I meant to add, I also think Crohns/Psoriasis/Eczema are all fundamentally a gut problem - I see them as a variation in severity of the same problem. I've really only concentrated on psoriasis in my reading but the other diseases keep cropping up in passing and I'm convinced they share the same or similar causes. Not that I'm a doctor, but that doesn't mean anything because all you get from the doctors is "We really don't understand the cause of xyz". Cynical me huh? But I tried their treatment and it didn't work so have had to find my own solution. So doctors can have their opinion and I will have mine.
Hi Alan, I agree with you completely. All of the "auto-immune disorders" I personally think have a similar root cause. And I think it has a lot to do with the modern diet. So much processed, dead filler; not much real live food - fuel for our bodies. I'm hoping that adding some lacto-fermented organic vegetables will help even more, especially my daughter. How awful for her, at 26, to have this very frightening disease. My theory is that antibiotic use upsets our natural balance. She had open heart surgery 10 years ago, and of course large doses of antibiotics.
So I'm on a crazy back-to-basics kick, trying to eat like our grandparents did!
