Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by ongoing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Unlike irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), IBD involves structural damage and visible inflammation of the intestinal lining. Symptoms often include persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, fatigue, weight loss, and reduced appetite. The exact cause is not fully understood but is believed to involve an abnormal immune response influenced by genetic and environmental factors. IBD typically follows a relapsing-remitting course, with periods of active flare-ups and remission, and may lead to complications such as strictures, fistulas, or an increased risk of colorectal cancer over time.
Over the last 15 years I’ve had recurrent Ileitis
Over the last 15 years I’ve had recurrent Ileitis which is an inflammation of the cecum or ileum of the colon. It causes pain and swelling and I have been advised that it may lead to appendicitis or other severe bowel deterioration. Because I am most leery of antibiotics to treat anything, and having witnessed the repeated failure of antibiotics in Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel in my work as a nurse I started my treatments with Grapefruit seed extract. It would take a few 4 to 6 weeks of treatment to get it under control. I had to repeat treatment every 6 months to a year, as it would resurface. Then I came upon ozone therapy. Ozone applied via funneling the gas over the area worked. It would take about 3 days of treatment with an application once a day to make the symptoms go away, but alas the ozone did cause an itchy rash at the skin site that lasted for days. This treatment had to be done yearly. Then MMS came my way. I found that 4 or 5 drops of MMS activated taken twice a day would get rid of all symptoms in 2 to 4 days. I’ve had to repeat treatment about once every three years which is a considerable improvement over the other treatments. I just had a recent bout with it and this time I’m going to treat for 3 weeks and see if I can keep it away longer.
