Re: WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH CHRON'S/COLITIS TREATMENTS?

Lorri,

I very, very respectfully disagree very strongly with what you've posted. I want to emphasize the respect, because it sounds as if you've been struggling with this illness for a long time.

Did you get a chance to scroll down and read the medical report and statistical breakdown of Dr. Wolfgang Lutz's work with Crohn's patients?

It can be read at: http://www.scdiet.org/7archives/lutz/lutz7.html

His conclusion: "I am convinced that we would spare many of our patients the need of undergoing surgery if we were to put them on a low-carbohydrate diet. An operation is, after all, only a form of mutilation leaving the root of the trouble untouched."


The evidence is mounting that a dietary approach to Crohn's reduces and then eliminates the symptoms. But it demands a very strict adherence to the diet -- no dairy, no grains, no complex sugar.

There may be numerous reasons you and other patients or doctors resist the evidence that shows bacteria is killed off by a proper diet. There is nothing for your system to attack, since the bacteria fades, and thus your system lays off destroying the intestines in a battle to get at the bacteria.

Please tell me you have read Gottschall's The Vicious Cycle. If you are struggling with this illness, how can it not be worth a few hours of your time?

And please read that article linked above. I would like to hear your specific reply to the 90 percent success rate reported by a licensed physician.
