Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to inflammatory diseases of the intestines including Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, both considered autoimmune disorders. Patients with IBD can suffer with numerous symptoms including bloody diarrhea, intestinal cramping, ulceration of the colon, anemia, fever and fistulas. Both conditions can produce a number of symptoms outside the gastrointestinal tract also including severe fatigue, joint and muscle pains and skin disorders. These diseases can be life altering and life threatening. Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis start most frequently between the ages of 20 and 40, although no age is exempt. We have seen many children and teenagers medically diagnosed with these as well.
The number of people in the United States suffering with some form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is increasing, as are other autoimmune disorders. Patients seeking medical care for these issues find themselves in a never-ending ordeal of drugs, physician visits, colonoscopies and surgeries leading to a lifetime of misery. Steroids (prednisone) remain mainstays of “treatment” (see article “Problems with Prednisone”). These start the patient on a dismal path often leading to complications including diabetes, osteoporosis, adrenal exhaustion, premature aging and other issues. As the disease increases, which under medical care is the norm, “biological drugs” are employed such as Remicade, Humira, Enbrel and Entyvio. These immune suppressing agents may temporarily relieve symptoms but at great cost to the patient (see article “The Dangers of Biological Drugs”). This is not just the financial cost but also the toxic side effects that can occur including lymphoma (cancer) and serious infections as the body’s immune defense mechanisms are pharmaceutically compromised.
In those cases where drugs afford some temporary improvement in symptoms, the relief is generally short lived and the patient soon finds him or herself worse off than when they started. In time the drug list can becomes longer and longer, both for the drugs prescribed and for drugs to suppress the side effects of them. In many cases, the patient becomes exhausted by the ongoing “treatments” and at the end of their rope may consent to surgery.
Removal of part or all of the colon and/or part of the small intestine leaves the patient permanently compromised. As nothing has been done to address the causes of the problem it is not long till once again the patient is facing further surgery till at last, when no more intestinal tissue can be “spared.” the patient is told “we did everything we could to help you, there is nothing more we can offer. You will just have to live with it”. There are reasons why people develop Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease and drugs and surgery do nothing to address these causes or reasons.
The ongoing failure for both the medical and alternative medical systems with all their potions and pills to provide help to the legions of sufferers with IBD, leads us to the inevitable conclusion that their methods fail to address the factors producing these disease states which differ with each person.
Some will say that Inflammatory Bowel Disease is genetic in nature and there is nothing to be done other than submit to pharmaceuticals and surgery. A genetic component is indeed present in some cases but this should not lead to submission to a life of misery and disability. Our genetics predisposes us to develop certain conditions but by altering environmental/nutritional/hygienic influences (“epigenetics”) we can more than compensate for genetic flaws and avoid the dark path of medical intervention and head down the pathway to good health.
The patient with inflammatory bowel disease is more than just a sick colon or small intestine. He or she is sick all over. Identification of causes and the implementation of health building measures is the path that leads to increased vitality and improved function not just mere control of symptoms. The Bio-Hygienic Approach™ works to literally Re-Create the body, to allow for the renewal of health. Administering toxic drugs to patients already exhausted is counterproductive. These patients need health building measures not health destroying ones. They need to build health not “treat’ disease.
Through the Goldberg Bio-Hygienic Re-Creation System™, patients with IBD can improve their health and normalize function. The earlier the right path is taken the more favorable the outcome.
Getting well requires a detailed investigation of causes, the development of a personalized Bio-Hygienic Re-Creation Plan to rebuild the body all accompanied by hard work and perseverance. For the patient who gets on the right path and has the will to get well, the outlook for reversing chronic inflammatory bowel disease and regaining health utilizing the Goldberg Clinic Bio-Hygienic Re-Creation System™ can be a most favorable one.
For over forty-five years we have successfully assisted patients with Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, SIBO, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, GERD and other issues regain their health.
The Goldberg Bio-Hygienic Re-Creation System™ focuses on reversing chronic disease by addressing causal factors and creating the optimal conditions for the individual to be Re-Created™. “Treatments” as commonly utilized, whether standard or alternative, are not employed. We do not treat any form of disease…we build health!
