Ulcerative Colitis

3 Phase Treatment Protocol

Get Excited...This Time:

The most discouraging aspect of finding an effective treatment for Ulcerative Colitis deals with trying to balance the urgent need you have to do something with not falling prey to all of the sensational claims of “cures.” By this time you have more than likely realized that medicine can only possibly work to delay the inevitable progression of this horrifying disease. Coupled with the very dangerous and real side-effects caused by the powerful drugs utilized to treat Ulcerative Colitis, you are left with only one of two choices. Either you sit back and do nothing waiting for the inevitably unwanted outcome of this disease or you research a “cure” on your own. The later is usually an exercise in frustration since you are typically relegated to searching the web to try as many of the self-proclaimed miracle products or diets as you can afford. Every false cure you try leaves you a little more discouraged and eventually leads to a heightened sense of apprehension, as well as, a deep feeling of hopelessness.

It is time for you to stop the insanity of looking for a product or procedure that will cure your Ulcerative Colitis. The reason why I tell you to “get excited” is because I guarantee you this protocol is unlike anything you have ever tried in the past to change the course and progression of your Ulcerative Colitis. It is the most comprehensive treatment protocol offered to patients with autoimmune disease and is based upon sound scientific findings, clinical experience, and good old fashion common sense. So, get excited because you are going to be exposed to the first treatment protocol that will make sense to you at a core level. You are about to become empowered with the knowledge that you can indeed exercise control over the progression of your Ulcerative Colitis.

Setting Your Expectations…

This protocol is based upon two principles, which if not followed will guarantee that your expectations will not be met. If, however, you are willing to take control and work hard you will not be disappointed.

The first principle is you have to understand the “why” and the “what” for this protocol. In other words, you have to push yourself to learn and fully understand the underlying reasoning behind the protocol you are about to undertake. This is important because we are not dealing in magic here. I refuse to make promises of a quick cure to prey upon your heart felt desire to get better. It may take time for you to see this ship turn around and if you understand the “why” and the “what” you will not jump ship before it gets into the port of good health! No more crossing your fingers, shelling out big bucks and waiting for results that will never come. The second principle is you have to be willing to do more than throw pills and powders down your throat. You have to make meaningful changes regarding many aspects of your life including food choices, stress control and activity levels.

This is where I come in to be your coach and guide. My job is to give you direction, make sure you fully understand why you should go in that direction, and then give you what you need to make the journey. Notice I used the word “journey” in the last sentence. This word implies that you may need to change directions because of unforeseen obstacles or because the vehicle you started with may not be able to get you where you need to go. Imagine you are driving a car towards your destination but you need to get past a body of water to get to where you are headed. If you stay in your car you will never get there. Additionally, your journey may require the use of a helicopter to access remote areas along your way. My point is most of the supplements and protocols you have tried in the past only gave you a car and some gas. Chances were that you needed more than a car and/or you were not given enough gas! Actually, some probably only gave you a unicycle.

This is why my protocol has proven to be different and will supply you with multiple vehicles needed to complete your journey. Keep in mind YOU have to pilot the craft! If you do not know how to fly a helicopter you better darn well be willing to learn if you want to get where you need to go. Will it be easy all of the time? Probably not! My job will be to supply you with what you need to accomplish the task. Your job will be to do the work needed to reach your goal. If you are lazy, lack motivation, or are looking for a quick cure for Crohn's save both of us some time and stop reading right now. If, however, you have had enough and are willing to do whatever it takes to once again become the mother/father, wife/husband or active person you can now only dream about; we need to partner up! You will get more information about how to set up either a phone or in-person Ulcerative Colitis consult with me when you recieve the treatment protocol.

The reality check is that Ulcerative Colitis is a condition that takes many years, if not decades, to develop. It is important for you to understand that although your significant symptoms may seem to have developed in a relatively quick manner, the disease itself did not. Your system became imbalanced a long time ago.

Thus, it is important for you to not expect all of your symptoms to go away immediately. It is very possible that you will experience a significant reduction in your symptoms in only 3-4 weeks of following this protocol. It is highly probable that you will gain the most pronounced benefits after following the protocol for a number of months or even a year. I cannot emphasis enough that your mindset needs to be one of changing your lifestyle and not one of trying to endure a short-term program. Again, the way you accomplish this is by forcing yourself to understand the “why” and the “what” for this protocol at a deeper level. The attitude of taking something and then waiting for the magic to occur will not cut it if you are to gain ground on returning your body to vibrant health. Get ready to learn...

Rationale for Performing This Protocol...

Autoimmune Disease 101

Autoimmune diseases, like Ulcerative Colitis, are curious indeed. The picture you have more than likely been painted is one of your immune system becoming confused and overactive with the result being that your own tissue has become the target of attack. In other words, for some seemingly unknown reason your immune system has decided that it can’t stand you any longer and wants a divorce. Viewing Ulcerative Colitis in this manner leads to the attitude that the appropriate treatment is to stop the immune system’s over-activity which underlies the logic of the dangerous medical therapies available to you. You have no choice but to inhibit or destroy the activity of your immune system in order to stop the resulting symptoms. The problem is that the treatment can, for some, be worse than the disease. For others, this treatment leaves you without a chance of disease resolution and it only acts to temporarily strengthen the finger nails by which you are holding on. Trust me…they are going to eventually break!

I want to give you a different way to think about the causal mechanisms of your Ulcerative Colitis. What if your immune system is not working inappropriately? What if your immune system is accomplishing exactly what it should and is effectively destroying foreign material. Is it possible that what use to be you has now become foreign and unrecognizable? And, if this is occurring the question of why this is occurring has to be asked. I am going to give you some logical evidence to suggest that your immune system is not broken but is doing exactly as it should. It is protecting you from foreign material and parts of you have indeed become alien. My position is traditional medicine looks at Ulcerative Colitis in the wrong way which is limiting the effective treatment of your condition.

Logical Causes of Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune disease is probably one of the least understood common diseases. This is shocking since so many Americans are suffering. The only thing everyone agrees upon is that there is no one cause to any autoimmune disease and this includes Ulcerative Colitis. The causes of autoimmune diseases, like Ulcerative Colitis, are varied depending upon the individual. What seems to trigger the disease in one person will not in another. This is the very reason why you cannot “cure” your disease with any one or two drugs or supplements.

I am going to boldly tell you that autoimmune disease is indeed caused by common factors in our population. And, these factors can be controlled. But, you may ask, what about genetics? Do not a person’s genes pre-determine their eventual development of disease? The answer is a resounding: NO! I love the saying, “Genetics loads your gun but it is the environment that pulls the trigger!” In other words, you may indeed have a genetic alteration which may make you more susceptible to developing Ulcerative Colitis. But, many others have the same alterations and never develop the disease. It is clearly environmental influences that set the disease into its active mode.

So, what are the environmental factors that influenced your developing of the constellation of symptoms we like to call Ulcerative Colitis? I am going to propose three major factors that could have contributed to your eventual diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis.

None of these seem earth-shattering on the surface. However, you are about to learn exactly how long-term dysfunctions in these three areas can cause autoimmune disease. More importantly, though, is that the reversal of these faults can halt the progression of your disease and in some cases cause your doctor to proclaim that they must have “misdiagnosed” your Ulcerative Colitis when symptoms disappear!

The Development of Chronic Systemic Inflammation

It is extremely important for you to understand that inflammation is needed for your body to function properly. Inflammation is a very good thing because it is how your body accomplishes the task of constant tissue repair. The total disruption of inflammation would lead to a quick death. But, like everything else in this amazing body of ours, proper balance is needed. Too little or too much of anything eventually causes dysfunction. This makes sense at a very basic level; does it not?

There are a number of factors that contribute to the unrelenting signaling of alarm in the body ultimately leading to the development of continuous inflammation. These are all environmental and can be controlled! These are summarized in the below table:

Reflect upon how many of the above factors affect your life. Now, imagine if this constant signaling of alarm to your immune system is coupled with the very real possibility that you may indeed have some genetic alterations in your body. Depending upon your genetic uniqueness, does it not make sense that you may eventually experience some type of symptoms? The symptoms you will experience from this situation will depend upon the length of time and intensity of the immune insult and your unique genetic alterations. So, in one person we call the symptoms that eventually develop M.S., in another it is called Lupus, and in a different bag of chemistry it is named Ulcerative Colitis.

Can you imagine your body being subjected to alarm day in and out for years? Can you picture your immune system that becomes rightfully over-active as certain tissues become altered thanks to the unrelenting damage? I again ask you; does it not make sense at a very basic level that this described long-term imbalance could lead to disease?

It does make sense and it has occurred in your body. The fault needs to be corrected or you will never regain health. Medicine continues to look for the one causative factor in each disease so they can come up with a drug to treat that one factor. Medicine is going down the wrong road. Medicine has missed the boat!

Digestive Dysfunctions

The second major factor that may be contributing to your Ulcerative Colitis is improper digestion. Now this seems like a no-brainer since Crohn's is an inflammatory bowel disease. However, I have had many patients be told by medical doctor Crohn's "specialists" that diet has little to do with the disease. I will say point blank that they are dead wrong! Eating the right foods is essential for you to heal your gut. The Crohn's 3 Phase Protocol will go over diet in detail.

You have to understand that the Lord put close to 60% of your immune around your digestive system. Most people do not realize the tube from the mouth down to the bottom exit is considered to be outside of the body. This all important tube is charged with regulating what gets into the body and what does not. When something gets in that should not have, the immune system is there to protect and serve.

Now visualize a situation where the proper function of this system has been disrupted due to antibiotic use causing bacterial/yeast imbalances, constant stress causing an inhibitory signal to proper digestion, day to day insult and challenge due to food allergies, or the use of drugs (both prescription and over-the-counter) causing actual cellular damage. Can you imagine a system that begins to lose control over what gets in and what does not? Can you see where the penetration of unwanted substances would lead to over-activation of the immune system? Does it make sense to you that this constant stimulation could lead to the immune system eventually reacting against substances that were previously benign? Does it also not make sense that these changes in the environment of the gut could eventually lead to localized ulceration and inflammation?

In addition to the constant insult to the immune system this digestive dysfunction can lead to nutrient depletion and eventual deficiencies. The very nutrients needed for the proper function and repair of your cells become unavailable. The body adapts for survival but has become imbalanced.

The failure to normalize your digestion will ensure that your Ulcerative Colitis symptoms will never improve to any great extent!

Toxic Exposures

We live in the chemical age. Your body is subjected to a constant barrage of toxins all day and every day. This toxic insult includes the exposures you have to pesticides, herbicides, chemicals added to foods, chemicals found in the air, the taking of various drugs, and heavy metal exposure (mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.), to name just a few. In addition to all of this, your body is naturally creating toxic by-products from the everyday reactions needed to keep you alive. All of these substances need to be detoxified. If they are not they cause damage to your cells.

What if your body’s detoxification system becomes over-whelmed by the shear volume of the toxic load? The system relies heavily upon a good supply of proper nutrients coming from the digestive system. What if digestive dysfunction leads to nutrient deficiencies for the factors needed to perform proper detoxification? Is it possible that your body will fail to rid itself of these potentially harmful substances in a timely fashion? I think the clear answers to all of these questions suggest the possibility that the inability to detoxify your system properly can lead to cellular harm.

Now, guess what occurs when this harm is put upon your cells? Your immune system activates to repair or destroy depending upon the situation. Again, does it make sense that the constant stimulation of your immune system by toxic exposures could contribute in a negative way to the progression of your Ulcerative Colitis? You bet it can and it does!

The proper treatment of your condition requires we improve your system of detoxification.

Dr. Zimmer’s 3 Phase Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

Hopefully, the information I have given you has caused you to consider that you did not develop Ulcerative Colitis out of the blue. This is a complex disease process influenced by many factors and is the result of the long term insults and imbalances caused by inflammatory stimuli, poor digestive function, toxic exposures, and genetic alterations. As such, can you see that pursuing treatments relying upon the taking of any number of drugs or supplements cannot be successful at correcting these long standing imbalances? Relying on these systems of treatment is an exercise in futility!

You have to change your mind-set and start healing your body by addressing all of the factors outlined in this article. It is going to take dedication and work on your part. Are you willing to do what it takes to get well? Are you willing to push yourself to learn and understand? My hand is extended out to help.
