Scott, Crohn's is caused by diet and infection. The boy shouldn't need any surgery to remove essential parts of his bowel if he does a health program and then continues eating right.
96% of Crohn's cases have a dysbiosis component, which once relieved, reduces much inflammation that was produced by the wrong fluorish of bacteria. Feeding the probiotic bowel organisms with inulin (in situ) controls the toxin-producers and pathogens. The science is well-covered in the inulin refernces section on my website. A high percentage of adults eat vastly too much omega-6 oil, and Crohn's often comes up as a result. The link between inflammation due to fatty acids imbalance and bowel irritation such as Crohn's is detailed in Chilton's book Inflammation Nation. Reducing inflammatory omega-6 oils and increasing EPA and DHA (not flax oil) reduces this kind of inflammation. Much published information regarding Crohn's and infection, and Crohn's and inflammation, appears in my coconut oil references on my website (on the coconut oil page). Free radical damage aggravates any inflammatory condition, and using cold-extracted whey powder produces antioxidants that quenches inflammation as well as tones the immune response down in Crohn's cases. Glutathione works in conjunction with the other antioxidants. Prewritten queries into the science are on my website on my glutathione references page; note that Cohn' and colitis have their own heading. The argument for a Budwig Diet revision, which uses cold- processed whey and cod liver oil instead of cottage cheese and flax oil, is posted on my website on its own page. Clearing out some bad intestinal bacteria with CS would help if the amount given was high enough for a few hours; using a probiotic blend with three bifidobacteria strains after that plus -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
