The basics are the hot sit baths and watching medications and diet. I got through many of them without surgeries, all of them horrible. Recently, one of...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I agree to the use and acceptance growing among doctors. If they don't agree, but it is legal on the MM books, that is tough. I always like to debate it, but they rarely have more time than a hello.

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I was checking some data, FECO is the better oil, made with regular high alcohol for extraction, not paint thinner like some brands.

    Introducing Myself

    Hello, my name is David, I've been fighting for 10 years to get my issues under control, keep working, and keep my health and weight up. I'm now 52 and I've reached the life-threatening levels requiring some serious surgeries, a stoma, bone removal, and other serious and permanent damage.
