crohn's holistic doctor

My daughter was recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and she is scheduled for surgery in the next two weeks. She is barely coping and we are finding ways to help her  get back on her feet. I found this website of a homeopathy doctor about an alternative treatment to crohn's which does not require steroids, his website is
http://www.crohnswholistic.com

I am quite apprehensive about taking the plunge and making my daughter  go to this homeopathy doctor, his name s Dr. Namaya. But we are doing everything we can and willing to try anything that promises even the smallest glimmer of hope for her  condition.
Has anyone here tried homeopathy to treat crohn's? Was it successful? Any help and/or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Okuno,
   The best way for me to answer your concerns and possibly give you an alternative choice is by telling my story. Understand this is the short version because it would take pages to tell it all. Out of everything I have been through it has been a battle with disease, life, and my spiritual awakening.

I have been dealing with Crohn’s Disease for over 30 years. The pain and discomfort caused by this hideous disease destroyed my life.

I have gone through two bowel resections and numerous emergency room and hospital visits over the years.

During the first twenty years of this disease, Prednisone and Sulfasalazine were the main treatment. Later Antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin or Metronidazole), Corticosteroids, 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP), Methotrexate, and Cyclosporine when I ended up in emergency rooms. Which happened more than I can remember. None of these worked as the Prednisone did. I eventually started receiving Remicade treatments that helped with the fistulas for a while. This was temporary and I had to go back every 6 weeks.

In 2007, the disease flared-up and consumed me. I was found in bed un-responsive and rush to the hospital in an ambulance. I spent three days on life support and stayed in the hospital for approximately 35 days. During this time, they were not able to get control of the disease and I experienced my second bowel resection. I never recovered.

After the surgery, I got worse. The pain returned, the fistulas’ got worse, and I developed a new symptom of rashes all over my skin. The pain stayed at a level 10 and was now 24 hours. I slept in 30 minute increments because my bowel frequency was unparalleled to anything I had experience in all the years of harboring this disease.

I literally was preparing for my death. I sent all my possessions to my children and arranged for my body to be taken care of. I at this time lost all hope and wanted nothing more than to die.

In May of 2009, my roommate approached me and told me she met someone whose grandchild had Crohn’s disease. He had come across this liquid that he felt could help me. I responded that I did not want help and really, as if I need another miracle in my life as I rolled my proverbial eyes.

Through the years, I had tried everything. I made my own food. I ate different diets. I tried everything from Probiotic products to vitamins to miracle cures. At every corner through the years was the ultimate miracle that resulted in yet another disappointment.

With her insistence, I went to see this individual and when I walked into his office I felt there was no way I wanted anything to do with this. To my disappointment, there was a voice deep down pushing me forward. I accepted the plastic gallon jug he handed me and carried it home. He instructed me to drink 2 ounces a day 3 times a day. The taste was unbelievably horrid at first.

My attitude was that I had nothing to lose. Therefore, I drank this stuff three times a day. On the third day, the pain disappeared and I was able to sleep through most of the night. The frequency went down and I was able to sleep through the night within a week of starting the formula.

Today I am not totally symptom free and there are some resemblances of the disease present at times. However, I lost my ileum in the first bowel resection and bile can be an issue if I do not watch my diet.

For the most part, I live a productive, happy symptom free life. In my heart, I know the disease is gone. I feel that after 30 plus years of pain and everything else that comes with Crohn’s disease there is a body and cellular memory. As each day goes by, I laugh more than the day before.

There is hope for people out there. I encourage you to start reading more on alkalinity and disease. There are several great sites talking about this and it works. The one thing I found common in all diseases is that they thrive in an acid environment. This liquid I drank raised my pH from a 5.0 (which is as bad as it gets) to a 6.25 in three days and the Crohns started dissipating.

The following site talks about acidity and alkaline in the body. This is not the person mentioned or the water I drank. It is a website I found while educating myself on this topic. I read many things on this topic after meeting this person  because I did not want to go into it blind. I am a Software Engineer by education and have worked for IBM and Dell over the past 25 years. I am one of those people who does research to ad nauseum.

I encourage each of you no matter your issues to look into this.

Sincerely,
Brian

I have been posting in a lot of forums regarding my daughter’s condition and if we should consider homeopathy or not. I have been getting negative responses more so than positive responses about giving homeopathy a go. We decided not to go through the surgery and see Dr. Namaya in his beautiful clinic in Vermont where we stayed for two days.  I am not too fond of doctors but seeing the amount of care and attention he has given to my daughter is enough to make us go and see him again. He was very thorough and asked about everything that might lead to this disease, and he made us understand what exactly is crohn’s disease and what it can do both to the patient and his/her loved ones.

It was a learning and humbling experience for me.  Dr. Namaya prepared a diet and supplement plan for my daughter that are easy to follow and effective and my daughter did not have a flare up since we started her on the supplements  Dr. Namaya prescribed. He told us that we would see results within one-two months.  We are going to hold a telephone visit with him this week for him to check on the progress of my daughter. My daughter is coping now, thanks to Dr. Namaya of Crohn’s and IBS Wholistic Medical  Care.

There are a lot of homeopathic treatments that people have tried for Crohn's and Colitis.  I've never had the will power or persistence to continue any of them long enough to see a drastic improvement, but i do believe they work.  In my opinion, UC and Crohns are very closely linked to stress... a mind body connection.  I see a clear correlation between stress/diet/and my own symptoms.

There is a guy in northern california who has claimed to have healed himself and others with these horrible diseases through a natural raw, vegan diet.  i read his book and plan on following through with it one of these days.

i DEFINITELY recommend seeing the homeopathic doctor.  in my opinion, western medical doctors treat the symptoms, but not the root of the problem.  My experience has shown that they are less understanding, and definitely less optimistic about the fate of us IBD  patients.  

There IS HOPE.  There is the possibility that she can beat it without surgery.

As far as I am aware, homeopathy will not bring Crohn's into remission. There are other drugs besides steroids to bring about remission, although there can be serious side effects.  I self inject 25 mg of methotrexate (a cytotoxic immuno-suppressant drug) weekly, and this has helped enormously.I was on prednisone steroids for some 30 yrs, but they have caused osteopenia of my bones and gastros these days do not prescribe steroids for long periods because of the side effects.  I would take the advice of the gastroenterologist on what medications will best suit your daughter.

Complementary medicine therapies such as aromatherapy massages, reflexology, Reikki etc. can help the patient cope with this incurable disease, but are no substitute for allopathic medicines.
