Black walnut and cloves are not good for uc but good for parasites if you have them. If you suspect you do you should add wormwood to the mix!

hmm not good as in bad or not good as in ineffective? if ineffective, don't worry, 80% of the things out there for UC are ineffective for me, haha. I was actually told I had parasites by a naturopathic doctor but I like having evidence (stool tests, scopes, etc). done to diagnose such things. I had a stool test done last year which showed nothing. between then and now though, my symptoms have definitely changed. maybe I really do have parasites? regardless, I like knowing people are taking initiative and finding ways to help themselves. I hope this regimen keeps you feeling good.

Sorry I meant they are ineffective, not helpful unless you have parasites. As far as I know it can't hurt to try though! Sometimes you get a false negative with parasite tests.

And thanks! I hope it continues to work too :)

Local labs never find these things. I'm glad you are still proceeding. Make sure to keep up whateve path you take for a good long while. You also want to look into doing several liver flushes.

Sorry they didn't find anything validating. The drugs they'd give you are crap anyway. Better to do it naturally.

Ya I'm not sure how well I trust the test. There are blood tests that test specifically for liver flukes that I will ask about at my alpointment in 2 weeks.

The liver flush I read about involved drinking a bunch of oil, lemon juice, and epsom salts which supposedly "flush" out bile stones etc. is that what you are talking about pathogen killer?

I was thinking of doing one, then read this: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/flushes.html

The thing that interested me about that article was that they can make the "bile stones" from the mixture outside of the human body, suggesting they aren't actually bile stones but solidified fat that is coming out. I was on Hulda Clarkes website and found it strange when she suggested you will get thousands of stones with a flush, this is what made me look it up as tha seems a but far fetched. Not to say the liver flush does not do something, but they've proven that the "stones" it produces are produced by that mixture (by adding dyes etc and studying it).
Anyway, I'm going to bring the photos I took to the doc in 2 weeks and see what she has to say about it. I can no longer see eggs, so maybe I have killed something off or maybe it is not breeding or maybe it was just something I ate! We shall see...

I don't care about the "stones". I care about the effects on the Billary system.

I see, it probably does do something for that. Just the part about stones threw me off. So much crap on the Internet it is hard to sift through it all!

I was feeling so great and convinced I was all better that I had some wood fired bagels a couple days ago and now feel like CRAP. I guess diet still does play a role. I didn't even think gluten was my worst offender, always thought it was dairy. Sigh. Oh well.

Well if you have been flaring for a long time then the bacterial balance in your colon is probably quite damaged by now and you are not producing enough of the enzymes that digest gluten. It can take months to be able to eat gluten without any issues.

Ya, I kinda suspected that but wanted to test it anyway. I didn't think I was ever that sensitive to the stuff. I've heard when you eliminate gluten completely it can make you even more sensitive than you were before. Apparently that happened to me! On the bright side I went completely SCD yesterday and and solid and bloodless today. It's actually amazing how quickly things go from good to bad then back to good again!

Laughingduck has not visited this site in 4 months so I wouldn't hold your breath on her checking in. Some of her last posts said that LDN was working for her so I'm guessing the parasite cleanse is not what worked. If you started a new thread and gave us more information we might be able to help.

Laughing Duck, I see you have not posted since 2015. I saw one of your posts on your genetics and you also said you are taking sulfasalazine for arthritis? At any rate, you have a CBS heterozygous mutation (mutation from one parent) but this is enough to make you very allergic to sulfur chemicals and sulfasalazine is a sulfur chemical. With a CBS (Cystathionine Beta Synthase) mutation, the body cannot properly absorb metabolize and excrete sulfur and phosphorus and so they build up and cause toxification to the system. This then causes and exacerbates inflammation. You also have an MTHFR 677 heterozygous mutation and this will make you deficient in folate. The CBS mutation is a worse one, but both together will cause problems. CBS makes you very deficient in B6 and Magnesium and MTHFR makes you very deficient in folate. All three of these are needed to absorb the others, so a deficiency in any one will cause a deficiency in the others.

Please stop taking the sulfasalazine. Stop taking vitamin D (it makes the body absorb more calcium and phosphorus and with a CBS mutation, there will already be too much calcium and phosphorus in the soft tissue(non bone) cells of the body. Stop taking any calcium supplements and avoid foods high in vit D, calcium, sulfur and phosphorus..

Start supplementing with liquid magnesium chloride. Trace Minerals Research "Mega Mag" is a really good brand. USRDA for magnesium is 400mg/day. So this stuff is measured in dropperfulls. One dropperfull is 100mg/ day, so for total USRDA, take 2 dropperfulls (200mg) in AM and 2 dropperfulls in PM. But always start one supplement at a time and always start LOW AND SLOW! This means start out at about 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended dose, so for this, start with 100mg (1 dropperfull ) per day and gradually over a few days time work up to 400mg per day.

This stuff tastes bad, so put a little OJ (I like Odwalla OJ) in a shot glass and then put the dropperfull of Trace Minerals Research Mega Mag ionic liquid magnesium chloride into it and mix it up a little and just quickly "shoot it back" and swallow it. It will help out a lot.

After being on the magnesium chloride for a couple weeks, then start taking Emerald CoEnzymated B Healthy, B complex vitamin with Methyl Folate instead of Folic Acid (which is best for those with MTHFR mutations). Since you are probably chemically sensitive, I would recommend opening up one capsule and using one side of the capsule as a cup and taking only about 1/8th of the capsule. That might be all you need. Too much can cause insomnia or other issues.

Everyone needs B complex vitamins to survive, especially those with many mutations to their methylation system. The catch is that those with many mutations absolutely need to take B complex every day, but they also cannot tolerate very much, so take a very very small amount. I know this because I have both MTHFR mutations and a double CBS mutation and this is what I have to do. Please contact me if you have any other questions.
