RE: 3 month flare. Take more medicine?

[Guest guest]

I have to confess, I don’t understand why you would take

Entocort – a drug, and one with side-effects (and one which didn’t do anything

positive for me, I might add) – rather than LDN, admittedly a drug, but one

without bad side-effects, and one which will help your body heal your immune

system, which none of the Crohn’s or Colitis drugs can do.

yes, I have looked into LDN and spoke to my doc about it. He is ok with me

wanting to try it if things don't improve down the road. For now my goal is

still no meds at all. So I will take the entocort to get this flare calmed

down, and if this keeps repeating itself I will try the LDN

SCD - 3.5 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.

Asacol - 4 pills 3 times a day - hopefully scd will help me get off these! No

more Hydrocortisone or Prednisone!

At the risk of sounding once again like a broken record,

have you considered LDN?

It will get you off the other meds.

i'm eating the other nut flowers with no reactions, and I would take

sulfasaline but I am allergic to sulfa drugs, so i can't. I'm back on the

entocort...we'll see how things go.

Mara,

There are still no long term studies about the side effects of LDN if one stays

on it long term. I think the idea that it is a cure all and preventative is

quite far fetched. Where is the data to prove such claims? Yes, I understand

it helps the immune system.. But let's not overshoot here. There are many

cofactors with disease.
