A recent study may suggest a new treatment for ulcerative colitis. The study, to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that people with ulcerative colitis that have been in remission for a long time-period have higher levels of Prostaglandin D2 than those that don't. It's unclear whether the higher levels of the chemical are a result of being in remission or the cause of the remission, but the study is interesting nonetheless as it suggests follow-on research.

Prostaglandin D2 a potential treatment for Ulcerative Colitis

So basically, although high levels of prostaglandin d2 is also responsible for allergy induced asthma and other allergic diseases, go ahead and assume its going to do a patient prone to auto immune diseases any good. Great job guys! My ass won't bleed but I won't ever breathe normal again.
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting take on this. But again, unclear what the increased levels mean - are they the cause of remission or a result of remission? Not sure. But if they did pursue this as a therapeutic, no doubt there might be unwanted side-effects. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteI have mild ulcerative colitis and have been in remission now for 3 years and for as long as i have been in remission i have developed breathing problems. i was ok until i developed UC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your experience anonymous. Seems to be a connection between the two then.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Ancient Asian medicine that classifies organs in pairs linked the lungs and colon.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Lungs and big intestine (colon included) are both in the metal element in the Chinese theory of the 5 elements. This is why an imbalance on one of these meridians may trigger problems on the other meridian also. It might impact also your nose function, the skin. For example if you have a skin problem, like psoriasis, it might aggravate during flares. Also please be careful and avoid sadness, it impacts negatively the lungs, the big intestine potentially. It is the emotion associated with this element Metal. Pay attention also to bad emotions, either very strong or for a very long time, related with the basics of your life. They may be related with such illnesses like UC. Also you might be aware of all the thoughts and emotions related with yourself. Be kind and love yourself as you are, do not let anything make you think or feel bad about yourself, or whatever is related to yourself. You are perfect just the way you are. Is true :) You just need to accept this :)
