It may seem odd that an enlarged prostate gland should be mentioned in connection with such a condition as colitis. The strangeness of the mention is increased by the knowledge of the fact that the prostate gland is in no way connected, either in position or in function, with the food digestion canal except for [...]

Rectum Diseases and Colitis Disease
There is a very definite interrelation between rectum diseases and colitis. That this should be so is quite understandable since both the colon and the rectum are parts of the same tube, namely the food digestion canal and the same material which passes through the colon also passes through the rectum. If it be capable [...]
Anemia, Digestive Juices and the Colitis Connection
The blitheness with which some doctors and almost every layman dismiss the condition known as anemia is amazing. “The doctor says I’m just a little anemic” is passed off as practically a clean bill of health. Yet right here is a serious weakening in the first line of defense against disorder and disease. The life [...]
Heart Disease and Colitis
How on earth can colitis cause heart disease? Well, your amazement at this question is just as great as mine was when I first discovered that one of my patients, who had for some time past thought that he was suffering from severe coronary disease (heart disease), discovered that when his colitis had been cured, [...]
Caffiene Coffee Effects – A Friendly Cup of Java
Coffee is a pleasant tasting beverage that damn near kills some people who cannot live without it. At least, these good people think they cannot live without it, and nothing is but what thinking makes it so. What they, of course, fail to realize is that they have allowed coffee drinking to run away with [...]
Stomach Ulcer and Colitis Disease
Is it more than a stomach ulcer? More than one person suffering from colitis has in the course of their quest for successful treatment gone from one doctor to another. In this process, they have learned the truth of the old adage that doctors are prone to disagree. Of course, for that matter so are [...]
Alcohol and Colitis Disease – And a Little Wine for Thy Stomach’s Sake!
In spite of Paul’s well-known admonition to Timothy, “Take a little wine for thy stomach’s sake,” all my experience has been that the milder drinks such as wine and beer have a far more deleterious effect upon the colon than do the stronger ones such as whiskey and rum. There is a good reason for [...]
Eye Diseases and Colitis
“Windows of the soul,” the poet said of the eyes. With this observation we have no quarrel, but from a more practical standÂpoint, doctors have found the eye an extremely important weather vane for the detection of diseases or disturbances elsewhere in the body. Prominent among these are certain disturbances which are due to disturbances [...]
Liver Damage Gall Bladder Disease and Colitis Disease
If you will recall in one of the first posts in how to control a crazy colon I pointed out that the food digestion tract was a hollow tube that passed through our anatomy in a peculiarly intimate manner. In this tube or canal, food was passed on by the act of swallowing and into [...]
Amebic Dysentery and Colitis
The lowly ameba so familiar to high school students in biology has a famous cousin, technically known as the ameba histolytica. This microscopic animal is the cause of amebic dysentery, one of the diseases dreaded by folks who live or travel in the jungle. To anyone acquainted with the tropics and of the difficulties and [...]
