Dear Jesima,

 

Greetings.

 

MEDICAL INFORMATION: ULCERATIVE COLITIS

 

What is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation of the large intestine

(colon). The colon is the part of the digestive system where waste material

is stored. The rectum is the end of the colon adjacent to the anus. In

patients with ulcerative colitis, ulcers and inflammation of the inner

lining of the colon lead to symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and

rectal bleeding. Ulcerative colitis is closely related to another condition

of inflammation of the intestines called Crohn's disease. Together, they

are frequently referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative

colitis and Crohn's diseases are chronic conditions that can last years to

decades. They affect approximately 500,000 to 2 million people In the

United States. Men and women are affected equally. They most commonly begin

during adolescence and early adulthood, but they also can begin during

childhood and later in life.

 

What Causes Ulcerative Colitis?

The causes of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are unknown. To date,

there has been no convincing evidence that these two diseases are caused by

infection. Neither disease is contagious. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's

disease are caused by abnormal activation of the immune system in the

intestines. The immune system is composed of immune cells and the proteins

that these cells produce. These cells and proteins serve to defend the body

against harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other foreign invaders.

Activation of the immune system causes inflammation within the tissues

where the activation occurs. (Inflammation is, in fact, an important

mechanism of defense used by the immune system.) Normally, the immune

system is activated only when the body is exposed to harmful invaders. In

patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, however, the immune

system is abnormally and chronically activated in the absence of any known

invader. The continued abnormal activation of the immune systems causes

chronic inflammation and ulceration. The susceptibility to abnormal

activation of the immune system is genetically inherited. First degree

relatives (brothers, sisters, children, and parents) of patients with IBD

are thus more likely to develop these diseases.

 

What are the Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis?

Common symptoms of ulcerative colitis include rectal bleeding and diarrhea,

but there is a wide range of symptoms among patients with this disease.

Variability of symptoms reflects differences in the extent of disease

(i.e., the amount of the colon and rectum that are inflamed) and the

intensity of inflammation. Generally, patients with inflammation confined

to the rectum and a short segment of the colon adjacent to the rectum have

milder symptoms and a better prognosis than patients with more widespread

inflammation of the colon. The different types of ulcerative colitis are

classified according to the location and the extent of inflammation:

 

1. Ulcerative proctitis refers to inflammation that is limited to the

rectum. In many patients with ulcerative proctitis, mild intermittent

rectal bleeding may be the only symptom. Other patients with more severe

rectal inflammation may, in addition, experience rectal pain, urgency

(sudden feeling of having to defecate and a need to rush to the bathroom

for fear of soiling), and tenesmus (ineffective, painful urge to move one's

bowels).

 

2. Proctosigmoiditis involves inflammation of the rectum and the sigmoid

colon (a short segment of the colon contiguous to the rectum). Symptoms of

proctosigmoiditis, like that of proctitis, include rectal bleeding,

urgency, and tenesmus. Some patients with proctosigmoiditis also develop

bloody diarrhea and cramps.

 

3. Left-sided colitis involves inflammation that starts at the rectum and

extends up the left colon (sigmoid colon and the descending colon).

Symptoms of left-sided colitis include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps,

weight loss, and left-sided abdominal pain.

 

4. Pancolitis or universal colitis refers to inflammation affecting the

entire colon (right colon, left colon, transverse colon and the rectum).

Symptoms of pancolitis include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps,

weight loss, fatigue, fever, and night sweats. Some patients with

pancolitis have low-grade inflammation and mild symptoms that respond

readily to medications. Generally, however, patients with pancolitis suffer

more severe disease and are more difficult to treat than those with more

limited forms of ulcerative colitis.

 

5. Fulminant colitis is a rare but severe form of pancolitis. Patients with

fulminant colitis are extremely ill with dehydration, severe abdominal

pain, protracted diarrhea with bleeding, and even shock. They are at risk

of developing toxic megacolon (marked dilatation of the colon due to severe

inflammation) and colon rupture (perforation). Patients with fulminant

colitis and toxic megacolon are treated in the hospital with potent

intravenous medications. Unless they respond to treatment promptly,

surgical removal of the diseased colon is necessary to prevent colon rupture.

 

What are the Complications of Ulcerative Colitis?

Patients with ulcerative colitis limited to the rectum (proctitis) or

colitis limited to the end of the left colon (proctosigmoiditis) usually do

quite well. Brief periodic treatments using oral medications or enemas may

be sufficient. Serious complications are rare in these patients. In those

with more extensive disease, blood loss from the inflamed intestines can

lead to anemia, and may require treatment with iron supplements or even

blood transfusions. Rarely, the colon can acutely dilate to a large size

when the inflammation becomes very severe. This condition is called toxic

megacolon. Patients with toxic megacolon are extremely ill with fever,

abdominal pain and distention, dehydration, and malnutrition.

 

Colon cancer is a recognized complication of chronic ulcerative colitis.

The risk for cancer begins to rise significantly after eight to ten years

of colitis. The risk of a patient with ulcerative colitis developing colon

cancer is also related to the location and the extent of their disease.

Patients with only ulcerative proctitis probably do not have increased

colon cancer risk compared to the general population. Among patients with

active pancolitis of 10 years or longer, their risk of colon cancer is

10-20 times that of the general population. In patients with chronic

left-sided colitis, the risk of colon cancer is increased but not as high

as in patients with chronic pancolitis.

 

Since these cancers have a more favorable outcome when caught at an earlier

stage, yearly colon examinations may be recommended after eight years of

known extensive disease. During these examinations, samples of tissue

(biopsies) can be taken to search for precancerous changes in the lining

cells of the colon. When precancerous changes are found, removal of the

colon may be necessary to prevent colon cancer. "

 

 

 

PRANIC HEALING TREATMENT:

 

1. Apply general sweeping.

2. Sweep the front and back solar plexus and the navel chakras, the

stomach, and the small intestines thoroughly. Energize solar plexus and

navel chakras with LWB, then with LWV. Repeat this step for as long as

necessary.

3. Sweep the large intestines, the entire colon including the rectum and

the anus thoroughly. Energize with LWG & LWB. Repeat this step several

times until patient is relieved.

4. Sweep front and back heart chakra. Energize heart through the back

heart chakra with LWG, then with LWV.

5. Sweep the basic chakra. Do not energize if patient has fever.

6. Sweep navel chakra. Energize with WHITE prana.

7. Repeat treatment 2 to 3 times a week.

8. Stabilize and release the projected energy.

9. You may also follow protocol for " Enhancing the Immunity and Defense

System, " Advanced Pranic Healing book.
