Agreed LowLead - I can confidently say that most in this thread have not spent the 3+ hours required to read and understand Pravda's paper just based on reading the dialogue going on here. The paper...
Interesting, I did see a Life Extension article that was several years old talking about benefits of DHLA but then couldn't find the product on their site. So this makes sense....
Indeed I remember you mentioning this. Eagerly awaiting the release....
Interesting, I didn't realize the full details of the enema had been out. Nevertheless it is impossible to do the protocal as RDLA is not able to be purchased at this time...and RDLA is a very...
Please let us know if you hear back from him!...
Probably not simply because while some of the ingredients had leaked in the past, the full details of proportions and exact mixing instructions were not released until yesterday. So outside of...
I don't believe so. The paper said its only available in Europe with a perscription as part of a treatment for some neuropathic condition. There are supplement companies that are in the process of...
That said, I also agree with you that until RDLA becomes widely available, we should look at other alternative antioxidants with similar mechanisms of action....
So we agree? I was responding to people saying all you have to do is take a million different supplemental antioxidants. Pravda's protocol has nothing to do with taking a BUNCH of antioxidants. It...
Here you go - https://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/full/v28/i31/4263.htm...
I think you are underestimating the potential power of this enema. All the ingredients work together to stop a self perpetuating feedback loop. Sure Mesalamine and budesonide are already effective,...
Other things to discuss for those that don't have an immediate way to get access to the enema. I will explore the enema with my GI at next appt in Nov. Ubiquinol - reduced form of CoQ10, good...
Pravdas protocol has nothing to do with taking a bunch of antioxidants. It is a medical enema with mesalamine, budesonide, sodium cromolyn, and sodium butyrate administered for 8 weeks along with an...
I've read the study twice now. Incredibly well researched and seems to answer so many questions including why smoking helps, exactly how mesalamine is working, why UC starts in rectum and works its...
I just mailed this latest Pravda paper to my GI doctor (like actually put it in the mail). Figured it would get more attention than an email....
Thanks for posting this Mark. And yes, please let us know how Tributyrin-X works for you....
@Vanjordan From: Sustained Histologic Remission (Complete Mucosal Healing) 12 Years after One-Time Treatment of Refractory Ulcerative Colitis with Novel Combination Therapy: A Case Report "The...
Another way to get butyric acid in the colon could be Tributyrin which is an ester composed of butyric acid and glycerol. There is a product called Tributyrin-X which is coated to only release in the...

thanks for your post vanjordan, very helpful...
My IBD doc is seeing strong correlation with flares and COVID vaccines....
No, multiple docs have stated definitely UC....
Diet helps from a symptom perspective, but doesn't seem to reduce CRP or eliminate inflamation seen during a scope, nor does it completely eliminate symptoms. I am doing SCD right now. My doc is...
Quick recap of where I am. My symptoms are close to normal, not perfect but close. My CRP sits around 5.5 and then my doc prescribes Uceris for 30 days and takes my CRP back to 1.5...two months after...
I would go stelara if insurance allows....
Yes, they are talking about hydroxychloroquine right now on Fox Business Network. Early indications VERY positive. They used this extensively in South Korea....
I have Entyvio infusion today, not worried at all....
John is right. And I would be far more concerned about being on systemic steroids in the face of Covid-19 then I would be about biologics. Also, I follow some Twitter feeds of well regarded IBD...
Not sure why John keeps posting that Entyvio has a black box warning as I've corrected him in previous threads. It does NOT have a boxed warning....
https://www.sciencealert.com/latest-coronavirus-study-suggests-it-can-also-be-spread-through-poop...
Correct, which is why scientists were surprised to find the virus in fecal matter in high quantities, very unique for a respiratory virus....
Yes IamCurious...thanks for posting. We know how easy C. Diff spreads fecally...we must be very vigilant with hand washing in the coming months as many of us are immune suppressed...so trying to...
No side effect difference at all versus placebo. Of course these studies are usually a year in length so don't explore super long term side effects. That said, long term follow up studies thus far...
Yes, the fecal transmission path has been well established at this point. Obviously it spreads through respiratory droplets as well but hopefully that means transmission rates slow in more developed...
The clinical studies showed no difference in side effects vs placebo. My personal experience with this drug is similar in that I have experienced absolutely no side effects after more than 6 months...
The research I did a while back showed it safe for long term use....
I developed severe Tinnitus in one ear a year ago overnight. It was about a month after moving to 4x Lialda per day. Could be coincidence though, I just live with it. Went to ENT but he was...
As stated in my post right before yours, remicade can work very quickly and is used as rescue therapy in steroid refractory patients. I would also look into Tacrolimus as it is HIGHLY effective for...
Remicade can work very quickly in some cases and it is used as rescue therapy. Ask about tacrolimus as a bridge to remicade. I know some docs use that with Entyvio to deal with the slow response...
:)...
Someone skipped exponential functions in math class...
Wow, hope you find something new that works for you....
Got insurance approval for 4 week Entyvio dosing last week. Next infusion scheduled for tomorrow which will be 5.5 weeks from last one. I notice that I really start to go downhill in week 7 and it...
My doc had me do six weeks of daily mesalamine enemas (alongside oral Lialda) to see if we could get to endoscopic remission without escalating to biologics. When it failed, I tried six weeks of...
I had some leftover Lialda so I first moved to 2 Lialda per day and 2 generic per day. So far, no negative impact from that move and I'm 10+ days in....
Moved my doctor appointment up and saw her yesterday. She wants to move me to every 4 week entyvio injections from 8. Waiting to see if insurance will approve. I have very minor symptoms (though I am...
Qing Dai worked very effectively for me for about a week before I became allergic to it and got really I'll every time I took it....
Yes, had to switch to generic....
Ok, I will add rectals. I would say my symptoms are only slightly worse than they were a few months ago. I am having a bit more abdominal cramping (mild) and now have 2 bowel movements per day rather...
I am still on 4 Lialda per day. They ran Entyvio blood levels last time and it showed 16 and doc said that was decent. I have another doctor appointment in 4 weeks. You think it is safe to wait or...
