BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Alternative Medicine crohns 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 isBellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons.

There's an excellent book that is now out of print, but can be found in libraries, eBay & Amazon (used) called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall. It is a dietary regiment aimed at healing Crohn's. Most of the book is recipes--so it's a short read; but it was incredible information. Granted, it could take years of this diet to heal completely--but no steroids.

We've found that mainstream doctors simply won't accept the possibility of natural methods. I have a diagnosed insulin condition that was treated with a prescription for a number of years, but after my son was born and I was nursing I found a DO that knew of a natural supplement that has for the last 4 years been controlling my insulin better than the prescription ever did. So since the initial diagnosis, I have been under treatment either through traditional Rx or this supplement--but at the moment, it's the supplement.

I had 4 doctors tell me that since there was only one blood test that showed a definite issue (the initial one) that there was no way I actually had a problem since every subsequent insulin level was in the "okay" range. Forget that I was medicated--I'm "not medicated" now and my levels are perfect. None would listen. Four of them.

I would get on the Crohn's message boards and see if they have any input. I might also check mothering.com/discussions and see if one of their message boards has input since they are a holistic community overall.

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.
