PG underlying causes

January 1, 2008

Thanks again, Jeff, for the time you spent on your reply. And thank

you for your exhaustive reseasrch. Could you please help me with a

short cut. Thanks for pointing out the difference between en triggers

and pg underlying causes. Where can I find a list of the 20 underlying

causes?

I did not mean to imply that there were natural cures. I was pointing

out natural stresses to my immune system that were quite significant,

and sustained over decades because it took me until my mid forties to

realize my food sensitivities. Once I made the diet changes, the extent

of my reactions became very obvious because of the remarkable

improvements. But with all that appreciated, I certainly realize that

my immune system is damaged beyond what I can effect with dietary

changes. I don't think I can undo the damage that has been done. (But I

would like to avoin doing even more damage if there are triggers I

might avoid.)Between all the food and chemical sensitivities, allergy

history, and chemo and radiation treatments for Hodgkin's, and a life-

long history of unusual amounts of stress (starting with being raised

by generations of alcoholics) - I think it would be nieve to think that

I can reverse the immune damage with some homeopathic remedies,

nutriceuticles and organic foods. But I do these things in hopes of

pampering my immune system.

I wasn't reaching out fishing for natural remedies. I was curious to

see if others had similar personal health histories. I love the " poll "

section. I was a sociology major. I have an active curiosity about

researching what people have in common form the past once they realize

they have something common in the present.

tina,

i have done exhaustive research since my severe problem with pg. my

underlying cause is crohns disease. in some cases there is no link to

an underlying cause, most often there is....best estimates are 50/50.

there are about 20 associated diseases that are underlying.

pg is not " triggered " , as en is. there is a very distinctive

difference. even tho we do not know the mechanism behind pg, there is a

lot we do know. there has been evidence, nor have i ever been able to

find a, more or less, " natural " cause for pg,
