Inspirational Crohn's Healing Stories

[joelsprechman]

INSPIRATIONAL

Two phone calls in the past week with individuals who completely healed their Crohn's Disease(Inflammatory Bowel Disease) after debilitating journeys. One with photographic Colonoscopy and Endoscopy results that even surprised their Gastro Doctor so much that she sent it around to other colleagues for second and third opinions. The other didn't have insurance so was limited on options.

Details and full gnarly stories to come

Grateful these individuals are willing to share their emotional, vulnerable story of family, purpose, love, pregnancy,bathroom life and healing.

Many of these stories are dropping in my lap these days, I wonder how can I best present these stories, perhaps open the eyes of the greatest healthy skeptic. Hopefully the medical records and endoscopy and colonoscopy reports will help. What would serve other's the most?

I've also been wondering where do I "draw the line". Perhaps a good marker is the 5-year marker as is important in Cancer remission. So yes, these both are in pharmaceutical free remission for more than five years.

More to come...stay Gutsy

At this point, there is no known cure for Crohn's disease. On the other hand, I am glad these people have reached remission.

Agreed - who said anything about a cure? Please do not put words in my mouth/post. However - remission and symptomatic free without pharmaceuticals for greater than five consecutive years is a commendable accomplishment worth exploring and sharing with others - and least I believe that's the case. anda-wave-t:

I am sorry, joelsprechman.

I saw your Gofundme page from when you were in the hospital last year. I hope your condition has improved since then.
