when I was getting diagnosed with crohns. One of the thoughts was that I had hepatitis, I did have an inflammed liver, so yes. My immediate response was that I had gotten the vaccines for hep a,b,c. I was going to mexico, so it was to be safe but that was a few years earlier.. But there are many different ways for the inflammation. long story short... crohns. aka inflammatory bowel. I then spent years looking to understand crohns and all the recent research. Notably, it is correct that inflammation is the cause of many if not all of these diseases. But the obvious question is what's causing the inflammation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_Crohn%27s_disease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_Crohn%27s_diseas... Pretty extensive article and I didn't try any of the extreme things. I abided basically everything I could here. Which did improve the situation, chemo was probably the best but lots of major consequences, cannabis was probably the best overall with only minor addiction problems. But did let me figure out what isn't on this page. Basically figured out the cure to crohns, but what's super annoying was that... how did my GI doctor never talk to me about this? If he told people the cure, he'd be out of a job basically? So I post my idea to reddit and crohns forum and I get banned for medical misinformation. Kind of surprising... So then I went backwards, if this is the cause of crohns, what else might happen. I then figured yes for sure UC and rheumatoid arthritis are just the same thing. But also almost certainly lupus, celiac, etc. So yes, the myriad of chronic inflammatory conditions are caused by what causes the inflammation but for some reason nobody wants to know. I remember when Jeff Geerling had his crohns problems recentlyish, I posted here the cure and got flagged and shit on. Very illogical to me, but alas I'm just a programmer and not some doctor. So whatever.

It seems like (if I'm reading it right) you cured yourself so congrats on that. Do note that unless you somehow cured at least a couple other people with Crohns using your method, it's quite possible that it only works for a small number of people (of which you are one), or even that you somehow had a mistaken understanding of the causation (i.e. something else cured it). I personally don't think it's a big deal, but there might be a risk of others trying your method and getting adverse results (I don't know what it involves so I'm just speculating here). Some people are offended that chronic disease patients with some intelligence can know their disease better than specialist doctors though. I never understood this reaction, I guess it's just some kind of gatekeeping that every profession has...

  I'm not anything special. There are tons of people who are curing their crohns almost accidentally via other paths who just so happen to stumble into the cure because they threw a wide net. It'snot like I'm the only person ever to have considered it neither. Easy to find after you realize, so it's certainly well within the 'many many others curing themselves'. But you look at crohns forum and it's almost as if medication, surgery, and diet are the only options? Like what? Not even the wiki page is that limited. >Some people are offended that chronic disease patients with some intelligence can know their disease better than specialist doctors though. I never understood this reaction, I guess it's just some kind of gatekeeping that every profession has... That makes sense to me. For me, I just went and read every single science article available. I also have a great option to experiment on myself. Do something silly for a week or month and see how it works out. Journal and track how it goes. I figure I'm sort of half way alleging a conspiracy, but I really don't think so, there is no Illuminati who want crohns disease to get worse. I must say, my poos are so much better after lol. I'm also trans and I find the same thing, the communities are super hostile to anything which might end it because they get their identity from it. Not that I'm saying there's a cure to being trans/autistic. That happens pre-natal exposure.

This comment is pretty long. I'm just trying to distill it. Are you saying you cured Crohns disease with chemotherapy and marijuana? Or are there other big things you did that you haven't mentioned?

  Sorry, I was a bit vague. Chemo and cannabis arent the cure.
