has and

it has

scared me a great deal, I do not want to go back on them. I have

a

fair amount of knowledge now about what this disease is , what I

am

trying to come to an understanding of is an effective treatment

and

diet. In my studies I have found conflicting reports about what

is

good and what is not, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I

 

definately wish to change my diet and realize how important it

is I

just dont know how or what the best resources would be to

follow.

Cost is a factor for me since we have three boys and trying to

raise

them on 1,000 a month, my ability to work has been greatly

reduced

over the past several months and it doesnt seem to be geting

much

better. Any advice would be truly appreciated and helpful.
