I had no idea so many young people are affected with Crohn's & Colitis.

[dolabla]

I hate seeing little kids affected its bothersome. I've had a severe UC since I was 10 years old(currently 19) I started having problems when I was younger but they couldn't diagnose the problem where I was living because there were no pedatric gastronolgists. I moved to Gainesville Florida and they diagnosed me at 10. UC runs through my family, my dad has it, my uncle has it, my sister has ulcers on her colon though very small and my Grandma we think had it. It's just an awful disease.

The medical community already has a cure for Crohn's Disease and UC. Why should they hand out the cure when they make billions in profits every year from immune suppressant drugs? Crohn's Disease is not something wrong with your brain. It's something wrong with your digestive tract, most likely Candida overgrowth. That's why Specific Carb Diet and Atkins Diet work so well. They are the same thing as the Candida Diet. I used to have severe Crohns, now I am free of all meds! Ask questions please

I am so happy to see that there is a foundation for raising money for the Crohn's and Ulcerativie Colitis patient. Professor John Hermon-Taylor is working on a vaccine for the Crohn's. You can get in touch with him at John Hermon-Taylor, St George's University of London Cranmer Terrace, LONDON, SW17 ORE

It can be cured by eating 100% Raw food and low fat vegan diet. Look into it and read The 80/10/10 diet by Dr. Douglas Graham and save your money from doing research. If it is not cured, it will reverse and you could get off the meds for good! Get rid of the docs and meet with Dr. Doug Graham asap!!!!!!!
