Disgestacure claims 95% success rate curing Crohn's

[743]

this website claims a 95% success rate for curing Crohn's.

did anyone try it? does it work? is there anything i should knew (or be warned about) before i try it?

they say its a "superplant" of the aloe vera family. Im not sure that is legal to say but whatever, who knows what the hell it actually is.

then they state "how solid is our science?" they provide no studies showing the compound being effective in mouse models of IBD nor human models of IBD. So it seems they dont have any science to back it up at all.

Whats interesting is they make another statement that associates a nobel prize winning scientist to some book they somehow are also loosly associated with. and this book seems like total bullcrap once you look inside of it. Its not published by any real publisher and is available for free on the internet.

They give no good reason's why anyone should believe anything they say, and it all looks real shady.

Try colostrum or something there is a much more solid scientific basis for that and its completely natural. so many other things that have real potential to help rather then this. But then again try searching aloe and IBD/colitis and NCBI to see if any good studies come up. I have heard some people say that aloe has helped them, in no way shape or form will it cure IBD though.

Based on that website though, i wouldn't buy any supplements from them though because i already dont trust them, who knows what you will actually get.


here is an example of some evidence they could have provided.

i did read that, its on the ingredients page:

and below that they also state

What is DigestaCure made of?

There is no cure for Crohn's. Sites like this boasting that they are are all usually scams.

Even if the site says it's not aloe vera, if it's in the same family as it, it still probably shouldn't be taken. We have a great wiki article explaining about it.

If you go to this website's page about how the medication works, it redirects you to a site that just redirects you back to Digestacure. It talks about "shutting down" the immune system as though it's a cure, but we already have immunosuppressants like Imuran/6mp/Methotrexate and other medications with immunosuppressive qualities, and that still hasn't cured anyone.

Actually, when you scroll down he list of diseases they claim to cure I think it would have been easier to list what they don’t.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a :quack:

Digestacure has been discussed on this forum before, it is a con.

I tried searching but by mistake i selected "titles only" so i didn't see what people said about it.

Also the "doctor" who wrote the book that they keep shilling is chiropractor as opposed to any sort of GI or internal medicine. Code of life page (link) and Facebook page for the chiropractor clinic (link)

I've notice a couple chiropractors who have written books claiming to cure IBD. you'd think the GI doctors would know if there was a cure for IBD.

I hate to see desperate people being preyed on by slick sales people.

i requested from them to contact someone who tried it and got no response

Chiropractors are alternative medicine. They do not go to med school, they originally incorporated "Vitalism" as part of their theories (although it's only the minority of them actually do now). Chiropractic medicine was based partially on the idea that spinal adjustments would help all medical issues. The AMA was openly anti-chiropractic until the late 80's (once calling them a "cult") and the reason the stopped was a law suit
It can help with lower back pain, some issues science has confirmed it as a placebo, other issues don't have proper scientific data to confirm or deny.

If they had the cure, why are we all logging on here? There is no cure, or secret.
