About this blog

This blog examines current ideas on alternative treatments for Crohn's disease. Although the medical community will tell you that diet doesn't matter, or that alternative treatments are worthless for treating Crohn's disease, this is only because there hasn't been as much double blind clinical testing for most alternative treatments. Therefore they cannot with certainty offer them to you. But, the truth is, many treatments can have an effect on Crohn's disease, or at least improve your general health. We attempt to examine them here.

How to Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome: Review of John Bergman Video





According to this video from John Bergman, leaky gut (and by extension, Crohn's and other IBD) is caused by:
  • vaccines causing an improper immune response (Th2 response)
  • GMO produce and meat from animals that eat GMO produce
  • antibiotic use (decimates the gut microbiome)
  • prescription drugs (not specified - seems to be against drugs in general)
How to fix it:
  • restore the microbiome by raw eating vegetables, raw milk (for the bacteria)
  • refusing to eat GMO
  • saturated fats such as coconut oil
  • adequate vitamin D
  • iodine (he recommends ancientpurities.com)
  • large amounts of vitamin C (4,000 mg)
  • probiotics
  • exercise and stress relief

He mentions getting bacteria for your body from raw milk and raw vegetables. It seems a bit dangerous to me. He claims that traveler's diarrhea is often the body getting rid of bacteria that it doesn't want and taking in bacteria that it does want.
