Colitis
Colitis refers to inflammation and swelling of the colon and sometimes large intestine (in ulcerative colitis.) There are many different types linked to a variety of players including autoimmune processes, infection and vascular disease. The form we are concerned with here is autoimmune which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s, as these are the main types of colitis or IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease.)
Traditional medical management of UC and Crohn’s involves use of anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants. Sometimes surgery is used to remove badly diseased tissue.
Dr. Steenblock, who was trained as a pathologist, understands many aspects of the IBS disease process that are sometimes not adequately understood or dealt with by conventional MDs and DOs. He uses these insights plus over 40 years of finding novel treatments to help turn the tables on such things as infections and gut dysbiosis in IBD sufferers. Also, he harvests and gives patients their own stem cell-rich bone marrow tissue. Why should this help? Bone marrow is rich in a particular kind of very versatile stem cell called mesenchymals that dampen autoimmune processes and foster healing & regeneration in colonic and other tissues. These studies illustrate this:
