Fighting Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease is a painful and often debilitating inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract. Crohn's affects at least 500,000 Americans, and millions more worldwide. Sadly, this condition can be termed "a disease of the young" because it primarily targets young people in the prime of life, between the ages of 15 and 25.

WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF CROHNS

• Abdominal pain

• Diarrhea

• Weight loss

• Poor appetite

• Fever

• Night sweats

• Rectal pain

• Rectal bleeding

Crohn's is mostly caused by a bacteria.

With Crohn's, one theory is that it is passed to humans in milk, suggesting that it may be caused by a bacterium. Researchers found Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria in 92% of patients with the disease.

The discovery that the MAP bug is present in the vast majority of Crohn's sufferers means it is almost certainly causing the intestinal inflammation.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's Disease in many species of ruminants. Johne's disease (pronounced "Yone-es") or paratuberculosis is an incurable wasting disease of adult cattle that is being increasingly recognized in the United States. Since prevalence rates in U.S.-slaughtered cows range from 2 to 18 percent, Johne's disease is now considered a major problem. It is of more concern in dairy herds than beef operations since there are a larger percentage of cases in the dairy cattle population than in beef. This difference is probably unrelated to specific breed susceptibility but reflects differences in management practices and close confinement, both of which favor easier transmission of the organism. Therefore, the major problem is the infected dairy herd.

According to a study conducted by the USDA in 1996, in the United States, between 20% and 40% of dairy cattle herds are infected with MAP. (Results of a new USDA survey will be published in 2003 based on data collected in 2002. With Johne's disease increasing at an alarming rate, undoubtedly the new figures will be higher, perhaps significantly higher, than those in 1996.)

Since MAP is not classified as a human pathogen, meat, milk and other products from animals infected with MAP may be continually entering the human food chain. There is a wealth of evidence which appears to indicate that MAP is capable of surviving the food processing methods that we employ to protect us from disease, such as cooking and pasteurization.

Crohn's disease is also known as a "wasting" disorder in which the immune system no longer functions properly. The numerous symptoms experienced happen because the body virtually "shuts down." The immune system is activated only when the body is exposed to harmful invaders. In patients with IBD, however, the immune system is abnormally and chronically activated in the absence of any known invader. The continued abnormal activation of the immune system results in chronic inflammation and ulceration.

Concerns about MAP and the scientific studies which suggest a connection to Crohn's disease in humans raise extremely grave concerns about food safety.

What are the chances that live MAP is in our food?

As a bit of history, in 1993, the first scientific study was published indicating that MAP may survive pasteurization standards used in the U.S. This study was ignored by federal agencies responsible for food safety in the U.S.

Much later, in 1998 when University of Wisconsin researchers published their findings that MAP was able to survive current U.S. pasteurization standards; this study was again ignored by U.S. Federal Agencies cognizant of food safety.

All in all, during the period 1993 through 2000 -- seven long years -- nine (9) scientific studies came in from the U.S. and around the world which suggested that MAP may survive current U.S. pasteurization standards/practices, and all of them were tossed to the side, ignored by cognizant U.S. Federal Agencies such as USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

There is a rapidly growing body of scientific evidence, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which suggests that human infection with the Mycobacterium known as Mycobacterium avium, subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is causing some, and possibly all, cases of Crohn's disease. A summary of peer-reviewed and published scientific evidence is presented below:

• Numerous diseases in cattle can be passed to human beings through cattle/cattle products (e.g. tuberculosis)

• MAP is a pathogenic (disease-causing) bacterium, which causes chronic intestinal disease in a wide range of animals, including sub-human primates and cattle.

• MAP causes Johne's Disease in cattle. MAP (Johne's Disease) infection in cattle bears remarkable clinical similarity to Crohn's disease in humans (e.g. chronic or intermittent diarrhea, ileum/intestinal/systemic involvement, wasting, immune system reaction, etc.).

• MAP is excreted in the milk of dairy cattle infected with Johne's Disease (MAP infection)

• MAP in milk may survive pasteurization.

• MAP infection (Johne's disease) prevalence is increasing in cattle. Similarly, the prevalence of Crohn's disease is reported to be increasing in human beings.

• MAP has been found in Crohn's disease patients by bacteriologic culture.

• MAP has been found in Crohn's disease/IBD patients by genetic probes (including both DNA, and RNA).

• MAP found in Crohn's disease patients is of the Bovine (cattle) subtype, meaning of "bovine origin"

• Profound remissions in Crohn's disease patients have been induced using anti-mycobacterium drug therapy which has been used effectively against MAP. (Note: One study alone documented profound remission in over 80% of Crohn's disease patients using anti-mycobacterium drugs which has affectivity against MAP)

IMMUNE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

Another problem associated with Crohn's Disease is a disturbed immune system. The immune system is composed of immune cells and the proteins that these immune cells produce. Normally, these cells and proteins defend the body against harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other foreign invaders. Activation of the immune system causes inflammation within the tissues where the activation occurs. (Inflammation is an important mechanism of defense used by the immune system.)

The many other new types of health problems indicate that human autoimmune functions are severely compromised.

Observers think that the lack of probiotic-type, beneficial gut bacteria is part of the cause. Over 400 distinct species of microorganisms inhabit the human digestive tract, and their collective quantity far exceeds the number of physiological tissue cells. These friendly microorganisms are responsible for numerous essential body operations, including maintaining the chemical and hormonal balance, preventing infiltration of harmful bacteria, yeasts, viruses, molds, and other parasites, producing and regulating vitamins, stimulating the function of the entire digestive system, and promoting proper immune function.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

Creation Elixir

Creation Elixir operates at the highest level in terms of its capacity to stop the pathological sequence of all disease. It provides a natural and completely effective method of stopping the negative reciprocating cycle of inflammation and cell destruction that leads to chronic ill health. All disease is based on these negative reciprocating cycles that build on themselves. This causes the body to be trapped in disease cycles that our body's innate mechanisms cannot stop without some sort of input. The frequency vibrations instilled in Creation Elixir are able to halt these negative disease causing inflammation and cellular destruction cycles that destroy health in a much more effective manner than anything else available in mainstream or alternative medicine. For Crohn’s it will reduce inflammation in the intestinal tract and stimulate healing of the intestinal wall. In addition the energies it transfers to your body will help kill the pathogens the cause crohn’s disease.

Glutathione PleoLyposome

In this unique formulation, glutathione has been encapsulated with essential omega3 and omega6 phospholipids, allowing ease of cellular entry to promote important detoxification.  Glutathione is the body’s most important cellular detoxifier, however, until now, glutathione supplementations or injections have failed to enter cells efficiently.  Our Glutathione PleoLyposome is a major breakthrough in cellular absorption.   Forty percent of it’s benefit comes from detoxifying cells in the intestinal wall, thirty percent comes from helping to repair the intestinal wall, and the final thirty percent from it’s ability to kill pathogens in cells.   Ingredients:  Essential phospholipids, reduced glutathione, vit. B12, folinic acid, water, lecithin, alcohol, flax oil, natural flavor, Shugr, stevia. 

Defense

One of our most popular products, Defense contains a potent blend of Black Cumin, Muscadine Grape Seed, Tsi-Ahga and Allicin.  This formula kills microscopic organisms, poisonous bacteria, parasites and fungal infections, reduces blood pressure, reduces high blood cholesterol, removes heavy metals and other toxins, scavenges and removes free radicals, repairs immune system cells (by providing high sulfur compounds), and increases blood circulation. The Allicin in two capsules of Defense is equivalent to eating 45 whole bulbs of garlic!

Black Cumin also stimulates bone marrow to produce immune cells, increases interferon production, protects the body against viruses and inhibits infection.

Tsi-Ahga is derived from Conks that grow on certain cone-bearing trees. The 3-beta-D-glucans which it contains, increase the number of T-Cells, macrophages and white blood cells, helping to support the thymus and spleen (essential to ensuring that immune cells are properly programmed), introducing anti-tumor polysaccharides, and providing perhaps the highest source of germanium in nature (an important oxygen catalyst). Defense is in this protocol because of its ability to kill the pathogens that cause crohn’s.

PRP Factor

A proprietary proline-rich extract of grade A bovine colostrum, PRP Factor delivers thousands of bioactive nutritional compounds including high therapeutic levels of PRP's and Cytokines.

While these nutrients are known to nutritionally support the immune, cytokine and endocrine systems, recent research indicates that they also have powerful action against degenerative conditions and infections of all types.

"PRP in bovine colostrum has the same ability to regulate activity of the immune system as hormones of the Thymus gland. It activates an underactive immune system, helping it move into action against disease-causing organisms. PRP also suppresses an overactive immune system, such as is often seen in the autoimmune diseases. PRP is highly anti-inflammatory and also appears to act on T-cell precursors to produce helper T-cells and suppresser T-cells" ...Drs. Staroscik, et. al., Molecular Immunology.

PRP factor is specially formulated to deliver therapeutic levels of: Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRP), Cytokines, Nine distinct growth factors, Dozens of known Immune system regulators, Lactoferrin and Transferrin all of which have antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-unhealthy cell action. In short, this all natural extract of bovine colostrum helps rebuild the immune system, helps the body ward off foreign invaders, accelerates healing of all body tissue, increases bone and lean muscle mass and replenishes an aging system. PRP Factor reduces inflammation of the intestinal lining and promotes healing of the intestinal wall. In addition it stimulates the immune system to attack the pathogens that cause crohn’s disease.   100% Casein Free

Testimonial:

Robert, I just wanted you to know that the PRP takes away my joint problems from my auto immune problems. Sometimes I can barely walk.  I take the defense and the PRP.  When my son came down with H1N1 I did not catch it, even though I was taking care of him.  I usually get sick and stay sick for at least two months, and then it usually turns into Pneumonia for another month.  It is really a wonderful product.  I've run out of it now, and my joints hurt, and I have a soar throat, so I fear I will be sick.  I should never run out, but sometimes I can't afford to order.  Thanks for such a great product to help me.  I'll try and order more often in the future.

DHLA Nano-Plex

DHLA Nano-Plex offers premier health benefits for nerve and brain cell nourishment --  protection and rejuvenation that is much more potent than alpha lipoic acid. Because of its probiotic fermentation processing, DHLA delivers alpha lipoic acid and other nutrients directly into the cells, providing significant relief for immune-related concerns, fatigue and brain malfunction. DHLA has far superior free-radical quenching power than even R-lipoic acid. It is the ultimate antioxidant capable of quenching EVERY known free radical, which are major causes of chronic health dysfunction. DHLA recycles all major antioxidants, including CoQ-10, glutathione and vitamins E and C. Practitioners report that patients taking DHLA require far fewer supplements and experience dramatic improvement in significantly less time because it promotes rapid balancing of brain and nerve chemistry. 

Now frequency-enhanced to increase its ability to get into cells and to facilitate its work in the cells. It works to increase energy in the cells in the intestinal wall which enables them to better repair themselves. It also protects them from free radical damage.

DHLA Nano-Plex is produced by 12 strains of beneficial probiotic organisms that pre-culture and "nanize" our nutrient sources where they become part of the living probiotic structure, micro-digested into particle sizes so tiny they become exceptionally bio-available. These provide

Proprietary blend - DHLA (80mg), Resveratrol (5mg), (Polygonum cusp.), Tumeric (rhizome) (Curcuma I.), Bifidobacterium Species (breve ss. Breve, infantis ss, infantis longum), Enterococcus species, (faecalis TH10, faecium), Lactobacillus species (acidophilus, bulgaricus, casei ss. Casei, fermen., helv.ss. Jagurti, plantarum), Streptcoccus therm. Spring Water, organic alcohol

2 ounces of liquid with 48 servings. 

DiaClear

DiaClear is doctor-designed and recommended to provide safe, effective and fast-acting relief from diarrhea, upset stomach and nervous tension.  Each ingredient plays a specific role in calming, balancing and strengthening an upset system.

3 capsules contain: 

Organic Air Filtered Microzeolite 790mg; Zeolites are a group of porous minerals with large absorptive capacity. These "mini vacuum cleaners" capture toxins and other distressing elements, immediately improving digestive function. 

Organic Pascalite Clay: 700mg  Zeolite has touted as being the very best ingredient for stopping diarrhea, and it is good. But Pascalite Clay is even better. In one small study it stopped the diarrhea of every participant. DiaClear is significantly more potent now that pascalite has been added to it. And now is even more effective than before when compared to the zeolite based anti-diarrhea products on the market.

Wildcrafted Citrus Pectin 200mg; widely know for its ability to remove wastes and toxins as well as control diarrhea. It also inhibits sticky plaque from clogging the walls of blood vessels. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Cardiology showed citrus pectin supplementation significantly decreased blood cholesterol levels. 

Apricot 4:1 100mg, Black Cherry Extract 100mg; These two extracts have similar effects, stimulating normal digestive function while supporting beneficial bacteria. In DiaClear their use is to complement Nutraflora in it's work, as the microzeolite, pascalite and pectin absorp toxic debris and help clear out underlying factors. Native Americans used home-made extracts of apricot and black cherry to treat diarrhea, lung congestion, coughs, and colds. Some tribes used these extracts as a general tonic. 

NutraFlora (scFOS) 100 mg; Using NutraFlora daily rapidly increases colonies of beneficial bacteria. Studies show 500% (5-fold) increase in bifidosis within 30 days. This is tremendous, and plays a major role in normalizing bowel activity.

Turmeric 100mg; has been used effectively for centuries in India and Thailand to relieve diarrhea. This spice, even in small quantities, acts to enhance digestion, eliminate excess water: mucous, phlegm and diarrhea. Aulterra 10mg; Aids in absorption of these nutrients. Each bottle contains 90 capsules.
