We're almost up to the recruitment goal, but are still very short on men with IBD and both men and women with UC.  If you haven't already, please visit the study website and encourage others with IBD to participate!  I couldn't do this without your help--Thank You!!

Curcumin, the active ingredient found in the spice turmeric, helps ease inflammation by blocking the effects of two enzymes in the body which lead to inflammation. The two enzymes, 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-2, have been found to encourage and sustain swelling and inflammation in body tissues and organs. Blocking the enzymes helps reduce pain and the risk of other medical conditions that may develop as a result of prolonged inflammation.

Heart doubtlessly is one most critical organ of the body. As its capacity is to pump blood, you can't walk or do a little effort without it pumping appropriately. Corpulence, in any case, has an exceptionally negative impact on your heart wellbeing and prompts issues because of elevated cholesterol that gets kept in your veins. MAINTAIN PERSONAL HYGIENE

Hello all! I'ma 10 year veteran of Crohn's Disease. I just want to share with you some really rad info. My mom became aware of the cutting edge info out there on Crohn's right now after attending a medical conference in Philadelphia, and I am soooooo happy she did. My friends, Crohn's has been proven to be an infectious disease- NOT auto-immune. Science has known this for a very long time. Hell, Dr. Crohn's knew this way back when, he just simply couldn't prove it. CD is a bacterium called MAP (mycobacterium parataburculosis). It can absolutely be treated- if not cured. CHeck out this eBook on Amazon- "Wake up to the Truth Behind Crohns Disease." For $10 it will change your whole life. Written by an alternative doctor. TONS of scientific research, proof, data, resources and the history of how this epidemic came to be and why its growing at an insane rate. Turns out other countries are well aware of the true nature of CD- the US wants to keep the truth hidden because of pharmaceutical sales. There is currently a vaccine underway and there are now 2 organizations that test Crohn's patients for this bacterium. Anyway, when I began treating my disease like an infection, I finally got better and eventually got OFF the toxic drugs. I hate reading all these posts of people still suffering. read the book. You will never see your illness the same again. You can get better
