I posted long ago that I took Bee Propolis back in August 30, 2003 and 2 days later, all of my symptoms was gone. I had Crohn's for over 10 years before that. I was in bad shape and in a really bad flare at the time, but since September 1, 2003 I have had NO symptoms of Crohn's at all. I just wanted to update anyone that might have wondered how I've been, like PB4 and RED. :) I'm still doing GREAT. I can eat anything at all, and drink anything at all.

Hi Brian!!

That's great news...very happy for you! Can I ask - where did you get the Bee Propolis??

Thanks!!

It was the brand Twinlabs Bee Propolis in tablet form from vitacost.com. A few years after I bought this, the company Twinlabs quit making it, but they do still make it in liquid form but I don't know if that would have worked as well for me. Since then, I've used several different brands over the years (not that I need to anymore though) but now I am now taking the brand High Desert Bee Propolis in tablet form from iherb.com. I've read that tablet form is better than capsule form because it is processed a lot less than capsule form. The more it's processed, the more good stuff is lost.

Hey Brian, glad you're still doing so well!! Me, not so much, I ended up developing a fistula (RV fistula) and have recently been put on Humira. My rectum is pretty bad off, GI even "threatened" an ostomy if we can't get things under control...I stopped taking bee propolis (the last of what I had) about a month ago now, along with pretty much all the other things listed in my sig except B12 and vitamin A.

Wishing you continued success in fighting this torturing battle of CD.

Hi PB4! I had a perianal cyst a long time ago (before I tried the bee propolis) and had surgery on it and that was no fun and have always wished since then that I would NOT have done that. If I would've just waited at a little while longer, I wouldn't have needed to (because of the bee propolis). I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much problems right now. Why have you stopped taking the bee propolis? I thought it had been helping you a little at least. If you can, PLEASE try the "High Desert Bee Propolis" in TABLET FORM, like I mentioned above. I sincerely believe that BP in tablet form is better. Please try it and if you do, let me know if it helped.

Thank you, Brian!! I will be visiting the websites you mentioned and also visit my local whole foods store...maybe they carry a brand of it I can try. I look forward to some relief soon. :) Take good care!

Thanks, Brian, I often wonder if you're still doing well, and glad that you update once in a while to let us know you are. I was just taking so many things and I was getting so sick that I just "gave up" on everything (besides the b12 and vitamin A) because I was feeling so overwhelmed and figured if I got as sick as I have that all that stuff I was taking obviously wasn't helping me enough if I ended up getting to the point that I'm at. I'll see how things go with the biologics, I may start bee propolis again in the future, if so I will try the one you mentioned above.

Thanks, and take good care...and stay in remission!! LOL!
