I'm healed from my UC! At least the past few weeks with sarsaparilla

Just wanted to share what I have experienced for anyone who wants to know.

Hello I am 32 and have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis since I was 27, and I have discovered through learning about health cures that sarsaparilla is a cure that I have experienced for my ulcerative colitis. I have been taking it now for just about three weeks and I definitely have little to no symptoms after experiencing flaring and anemia pretty bad that caused me to pass out back in January. I am totally ok now, after recovering but after taking this sarsaparilla I am symptom free. The few symptoms I had (blood, urgency, diarrhea) were after eating certain foods that I know affected me. Like milk, soy products, beef/pork, and also alcohol if I drink too much. I also have noticed that if I stress about stuff (I started getting a feeling of symptoms before a test I had to take last week) it can bring on symptoms, but not to the point where I have any flaring. After a few days of taking sarsaparilla consistently, my bm's were mostly formed with little blood, and the past week or so I have been having fully formed bm's with no blood at all and no urgency, and no abdominal pain! I waited until now to really be convinced but I still have 0 symptoms so I have to say sarsaparilla is the reason. I have also stopped talking my prescribed iron (all iron in stores is ferrous iron, which is the metal form of iron and is not natural, thus not optimal for the body) and I still have no issues.

I have not been on here for a while so if this information has been posted before I apologize. And I also say 'a' cure and not 'the' cure cuz I understand that we all have different bodies and reactions, based on medications we take, I was taking sulfasalazine for years now but I stopped after recognizing the benefits it had on my body. But besides that, I cannot comment 100% that it doesn't create any side effects to any medications. But I would highly recommend anyone who hasn't heard of this to find a health store (or herbal/essential oil store if you know of one in your area) and get the most natural form of it you can possibly get. I really believe in this stuff, it technically says that it's used in root beer, but I'm sure that's synthetic and not as beneficial for the body. Natural sarsaparilla has natural iron in it, an element that is needed for everyone in America, in my opinion. It has cured my anemia and my uc. Hope this information helps anyone out there, I will post periodic updates to inform people of my progress.

I'm just putting the information out to anyone concerned, I don't need a dictionary to tell me what cure means :D

What kind of sasparilla? Powder, liquid? Glad you've found some relief. Can you point me to the specific product you're using on Amazon or something? Thanks.

The specific product I am taking is from Solaray they come in capsules, I got it at a local health food store. There is not really any way to take too much of it, I am taking two capsules in the am and
two in the pm.

http://www.amazon.com/Solaray-Sarsaparilla/dp/B00H58BSSS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427268889&sr=8-2&keywords=solaray+sarsaparilla

There is a picture on Amazon but apparently it's unavailable. It has nothing added to it, or anything like that.

And yes I'm guilty as charged, ignoranus :D Nice!

"And yes I'm guilty as charged, ignoranus :D Nice!"


oh, i wasn't referring to you y man -

thanks for the tip - i'll check solaray -

I knew sarsaparilla sounded familiar!

Yavw, I'm glad you found something that works for you. Some of the hostility you're getting in this post comes down to mere semantics. Uc is an incurable disease, and you used cure in the topic heading and body. It's much better to say you've reached remission (an absence of uc symptoms) or you've healed thanks to a specific treatment. Otherwise, the townsfolk here get all rilled up and go for the pitchforks and torches

Play nice people. As otherwise this thread is getting locked, if it's a just a big contest of who is an idiot. Here's your chance to turn it around...

I get why people hate the word cure but geez it's not that big a deal. Let the OP tell what worked for him. Who cares if he said he's cured. I would hope people who have the disease are aware that they can flare at any time. Maybe what he or she posted about could help someone else.

All I can do is lead a horse to water, can't make em drink...all I gotta say about that! And that's exactly my perspective that byebyeuc has on the word cure. I'm not trying to argue or put out any kind of negative energy, just putting information out there to anyone who wants to take the information into consideration and/or action.

HAHA Good one!

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES AND CLINICAL RESEARCH

Clinical research has validated the traditional use of sarsaparilla for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, and leprosy. In 1942, it was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine to improve the condition of psoriasis dramatically. There the results of a clinical study with 92 patients was detailed which reported that it improved psoriasis lesions in 62% of cases and completely cleared lesions in 18% of cases. One of the possible mechanisms of action in psoriasis is sarsaparilla's blood cleansing properties. Individuals with psoriasis have been found to have high levels of endotoxins circulating in the bloodstream (endotoxins are cell wall fragments of normal gut bacteria). Sarsaponin, one of sarsaparilla's main steriods, was found to bind to these endotoxins and remove them, thus improving psoriasis.

This endotoxin-binding action is probably why the root has been used for centuries as a "blood purifier." Other health conditions associated with high endotoxin levels include eczema, arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Sarsaparilla's effective use in the treatment of leprosy has been documented in a 1959 human trial.

Wow that's all interesting stuff...I didn't even know about research that's been done or anything like that. I literally only have information from watching Dr Sebi videos. That's it! And I took a personal leap of faith that what he talks about is logical and sounds true. My thinking as to why sarsaparilla has not been discussed as much despite all the benefits it has, is cuz natural iron is the healing mechanism. That's it, Dr Sebi talks about how all foods and even vitamins and supplements are synthetic, for one cuz that is easier for companies to mass produce at a cheaper cost, and for two because corporations/the top people in the world who run stuff do not want the general public to know how much more effective natural iron is from synthetic. If all people knew how bad they were getting screwed by stores selling them synthetic stuff, there would be a paradigm shift that would cause most supermarkets to lose millions and also the faith that people put in companies would be destroyed. That's my take on it, after hearing the story that Dr Sebi talks about that happened to him back in the 80's, there are no limits that companies would take to keep their profit line going. All corruption is motivated by money unfortunately.

So anyways off my soap box, I will give more information as to my personal history with UC. I was a truck driver when I first started getting symptoms, about 5 or 6 years ago (sorry don't remember specifically, it was probably around 6 moths before joining this site). At first it was just really bad abdominal pain and eventually it was accompanied by urgency and blood in my stool. I got to the point where I was getting diarrhea and going up to 10 x's a day, sometimes just mucus and blood was all that made me have to go. So then I scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because I was doing the man thing and acting like everything was cool but I knew it wasn't, I told him my symptoms and he did a colonoscopy and it was shown that I had pancolitis, all the way through the large intestines. At that time I was prescribed prednisone and asacol for like six weeks and then just the asacol. It worked perfectly until I maxed out on my insurance coverage and I couldn't afford it.

I eventually started getting symptoms again and then was prescribed sulfasalazine, which also worked out (thankfully, I have a cousin who has UC that didn't respond to the medication, and I've heard on here about people who don't respond to meds, which must be terrible). I've had short term remissions during the time I wasn't on meds, taking my own journey to find a treatment that works, cuz honestly I wasn't trying to be on medication for life! I tried a bunch of different probiotics, some worked better than others, and modifying my diet which also seemed to help to a degree, but sulfasalazine was the only thing that worked and also wasn't too expensive (though it turns your pee yellow and lowers sperm count, which is also no bueno) :D

so I was trying out different things, and then stopping the sulfasalazine to see what helps. Then about a year ago, I stopped taking it altogether again cuz I was taking a good blend of probiotics which really helped, but didn't eliminate the symptoms, it was just enough to where I could manage. I would have diarrhea maybe 50%f my bm's, but I was only going up to 2-3 times a day. And I would have blood most of the time, sometimes bad sometimes not. My stool was also "broken up" when it was formed (I don't mind being graphic) like it was formed but it would be short pieces of formed stool. I also would get light headed and have low energy at times, which I'm sure was anemia but I wasn't officially diagnosed until January of this year, when I apparently passed out. I was standing for a long time (which I'm sure contributed because I already had a low blood count which I found out at the hospital) hanging out with friends and the next thing I remember was being on the ground and people saying "are you ok?" and I had a bad headache (that was from banging my head from the fall) so I went to the ER and they treated the head injury and said my blood was very low. I don't even remember if I had a transfusion or not, but I do remember telling them I have UC and I actively had blood when I go and they determined that must have been the issue.

Then in February I had an appt with a GI doc (I wasn't a truck driver anymore and didn't have insurance until I signed up for state insurance which was required starting this year, that was partly why I wasn't taking meds as well as I wasn't crazy about it either) and had another colonoscopy and it was proven that I had moderate ulceration and was prescribed ferrous glucinate and sulfasalazine.

So I was simultaneously (starting around the end of last year) also learning about natural cures using herbs, and came across Dr Sebi and the information he has. He is a very fascinating guy, doesn't read books, nor went to school! But he had a mother who had ancient knowledge of nature, and how we are electric, and thus we need electric foods to be of optimal health. There are tons of youtube videos regarding what he talks about, if anyone is interested I'd recommend checking it out. So that's all I will say about his life, or journey to health treatments/cures.

But, regarding sarsaparilla, what was intriguing to me is that natural iron seemed like something that would REALLY benefit me, at least my anemia, I actually didn't expect it to fix my UC issues. So I found the kind I've been taking, and based on what is logical, and the info Dr Sebi has shared with the world (although it's suppressed info), it should really help me overall.

I didn't officially document when I started taking it, but it's been since around the start of this month. I gradually noticed that I had like double the energy I used to have, and my UC symptoms of broken up stool and blood and diarrhea at times, completely disappeared! I was going like before I had any symptoms. I was actually very surprised and thought maybe it was just a combination of probiotics, ferrous iron, sulfasalazine and diet modification, so I challenged that theory. I flat out stopped taking the iron and meds, but continued with the diet changes (regarding diet changes, I cut out red meat and soy products, and also just became more conscious of the monosodium glutamate and high fructose corn syrup, that kind of stuff which are just two of a laundry list of things that affect the natural flow of the body's processes). I stopped about 2 weeks ago, and the symptoms stayed gone...except for a couple different times where I had blood along with less formed stools following overeating of meats, which I also believe contributes to my symptoms. Once my body "purged" itself of the junk I put in, the symptoms went away again. I'm going once a day as of currently, with one healthy fully formed log (which I'm always proud of seeing) :D I have learned, mostly by reading other horror stories on here, to not be grossed out by bathroom details.

I realize I can't prove 100% that sarsaparilla is the sole reason for my cure, but knowing what I know about how it works, I'm positive it at least is an important factor in the lack of my symptoms. It also has to be my dietary changes...I also just tomorrow a.m. I'm having a follow up appt with my GI doc regarding my last colonoscopy and I am interested in finding out my hemoglobin levels and such. When I do I will definitely inform the HW family here. It would be nice to have tangible evidence, that I don't have any anemia or symptoms of UC, even though I am not taking any prescribed meds. If I learn that I do have low blood, I will have to change my beliefs, which I have no animosity towards. I am not trying to be right, only symptom free! Hopefully all of us will find what works for them so we can all be healed well :D

What condition did you try it for OM? Did you notice anything?

Seems worthy of a least a trial on UC-induced mice by some university or government researchers.

Is anyone else trying this and did anyone give this a genuine try and not notice anything or have adverse reactions?

If given the choice of this or mixing poop in a blender I believe I would give this a try. Again, I would really want to be certain of the source, knowing I'm getting the genuine product.
