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.

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.

The goal of the surgery is to keep as much of the healthy bowel as possible. In particular, removing long segments of the small intestine is avoided because it can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Crohn’s disease is a life-long illness. The severity of the disease can vary, and a patient can experience periods of time when the disease is not active and he or she is symptom free. However, the complications and risks of Crohn’s disease tend to increase over time. Well over 60% of all patients with Crohn’s disease will require surgery, and about half of these patients will require more than one operation over time. About 5-10% of all Crohn’s patients will die of their disease, primarily due to massive infection.

Endoscope
A medical instrument that can be passed into an area of the body (the bladder or intestine, for example) to allow examination of that area. The endoscope usually has a fiber-optic camera that allows a greatly magnified image to be shown on a television screen viewed by the operator. Many endoscopes also allow the operator to retrieve a small sample (biopsy) of the area being examined, to more closely view the tissue under a microscope.

Fistule
An abnormal channel that creates an open passageway between two structures that do not normally connect.

Gastrointestinal tract
The entire length of the digestive system, running from the stomach, through the small intestine, large intestine, and out the rectum and anus.

Immune system

Crohns disease is a life-long illness. The severity of the disease can vary, and a patient can experience periods of time when the disease is not active and he or she is symptom free. However, the complications and risks of Crohns disease tend to increase over time. Well over 60% of all patients with Crohns disease will require surgery, and about half of these patients will require more than one operation over time. About 5-10% of all Crohn’s patients will die of their disease, primarily due to massive infection.

Endoscope
A medical instrument that can be passed into an area of the body (the bladder or intestine, for example) to allow examination of that area. The endoscope usually has a fiber-optic camera that allows a greatly magnified image to be shown on a television screen viewed by the operator. Many endoscopes also allow the operator to retrieve a small sample (biopsy) of the area being examined, to more closely view the tissue under a microscope.

Fistule
An abnormal channel that creates an open passageway between two structures that do not normally connect.

Gastrointestinal tract
The entire length of the digestive system, running from the stomach, through the small intestine, large intestine, and out the rectum and anus.

Immune system
The body system responsible for producing various cells and chemicals that fight infection by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other foreign invaders. In autoimmune disease, these cells and chemicals turn against the body itself.

Inflammation
The result of the body’s attempts to fight off and wall off an area that is infected. Inflammation results in the classic signs of redness, heat, swelling, and loss of function.

Obstruction
A blockage.

Ulceration
A pitted area or break in the continuity of a surface such as skin or mucous membrane.

Some people have long periods of remission, sometimes years, when they are free of symptoms. However, the disease usually recurs at various times over a person’s lifetime. This changing pattern of the disease means one cannot always tell when a treatment has helped. Predicting when a remission may occur or when symptoms will return is not possible.)

People with Crohns disease may feel well and be free of symptoms for substantial spans of time when their disease is not active. Despite the need to take medication for long periods of time and occasional hospitalizations, most people with Crohns disease are able to hold jobs, raise families, and function successfully at home and in society.
