Hi,
Anyone tried this and had any benefit? I read a review paper that suggests it lowers inflammation, TNF-a, PGE and others, which I certaintly have a problem with, in particular systemic inflammation, causing arthopothy and so on. The referenced studies were mainly in rat models though so not very solid really. Just wondering if anyone has tried it and had any benefit?

Thanks

I know it's good if you have non-healing fistulas but haven't heard of anyone else using it for their plain IBD.
I'm interested to know what specific improvements you'be noted bird0605.
I would love to try this treatment as the scientific rationale makes complete sense and it's so innocuous in comparison to other treatments, but it's very difficult to get access to in Australia (they mainly only use it for diabetic foot ulcers I think and it's quite tightly controlled)
