| FEATURED STORIES |
|
CASE 1: Colostomy avoided in Ulcerative Colitis patient
G. Joseph, MD from AZ, had a 55 y/o/m patient who had a constant flare up of Ulcerative Colitis. His other physician tried all remedies, including high doses of Prednisone, an anti-inflammatory steroid, combined with Sulfazalizine, a sulfa drug for ulcerative colitis, to no avail. Tests already showed signs of precancerous cells. He had already been bleeding from his rectum for a solid year and had exhausted all remedies. He was already scheduled for a colostomy when he met Dr. Chi. Unaware of his condition, Dr. Chi accurately pinpointed his colon problem. He told the patient to try Digestron, GI Chi, Psoricaid and Asparagus Extract before undergoing colostomy. To his happy surprise, his bleeding stopped after 30 days on the supplements. And he was able to stop Prednisone completely for the first time in 9 years. He was able to avoid colostomy altogether. Two years later, he still has his colon and leading a very normal life. “
It has been 2 ½ years wondering if the Ulcerative Colitis would flare up again before I gave my testimonial. I am happy to report that it has not since returned. Thank God for Dr. Chi, my very warmest ‘Thank you,’ Dr. Chi. You saved my guts."
CASE 2: Evaluation of Physical Markers and Symptoms in Ulcerative Colitis Patient
M.V., 4-year-old male from California, has had low energy for about 7 years, usually needing to sleep until 11:00 am. He also has chronic infection, for which he uses antibiotics and antifungals. Upon evaluation, he has multiple markers indicating digestive issues ( Table 1). He has a geographic tongue (white coating on center) with many cracks ( Figure 1).Cracks definitely signal a digestive issue. The geographic tongue suggests an inflammatory bowel disease. He does have a lump on his frenulum ( Figure 2), suggesting a colon problem. His clinical data show that his red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit and iron levels are low, suggesting anemia. This may be due to bleeding in his colon, signified by the blood in his stool (black lines on nails signify bleeding, Figure 3).
His tongue was also red, suggesting inflammation and/or infection. Indeed, he has an inflammatory condition, colitis, as well as chronic infection (overgrowth of bacterial in his stool). He is also estrogen dominant (cherry angiomas on hisabdomen), which is very much related to colon issues. He confirmed that his luteinizing hormone (LH) level is high. In males, LH promotes the production of testosterone, which in turn is converted to estrogen. High estrogen has been linked to autoimmune conditions, including ulcerative colitis. Colitis can then promote anemia when there is bleeding, like in his case. High estrogen also affects liver function. Both anemia and impaired liver function can lead to low energy, which would explain his chronic fatigue ( Figure 4).

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES (IBD): CROHN'S DISEASE, ULCERATIVE COLITIS |
Inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS) is chronic inflammation affecting any part of the digestive tract. The most common types are Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis. Crohn’s disease affects the small intestines or the large intestines or both. Ulcerative colitis, on the other hand, affects the large intestines (colon) and rectum. Diverticulitis is inflammation or infection that develops in pouches that form in the walls of the colon.
IBD SYMPTOMS AND MARKERS
Common symptoms of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis include the following:
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Diarrhea - In some cases, an affected person may have multiple bowel movements daily
- Blood in the stool
- Loss of appetite
- Unintended weight loss
- Itchiness or pain around the anus is also prevalent among Crohn’s sufferers.
You can also look for physical markers that indicate irritable bowel disease. In our second featured story, for example, the patient has a geographic tongue, cracks on the tongue and a cyst on the frenulum, all of which point toward his colitis problem.
Cyst on the frenulum (Colon)
In our October 2, 2015 Chi Health Letter issue, we discussed the presence of a cyst on the frenulum (Figure 2), the thin tissue connecting the upper lip to the upper gum, as an indication of a colon problem.
Geographic tongue (Lungs, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease)
A geographic tongue is characterized by a map-like, patchy-looking appearance due to loss of coating in certain areas (Figure 5). It is associated with respiratory issues (asthma or sinusitis). But, after ruling out lung issues, and if there are cracks on the tongue and/or if you already have digestive symptoms, it indicates inflammatory digestive diseases such as Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. For example, Figure 5 shows a geographic tongue with cracks on the tongue so this indicates an inflammatory bowel disease. Another example is Case 2 above. the patient has a geographic tongue but doesn’t have respiratory issues. However, combining that marker to the presence of cracks on his tongue, a cyst on the frenulum and blood in the stool indicates colitis.
Black Lines on Nails (Bleeding)
Black lines on the nails that move as the nails grow indicate bleeding (Figure 3). If you also have a cyst on the frenulum, then the bleeding is in the colon.
Bleeding in the intestines may be seen as blood in the stool. But minor bleeding may not show up in the stool at all. About 20% of patients with occult blood have colon cancer.
If the lines are tiny, then bleeding could be due to hemorrhoids. If there are multiple black lines on a single nail or multiple lines on multiple nails and there is a cyst in the frenulum and cracks on the tongue, the condition is much more severe.
In some cases of inflammatory bowel disease, bleeding may already be involved. We see this in the following cases.
- At the New Jersey Holistic Association annual convention headed by chairman Dr. Thomas Hafner, ND, DDS, Dr. Chi was the afternoon keynote speaker and Dr. John Lee (Harvard, pioneer of progesterone for women) was the morning keynote speaker. During the banquet held in their honor, one medical doctor shared his experience with Dr. Chi’s analysis. He relates that years before he already had a cyst on his frenulum and many black lines on his nails. Despite being told of his risk for colon bleeding, he did not take any action. Then, one morning, during his bowel movement, he had major breakthrough bleeding. Tests found that he had a ruptured colon.
- F. Lam, MD from HI, had black lines on his nails and was told of his risk for colon bleeding. Not long after the analysis, he checked for blood in the stool using a home test kit and it did turn blue, testing positive for blood in the stool.
- C. Chrencich, D.C., from Alabama, had a patient who suffered from diverticulitis; however, he could not have surgery because he had anemia. He had a cyst on his frenulum and black lines running vertically along his fingernails, which indicates intestinal bleeding. The inflamed pouches in his colon (diverticulitis) may have ruptured and caused the bleeding. His hematocrit was 26. He then started using Chi-F, Chi Energy, GI Chi, Digestron and the Mineral Infrared Therapy (MIT). Four months later, his hematocrit increased to 36 and his diverticulosis improved so he did not need colon surgery.

CROHN'S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS INCREASES RISK OF COLORECTAL CANCER |
|
Studies show that people who have had Crohn’s disease for more than 30 years have a 20% increased risk for colorectal cancer. Similarly, those who have had ulcerative colitis for more than 10 years are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. We see this in the first featured story above. The patient has chronic ulcerative colitis that has already progressed to bleeding. Indeed, a test showed that he has precancerous cells already forming. Just like in his case where he was able to avoid colostomy, it is important to address the problem and try to reduce flare ups to minimize damage to the colon.

IBD RELATED TO AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES |
|
Studies show that there is a higher incidence of autoimmune problems in people with Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and diverticulitis suggesting that these conditions may be autoimmune in nature. In fact, one of the approved drugs for Crohn’s disease is TNF alpha inhibitor. TNF alpha is an inflammatory cytokine overexpressed in many autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and chronic eczema. It is overexpressed in Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis as well.
For irritable bowel disease like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, GI Chi, Digestron and Psoricaid are recommended.
- GI Chi is a supplement with natural anti-inflammatory properties specific to the GI tract.
- Digestron has been proven to be effective for many digestive issues, including inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Psoricaid naturally inhibits the cytokine, TNF alpha, to reduce inflammation.

GI CHI (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Diverticulitis) |
|
GI CHI contains herbs traditionally used for various gastrointestinal conditions. It has mostly been used for inflammatory diseases such as chronic colitis, irritable bowel syndrome Crohn’s disease and diverticulitis.
It has also been recommended for GI infections and diarrhea. GI Chi has anti-microbial effect against bacteria such as E. coli, Streptococcus, and Spirillum. One of its herbs, in particular, has anti-pathogenic activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi (candida), protozoans (trichomonads), helminths, and Chlamydia. For best results, GI Chi should be taken immediately at the first sign of a GI infection.
G. Weinand, ND from CA, has a female patient in her 60s with chronic diarrhea for over 10 years, a sign of inflammatory bowel disease. She has tried everything but without much success. Then she tried GI Chi. She says that only GI Chi works for her diarrhea.

DIGESTRON (GERD, Digestive Ulcers, Irritable Bowel Disease) |
|
In our September 25, 2015 issue of the Chi Health Letter, we discussed the mechanisms of Digestron on the gastrointestinal tract. To reiterate, it has inhibitory effect on the H. pylori bacteria (common in ulcers and reflux). It also repairs damage to the intestinal mucosa and well as balances stomach acid. These functions make Digestron beneficial for acid reflux and digestive ulcers.
Digestron is recommended for irritable bowel disease as well in combination with GI Chi and Psoricaid. In a clinical study, Digestron was 50.5% effective for irritable bowel syndrome after 3 months of use (Table 2). For colitis, it was 40.3% effective. When GI Chi and Psoricaid are added, the effect would be even better.
J. Iannetta, DC from ME, has a 40 y/o/m patient diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and was using steroids for medication. The patient could not conceive a child due to lack of sperm production. The steroids were discontinued and Digestron, Psoricaid and GI Chi were recommended. The patient’s Crohn’s disease subsided.

| SUMMARY |
|
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases like Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis are often symptomatic, with diarrhea and abdominal pain as the most common symptoms. Bleeding, which can manifest as black lines in the nails, may already be a sign of a serious problem especially if there is also a cyst on the frenulum and cracks on the tongue. About 20% of people with blood in the stool may already have colon cancer.
In the absence of a respiratory problem, a geographic tongue with cracks on the tongue can also indicate inflammatory bowel diseases.
For Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, take GI Chi, Digestron and Psoricaid to reduce inflammation and damage in the digestive tract.
