Humic acid CURE?

Thanks for sharing your story.

another miraculously cured new member :)

I think you're being a little hasty in your assessment ewa -

OP neglected to mention that he/she has "Eosinophilic colitis"

My history (as brief as possible):
diagnosed with eosinophilic colitis (basically UC as far as I can tell) Aug 2012
doctors next to useless in my view (maybe i just got the short straw)
no western meds (trying my hardest to avoid this route)
fasting, SCD, vegan diets to get flares under control (mostly effective but flaring right now)
been experimenting with various natural anti-inflammatories/gut healing remedies: tumeric, l-glutamine, butyric acid, slippery elm, aloe vera, boswellia... the list goes on.. maybe they help, maybe they don't??

Yeah..., i'll have my gun ready if anyone else shouts cured.


@forum admin please add "cure" and "cured" keywords to the forum's spam filter bot.

I guess I will make a comment or two.
With this disease who knows,MAP is a slow grower and lives in cells,perhaps if you feed it and it grows faster then the immune system can find it and kill it,or the humic acid can stimulate autophagy,
or MAP has nothing to do with it and some other mechanism is taking place.
MAP is quite difficult to kill, wild animals have it and you would think that their immune systems
are in top notch shape.

My apologies!

'CURED' in the title has obviously caused an upset.. it was more of a question (?).. not meant to be a statement as such.

I am in no way rushing to conclusions here, just simply enjoying this period of normality... Simple pleasures, like having energy to go out in the garden, lift up my daughters and show them that I am genuinely happy to be alive.. Made me want to share my experience with others that might understand..

i do feel fortunate. I clearly have a mild case of UC (Note that my previous diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis (diagnosed in Thailand) was rejected by UK doctors. Now have a differential diagnosis of UC/proctitis, like my older brother who has suffered much worse than me for 15 years+. I see much, much worse stories than mine and sincerely wish others a means to finding a successful way of managing their condition.

Anyway, very glad that i hadn't read that article posted by Mike before I tried the humic acid. Probably wouldn't have even bothered searching for the stuff if I had!

Miraculous it may be. Even more so with this evidence to support it's supposed opposite effect. But something has shifted in me. I would like to believe that the humic acid has killed off a mycobacterium responsible for my colitis, or that it has somehow kicked off an immune response that has dealt with the 'bug'.. or maybe, as Mike says, it has nothing to do with MAP and there is something else at work here.. well, after 2 years of suffering, i'm just very happy to have found something that worked.

I will emphasise the importance of correct food combining though. I know that has been critical to my success.

Perhaps I won't submit such a positive post in future.. So, hopefully then, I won't need to write again here..

can make macrophages die,that is where MAP lives.

can inhibit MAP biofilm,finding on sauna walls and city water pipes

Don't take DB's word to heart. Whoever he/she is prefers to point out any and every little personality trait that they deem a flaw, as if we aren't humans with emotions.

In reference to people upset about the word "cured", also do not take those comments to heart. Sometimes new posters come on here and make one post, saying how they have cured their disease and it was so easy and obvious. Some of those posts are very conceited, and would warrant the spam designation.

I think your post is just fine from judging the context of your posts as a whole. Perhaps next time just say something like "This seems to be really working, what do you think?".

Anyways, don't worry, be happy. :) Glad you're feeling well!

thanks, and advice on subject taken on board

what is humic acid lol

Hi Kevin

my protocol is as follows:

1 teaspoon of complex minerals (contains humic acid) taken with about 1 finger-width of fresh aloe vera leaf (filleted)

This i take twice a day just before food or about half an hour after food (morning and evening)

This is where i get the complex minerals http://www.naturalhealthorganics.com.au/reach-for-life-complex-minerals-xxl-250ml.html

I've also got myself some humic acid as powder from a reliable source in the US. This is much cheaper and more convenient if traveling about.

IN the evening I take half a teaspoon of psyllium husk with the humic acid.

Other variables include:

- correct food combining (can look it up on the internet) - pretty strict about this and i'm sure it helps as it got me to a much better place before I even took the humic acid.

- i eat plenty of sauerkraut and other homemade probiotics (i shave slowly built this up so i now have 2 good size portions each day)

- no snacking in the day and no food after 7pm

- work less, stress less

still doing well.. (no symptoms and putting on some weight finally!!)
