Putting Colitis Into Remission – Pat’s Details

Is it okay to take this while on Humira?
I am similar in the sense that I am on Humira with only a little change.

Pat! Great story man! Sounds like you really were hit hard with some serious stuff! So glad you are doing better! I’m really going to look into that stuff! We all appreciate any thing that can help with this crazy disease!
Adam, once again much appreciated for all the stories you put on here!
Best,
Johnny Drama

This is inspirational. I hope you continue to do well Pat! Xx

Arbinogalactan is what the cell surface of the T.B ( Mycobacterium tuberculosis ) bacteria is made of, responsible for johne’s disease. Obviously it needs the sugar arabinose to make its skin. Apparently johne’s disease which infects animals but supposedly not humans even tho i’v read 100 yo books about farmers catching it and explaining it right down to the cellular level with pictures and such, as well as pubmed research showing humans do get it. Its in dairy products and meat. Its T.B and its some what controlled in animal populations by execution, disinfecting everything and removal of top soil. What the johne’s diseased animals diet is greatly increases how long it lives but it will infect other animals so execution is the method of control but it hasn’t stopped it from spreading all over the world where intensive farming is practiced. The first foods a child in the western worlds receives are cows milk and a rusk ( wheat ) , the cows milk has T.B in it and a chemical in wheat causes intestinal permeability ( Leaky Gut ) so the bacteria are free to infect the intestines, which reside in our immune cells ( macrophages ) so is hard to be killed by the immune system, like AIDS because its a virus that lives in the immune cells but this one is a bacteria. Paratuberculosis or Johne’s disease is a contagious, chronic, sometimes fatal infection. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. Explanation copied from wikipedia . MAP is 99 percent genetically related to Mycobacterium avium, but has different phenotypic characteristics such as:
– slower growth,
-requires the addition of an iron transport chemical known as mycobactin when grown in vitro (outside the body)
– forms a rough colony when grown on a solid agar medium, and
– Infects mammals instead of birds.
In cattle, the main signs of paratuberculosis are diarrhea and wasting. The initial signs can be subtle. Animals are most susceptible to the infection in the first year of life. Animals exposed at an older age, or exposed to a very small dose of bacteria at a young age, are not likely to develop clinical disease until they are much older than two years. Signs are rarely evident until two or more years after the initial infection, which usually occurs shortly after birth. Newborns most often become infected by swallowing small amounts of infected manure from the birthing environment or udder of the mother, may become infected while in the uterus or by swallowing bacteria passed in milk and colostrum. Several weeks after the onset of diarrhea, a soft swelling may occur under the jaw. Known as “bottle jaw” or intermandibular edema, this symptom is due to protein loss from the bloodstream into the digestive tract. Paratuberculosis is progressive; affected animals become increasingly emaciated and usually die as the result of dehydration and severe cachexia ( is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and significant loss of appetite). The primary site targeted by Johne’s disease is the lower part of the intestine known as the ileum. The wall of the ileum contains a large number of pockets of lymphoid tissue known as Peyer’s patches that lie just beneath the interior surface of the intestine. Peyer’s patches are clusters of macrophages and lymphocytes that are organized much like lymph nodes. Covering Peyer’s patches are a layer of cells called M cells. These cells function to sample the content of the lumen of the intestines and pass antigens (bacteria) through to the underlying cells of the Peyer’s patch to “show” these antigens to the macrophages and lymphocytes. This is a means of “educating” the cells in a young animal about its environment, and is a protective mechanism designed to help the animal become immune to pathogens in its environment. When M cells bring M. paratuberculosis to the Peyer’s patch, the bacteria find an ideal place for growth. Macrophages in Peyer’s patches engulf M. paratuberculosis for the purpose of destroying the foreign invader. Inside a macrophage, M. paratuberculosis multiplies until it eventually kills the cell, spreads and infects other nearby cells. In time, other parts of the ileum and other regions of the body are teaming with millions of the mycobacteria.The unusually resistant cell wall of mycobacteria plays an important role.The immune system reacts to the M. paratuberculosis invasion by recruiting more macrophages and lymphocytes to the site of the infection. The lymphocytes release a variety of chemicals signals, called cytokines, in an attempt to increase the bacterial killing power of the macrophages. Macrophages fuse together, forming large cells, called multinucleated giant cells, in an apparent attempt to kill the mycobacteria. Infiltration of infected tissues with millions of lymphocytes and macrophages leads to visible thickening of the intestines. This prevents nutrient absorption, and diarrhea results. Late in the infection, antibody production by the animal occurs to M. paratuberculosis in serum of animals, and is an indicator that clinical signs of disease and death from the infection will soon follow. For goats infected with this disease, the most apparent sign of having it is their body wasting away, even with a sufficient diet. If a goat develops Johne’s and it has diarrhea, it is most likely going to die. When it has diarrhea, the goat is at the last stages of the disease. only a minority of the animals develops clinical signs; most animals either eliminate the infection or become asymptomatic carriers. The mortality rate is approximately 1%, but up to 50% of the animals in the herd can be asymptomatically infected. Once the symptoms appear, paratuberculosis is progressive and affected animals eventually die. The percentage of asymptomatic carriers that develops overt disease is unknown. Despite its pervasiveness and its ability to severely impact milk production and destroy whole herds of cattle, Johne’s disease remains an industry problem that is not openly discussed. In an article entitled “Johne’s Disease: a Dairy Industry Perspective,” Johne’s is described as “Something that farmers talk about secretly–whisper behind hands.” One dairy scientist stated that in all his years he had never heard an open, frank discussion of Johne’s disease and calls for end of the “whispering campaign.” Dairy farmers try to hide the fact that they have the disease in their dairy herds. As an article in Cornell Veterinarian notes, “Farmers prefer not to acknowledge its presence and enshroud suspect cases with secrecy.” It is a problem that is kept out of sight and out of mind. As one dairy farmer put it “It’s [Johne’s] a dirty word. It’s like AIDS–you don’t talk about it.” . This conspiracy of silence extends beyond the producers to encompass the entire industry to the point of interfering with scientific dialogue. From the Journal of Dairy Science: “Fear of consumer reaction… can impede rational open discussion of scientific studies.” Without doubt, says Chiodini “the dairy and regulatory industries are concerned vocally… but their concern is limited to the possibility of ‘bad press’ to the industry rather than a concern for the truth or public health.” . Over a century after the disease was identified, almost half of all dairy farmers nationally surveyed by the USDA didn’t know anything about the disease. And those with the largest herds—the herds most likely to be infected—were found least likely to have known of the disease.

Another great proof of how individual UC is and you just never know what might work for you!
It sounds similar to Cat’s claw which is also on the natural remedy list with lgutamine, boswellia and a few others.
Thanks Adam and Pat!

Clindamyacin has done me in twice now. The only 2 flares I’ve ever had have happened 3 months after taking it. Never again.
Glad you found your way through it. Hear you on the stress front. Huge factor for me too. I’m all over making lemons out of lemonade these days. Laugh as often as you can, and smile just as much (it tricks your brain!)
Best, best.

Hello Pat,
I am wondering if you can tell us the name of the Naturopath Doctor you saw. After 3 years of my daughter “managing” her UC with diet and probiotics, we are still searching for a doctor who will actually take her complaints seriously and help us identify what to do.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am curious about the doctor you saw in Philly. It wasn’t Mark Osterman was it?

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad that you’re doing well!

My daughter’s Gastro emphasized to stay away from Clyndamiacin. Now I know why.

Would you mind sharing the name of the dr. in Philadelphia?

Can you take a pre-biotic and a pro-biotic at the same time?

I ate only banana and bread – the one with out – but is still a mix of all kinds of crap, at $1.60 a kilo , it probably the cheapest food there is. Banana’s were $2 a kilo. So saved heaps of money.
Well no pain , which i was suspecting anyway because of the opiod peptides in the bread, even if damage was being done, i wouldn’t feel it, until it gets real bad.
Farted so much, i could power the space shuttle.
Stayed on the diet for a week and it’s mind blowing just how much gas was produced, pretty much non stop and huge amounts.
In the courses i done , they said certain carbohydrates cant be digested by humans.
I was eating prunes, banana, mixed berries. I put the berries through a juicer to remove the seeds and the put it through a strainer.
Explosive diarrhea was the result. I stuck with the diet for a week but was chained to the toilet . It felt good to be flushed out tho. So i ended the diet with prunes and seeing tho i invested buying a whole box of them it was heart braking nobody wanted them and went in the bin. Everybody said it gives them diarrhea. A quick look and top suspect is the sugar sorbitol, which they add to products as a sugar replacement and is in certain foods including prunes naturally. More research revealed the plum used has being genetically modified , though artificial breeding to be high in it as pesticide .
More research revealed that higher amounts of glucose , reduce this problem and thats what happens naturally in nature. As it rippens, those types of sugars drop dramatically and glucose replaces it . Many types of glucose compounds which is classed in the very broad name called fibre.
To date the best i have achieved with diet has being fruit, with the exclusion of any with tropane alkaloids , tropans are an immediate horrible inducer of inflammatory bowel disease in me, the single worse i’v come across. 1 tiny piece of tomato, just hidden in some thing like a can of tuna and BAM !!! , i’m in agony for weeks. At first i though was just solanine and took me along time to find out what did and didn’t have it in it, but that grew to all tropanes, which were the same plants but the artificial ones and recreational drugs included , hence the need for the name tropane, even tho they all really just the same type of chemical. They are pesticides.
I drunk only fruit juice , making sure to remove all seeds and not the skin, which is covered in these pesticides and not the ones with tropanes .
I thought i was cured , no pain , just try holding me back from doing anything, everybody calls me lazy and stuff, nothing but stress inducing arseholes. I keep telling them its massive fatigue from something happening in my guts, my immune system is in a massive war and its sucking the life out of me. But they are arseholes. All of a sudden i was making them look like lazy pricks and dam did i be an arsehole about too. 10 years of horror and now i make them look like i was and i showed every body the kindness they showed me all those years, none.
One big problem tho my mind was getting worse and i was getting back pain. It was easy to clear stomach out just by stop drinking the fresh home made juice and over a few days, it vanishes. Drink it again comes back . Took me ages to figure out its another class of pesticides called silicates. Including the artificial versions , the neonic pesticides which are being blamed by many for killing all the bee’s. I stared dating, got a job and was going to collage, that all come crashing to an end because of server mental problems and crippling spinal pain. When i was driving up the highway on the wrong side of the road and people were screaming etc. I realized , inflammatory bowel disease is maybe a better option, as hard a decision as that was, at first i though wasn’t going to come back , but it did. I used to love dairy but i couldn’t stand the smell and tast of it now, and the same with meat, the best i could do was raw fresh salmon, that one meal brought back inflammatory bowel disease and the horrible pain, which over a week turned in to horrific pain and i had forgotten just how much pain i could bare all those years, it was very hard not to do any drugs. I’d put a youtube video on loud, for weight lifters and extreme sports man of a couch yelling at them and this would help me and also drown out the uncontrollable sounds of agony id be making to disturb the neighbors less.
After a while i realize the cause is pesticides and flesh eating bacteria. I got a letter from the grave at that time too, from my grandfather who had passed away in the earlier years of when i got sick . It was a no no talk about anybodies health and i was physically attacked any time asked anybodies health. He told me a bit about his life, which including life long disentry he caught in world war two when he was put in a sweet box for a week, after the had nightmares his brother was going to die and went and found him, he died the next day in battle. He said it was exactly like in his dreams. My grandfather did not drink or anything like that and at periods of R & R he would spend his time at religious sites. He met my grand mother of the Walfs during world war two at home as a Japanese submarines had stormed the harbor as they were just leaving for the war and she ran down as rumors spread he had being killed , my grandfather was punished for helping her, when the ship left, it sat around doing nothing and they were told it be two days, he jumped ship and helped my gandmother find his brother and then swam back to the ship with was miles out in the ocean with a bottle of wine, this is why he was his was not thrown in jail. He did not drink. As fate would have it my grandmother became a war nurse and he ended up her patient. And fate again , as the war went on , her brother and my grandfather were in the same unit after massive losses and trying to get a unit together. All this stuff i did not know and my grandparents are deeply religious, too much has happened in their lifes to think anything is a coincidence. The gut disease was always a big problem for him and lady luck again, they manged to have a pretty good life. He was told by military doctor to quit his job and work out out doors. The job he fought so hard for he quit. He said the doctor was right he felt better. bush walking and out door activities were always apart of his life from then one. He never told me any of this stuff, but i guess it was normal to me.
Remembering back at my own life, i realize now , i got this disease when healthy food was no longer available and city expansion had turned the place in to a concrete jungle. I used to eat fruit strait from wild trees. But they were deemed a threat to farms profits and all fruit trees , regardless of what they were or where they are , were killed. A decade later the federal government built a dooms day bunker and put what was left in it. Its major tourist attraction. I wans;t allowed in to he dooms day dunker it self , but it was obvious there was next to nothing got put in to it, too little too late. So the place has being busy and becoming a continent one, but i dont think they found much left and is becoming a major world one. Alot of money is being spent at this place and its always busy with workers.
I’v being trying to save some plants my self. The reason is , local governments are spraying pesticides everywhere and the natural plants die and go extinct. As well as fire.

To use the word pesticide in its proper and full meaning – modern medicine uses nothing but pesticides and parts of our own bodies are considered pest. I ditched the doctors and moved . Moving was very hard, because every where was pretty much the same, if not worse.

I found alot of stuff is just a full on lie and just public relations propaganda. Such as this countries fresh food industry, only a small amount a retailers control the whole market as the middle man. Not business can exist with out be owned by them few corporations, who have massive investments in the medical industry. I’v noticed now too, most shopping centers , the center isles , which are the ones walk strait in to , are all pills. 4 entire isles of the shopping centers around here are pills . Using the word drug in its true meaning – the shopping centers have replaced half the food products on its selfs with drugs, instead of food.

Win win for them , and win win for the economy. What ever makes more money is going to become all our reality, if we like it or not.

Fresh oranges used to be one of my safe foods, but then Californian oranges replaced all but one other source of them. That source was replaced too by another one and i have not seen anything but a off green orange since. There was one processed juice from Mexico, 100 percent orange, it was a safe food for me as well and incredibly cheap. That was removed, became there top seller as the people who knew me started to buy it too and the people they new etc. They replaced it with stuff worth 10x more and full of additives and reconstituted. The whole lot of it makes me sick. Even the pure orange juice , i dont know what they they do to it but gives me bad indigestion and i cant even force it down.

I moved to a vegetable diet, but the ones with out the class of pesticides i mentioned are few and its blanned. My health got up to about 50%, which is ok , i can live a normal life with that, but theres no way i can live off such a limed amount and type of that food. Takes ages as well to build up microbiome and so easily be lost . It makes it harder that the work i have to do is hardcore physical, long hours and in places with out access to fresh vegetables. So yet again after getting shit together ended up in disaster as i was forced to eat mc donnalds and drink lots of coffee. Took me 3 months before i could get out of bed and stop crapping my self.

I’v being at war with retailers now for god knows how long. This is all i do now. A prisoner trapped. I know heaps of people suffering and dieing too which makes it more of a burden to bare.
When i look at expert advice they keep going on about genetics and ignore all other proven or highly suspected causes. They also completely ignore epigenetic’s, which controls genetics and can be controlled by avoiding toxins and changing diet , the only problems is , the food is a nightmare. The more i learn about it, the more corruption i find. I know so much about i’m thinking about going in to economics or becoming an expert in non cooperative game theory.
More and more people are waking up to just how corrupt the food industry is. Turned the bare necessity of life in to a nightmare.
