M.D. An article in Lancet shows that feeding normal E. Coli bacteria to people with ulcerative colitis is at least as effective as the conventional treatment for ulcerative colitis. Giving normal E. Coli to a person with ulcerative colitis, causes the normal E. Coli to crowd out the abnormal E. Coli that produce the alpha hemolysin. There are now several studies showing that two antibiotics, metronidazole and Cipro that will control and often cure ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Lancet, in effect, states that most gastroenterologists will not prescribe new treatments until everyone else prescribes them and that I am correct when I treat Crohn's disease with antibiotics. Crohn's disease is bloody diarrhea and intestinal ulcers.
Gastroenterologists are doctors who specialize in diseases of the stomach and intestines.
In 1988, I started to prescribe antibiotics for my patients with stomach ulcers and received numerous calls and letters from gastroenterologists informing me that I was killing people by prescribing antibiotics. For the last 5 years I have been treating my patients with Crohn's disease with two antibiotics called Cipro and metronidazole and curing some. I still receive letters from gastroenterologists who think that antibiotics are ineffective in treating Crohn's disease. Two years ago, researchers in Paris reported that Crohn's disease may be caused by E. Coli, a germ that is normally found in healthy intestines. And that this bacteria is different from all other E. Coli bacteria because it produces an alpha hemolysin that punches holes in the intestines to cause ulcers and bloody diarrhea.
