Question: My wife, 36, has ulcerative colitis, and she is taking a lot of harsh
medication. Is there natural treatment to help control this nasty disease?
Dr. Blaylock's Answer:
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the large intestine and the rectum.
Newer research has shown that the supplement silymarin in a dose of 200 mg, three times a day, can significantly relieve the symptoms, which can include abdominal pain, blood in stool, diarrhea, and unexplained fever.
Soluble fiber products also help, both as a prebiotic and in the production of short-chain fatty acids. In addition, omega-3 oils high in DHA reduce bouts of ulcerative colitis.
Most inflammatory episodes can be controlled with a combination of these treatments, and healing of the gut will then be allowed to proceed.
Research shows that supplementing with prebiotics and probiotics also improves the
condition.
