Healing from inflammation of the large intestine (Ulcerative Colitis)

Horst Ramisch (64), Berlin-Marzahn (Germany)

Since my wife died in 1991 I was in a constant state of stress: the loss, household, work and family. In April 1996 I noticed I was increasingly anxious. I also suddenly had three or four very loose stools. In the beginning of May there was also blood in the stools. First I thought it was hemorrhoids. But when the stools, mixed with blood squirted out of me, as though under pressure five to six times a day, I went to my family doctor. I couldn't go to work anymore and hardly left the house. I spent the days and nights lying on the couch or in bed, only interrupted by visits to the toilet. Due to my utter weakness and lack of energy my children had to look after the household. All I wanted was to be left in peace. I didn't stick to the prescribed diet. After a colonoscopy I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory disease of the large bowel. I was given Salofalk 500 in suppository form and Salofalk (Klysma) for the nights because of the problems. But the treatment didn't give me any relief. The stools continued to be loose, mixed with blood, five to seven times a day. But as I was worried about my situation, I kept taking the prescribed medication.
