This interview is an excerpt from Kevin Gianni’s The Healthiest Year of Your Life, which can be found at http://thehealthiestyearofyourlife. com. In this excerpt, Jon Barron shares on herbs, supplementation and the scary truths about today’s foods and disease.The Healthiest Year of Your Life crohns disease causeswith Jon Barron, creator of Base Line Nutrition and author of Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Kevin: Sure, you talked about disease and using herbs to help. When does someone know they need to have herbs? I mean, is it just for disease or can people use these things for cleansing? I mean, I think a lot of people get confused as to when they should cleanse or when they should take herbal supplements.Jon: Okay. Let’s actually give a quick look at the base line of health program. The base line of health is sort of a summary of what I learne crohns disease causesuse these things for cleansing? I mean, I think a lot of people get confused as to when they should cleanse or when they should take herbal supplements.Jon: Okay. Let’s actually give a quick look at the base line of health program. The base line of health is sort of a summary of what I learned from virtually all of the doctors. Doctors like Dr. Christopher and Dr. Shultz and guys like that who are doing programs that basically treat people as a whole entity and where it starts is you have to remove the toxins from the body. Basically we are being poisoned all the time now by choices we make and by things we have no control over. There are over a 100,000 new chemicals that are brand new, never existed before that have been introduced into the environment in the last hundred years a crohns disease causesof health is sort of a summary of what I learned from virtually all of the doctors.

There are over a 100,000 new chemicals that are brand new, never existed before that have been introduced into the environment in the last hundred years and they are out of control. You get them in your water, your drinking water. Here’s something a lot of people don’t know is that virtually all tap water that you drink contains traces of pharmaceutical drugs.Kevin: Yeah.Jon: All of the heart medication and cancer medications, so on, and people getting chemo when they urinate it goes out into the water. There is nothing in the treatment system that is designed now to remove those things. The amounts are small and authorities say that crohns disease causeshave to remove the toxins from the body.

Not because it’s most important, but it’ s sort of for two reasons. One, it’s the area that we tend to focus the most abuse of the foods we eat. I’ll give you one great example of that. When I was giving a talk, a pro bono talk in the Virgin Islands a few years back to high school kids, I was trying to talk about health and nutrition and I could see their eyes just rolling up into the back of their heads. They were bored out of their minds.

Okay, have any of you ever helped your parents put up wallpaper? About half of them had and I said, what did you make the wallpaper paste from? It’s made from white flour and water. Okay. So you’re crust is basically wallpaper paste. Let’s talk about the cheese. Have any of you ever used Elmer’s glue? Whose picture is on the front of Elmer’s glue? Elmer the bull.Kevin: Yeah.Jon: Why?

Because all of the forerunners to Elmer’s glue is now made from synthetics but in the early days, all of the glue similar to Elmer’s was basically made from casing, the stuff that makes cheese stringy. So when you eat pizza you are eating wallpaper paste and Elmer’s glue. What do you think the odds of that coming out cleanly are? That’s one of the reasons we have to do intestinal cleansing. Over the years we so abuse that intestinal tract. You’ve got to clean it out and all the other cleans depend on it. Because crohns disease causesJon: No, we know nothing.

Over the years we so abuse that intestinal tract. You’ve got to clean it out and all the other cleans depend on it. Because things like the liver cleans dump out to the bile duct and if you have any blockage in the intestinal tract, the toxins you flush from the liver can’t make it out through the bile duct. They back up into the blood stream and make you feel really ill. After you clean out, you need to do things like rebuild the beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria provide huge functions. Not only in terms of digestion, but they’re actually responsible for about 60% of your immune function. The crohns disease causeswith intestinal cleansing and detoxification.

Antibiotics and chlorine primarily. You drink tap water and you get chlorine in the water. What is the purpose in the chlorine? To kill bacteria. When you drink, it does kill the bacteria in your gut and makes your pores a vacuum and it tends to fill that space with bad guys. The other is antibiotics.

I’ve heard doctors say that you don’t need to supplement if you just eat a balanced diet but what diet are they talking about? Are they talking about the foods that are grown today or that were grown 50 years ago, because there is a huge difference? The green revolution certainly has produced more food but there is crohns disease causesliver can’t make it out through the bile duct. They back up into the blood stream and make you feel really ill. After you clean out, you need to do things like rebuild the beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria provide huge functions. Not only in terms of digestion, but they’re actually responsible for about 60% of your immune function. The simple fact is most people have almost none left.Kevin: Wow.Jon: Why? Antibiotics and chlorine primarily. You drink tap water and you get chlorine in the water. What is the purpose in the chlorine? To kill bacteria. When you drink, it does kill the bacteria in your gut and makes your pores a vacuum and it tends to fill that space with bad guys. The other is antibiotics. If you are buying commercial dairy or meat, it’s packed with antibiotics. That’s designed to, by its name, kill bacteria. So most people are in a state of disbiosis where the beneficial bacteria is virtually gone and they have large amounts of ecoli and other things that at least all the conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease, IVS, ulcer and colitis, colon cancer. Colon cancer virtually unknown 60 or 70 years ago and today it’s the second leading cancer among men and women combined, after lung cancer. The next thing you need to do, you want to start supplementing with enzymes because most people eat – man is the only animal that eats cooked processed food at sustained temperatures of over 118 degrees to destroy enzymes. You have to make up that loss, because food is designed – all food that you eat, if it’s in a raw state, has enzymes necessary for some digestion in the food. You cook it, their gone. You have to make up the difference. What happens is you tend to bump high amounts of stomach acid to compensate and with high amounts your pancreas goes into overdrive to produce digestive enzymes. In the end you burn out your ability to produce hydrochloric acid. That’s of course, along the way, having produced so much that you burned your gut out and had acid reflux and you burn out your pancreas’ ability to produce enzymes. You basically lose the ability to digest food over time. That’s one reason people, as they get older and don’t get nutrition out of their food. You have to change your diet. You cannot keep eating the same stuff that people are eating and think you are going to be well. Most diseases today are self inflicted. One of the great ones is diabetes. Diabetes is a huge, huge epidemic right now. A couple of years ago the U.S. Government came out with a stat, a prediction that said that every child born in the United States today and that was from 2003 I think they did this – that any child born today – would have been 2003 – their odds of being diabetic are 50%. All right so one in three, 50% is either black or Hispanic.Jon: Type two diabetes used to be called adult onset. They got rid of the adult onset, because of diet – kids are getting it now. You’re finding kids – 16, 17, 18 – diabetic and pre-diabetic. All you have to do is understand a sugar soda is just under a teaspoon of sugar for every ounce. So, when you see those kids walking around – 10 year olds with those 32 oz big gulp sodas from the AMP and mini marts and Seven Eleven. There is just under a cup of sugar in that thing.

The green revolution certainly has produced more food but there is a simple logic of mathematics here. You can’t grow more food out of the same land without thinking you are going to trade something off. What we are doing, we are trading off quality for quantity. Foods today don’t have the same amount of vitamins and minerals they had 80 years ago.

Microscopic colitis refers to inflammation of the colon that is only visible when the colon’s lining is examined under a microscope. The appearance of the inner colon lining in microscopic colitis is normal by visual inspection during colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy.

The diagnosis of microscopic colitis is made when a doctor, while performing colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, takes biopsies (small samples of tissue) of the normal-appearing lining, and then examines the biopsies under a microscope. There are two types of microscopic colitis; lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. In lymphocytic colitis, there is an accumulation of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) within the lining of the colon.

In collagenous colitis, there is an additional layer of collagen (scar tissue) just below the lining. Some experts believe that lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis represent different stages of the same disease. The inflammation and the collagen probably interfere with absorption of water from the colon, and cause the diarrhea. The primary symptom of microscopic colitis is chronic, watery diarrhea. Patients with microscopic colitis can have diarrhea for months or years before the diagnosis is made.

This chronic diarrhea of microscopic colitis is different from the acute diarrhea of infectious colitis, which typically lasts only days to weeks. Some patients with microscopic colitis also may report mild abdominal cramps and pain. Blood in the stool is unusual. The prevalence of microscopic colitis in the U.S. is not clearly known.

It is estimated that 10-20% of patients with chronic diarrhea may have microscopic colitis. It is this author’s experience, that the condition is becoming more common in recent years. It is not clear, however, whether there is an actual increase in the frequency of microscopic colitis or whether doctors are just better at diagnosing it.

Microscopic colitis most commonly occurs in middle aged to elderly patients and is more common among women than men. The cause(s) of microscopic colitis is unknown. Some doctors suspect that microscopic colitis is an autoimmune disorder similar to the autoimmune disorders that cause chronic ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease.

The diagnosis of microscopic colitis is made by performing biopsies from different regions of the colon during colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. The abnormalities of the colon’s lining in microscopic colitis occur in a patchy distribution (areas of normal lining may exist adjacent to areas of abnormal lining).

For this reason, multiple biopsies should be taken from several different regions of the colon in order to accurately make a diagnosis. The patchy nature of microscopic colitis also is the reason why flexible sigmoidoscopy often is inadequate in diagnosing the condition because the abnormalities of microscopic colitis may be absent from the sigmoid colon (the colonic segment that is closest to the rectum and is within the reach of a sigmoidoscope) in 30-40% of the patients with microscopic colitis.

Thus, biopsies of other regions of the colon accessible only with colonoscopy may be necessary for diagnosing microscopic colitis.

Erythema elevatum diutinum is a chronic and uncommon dermatosis that is considered to be a variation of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The exect reason of erythema elevatum diutinum is unidentified, although the pathogenesis is believed to be exempt complex-mediated. It can happen crohns disease causesat any age. However, it is mostly an adult disease that occurs from the third to sixth decade of life. Associated infections include bacterial, viral, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and syphilis.

Collagenous colitis is an inflammatory colonic disease with peak incidence in the 5th decade of life, affecting women more than men. Its clinical presentation involves watery diarrhea, usually in the absence of rectal bleeding. It is often classified under the umbrella entity microscopic colitis, along with a related condition, lymphocytic colitis.

On colonoscopy, the mucosa of the colon typically looks normal, but biopsies of affected tissue usually show deposition of collagen in the lamina propria, which is the area of connective tissue between colonic glands. Radiological tests, such as a barium enema are typically normal.

Treatment of collagenous colitis is often challenging, and many agents have been used therapeutically:
•    Bismuth agents, including Pepto-Bismol
•    5-aminosalicylic acid
•    Budesonide
•    Immunosuppressants, including azathioprine
•    Corticosteroids

An association between collagenous colitis and celiac disease has been reported, but there is no evidence that dietary restrictions used in celiac disease management are of benefit in collagenous colitis therapy.There have also been reports of an association between collagenous colitis and lymphoma.

Collagenous colitis (CC) is a recently described clinico-pathologic entity characterized by intractable chronic watery diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain, normal or near normal colonoscopic examination and histologically by a thickened subepithelial collagenous band associated with chronic inflammatory reaction and increased intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltrate in the colonic biopsies. Its pathogenesis remains nclear. We report a rare case of collagenous colitis in which immunohistochemical studies revealed marked deviations from normal in the endocrine elements of the colonic bowel.

To our knowledge this is the first report of such a study in collagenous colitis. Collagenous colitis is inflammation of the colon, the last portion of the digestive tract that ends at the rectum and anus. The most common symptom is chronic watery, non-bloody diarrhoea. In severe cases, the patient may be going to the toilet up to 20 times a day.
Collagenous colitis is a rare condition that affects about four people in every 10,000. It tends to develop in people aged over 40 years. Women outnumber men 20 to one, for reasons that are not clear.

There is no cure but lifestyle changes and medical treatment can manage the symptoms in most cases. Collagenous colitis is sometimes called microscopic colitis. Collagenous colitis seems to occasionally run in families, which suggests a genetic component to the condition.

However, doctors aren’t sure what causes the inflammation. One theory proposes that an unknown virus or bacterium is to blame. Another theory is that collagenous colitis is a type of autoimmune disorder, which means the immune system attacks a healthy part of the body by mistake. Some people with collagenous colitis also have other autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma or Sjogren’s syndrome.

While well known for its effect on blood flow, until now Viagra has not been used to boost circulation in the intestine. That could change with the finding that Viagra can help treat Crohns disease. People with the long-term, inflammatory condition develop holes and ulcers in the intestine.

A team from University College London wondered whether an overactive immune reaction was the problem.The team carried out biopsies on six Crohns disease patients and nine healthy volunteers. The operation triggered an acute immune response in the healthy people, producing white blood cells to heal damage caused by the removal of cells. But the Crohn’s patients responded by producing far lower amounts of white blood cells. The researchers used Viagra to boost blood flow to the intestine in the patients with Crohns disease, thus increasing the flow of white cells to the damaged area.

Researchers in the U.K. have a new theory to explain the cause of Crohns disease, and they say medications like the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra may prove useful for treating the bowel disorder if they are right.In Crohns disease, chronic inflammation causes ulcers within the digestive tract that can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.The most widely accepted theory is that an overactive immune system causes the damaging inflammation.

But researchers from the University College London say the opposite appears to be true.They believe a weaker-than-normal immune response triggers the bowel inflammation that leads to Crohns disease. The researchers tested this theory by treating 10 Crohn’s patients with 50 milligrams of Viagra after injecting them with the killed gut bacteria. They found that blood flow to the infected area improved.

“Increasing blood flow is an important part of the inflammatory response, and that is why this drug may work,” Segal says. “But we don’t yet know if this will give rise to successful treatment. We need to study this further to find out.” The disease usually affects the small intestine and one in every thousand people in the UK is afflicted with this miserable complaint.

But now scientists believe they have found the cause of Crohns disease, and they think it could be treated with Viagra.The team of researchers from University College London say they believe the cause is the opposite of what has been supposed and is triggered by a weak immune system, rather than an overactive one where cells are attacked by the body’s own immune system.

Crohn’s was previously thought to be an auto-immune disease and was treated with immuno-suppressant drugs. But the researchers led by Anthony Segal and colleagues have discovered that people with Crohn’s have a weak and unresponsive immune system which does not repair damage easily. They say the flow of blood to damaged cells is substantially reduced, and a drug such as Viagra, best known for its effects on erectile dysfunction, could help the healing process as it stimulates blood flow.

Since it was identified in the 1920s there have been many theories as to the cause of Crohn’s and it was often compared with tuberculosis, but attempts to find an infectious agent have failed.
The research team compared the immune system response of Crohn’s patients and healthy individuals to minor injuries, such as skin abrasions and discovered a difference in the number of white blood cells called neutrophils produced by the body to heal the damage in the bowel and on the surface of the skin.
