Whipworm Can Possibly Treat Crohns Disease?

There are many alternative treatments for Crohn's disease; aloe vera isn't the only remedy out there. In fact, one of the latest studies showing promise for Crohn's disease sufferers is an alternative treatment known as helminthic therapy.

Helminthic therapy is an alternative treatment that uses Trichiuruis suis (pig whipworm) to combat symptoms of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. During therapy, a patient is given eggs of the pig whipworm. The eggs hatch within the body, grow and colonize for a limited time and then disappear, so no harm is done.

It may sound bizarre and disgusting to treat Crohn's by causing an infestation of pig whipworm in the intestines, after all, shouldn't we in Western civilization be celebrating that we've eradicated these pests from our systems with our sanitized culture? We're the first people in history to be worm free, so where's the logic behind this therapy? As ridiculous as it seems, when you learn all the facts behind helminthic therapy, you'll find that it's not as crazy as it sounds.

I realized something...

...when I decided to post about my chronic affliction online I realized that I am not alone in my fight. There are many others out there just like myself fighting with all levels of severity of ulcerative colitis.

They probably don't tell anyone because its such a terrible condition to have. To those who have ulcerative colitis, stay strong and fight it for your life.

The human being is a very resilient creature and has overcome all obstacles to this date.

$25 Million After Having Colon Removed

A New Jersey jury has hit the pharmaceutical company that makes Accutane with a $25.16 million judgment in a lawsuit filed by an Alabama man who blamed the drug for his inflammatory bowel disorder.

Thirty-eight-year-old Andrew McCarrell of Moody, Ala., took the acne drug in his 20s. He says Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. failed to adequately warn of its side effects. McCarrell eventually had his colon removed.

Divorce Your Ego

REJECTING YOURSELF, AND OTHER FINE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING YOUR EGO FROM REALITY

What drives us to become (or not become) who we are as individuals?

Why do our egos exist and does it truly lie behind the "mind's eye", serving as both a conscience, a memory bank, an experience vault and our innate definition of free will?

As human beings, our desire to find the purpose of our existence has been shrouded by the cowardice most of us possess when faced with a reckoning of who or what is really behind the wheel, controlling our actions.

It's truths could be remarkable, enlightening and frightening, all at the same time. A handful of some of the most respected Thinkers of this genre all had much to offer by way of introducing this relatively new (yet tested and proven repeatedly) method of higher understanding.

Blogging and Life

Suppose everyone had a blog, what would they put on it? What colors would they choose? What kind of pictures would they upload?


A blog is as unique and unlimited as a person, for within each and every one of us are stories and interesting ideas, full of untapped potential. The value of your inner most thoughts can never be realized until you speak them.

Thanks and I hope for the best in your daily battles.

Lawsuit with Girardi Keese against Sotret

I just got a phone call from a representative from Girardi Keese and the lawsuit against Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals is under way. Honestly though, I would rather have my original health over any monetary compensation. Being afflicted with a chronic disease at this age can only mean worse in the later years of my life.

When I first found out I had ulcerative colitis I was angry at everyone, the doctor, my family, myself. How could my body be so weak? This condition is disabling in the sense that your frequently have to use the bathroom during flares, and complications can lead to the entire removal of the large intestine, called an ileostmy.

I pray that I will never need to do such a thing.

Would you take a drug to cure your acne, but might give you IBD?

If I had known that my intestines were at risk of being chronically inflamed I would've have never taken it! The fact is the manufacturers of Accutane knew about the IBD risks but decided to sell the product anyways, reaping massive profits.

The makers of Accutane, Roche Holding, pulled the drug after several lawsuits that resulted in large payments to plaintiffs who claimed that Accutane caused their inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A recent study (presented at the American College of Gastroenterology's 2009 meeting) of 21,832 healthy people and 8,189 people with IBD showed that those who had taken Accutane were one and a half times more likely to have developed IBD. The risk further increased with long-term use of the drug.

Sotret

CAUTION: Chance of permanent internal bleeding

Apriso - My Drug of Choice

4 pills a day everyday forever

Great News!

I have decided to create a blog for the chronic disease ulcerative colitis because I myself am afflicted with this disease. The cause was likely to be due to my previous intake of Accutane.

I am currently filing a lawsuit against the makers of Sotret, the generic brand of Isotretinion that caused my ulcerative colitis. I have had no family history of any kind of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The lawsuit is in motion, this disease is chronic and has no cure, requiring DAILY EXPENSIVE MEDICINE.

If you or someone you know has taken Accutane, let them know that it could be the cause for serious chronic IBD. The damage Accutane can do to your bowels is permanent and irreversible.
