I have never heard of it used for Crohn's disease but if I ever needed it for the purpose it is usually prescribed I would use the Crohn's disease as my excuse now.

i would agree with the benefit from increased circulation and would place it in the realm of having a dilator type medicine to send blood to a strictured area. in theory.

Well if you think about it, every RX used for IBD is actually a cross-over drug that was initially designed for some other health issue than IBD...there is no actual RX med out their specifically for IBD.

I am curious to find if any one has been on it for original use and then had relief of CD symptoms. I found the info and thought some one here might know something about it.

I am not sure that my boyfriend could be trusted with it in the house, male curiosity and all...

Jesse's girl, there have probably been people that found the benefit for their CD without originally being prescribed for that but you will never get them to admit it. I love the comment about your boyfriend not being trusted, too funny. This is a very uplifting medication. Sorry

I've recently read of a NIH sponsored clinical tiral for a statin for COPD. Simvatat? I think was the drug mentioned. The theory is that the statins have anti-inflammatory properties and the simvastat or whatever the name is is one off patent and thus has generics avaiable making it economcally feasible for a clinical trial.

Thankyou for your reply, however I will look this drug up on google to see if it could help me.

IAny one have any other ideas on taking natural products to help heal the chronic infalmmatin?

What about vitamin D 3 I have been taking it for a few weeks now, but have not noticed anything too much as yet.
