Food is always best medicine

Ulcerative colitis is ulcers forming mostly in the lower part of the colon (descending colon). Its cause is yet unknown in traditional western medicine, so it is labeled as: an auto-immune disease. Most ulcerative colitis patients had normal healthy lives until they came down with a severe GI tract illness and things were never the same after that. This indicates that ulcerative colitis is most likely caused by an unidentified microbe. Another common factor is that most ulcerative colitis patients ate junk foods especially fatty foods (especially canned lunch meat) for an extended periods of time in their past. Ulcerative colitis sometimes causes severe intestinal bleeding with every bowel movement.

Ulcerative colitis is traditionally treated with pain killers and chemical drugs that do nothing to the root cause of the illness. It is sometimes treated with cortisone which seems to lessen the bleeding temporarily. In advanced stages of the illness, the bleeding portions of the colon are surgically removed. If a large portion of the colon is removed it ends the chance for a natural healing cure of an ulcerative colitis patient.

Crohn's disease is also often treated with pain killers and sometimes with cortisone. This crohn's disease treatment also does nothing to the root cause of the illness.

Ulcerative colitis is an extreme YIN illness (diarrhea, bleeding). The onset of the illness is most likely triggered by a yet unknown microbe. It quickly causes severe diarrhea, and this in turn gradually lowers the body's immunity level and allows the illness to progress.

Crohn's disease is a YANG illness (intestinal blockage, constipation). There is probably a hereditary factor, but it is not the only factor. This factor combined with consuming fatty foods for an extended period of time triggers the illness.

Food is best medicine. Ulcerative colitis can be treated and completely cured with the right diet. Many ulcerative colitis patients have their intestinal bleeding stop after just a few days of following the right diet. This is easy to explain in terms of eastern medicine and YIN-YANG. Bleeding in ulcerative colitis is an extreme YIN condition regardless of the cause. If the proper YANG foods are given, all bleeding wounds in the colon would close and begin to heel in just a few days. There is no chemical drug on earth that can close an open wound, but the right foods can. The right foods will also gradually rebuild the body's immune system and allow it to eliminate any microbial factor that triggered the illness in the first place.

In the page natural antibiotics you will find a comparison between chemical and natural antibiotics regarding effectiveness (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus, etc.), cost, availability and side effects.

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To heel and cure ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease you do not have to eat Japanese foods.

And then macrobiotics will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease.

It is true that food is best medicine for ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease. But some foods heel and cure ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease and some make these conditions worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment, healing and cure of ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have severe adverse side effects on ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease patients when taken randomly or in large doses. We strongly recommend against taking any supplements until the ulcerative colitis patient is completely cured. Vitamin C, which is considered a healthy supplement, is a YIN vitamin and ulcerative colitis is a YIN illnesses. Vitamin C supplements will actually make the illness worse and increase intestinal bleeding. And beware of alleged miracle cures in faraway lands.
