RE: A Necessary Evil
Oh my goodness I am open to all ideas. First, you might benefit from reading this, one of my earliest posts.. https://steemit.com/health/@owasco/heal-yourself-of-crohn-s-disease
My son is now 23 and was diagnosed at age eight. He was prescribed bucket loads of prednisone (among many many other drugs) as a child and young adult until he could no longer walk from back weakness and pain. He has been bed bound for four years now and getting peri-anal abscesses as a result of laying in bed so much (biopsies taken during surgery showed that these are NOT Crohn's related!) and was treated for one of these with augmentin in October. C-diff loves augmentin apparently and now we are struggling with that. I fear all this has triggered the Crohn's; many biopsies were done during his recent hospital stay- I have to remember to call the GI and see what those results were.
We know of and have employed a lot of alternative remedies over the years. I think you will find me knowledgeable. I'll put anything in a gel cap, but when they are packed with ground herbs, he has trouble. A big question I have now is should I be giving him probiotics while we are treating the c-diff with substances that kill probiotics? Die off is a big problem for him. He's willing to suffer some if there's a pay off.
My gratitude for any help you can give. Are you on discord Naturalmedicine? Might be better to move to pm conversation there.
I am not on natural medicine discord...funny, I never thought of it, but I'm on the ecotrain. I'd love an invitation for the nm discord though :) My user name on discord is @misslasvegas#6566
I'm very new in these parts! I don't know how to invite anyone! but I'll check it out. My email is cretekos at hotmail dot com.
Thought you might be interested in this: https://www.thesilveredge.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/BYU_study.pdf I'll work on getting you an ivite to naturalmedicine discord today.
Oh, this looks interesting. A bit too much to get through in an hour though, so I am keeping this in my 'to-do' list. Yes, please do, or I can ask @riverflows if it doesn't work out. I'll try to send you a dm soon, have some stuff going on here that I need to deal with first, but hope to talk to you soon.
love riverflows. she is much more equipped and connected to get things done than I.
