Colitis and DMSO
Does anyone have any knowledge about taking DMSO internally for help with colitis? They say I have microscopic colitis and it's a real pain to live with. Impacts your whole day. Please be specific with your suggestions. Thank you so much.
Hi Mary,
In case you don't get a reply to your DMSO/colitis question, you may find the following link of significant importance :
Here are some relevant quotes from the link :
' When looking at IBD such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, clinical experience and studies have shown LDN to be effective in reducing symptoms, improving endoscopic findings, and decreasing the need for steroids. LDN works by modulating overactive T-cell lymphocytes and mast cells, which are key players in the inflammatory process associated with these diseases. '
' LDN should be used more in gastroenterology, especially considering its proven efficacy. While 400, 000 prescriptions are written each year, it's mostly internists, not gastroenterologists, who are prescribing it, and this likely stems from a lack of training in medical schools about LDN's benefits and applications. '
' But let me be clear: LDN works. There's absolutely no denying its effectiveness. The reluctance of some doctors, possibly influenced by pharmaceutical biases, doesn't negate the positive outcomes we're seeing in practice. Physician assistants, who often spend a lot of time with patients, are particularly enthusiastic about LDN due to the tangible benefits they observe. Just recently, I spoke with a woman being treated for Crohn's disease with LDN, and she's not just doing well—she's thriving, experiencing fewer food cravings and even losing weight. It really is a wonder drug. '
