Digestive disorders affect approximately 20 million Americans. The diseases cause nearly 25 percent of all surgeries and are one of the leading causes of disability in working Americans. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American adults.
Digestive health in the United States must improve. Anyone suffering from a disease affecting their digestive system can understand how debilitating the problem is and how ineffective most medical care is at correcting complex medical issues.
Understanding Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a digestive disorder that causes inflammation within the lining of the large intestine. The condition causes intense pain and digestive problems and puts the individual at risk of developing many severe health issues.
UC is an inflammatory bowel disorder that affects the entire colon. It can happen on its own or alongside other inflammatory digestive ailments like Crohn's disease. The health problem can begin at any age, but most patients start experiencing symptoms between the ages of 15 and 30.
The most convenient way to take charge of your health!
Traditional Medical Ulcerative Colitis Treatments
Traditional ulcerative colitis treatments usually consist of medications to control the symptoms and surgery to remove damage as it develops. The drugs used can allow the condition to go into remission for a while, but they are not cures for the disease. Many medications also cause side effects that may increase the risk of other health concerns. Surgery to remove inflamed sections of the large intestine can also initiate remission. However, the surgery risks and the return of the illness make the permanent loss of intestinal tissue a challenge to accept.
Choosing Natural Remedies for Ulcerative Colitis
Anyone reading this page is probably tired of their recurring UC pain and of ineffective medical care. However, covering up the problem by making symptoms stop for a few weeks or months is not enough. People need to heal their bodies to prevent pain and eliminate the risk of severe illnesses from UC in the future.
Natural ulcerative colitis remedies offer that opportunity. The right food, a healthy weight, and regular exercise paired with targeted supplements can make it happen. These methods achieve the goal of relief from chronic conditions because they contribute to keeping the body strong and functioning appropriately.
Dr. Robert Lichtenstein cured his stage 4 cancer twice with these methods. Dr. Lichtenstein is a certified nutritionist (CSN) and a chiropractor who used his training and in-depth research to discover how to strengthen the body so it can heal itself. He helps his patients develop similar plans for their health needs.
UC was a part of my life since I was a teenager. I have tried all the medications the doctors had available. All that was left was surgery, and I was terrified to go under the scalpel. I wanted to be healthy, not just in temporary remission. Finally, a friend talked me into meeting with Dr. Lichtenstein, and I have never regretted it. For the first time in years, there is hope for me to be free of my health problems, and the solution is natural!

Most UC symptoms match those of other digestive diseases. Some are unique to this disease. The most common problems people experience with UC include:
It is unknown why some people develop UC and others do not. Some known causes exist for the condition, but not everyone with the same risk factors develops the disease. Diet and stress can trigger a flare-up but are not known to cause the illness. The most common causes or increased risk factors are:
Ulcerative colitis does not get better on its own, and leaving the condition untreated will allow it to worsen. Serious complications, including death, can occur if people with UC do not attempt to put the symptoms into remission or to make themselves better. Some of the risks of untreated UC include:
