Is there hope for my cousin?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My cousin's daughter has had Crohn's since she was 10. She is now 22. She just had a colonoscopy today and was told she needs to have a colostomy. I have been telling her about the diet, and now she wants to start it. She is coming to my house in about 45 min. I can help her with the diet, as my husband has been on it for 2 months. My husband's situation is not as severe, so he has been pretty much sailing through the pecan bread phases.

Is there any hope for her? Has anyone been in this situation, and the diet has helped? What about LDN?

I will try to get her to get on this group. You are the most helpful group of people out there in yahoo land!

Thank you!

, There is always hope and the best thing she could do is to start scd. There is supposedly " no Cure " for crohns but my husbands in remission and off all meds after about one year of the diet. We are trying LDN over xmas to boost his system and we hope he will never have to back to the troubles we have had but I know everyone is different and surgery is sometimes unavoidable. She has nothing to loose by trying it and everything to gain, but it will be a slow and steady race that will get her there.

Good luck to you both, Merry Christmas

Is there any hope for her?I think with the SCD there's always hope! I'm not sure how badly she needs the surgery, but whether she gets it or not, the SCD would definitely help. I would say get her on the diet ASAP and then just go from there. I know others on here have healed themselves from very serious illness with this diet, and I'm guessing they will chime in at some point and tell you of their experiences.

Absolutely, there's hope. And, yes, take LDN with the diet. Having a

colostomy is pretty darn serious, and not exactly reversible. And then

she'd have to deal with the bag for the rest of her life. If it were me I

certainly wouldn't allow them to do surgery until I had tried the diet and

LDN for quite a while. The chance is VERY HIGH that that combination will

help her a great deal.

There's a person on the Yahoo LDN list, Crystal is her name, I believe,

who keeps a list of doctors across the continent who will prescribe LDN. I

don't have her email address, but somebody else here who's on that list

may be able to tell you.

I think it is highly possible/probable though if she is that

ill, she may need something more powerful than LDN

to begin.

LDN is great - but it takes a while to build the effect - you

notice some effect right away, but it really takes several

months/up until 6 months to build full efficiency. And there's

a period around the end of the first month when your

T Cells are switching receptors - or something like that -

it's too late at night to look it up precisely (well I did try

and look it up but can't find the exact wording).

Even Dr. Bihari mentioned letting his cancer patients

finish up their therapy on something like chemo, I

believe he said (which also lowers the entire immune

system) and then continuing them on LDN.

Well, I'm hoping she or her mother gets on here, as I do not know everything

about her situation. She is pretty upset right now. What would be more

powerful than LDN?

What are the plans for surgery? Is it imminent, or does she have time? Maybe the

best thing for her to do immediately is go on the intro diet for 5 days and then

progress slowly. If nothing else, she will feel better, and if surgery is not

imminent, it may buy her time. Is she on medication? She should continue that

and start SCD.

I wouldn't rule out that LDN plus the diet can begin to help VERY quickly.

It certainly did for me. Not everyone has to waits weeks or months to see

effects. Not my any means.

Another possibility would be colloidal silver, which is effective for an

astonishing number of ailments, and works on bacteria, viruses and fungi.

It has similar effects to LDN (though works on a different principle) in

that it boosts the immune system.

You'd have to get it from a good company because it's made via different

means, some of which are better than others).

Surgery must not be imminent, as they want to send her to Chicago for a second

opinion (or my cousin wants her to go there, not sure which). I gave her some

soup, DCCC, yogurt, chicken, and a yogurt maker to get started. For those who

are so inclined, if you could pray that she can adhere to this. Thank you!

,

In the book Breaking The Vicious Cycle, by Elaine Gottshall, on the first page,

Elaine recounts the story of her eight year old daughter who had ulcerative

colitis and whose condition was deteriorating. Surgery was imminent. As a last

effort she visited Dr. Haas, author of Management of Celiac Disease and he put

her daughter on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Within two years she was free

of symptoms. She is now past 60 and still has her colon.

This was the beginning of Elaine's determination to spread the word. That's the

short version of how this list started.

I agree with others who said there is always hope.

I've also been called n... or Margaret. Which is funny, because I

Great News, Stick with SCD and you will see results. I have been on SCD for

nearly 5 months and overall progress has been steady, a little slow at times but

in the last two weeks I have been feeling really well with minimal symptoms and

have even put back on a few pounds. I am mentally prepared that it could be at

least two years before I am symptom free so I consider feeling as well as I do

after 5 months a bonus!

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy Healthy New Year!
