Enlarged Prostate Gland – The Colitis Connection

col | August 23, 2010 | 0 Comments

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 [...]

Heart Disease and Colitis

col | August 1, 2010 | 0 Comments

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, [...]

“Windows of the soul,” the poet said of the eyes. With this observation we have no quarrel, but from a more practical stand­point, 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 within [...]

Did you ever hear the expression, “He drives me crazy”? Well, there is a very sound basis for the charge. We live in a world where emotional vibrations have effects upon our physical beings.

Elsewhere in this blog, I have made the statement that the most dangerous stage in the course of the disease known as colitis is when the patient feels well. This may sound paradoxical but it is nevertheless true. It is true for the reason that this is the very time that the patient feels that [...]

Can Other Conditions Be Mistaken For Colitis?

col | May 3, 2010 | 3 Comments

Can other conditions be mistaken for colitis disease? Most assuredly they can and, in the past, most assuredly have been. Perhaps it is for this reason that colitis, as a distinct disease, has been late coming of age. Indeed, certain observations made in the course of many years of practice have led me to suspect [...]

Beverage types that can be classified as colitis causes.

Cold Drinks
