Natural Treatments

[Margie63]

Has anyone successfully maintained remission with natural therapies along, i.e., aloe vera, boswellia, so many of the natural remedies that are stated on the internet? My daughter, 18, is on Purinthol or 6mp and she is having pretty significant hair loss. She also suffers from very low energy from it.

Experiences both negative and positive would be great.

Thanks so much.

I know of one lady who used Aloe Vera water that helped her IBS a lot. Like any other treatment, they are often specific to the person. Not all things work for all people, so I tend to use try any treatment that is low risk, and low cost.

The worse that can happen is they will not work. That risk comes with any treatment.

Boswellia has interesting properties that make me think it could work. I have never used it, so it is speculation. I know some others here have used it. Maybe they can post on their experiences.

I use Boswellia. It controls the inflammation. The difficulty is finding the correct dosage. I take 1000mgs a day and bump it up if I feel inflamed. I also take L-glutamine to heal my intestines. I take DGL for acid when needed. I drink George's Always Active Aloe when needed. I am 80% complient with the Specific Carb Diet. Next week I will be 100% complient! Made up my mind. I also take LDN, probiotics, Super B complex, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and magnesium/calcium when needed. I am in remission (for 4 months!). My goal is to heal my intestines.

It takes finding a routine and theraputic doses. It is not easy but I think it is worth it.

Hi,

I have achieved complete remission with AMP (Aloe Mucilaginous Pollysaccarides) which i never came anywhere near with the drugs the hospitals gave me.All the operations i underwent took me from severe CD to moderate CD - the cycle then restarted of the CD slowly getting worse again
until i faced the knife again.
I no longer take any CD drugs.The only pharma'l drug i take is loperamide due to the short bowel 2 resections have left me with.
I went for a blood test (at my request) at the end of march.
My CRP level was 4 - the lowest it has ever been.
I'd like to see some tests of AMP so CD/UC patients could see what success rates were acheived.
I'm one of the lucky ones as i had life changing success.
It now costs me £20pm (3 caps p/d maintenence dose).

Best Wishes

I am taking a Chinese herbal extract that has really changed things for me after 20 years. Nothing I have taken has worked as well and it's all natural, derived from plants.

What is it?

This is something that has been provided to me and a few others by researchers that are studying CD and UC in China.

My understanding is that CD/UC were, until recently, pretty much unknown diseases in China. As China is becoming more developed, CD/UC is on the rise and there are people in China that have used this successfully for treatment and has a very high success rate among the people who are taking it. It sure has turned my life around.

I suspect that this will be available some time in the future in the US but I am not sure. I know that their primary focus is finding the cause of CD/UC. With CD/UC increasing in China, there is a unique opportunity to find the source of the disease.

Has anyone successfully maintained remission with natural therapies .

Diet and supplements are working for me. Also found acupuncture very helpful.

@ Nosick: what is it called, or what are the ingredients? it would be nice to know.

The product is labeled CCherbal and the ingredients listed are:

Bai Wei
Daqingyue
Huang Qin
Jiu Zhi Huang Lian
Mu Xiang

This is the maintanance product, the first 30 days you take a different product. Sorry, don't know the ingredients for that.

I don't think this is commercially available. They have had other people on this for close to a year and I hope they make it available after that. The capsules are given to me month by month.

I use Boswellia. It controls the inflammation.
