I went to the site, but there are a few different ones. Can you tell me what the code is of the one you get. Do you think the yerba mate tea is enough as I have found in the past that a high fibre product seems to set off my UC again. I'm taking Primal Defense which is working very well but very expensive at the current dose I'm at. Is it the tea that tastes bad and is there a better flavor or something you can add to it to make more desirable?
Thanks Q

was wondering if the fiber formula and mate was still keeping your UC from returning. searching for new alternative treatments right now. I thought i healed myself through a macrobiotic type of diet, but a couple months ago my UC came back in full force for some unkown reason. curious to see if the mate and fiber worked for you long term. just bought some Guayaki mate and am going to try it out. How much do you take, and does it ever keep you awake at night since it's a stimulant? checked out the sites you suggested.

The reason this tea works is because it is KILLING OFF THE parasites THAT ARE CAUSING THE COLON PROBLEMS... Hippocrates says that DEATH BEGINS IN THE COLON, and Yerba Mate kills off the parasites. It is also important to do a Colon Cleanse called Triphala and a major cleanse twice a year. A good one is Paragone...

The real problem as to why you have parasites are VITAMIN/MINERAL deficiencies....particularly zinc... You need a HIGH PROTEIN DIET BECAUSE ZINC helps keep parasites at bay...as well as other minerals... Optizinc is the best one to use because it has to be pared with the right amount of copper. YOU find ZINC in meat!!!

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your recommendation. First I have to say I don't really know if I had Colitis or Crohn's, because the doctors I went to said they didn't know exactly what I had (They even said that maybe it wasn't IBD at all). What I do know is that I had ulcers in my colon, that I had to sometimes go 15 to 20 times to the bathroom with diarrea and that I had gone to the bathroom with blood around 10 to 15 times in two years. I had a colonoscopy when I was 23 or 24 and it showed I had ulcers, then I had another colonoscopy when I was 25 and the ulcers where still there. This wednesday 21 of october 2015 at 27 I had another colonoscopy and the results were that the entire examined colon and ileum appeared normal without ulcers.

At first they thought I had parasites, then they thought I was gluten intolerant, lastly when they did the first colonoscopy they said I probably had IBD. That's when I started researching about Crohn's and UC. First I started doing the SCD diet and it somewhat worked, but every time I cheated I would come back to my symptoms. I also incorporated The Paleo Approach book into my diet. I also bought coconut oil, organic honey, propolis, polen, all kinds of vitamins, grapefruit seed extract, cinnamon, and other things. But I think what did the trick was two or three months ago I started buying all kinds of teas, I bought Chamomile tea which I think helped, I felt my haemorrhoids disappear. Calendula tea.Turmeric. Chai tea of the brand Uncle Lee's tea. Green tea. And around one month ago Yerba Mate. Around one month ago I started doing the coconut oil detox where you take one tablespoon each hour for around 8 to 10 hours for as many days as you can, I also took grapefruit seed extract, turmeric with water, some chamomile tea, calendula tea and yerba mate. Three weeks ago I stopped all that and I started taking only Yerba Mate and Probiotics. I took Yakult, all kinds of yogurt, kefir, and I bought pharmaceutical probiotics of saccasaccharomyces boulardii, bacillus clausii, acidophilus pearls, and other brand with 12 varieties. Before this if I ate lactose I would immediately be sent 15 to 20 times to the bathroom with diarreah. Suddenly I could start eating everything. And my stools before were malformed, yellow, small chunks and floated. After they are more and more brown with time, they sink, and they are really big, well formed and smooth.

I think what really did it was the Yerba Mate, because I instantly started feeling not only more energetic like with coffee, but different, better, like I could exercise more, but I also felt like if I was somehow having a herxheimer reaction (die off) of some kind, so start slowly and increase the dosage with time, I sometimes felt really bad, with heart palpitations and strange, but I think it really did the trick, go slow to avoid any complications. I also think that the Probiotics helped a lot also. I don't know which is the one working if Yerba Mate or Probiotics or something I did before, try Yerba Mate and Probiotics first and if you don't get results try the other things I did.

I also think that chamomile tea could do the same thing. Because when I drank chamomile tea my haemorrhoids dissapeared. Also with Yerba Mate they disappear. If I stop taking either of them they return. I also feel with Yerba Mate that my anus begins to itch when I am taking it so I think maybe it's killing some kind of bacteria or pathogen. I also got my spleen really swollen and I can feel it is swollen. My theory is that the spleen ids the organ that produces all the white blood cells etc. So maybe the Yerba Mate uncovers some kind of bacteria hiding somehow and my immune system can now see it and attack it. So if you get a swollen spleen I would say to continue, but carefully, lower your dosage so you don't damage your spleen and lymphatic system and give it time, when you feel your spleen isn't getting swollen increase your dosage a little bit. Another thing I get is my belly gets inflated, I thought maybe it was doing more harm than good but I continued because I had faith on the guys in here that had posted about it before and because of my theory that it's some kind of die off. And now I don't have any ulcers, it feels like if they switched my colonoscopy photos for someone elses lol. I also had insomnia before, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't wake up easily.When I finally would go to sleep I would then have to sleep for more than 8 hours and I wouldn't feel rested afterwards. Now I can go to sleep faster and I sleep less, sometimes six hours, I wake up earlier and without problems. So I think that I will have to take Yerba Mate forever. But I don't care, I am so happy, I never thought someday I wouldn't have ulcers anymore and have a normal life again. I hope it works for whoever reads this too!

Good luck!
