Root Cause Treatment for Crohn’s and Colitis

Rates of IBD in North America are skyrocketing. With a shocking increase of 43% of new cases since 2006!

That’s one person being diagnosed every 48 minutes!

Currently, even with the exceptional care of dedicated doctors, new medical advances and millions of dollars spent trying to untangle this complicated condition, a diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is dismal.

Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are no longer thought of as an autoimmune disease.

Instead, IBD is thought to occur in people with a genetic predisposition who develope epithelial barrier defects, microbiota changes and a dysregulated immune response following an unknown environmental exposure

Living with IBD is like walking a tight rope everyday of your life; never really feeling safe in your own body. Not knowing how close you are to being hospitalized or needing more medication. We spend countless hours working on our health only to find ourselves falling deeper into disease progression. The pain of living with Crohn’s and Colitis is unbearable most days. The fear and trauma around navigating life with this condition alone is devastating. People are forced to choose between harsh medications, irreversible surgeries, having vital organs removed OR dying from the various complications that can arise.

Most patients are NOT satisfied with the treatment options available. It is becoming increasingly more apparent that we can no longer accept the conventional model of treatment as a long term strategy-Doctors need more tools to help their patients find lasting healing.

We are a group of individuals who have come together after finding relief from our symptoms of Crohn’s and Colitis in working with Functional Medicine Doctors who took a whole body, root cause approach to addressing our disease. While this has not cured us, it has allowed us to be less dependent on medications and take control back over our health.

The current medical model of care for Crohn’s and Colitis is 10+ years behind the clinical work that Functional Medicine Doctors are doing now, in real time. They understand the underlying mechanisms of this disease and are actively collaborating on a global level to find root cause strategies to treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

In utilizing a Functional Medicine Approach to address environmental factors such as Infections, Mold, Heavy Metals and Pesticides-Alongside innovative treatments to conquer immune suppression, infectious burden, dysbiosis and gastrointestinal lining permeability-We may have a replicable and promising treatment plan that could potentially lead to a curative therapy for Crohn’s and Colitis.

We are actively working towards funding research, round table events and online educational seminars.

It is our goal to align research groups and gastroenterologists with Functional Medicine Doctors to streamline treatments that can be implemented within the field of gastroenterology.

Please consider signing up to help with our efforts, donating or aligning with us to share this message of hope.

All proceeds will go towards research into a root cause approach to addressing and treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

A cure is coming.

With great hope,

Alli, Lauren, Heidi and Isabella
