Any guesstimates when this might be available?...
I thought a possible new vaccine for covid would be considered good news....
I don’t think it will hurt to make sure I have adequate vit D....
I agree 100 percent. Sunlight has nothing to do with vitamin D....
Here is a government study about vitamin D and covid. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32252338 ...
The previous thread was locked because ks1905 and ambling turned an informative thread into a food fight. They are ones who should be banned....
I didn’t see politics discussed here, only a mainstream newspaper speculating how the virus MAY have originated....
Who has mentioned vaccines?...
Yes but rectal meds cannot extract $4,000-6,000/month from their patients....
I am not an antivaxxer and get my flu shot every year. Last year I got a shot for shingles. I tried to google search Bill Maher's November 1st conversation with Dr. Jay Gordon without any success. I...
Not everyone who smokes gets cancer, and not everyone who eats carrageenan will get a U C flare. But there are enough of us who do....
Yikes!...
Someone mentioned earlier that biologics are a cash cow of several thousand dollars per month in maintenance. That might be the elephant in the room that makes sense but nobody wants to talk about,...
38 years! Congratulations Old Mike...
Interesting subset of members to be mostly in agreement with. Ipoop won't hesitate about recommending high powered meds to maintain “quality of life”, while Old Mike doesn't take any meds at all....
That might be a substantial portion of his annual income....
A lot of people are scared of cigarettes too but taking up smoking again was my lifesaver when my meds began to lose their effectiveness. After years of smoking no side effects at all except...
I agree with FlowersGal and enjoy listening to new ideas that make sense to me: ...
Treat strong and early with biologics to prevent disease progression and yield the best [b]quality of life for those who will live the longest with UC[/i] If it doesn't enhance to QOL of the patient...
Maybe if I were on Remicade then I probably could eat more of whatever I like. But there might be limits, please let us know....
If the doctor has children to put through college, and he knows that you are well insured and won't be financially stressed, then this makes perfect sense to me....
A lot of people are scared of cigarettes too but taking up smoking again was my lifesaver when my meds began to lose their effectiveness. The only side effect that I can see is becoming winded...
I don't understand the point you guys are trying to make. Are you saying that supplementing with selenium, or zinc, or vitamin d, glycine, or anything else listed in your posts, etc., has helped with...
I never see posts of alternative people judging those who need pharmaceuticals and found success with them. But we need to defend ourselves when the same pro-med posters continually put us down for...
I agree, "no matter what's working" and whether or not it is now considered "scientific"....
I didn't see any justification for locking yesterday's thread on trans fat....
And STDs. Experts in the article said these colorectal cancers are not related to the human papilloma virus. HPV is associated with squamous cell cancers, which are common in HPV-related anal...
I don't get the point, no new information from that study...
This liberal leftist from England seems to be pissed at our election https://www.facebook.com/JonathanPieReporter/?pnref=story...
I have finally given up on this forum, it is way overly moderated. There are one or two pro-med moderators here who use the excuse of 'scaring people' as justification for locking threads and...
Speaking of scare tactics, I am tired of relatives, even strangers sometimes, coming up to me to say I shouldn't smoke. Cigarettes are my lifesaver when my meds began to lose their effectiveness. The...
This is in violation of forum rule #6: 6. No posts of copyrighted material, lengthy articles, or posts of an overtly political or religious nature(ie. proselyting)....
My meds seemed to be gradually losing their effectiveness so I started smoking cigarettes again. Put me back into full remission....
Why not try it and find out? Maybe you can be one of the 5 of 11 patients who ended up in complete remission according to the Israeli study. Or perhaps one of the 10 of those 11 patients who found...
Lifestyle changes can help some with IBD but may not help others. Are you saying that we shouldn't discuss lifestyle changes that have definitely helped some of us because those with the disease not...
Soy wasn’t ‘targeting’ you. Your original statement was “U.C. is a chronic, lifelong illness that requires a maintenance medication”. Readers get the impression that only conventional meds are...
I think HW would be better served if they had at least one moderator who emphasized the alternative route to remission. They would have more understanding for the 25-30 percent who apply alternatives...
You should know the forum rules by now. If you support meds then you can say anything you want, but if not then any excuse can shut you down....
Thank you for sharing and informing us about possible real-life side effects of some meds. I know they are rare but most of us know very little about them. I am sorry for what you went through....
I've never had any side effects (3 years on remicade, and 2 years on 6mp) and several others who post here regularly have been on remicade much, much longer than me and have had the same remission...
As I said in an earlier post in this thread, I think HW would be better served if they had at least one moderator who emphasized the alternative route to remission....
It isn’t jumping on someone who doesn’t take meds, that doesn’t happen anymore. It is more of a feeling that a moderator may be more sympathetic and therefore allow more leeway for a pro-med poster...
I wonder where they all went?.. I remember I used to just read posts as a guest and there were more active members present in this forum Maybe some of them don’t feel completely at home here. There...
Maybe the moderators should check to see if she was banned from the forum accidentally. It has happened before....
I get it. So calling someone "a condescending fool" is not considered an inflammatory post....
We supposedly have moderators for these kinds of posts. Where are they?...
I'm hoping we do get another referendum because that's our only hope of aborting this wretched exit I don't think so. Almost the entire British establishment was for remaining in the E.U. including...
“First do no harm” is supposed to be one of the principal precepts of bioethics that all healthcare students are taught in school and is a fundamental principle throughout the world. But nowadays it...
Why, pray tell, is imagardener2 BANNED from posting here in this forum? She was one of my favorites. I always looked forward to reading what she had to say....
Actually I don't see your point. You were citing recommendations that did not take into consideration the warning originally published in JAMA that was posted in HW two years ago and reposted in...
