Re: Natural Symptom Alleviator for Colitis and Crohn's - Yerba Mate
I have a couple problems with what you said, although I do believe you are entitled to an opinion.
Ever since I've been using Yerba Mate, I have had no symptoms of any kind. My Doctor has told me (after a colonoscopy) that I have no inflammation anymore, when I used to have a severely inflamed colon. To simply dismiss Yerba Mate before even trying it seems naive.
Also, you claim you know the cause of Colitis and Crohn's? Are you a doctor or a scientist? As far as I've been told, nobody knows the cause. It is an auto-immune and inflammatory disease. All of the prescription drugs just target the symptoms by being anti-inflammatories or immuno-modulators. As far as I can tell, Yerba Mate does the same thing (except it actually works), and it has no side effects.
Please don't just dismiss something without even trying it.
And just an FYI, I have not gotten a cold since I have been on Yerba Mate. So, I doubt it is harming me in anyway. In fact, I think it is protecting me.
