[Guest guest]

I agree with Sheldon about the vitamin E.

 

I would add homemade Kefir to heal faster by changing the intestinal bacteria

and virus there too.

 

Vitamin E is an almost sure cure for hemeroids (sp?) also, just apply topically.

Ulcerative Colitis - Vitamin E Testimonial

I received this wonderful testimonial from Sheldon Gesensway. It's about curing

(I think that's the right word) Ulcerative Colitis, using a powerful

antioxidant: Vitamin E. I wonder if a parallel with the DMSO-treatment can be

found...

Please be sure to read on.. This is a truly amazing story.. There are also more

attachments on the bottom of the page

 

Sheldon Gesensway story starts here

Dr. Bernard Halperin diagnosed ulcerative colitis about 1964. He treated my

condition for 5 years until his death. He was an excellent doctor. He tried

every drug then used but my condition persisted. Through the intervening years

the condition subsided but remained. No regular bowl movements. No stool form.

No control when nature called.

 

In June of 1980 after a stressful year, crime related, the bleeding increased

and I checked into Hialeah Hospital where I was given a blood transfusion and

corticoid enemas.

 

In the early months of 1981, I went to the Veterans Hospital because my

condition became intolerable. I was given further transfusions and advised to

have a subtotal colectomy. I also received hepatitis C. After leaving the

hospital, my previous condition continued. I took this opportunity to try

something I had given some thought to. This from an experience I had with

receding gums. By dissolving every day a capsule of Vitamin E next to my gums

for three months, it stopped the problem. Learning this from a reader's

suggestion in Prevention Magazine. I have since seen on TV a Keyes technique

shown on a program called Universe#121 CBS showing bacteria as the probable

cause of gum problems. The periodontist I saw said it could not be stopped. That

was over 40 years ago. My gums are fine. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and

anti-inflammatory.

 

The contents of three capsules of 400 IU mixed vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol and

dl-alph tocopheryl acetate 393.4 mg.) were emptied into a small amount of

distilled water (same volume as a corticoid enema). This mixture was sucked up

with a baby enema that I squeezed into my rectum. I retained the mixture.

Nothing happened. Over a period of four days I gradually increased the mixture

until I reached 10 capsules. At that level the change was DRAMATIC. There was a

normal looking bowel movement the next morning. The first I could remember. The

intermediate bleeding stopped. One bowel movement with form a day.

 

I started gorging all types of food that I denied myself for years. Salads, ice

cream and vegetables of all kinds. I gained weight gradually. This produced 2 or

3 bowel movements (controlled) per day with form. The quality of my life turned

180 degrees. However, if I did not take the enema once a day the bleeding would

start on the third day. These phenomena were reported to the doctors at the

hospital and duly noted in my records. This was continued for a very long time

and nothing was done to investigate the matter. At the hospital, a barium enema

showed a positive change in my colon. They believed it was a placebo effect.

Twenty years is a long placebo effect.

 

I tried increasing the amount of vitamin E until I reached 8000 IU (20

capsules). There were additional steps. It worked. I was taking one multi

vitamin & mineral tablet + 500 mg. vitamin C + one 400 IU vitamin E.After

reaching the increased dose, there was no need for further vitamin E enemas. I

have stopped the vitamin E by mouth many years ago. I never see blood in my

stool. Since that time, there has never been a problem with my colitis. Bowel

movements are regular in the morning with varying degrees of form. I found fruit

lessened form and limited fruit to one banana. I also use fresh vegetables.

Since I read freezing destroys fiber cell structure, I get a better stool form

result. There as been no problems with colitis for twenty years (since my first

vitamin E enema) I consider myself cured. My colonoscopy and biopsy results have

always been satisfactory.

 

Enclosed find three pertinent papers, Gastrointestinal Blues, the possible

influence of receding gums on disease and a diet by Elaine Gottschall (Specific

Carbohydrate Diet) that works well for colitis patients which is based on the

premise that certain foods leave a carbohydrate residue in the digestive tract

upon which bacteria feed and cause problems. I ate many of these forbidden foods

for many years without a problem I judge the worth of foods only by the form of

my morning bowel for many years. Which as been working well.

 

In 1960 I worked at the Worcester Foundation of Experimental Biology where I was

interviewed by Dr. Gregory Pinkus and put in charge of one of his assay labs.

 

The vitamin E enema is a simple non-dangerous procedure it will be very sad not

to investigate its effectiveness for a terrible disease. My present doctor is

Scott Halperin son of my original doctor (305) 821-5261.He has copies of the

only records I was able to obtain from the Veterans Hospital. Don't forget the

receding gums. It may take three months but it cured the condition. A dip of the

original recession remains. I started using the computer 7 months ago and found

these medical sites and sent this information to several research hospitals. My

doctor sent this information to a pharmaceutical research company. So far no

reply. I am beginning to believe its either too simple a cure or too

unprofitable.

Attachment 1: Enema Procedure

 

1.. Buy a small size enema bulb about 4 inches long. A bulb end ear syringe is

fine.

2.. Day 1 -start by empting 2 capsules of vitamin E into 1.5 tablespoons of

distilled water (the same volume as a corticoid enema) 800 I U total. Do this by

sticking a pin into a capsule and squeeze out the contents. Suck up the mixture

(it does not dissolve in the water). I used a small tapered wine glass. Use as

an enema but retain the mixture.

3.. On the second day empty 4 capsules and repeat the same procedure.

4.. On the third day, empty 6 capsules and repeat the same procedure.

5.. On the 4th day empty 8 capsules repeat. Up to this point I received no

visible results.

6.. On the 5th day, empty 10 capsules that's 4000 I U of vitamin E.

The following morning was the first time I saw stool form since I could

remember. No blood. Controlled bowel movements. Ulcerative colitis was no longer

a problem. I will advise the best procedure at this point. I had to repeat this

every day for a long time or on the 2nd day the gut would revert to its old

habits. No side effects. Take the enema after a bowel movement and if possible

at bedtime or in the morning and continue to lie on your side a while to give

the enema a chance to circulate through out the colon. If at first you lose some

material, don't worry you will get enough of the vitamin E to work. I kept

telling the doctors at the hospital they kept smiling. Stay at the 10 capsule

doses then let me know of your results and I will advise you further. I finally

increased the dose by 2 capsules a day until I reached 20 capsules.

 

Since that time, the ulcerative colitis has never been a problem. MY RECORDS

SHOW THIS. The vitamin E mixture used should be all- natural and have the

formula d-alpha tocopherol acetate and NOT dl-alpha tocopheryl that is

synthetic.

 

I have never taken another enema or ANY medication. At that time, I was also

taking one multi vitamin & mineral table+ 500 mg of vitamin C + one capsule of

400 I U vitamin E. I stopped the vitamin E soon after. I even bought a

motorcycle and put 15,000 miles on it. Remember I am only relating the facts of

my experience and will be willing to answer your questions. Please advise me of

your results so it can be of help to others. No fruit or fruit juice. Follow the

diet.

 

Right after a bowel movement or before bedtime is the best time to use the enema

for that day. Lay on your side with knees drawn up for easy insertion.

 

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Do not rinse the bulb after use and just clean the outside.

You can spread a small amount of food grade vegetable oil around the tip for a

comfortable insertion.

Let comfort be your guide.

Attachment 2: The vegetable fiber diet

First some editor's notes by Ed:

Sheldon says that grains, sugar, corn, normal yogurt and other foods which are

clearly species-inappropriate foods can be eaten in the diet.. I would like to

suggest that it's better to start with a diet, that's also compatible with the

SCDiet. This diet excludes all foods that are inappropriate for human

digestion.. By leaving out all red-marked foods (see below) the diet is still

compatible with the SCDiet.. You're ofcourse free to experiment with the " red "

foods below, but please remember my warning.. On the other hand, Sheldon shows

that he can handle those foods perfectly well, so it seems possible, but

remember that the red foods can create other health problems in the short or

long run..

 

Sheldon's high-fiber diet

This part has been updated.. Check the update here

 

The diet is just as important as the vitamin E enema. Vegetables have an

insoluble fiber that binds stool. Fruit has a soluble fiber that has the

opposite effect.

a.. No fruit or fruit juice of any kind.

b.. No frozen vegetables. Freezing destroys the fiber structure. It is easy to

use all the vegetables.

Wash them all and use part of each, keep the rest in the refrigerator. I fill a

bowl 7 " x 2.5 " twice a day with cooked broccoli, carrot, parsnip, turnip, yellow

squash ,mushrooms. It is easy to prepare in a micro-oven. You place slices of

carrot, parsnip and turnip in the bowl for 2 minutes. Then add the broccoli (the

best) and yellow squash for another 2.50 minutes. You than add the mushrooms for

1.75 minutes. Asparagus, upper part of stalk only, baked potato, cauliflower,

tapioca pudding (can be made with soy milk) are good.. Cooking in water is best

then drinking the water. On a George Forman grill, I cook either salmon or

chicken breast. I fry using olive oil, egg whites, 1/3 cup, (sold in a carton)

with chopped onions every day .You can use 3 eggs a week .The onion is optional

but very good. You can also use canned tuna or sardines or other fish. Each day

I have ¼ cup of brown rice with low fat yogurt, sugar is O.K. I cook ¾ of a cup

of pearl barley; then keep in the refrigerator

and use at every meal three tablespoons of barley. Also corn (Delmonte uses

unfrozen corn). I also eat the following but would not use until you are cured

..I eat frozen chocolate yogurt (no fruit) and drink skim milk without bad

effect; some time high fiber spaghetti (7 grams of fiber) with tomato sauce. One

banana.

 

It is very important to use distilled water. No cold drinks. Some bottled water

is no better than tap water. I use a distiller (Sears). What I remove is a cup

of brown water from every gallon of city water and since the colon is sore it

may be sensitive to these things. Drink 6 glasses of water each day (8 oz.).

 

I can eat every thing in a restaurant now, even salads, without a bad effect. I

may lose stool form (I use as the indicator) for a bad food choice. This diet is

not written in stone. Use other fresh vegetables you may prefer or limit the

grains.

Eat comfortable portion amounts and a variety of vegetables, each have a

different fiber. There will be an increase in flatulence until your colon

becomes accustomed to the fiber in your diet. As always, any question, ASK. You

should also be sure to eat egg whites twice a day and walk at least 30 minutes a

day. No stressful exercise.

 

 

c.. If you cannot follow the diet CLOSELY for a short time period to get the

positive result, don't start the procedure.

d.. THE PROCEDURE WILL NOT WORK IF THE DIET IS NOT FOLLOWED PROPERLY. The fiber

binds the stool keeping irritation against the colon wall to a minimum that

stops the bleeding and aids the colon in healing itself. The vitamin E works at

the source of the infection. The above vegetables are all high fiber. You should

see a positive effect in 6 days.

 

After the procedure, you can make diet adjustments that will be right for you.

The food should be well cooked and warm. The outer skin of the parsnip, carrot

and turnip should be removed. Vegetable skins have a high concentration of fiber

that can be an irritant to the colon.. A $ 2.50 vegetable peeler works best by

removing more of the top fiber layer.

 

Keep me informed daily of your diet. Most poor results happen from an improper

diet.

Follow the diet as closely as possible.

Remember no fruit or fruit juice

 

If you try the procedure, any information sent back should be helpful to others.

If possible read " NEW FACTS ABOUT FIBER' by Betty Kamen PHD

The Elaine Gottschall SCDiet will not work there are to many wrong foods.

If you have not been using vegetables, start the higher fiber diet by by

increasing the portions over a period of time.
