How I Cured My Ulcerative Colitis!

Congratulations and once again very informative video Bob.

Excellent video Bob. 

This is actually the accomplishment that I am most proud of. The one thing that was destroying my life that I did completely resolve. Cured the "incurable". And then the views are "meh", lol.

My deteriorating health all goes back to coffee.

Coffee -> Colitis -> Mesalamine (prescription drug) -> Mesalamine destroys kidneys -> Stage 4CKD -> High triglycerides -> Niacin (for trigs) -> Rhabdomyolisis (from Niacin)-> inching closer to stage 5 CKD.

Kinda sucks. 

Bob, thank you for posting this. This is something that I have been dealing with for years. They put me on medication, and I noticed within 24 hrs. of the first meds I had severe heart palpitations. I did not have this before, I immediately took myself off of them, and actually through the bottle away. Two days later I was watching the news, and they had a recall of the medication Nationwide because people were having heart attacks from this medication. I was also told like you, that diet did not affect it, but when I went away from certain foods, I got better. I tested it and when I went back, even lightly to those foods, it came back. Other foods also were a contributor, I slowly started to eliminate certain foods in my diet and have gotten much better. I have been one, I don't just listen and do as much of our society does, just because certain people in our government say it is so, does not mean it is so. People need to be diligent and check and research thing's out. For me that Is what I have done. This lifestyle makes a lot of sense. I have always had low blood sugar, fast metabolism and people have always told me keep candy or something in your pocket or with you if it goes down, I always thought was stupid to be honest. I would run and get something that had the quickest protein I could find to bring it back up, like a hamburger or steak, something like that. It would work, every time. It always made me wonder, because of my own experience with this issue. So, eating more meat products, I feel much better, and have felt clearer and more focused than I have before, and lighter too...lol   Since starting this, I have noticed that tummy issues are much calmer, though I am having one issue that I know will subside in time.

Isn't it frustrating? There's so many of us UC sufferers that either calmed our symptoms, cured them, or put them into remission with changes to our diet, and they will still insist that diet has nothing to do with it.

I used to mock those that though the food and pharmaceutical industries wanted to keep you fat and sick and called them conspiracy theorists. But after years and years of being let down by the medical system and having to do my own research and be my own advocate, I'm now proudly one of these outspoken "conspiracy theorists" myself, lol
