IBS, Colitis & Crohn’s Natural Protocols

Do any of us not have or not know someone with some form of IBS, Colitis or Crohn’s? No? Then your friends and family are very good at keeping their embarrassing condition to themselves!
When I was growing up, these were all unheard of! Now they are ubiquitous!

Degenerative issues such as these are all around us. Very few of us have been fortunate enough to be untouched by them in some way. Below are some suggestions and starting points for your own research or usage based simply on my own research and experience. I have posted this here as I hope to help those who are confronted with them to save precious time and energy and begin doing whatever they can to prolong life and increase the quality of life. In most cases using conventional medicine combined with natural, homeopathic and allopathic approaches seems wise.

Please do your own research regarding these suggestions. I have personally been part of some nearly miraculous results from these protocols. I stand to make no personal gains whatsoever through this, other than knowing I have helped another person with their struggles.

It seems the causes of most stomach issues are due to a few simple factors, and the goals of this protocol are to reverse them. We must optimize nutrition, eliminate cellular toxins and acidity, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, clean up the bad gut bacteria and replace it with good, and avoid foods which clog our ability to digest. The causes seem to stem from our contaminated global dairy supply, proliferation of dairy and wheat fillers in nearly all processed foods which we then become allergic to, low nutrition value of our foods, depletion of healthy gut bacteria and digestive enzymes in our colons.

Many represent lifestyle changes that I have personally made and continue and have gained substantial improvements in my own vitality and wellness as a direct result. I know the below will seem overwhelming, but once you do your research and start on this path, picking just one item to begin with and going from there, you will find they become habits that are easily done on a daily basis:

*Please get advice from your own circle of health professionals and visit a multi-certified pharmacist / herbalists / compounder to check all natural and pharmaceuticals

• When in a flare up eat a tablespoon of coconut oil with 2 drops of oregano oil and a tablespoon of aloe vera gel, once the flare up stops (usually within days of starting this) do this every second day
  
• Complete avoidance of ALL cattle and cow products. That means no red meat, cheese, yogurt, milk, ice cream or other products with dairy! Read all your labels. This goes well beyond simple lactose intolerance and the semi-permanent hard coating of your intestinal villi. Please research the incredible indestructible prolific MAP bacteria, Yohn’s Disease in cattle and how some people have low or no ability to fight this bacteria.
  
• Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides do horrendous damage to our gut lining are a leading cause of leaky gut so eat organic when you can
  
• Eat less often using intermittent fasting, if our stomachs and bodies are constantly digesting food we don’t give our bodies the time or resources it needs to heal, we have never eaten as often in human history
  
• Avoid wheat products as gluten tears about gut lining and small seeds as they can get lodged in your intestinal walls
  
• Organic wild raised chicken or fish.
  
• Chew your food very thoroughly and completely coat it with saliva (enzymes) before swallowing.
  
• Daily shake with coconut milk, spirulina, chlorella, collagen, turmeric, aloe gel, banana, raw honey, stevia and l-glutamine.
  
• Supplement with a strong varied probiotic, boswelia, digestive enzymes, vitamin D and krill oil.
  
• Moderate sun, exercise and sleep in total darkness and silence
  
• Eat less during a flare up and no fruit or vegetables during a flare up. You will probably do well with small amounts of well cooked chicken, plain white rice and gluten free breads during flare ups.
  
• Keep a food journal of everything that passes your lips to increase your awareness of what you consume and how it relates to your wellness. Also make a written note how your stress levels and tummy is for that day out of 10.
