The Cause of Colitis, IBS, and Crohns Disease Part 1 of 3

Dr Dahlman’s treatment of Colitis, IBS, and Crohn’s Disease is of interest for 3 reasons.
• I like the logic of his arguments about the symptoms which are similar in all three disorders.
• There is agreement with other nutritional positions that give superior health and are found in the scientific literature.
• The 32 page report is long.

It is quite possible that varying symptoms may be present in “normal” people who have problems with heartburn and difficult bowel movements.

These problems may be manageable with over the counter medications, but these symptoms may indicate the beginnings of the disorders indicated above.

And this review is presented for your consideration.

A set of symptoms that can be relieved by making different life-style choices doesn’t qualify as a disease according to some.

This has been said about Obesity and Adult Onset Diabetes. The people with these symptoms can alleviate the symptoms by making certain lifestyle changes.

Colitis, IBS, and Crohn’s Disease are considered a lifestyle dilemma by Dr. Dahlman. And your body is trying to tell you something about your choices.

The Origin of Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Crohn’s

Searching for the cause of a chronic condition is a different mindset than masking a condition with prescription drugs or self-medication. There is a question that must be answered.

What is interfering with the body’s ability to express itself in a healthy fashion?

The main reason for the discomfort of Colitis, IBS, and Crohn’s is the inability to timely digest ingested foods. This results in diarrhea, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain.

The loss of normal bacteria and resultant changes in the chemistry in the digestive tract is the heart of the problem. When proper bacteria are re-established in the colon then the proper chemistry will be evident as the colon heals itself. It takes time and the right materials to re-establish normal metabolic reactions.

The primary reason the population of beneficial bacteria is lost is because of antibiotics. Antibiotic use in humans destroys the proper bacteria in the human intestinal tract.

A normal source of the friendly useful bacteria for the human colon used to be raw whole milk from pasture fed animals.

Antibiotic use in chronically sick cows in today’s confinement dairy industry destroys the natural source of good bacteria in the dairy animal.

Antibiotic use in both systems allows the growth of pathogenic microorganisms because of the destruction of the normal friendly bacteria in milk.

Milk Allergies Come From Pasteurized Milk Obtained From Sick Animals Kept in Confinement Dairies

Part of the treatment involves identifying foods which have caused allergies. These foods must be deleted from the diet during treatment. There are special blood tests that identify foods that complicate recovery from the disorders.

Milk causes problems in Colitis, IBS, and Crohn’s. And it’s not surprising. Milk from the confinement dairy industry is inherently an unhealthy product. It is filled with high levels of hormones to increase milk production in the dairy animals.

The dairy animals are fed an unnatural diet of high protein, soy, high carbohydrate grains, silage, and other materials which have abnormal physiological reactions in the animal’s digestive system.

Infection of the milk with pathogenic bacteria is a result of these practices. Antibiotics are required in efforts to control the nearly constant infection in these animals.

Because of the high rates of bacterial infection tolerated by the government, the milk has to be pasteurized to be “safe”. The high temperatures of pasteurization result in a lot of dead bacteria, and denatured bacterial and milk proteins. And these dead bacteria and denatured proteins produce the allergies for which today’s milk is responsible.

These allergies in humans may develop because of a damaged colon. The damaged colon comes from a bacterial flora that is largely pathogenic microorganisms.

The damaged colon, in Colitis, IBS, and Crohn's, coupled with an inadequate diet, may result in Leaky Gut Syndrome. Undigested materials pass through the intestinal tract wall, into the blood stream, and cause a reaction leading to the production of histamine. Once this happens an additional food allergy has been created.

This milk, produced by the bulk of today’s dairy industry, even though pasteurized, has been responsible for more illness, including deaths, than clean raw whole milk from pasture fed cattle.

Clean raw whole milk from pasture-fed animals does not produce these allergies or large amounts of pathogenic bacteria. Clean raw whole milk from pasture-fed animals naturally contains the needed friendly bacteria necessary for a healthy colon.

Dr. Dahlman proclaimed we’d be better off if each of us had a cow in the backyard and brought milk right to the table. This is in agreement with the Real Milk Campaign of the Weston A. Price Foundation.
