DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor; nor do I have any medical knowledge at all. I am just sharing my story and my experience with a natural herbal remedy that alleviated ALL OF MY SYMPTOMS within 2 months. I am not saying this is a "cure."  But, this did eliminate all of my symptoms and I have been symptom free for over a year. Please consult a doctor before using any herbal remedy.

I had suffered for 5 years with Colitis. I did the drug thing, and I was always bleeding, even on the drugs. I never stopped bleeding; it just varied in degrees. I started on Asacol, no success. Then, on to Pentasa (and no success). Then on to Imuran (and no success). I had been on and off prednisone as well. I had never had any remission. I was always bleeding, just varying degrees. I had been hospitalized 4 times because my colon was in such bad shape. My doctor told me that I should consider getting it removed. SCREW THAT . So, I started testing natural things on me, because I really wanted it to go away. (As a side note: Doctors really hate you when you say that you are doing natural things with your body). Anyway, I probably tried over 50+ natural remedies that people claimed work (e.g. Molecure, Mangosteen, apple cidar vinegar, NAET, raw food diet, vegan diet, probiotics, fish oil, etc.). I am not saying those things won't work for you, but they did not for me. Anyways, I am happy to say (that with the help of a recommendation) I have found something that works. My GI has told me I have no inflammation in my colon, and I haven't had any bleeding/mucous/discomfort in over a year. All my symptoms are gone.

Hopefully this will help you too.

So, I will cut to the case to tell you how to get 100% better (hopefully) using a natural remedy.

YERBA MATE TEA has completely eliminated all of my symptoms of Colitis. What is Yerba Mate Tea? It is a strain of green tea, that is an anti-inflammatory, and it is loaded with anti-oxidants.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TAKE YERBA MATE TEA WHILE ON AN ANTIBIOTIC. I learned that the hard way. It is a toxic combination.

How to Prepare the Brew of Tea

I was recommended to take almost 3 litres of the tea a day. Doing that for two months made me lose 40 pounds, and I was hospitalized (due to dehydration). But, I found the right quantity to take, which has no side effects (for me, at least).

Step 1: Take 1 tbsp. of the Yerba Mate tea leaves and put into a bodum (or some type of tea-steeping mechanism that will push the leaves to the bottom of the liquid)

Step 2: Take 3/4 a cup of boiling water (eyeball it), and mix with 1/4 cup of room temperature water (or cold water). Mix these two waters before adding to the tea. (I usually pour the boiling water 3/4s of the way into a mug, and then top it off with 1/4 of room temperature water). 100% boiling water will kill the tea leaves, which is why you mix it with a bit of cold/room-temp. water

Step 3: Add the mixed water to the bodum, that has the tea leaves in it

Step 4: Let the tea steep for at least an hour (I usually let it go for 2 or 3 hours).

Step 5: Drink

Note: I only drink this once a day, and after 1 month, all my symptoms were gone.

Note: Some people say it keeps them up at night (it does have caffeine in it). But, I sleep well. Have it in the morning if you have trouble sleeping.
