solution the "new" word for "cure'!!

I am so tired of those out there, ready to pounce on unsuspecting individuals. Don"t you people realize that most
of us are so sick, and the last thing we want to hear is a bunch of "mumbo jumbo" Don't you think our doctors would
let us suffer needlessly, as part of the hypocratic oath says "first do no harm", if there was a 'solution' they would have
used it by now.

So thanks moderators, for doing such a good job!!!!

dunny2, I completely agree with you about "solution" being the new word for "cure."  Then they can (and do) say that they never said their product would "cure" Crohn's.  To me, saying you have a "solution" to an incurable disease is basically the same thing.  And yes, thanks moderators for getting rid of the junk that will be a waste of our time.  It makes me mad to have someone use my illness and my...don't want to use the word desperation...strong desire for relief for their own financial gain.  I can say that in the several months I've been on here, I haven't had to deal with many of those people, thanks to the moderators and the other members.  Thanks everyone for looking out for each other and for offering support...sometimes, you all are the only ones who really understand.  Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend. 

I with you all on this "quit trying to make a quick dollar on us we have enough problems with our health"
So take a hike you people with your juice cures lol!!! We heard it all..
Thanks from me Forum Moderator for keeping them out.

Unfortunately there are a lot people out there wanting to take advantage of those who are desparate for answers, and relief. People selling "snake oil" cures have been around for hundreds of years. So this is nothing new, just the addition of the internet provides a new way to prey on people.

That's not saying all natural treatments are snake oil. But you really need to do your research, AND talk to your doctor first.

A lot of things haven't really been proven either way IMO either. Look at the fish oil. I just read a study the other day, now they are saying it didn't help people with Crohn's. So it's just important to keep your doctor in the loop, and do your reading! Because not only could you lose your money, but it can be down right dangerous for your health too!

I agree with Jen.... I think people like us... with Crohn's disease... or other autoimmune diseases... need to be especially careful when trying such things, too... I mean, we're already sick... and... someone here said they don't like the word desperate... but... that's very accurate for a lot of people... I know it's very accurate for me... :(... Despite feeling this way, though, I try to keep vigilant... because I don't want to end up taking something... and then getting worse...


I don't think any one food or juice would ever be significant enough to actually cure Crohn's... I think some foods and juices might help someone with Crohn's feel a little better, though... Like... some yogurts, perhaps... And then... Just ordinary, easy digestible comfort foods...


I've heard that papaya juice has digestive enzymes in it... So, that could possibly help someone feel a little better... *I haven't tried it myself... I'd like to get my hands on some... because I really like juice... and if it helps with digestion, that's a bonus...*

The supplement form of digestive enzymes do help alot of IBDers, luckily I can eat the natural ones, pineapples, papayas, kiwis and mangos are tolerable and very effective for me when eaten after meals, they help break food down in the digestive tract so your system doesn't have to work as hard...others have issues with eating these fruits, some do well with their juices...it's trial and error for all.

:)

Yeah... The whole papaya juice thing was recommended to me by a friend... And he wasn't pushing it off as a cure or anything... He just said it had digestive enzymes in it... and that it might help.... And any little extra help I can get, I'm willing to go for that... Plus, as I said... I like juice... And juice is generally good for you, anyway... what with the vitamins and all... :)....


*Have to be careful about drinking too much citrus fruit juice, though... it can bother me sometimes... a little bit every now and then is okay... but if I drink too much at one time... man... //@.@\\'...*

Ehh... My problem is that it starts burning my throat really bad... Think maybe it causes some acid reflux or somethin'.... (Not a common problem for me, but it occurs every once in a while...)... Sometimes, causes burning pains for my tummy, too...


But that's only if I drink too much... like I said... a little now and then doesn't bother me...

Interesting thread. OK here is my beef -- why can't miracle cures taste wonderful?? My preference for a miracle cure would be that I HAD to eat a handful of scrumptious cookies at least twice a day (more would be better). Or maybe at least once a week I had to eat a delicious steak (I do love cow), corn on the cob dripping with butter, all followed by an ice cream sundae. Yum!!! "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down....."

Wow!!! I'm soooo glad they told me that. Me too stew-pid to no. Gess I need to by d'eir miracle cure too.

Thanks Dunny. Sniper,:)! Fall Colors I can take some cheesecake meds. Love the idea!

Fitzy I have found that on good day sometimes food processed and then juiced spinach is cool (granted there is d, but not a tremendous amount of blood, no more then normal). I have end up food processing and then juicing a lot of stuff.

I have a problem when we have newbies that see this whatever juice as the cure to their symptoms. Main thing is do your research, and do whatever you feel is best. This is a highly individualized disease. The big problem is when people are trying to sell something.

I think it's unfortunate that so many people on here are demonizing profit motive.  That's a powerful force that may eventually bring about a cure for these diseases (despite the fact that now it seems like the profit motive is pushing pharma companies to make drugs you take every day instead of a one-and-done cure).  And there's a lot more to medical research than you may think.  There are a lot of political forces behind what gets published and even the structure of studies is now being seriously questioned (i.e. randomized controlled trials will no longer be the ideal study to run). 

The bottom line is that big results require big changes.  An herb or supplement will unlikely bring about a significant change, though it may help somewhat.  Changing your diet around drastically and continuing it for several years may be the answer for some.  It's a fact that there are people who no longer experience symptoms of this disease and they all figured their own way out, but the vast majority of such people were on a diet of some sort. 

dunny2- do you mind elaborating- what made you feel this way? Which late night infomercial? Or was it an online link? Just curious.
