		<description>Hi Jini,
Came across this site a few times in the past 3.5 years I have had an anal fistula. I do not suffer from Chron&#039;s but developed fistula from an abscess. Tried everything excpet WOO. Currently taking serrapeptase for it but have very bad constipation - no movement at all sometimes in bowels - all remaining in upper part of bowel so gets very uncomfortable. I am vegetarian, but have dairy and wholewheat bread but tonnes of fruit and raw veg, probiotics (taking also Kefir daily), do exercise daily, and drink lots and lots of water. I am going to start the syringe protocol with WOO when I get some (I am in the UK) but wondered if you could suggest anything for the constipation. I am currently taking oxypowder which does really help but gets very uncomfortable after taking it and also whilst taking it the fistula infection is Maaaad! I have to continually open the fistula with a needle to get infection out and today for the first time tried syringing in 50/50 apple cider vinegar/water solution for 20 mins then using a needle to drain it. Any suggestions from you or anyone else reading this would be enormously gratefully appreciated! Many blessings to you for all your wonderful work. Kate</description>

		<description>Success! My son took his first bike ride in more than two years tonight. His three peri-anal abscesses have almost completely healed after four topical ozone treatments with our Naturopath. I was the one who suggested trying it, not the other way around. What is nice is there has been no filling/deflation cycling while the treatments, several weeks apart, or even a month apart, were administered. 

It would be nice to better understand the underlying causes, but we are both so relieved he can live as a normal 14 year old now. If you are interested in trying this therapy, please note our ND administered the ozone gas directly to the affected tissues, not through olive oil, as many websites describe. It&#039;s very difficult to find solid info on this therapy online - most of it is in German.</description>

		<description>I developed an anal abscess about 4 weeks ago. I&#039;m not sure what type it is but it does not sit on top of the skin it seems to be deeper in the tissue. My doctor put me on antibiotics for 1 week and it seemed to help so he put me on 2 more weeks of antibiotics saying he did not want to cut me open if he didn&#039;t have to. During the second week, the antibiotics seemed to quit working. I starting using the wild oregano oil topically last week when the abscess became swollen and painful again. I didn&#039;t think it would do anything especially since there is not an open wound. To my surprise it did help bring down the swelling.  I started taking the wild oregano oil orally yesterday and I purchased the vetrolaser today. (which by the way is $590 with shipping. but it comes with a smaller laser also) I have also increased my vitamin c intake and I&#039;m working on changing my diet. I really hope this works, I will keep you posted on my progress. If you have any additional advise it would be appreciated.</description>

		<description>Hi all,

Developed an abscess on 8th Jan 2011, had it operated on, then developed a fistula, while waiting for the operation (5 months) for the fistula, I got another abscess originating from an infection in the fistula. Had my 3rd operation where the first fistula was cut out and the 2nd abscess/fistula was debridled and stitched up with a seton drain in place for 2 weeks.

I need to go for another MRI to see how the 2nd fistula is to be treated.

This is an ongoing nightmare for a healthy male – colonoscopy was all clear and the fistulae did not even eat into the colon. I think they were blind fistulae. One did work it&#039;s way out of my lower bottom cheek though.

What can I do? The surgeries are traumatic.

Cheers,
Dorian,

		<description>I find it extremely irresponsible to give such poor advice on treating per anal abscess.
Get GI to drain it and then don&#039;t take anti biotics, inject it with..... you what this will cause? A lot more suffering for someone already suffering more than anyone should ever have to. Shame on you</description>

		<description>Has anyone used ozone treatment? When my son&#039;s abscesses suddenly came back with a vengeance after a quiet summer, I sent him to our N.D. who has used it for wound healing, IBS, Crohn&#039;s etc. and asked if he would try this as an external treatment. The ND treated one abscess, which began to drain (yay) a couple of days later. I want to send him back for continued work on this first one, as well as two others. 

Curious to hear if anyone else has had success with ozone.</description>

		<description>Hi, by following this protocol u will give the best chance for ur abscess to heal rather then antibiotic treatment that will damage u in the long run. Jini Patel saved me from the years of pain I suffered with a transprintric fistula that the doctors said would never heal. Lilly</description>

		<description>By following this protocol, you are more likely to grow an arm our of your arse than treat your perianal abscess correctly. The gold standard of treatment IS drainage and antibiotic treatment.  Everything above is completely false, and by promoting it, Jini Thompson is putting lives at risk.  

If you follow the above protocol, you may very well die.....</description>

		<description>Kristi - You can bathe in epsom salts (1 cup) and tea tree oil (30 drops) per bath. Apply the oregano oil to the abscess and also to where it&#039;s leaking from - just cover the whole area. 

Be sure and read through all the comments on this post as you will learn a lot from other&#039;s accounts. Let us know how it goes...</description>

		<description>Sorry, one last thing. When I noticed it leaking it seemed to be leaking from about an inch away from the actual abscess. This confused me as well! This is my first time having this issue but I do have CD. All of my other chrons issues have been intestinal and have been under control for about two years. I don&#039;t seem to be in a flare when this abscess formed. Thanks in advance, this forum seems wonderful!</description>

		<description>I recently developed a perianal abscess and due to health insurance, surgery/er is not an option. I just bought the oregano oil and have been applying it full strength. (only for 2 days so far) no results yet but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I really need this to work!! It is painful to sit.  The abscess leaked a couple days ago but is still bothersome. No fistulas that I am aware of though. Any advice to help speed the process of drying the abscess? Any advice or encouragement is greatly appreciated as I am nervous. Thank you!!</description>

		<description>I have been off the drugs now for a year or two, except a number of courses of antibioics to fight infections in my fistula.  I have only had one proper flare up of the Crohn&#039;s in my gut, which I controlled with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which I have unfortunatley fallen away from recently. Besides from my fistula, I have generally been able to control my disease through diet and lifestyle changes and have not been any worse off for comiing of the meds, despite being told I would flare if I stopped taking them, although the drs have now agreed that there was no problem with me taking myself off them so I guess they don&#039;t always know what&#039;s best. I figure I know my body and my disease better than anyone else.</description>

		<description>I would just like to add my 5 cents to this exchange, 
When talking about IBD there is a deep disturbance of the immune system, we can identify today dozens of compounds in our system that can go mad -TNF (alfa and beta) many Interleukins, cytokines, grouth factors (TGF), etc. I am sure these factors get even more disturbed when we apply the drugs that are meant to &quot;control&quot; them. We hardly identify them, barely know what they do, but medicine is sure to &quot;manage&quot; all those processes. Far from the real truth. So my understanding of this is that if we use drugs to treat Crohn&#039;s or colitis, we end up increasing the symptoms and complications when compared with patients treated with a natural and cautious approach. 
Think twice before using any medication, they seldom work.</description>

		<description>I have never taken any drugs for my Crohns.  I went straight to natural ways of healing.  I was doing great until I foolishly drank two jello shots and some vodka with water and lime.  After that I got my first only absess and that turned into a fistula.  Drinking alcohol is very scary to me now.  I do have some dry wine on occasion but it&#039;s rare, and I only drink very very little. I totally see how DIET is everything when it comes to our health.  I have not stopped eating pork meat and shell fish because they carry a lot of bacteria and that bateria affects fistulas.  The last time I ate a pork rib the next morning my crohns flared up and the fistula was causing extreme pain.  Back to the antibiotics (which I hate) and it got better.  But fistula is still there.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your reply Jinh. I am definitely going to try the oregano oil and I really hope it does help, I can&#039;t tell you what it would mean after nine years of pain, surgery and medication. I will keep you all updated with my progress. So far I have been unable to find an affordable infrared here in the Uk but will keep looking. I get so frustrated with some of the limits put on MDs when it comes to using natural and alternative remedies.

		<description>Doctors know very little about natural healing substances. They are simply not taught any of this in med school. Some are interested to know of natural cures that work, but many are not. And either way, they are usually prevented by their medical association from sharing any of this knowledge with patients (they could lose their license).

Dr. Silvio Najt MD has wondered if the drugs you listed cause or exacerbate fistulas - because apparently they rarely occur in people with Crohn&#039;s who have remained completely un-medicated.

Be sure and read through all the comments here and also the post on the infrared laser treatment.</description>

		<description>I have had anal fistulas for almost 9 years now (the same ones), which is how my Crohn&#039;s disease manifested itself.

I have finally been told that they will never heal but have not been told why, after numerous surgeries and treatments including Imuran, antibiotics, Remicade and even Thalidomide, which was supposed to be a wonder cure but did nothing.  So I figure I have nothing to lose by trying the oregano oil. I have to admit that I&#039;m not holding much hope as surely if it worked so well I would have had it recommended by one of my many drs from 4 different countries.

WIsh me luck.

		<description>you can just dilute the wild oregano further - try 10:1 (10 drops olive oil, 1 drop wild oregano) and yes, you can apply aloe vera afterwards to soothe.</description>

		<description>Sorry Jini, my husband has very sensitive skin, when we first WOO, the area around it becomes all red. I read somewhere that u could add aloe Vera to help. Can you advise what are the mixtures proportion, or should I just dilute with olive oil? Which one works better. Thanks for your help. The irritation and soreness is very discouraging especially after all that surgery pain, plus we have a toddler at home and he is feeling depressed that he can&#039;t do anything with baby and he is talking about stopping the treatment. I think WOO is the way for him because I hv seen amazing results in the last 2 weeks. Goid news is he has been putting on weight after taling absorbplus. Any help or suggestions is greatly apreciated.</description>

		<description>Hi Jini, I hv started syringing the fistulas track. I can see from the outside that the wounds have healed alot but in the last 2 days, my husband complained that the whole area (where the open wounds are) is very sore. Any idea why he is feeling the soreness after so many weeks. He was tolerating it well in the first few weeks. There is still pus but not alot. Whenever I syringe, he said it is very painful (burning feeling). Do you think we over do it? We are applying 4 times a day. He is on full dose Natren probiotics. Taking absorbplus 4 times a day in addition to lunch and dinner and also taking 10 drops of oreganol oil twice a day. Any suggestions?</description>

		<description>Hi,

I just wanted to comment on the wild oregano oil. It totally worked for me! I was really scared and depressed about my seemingly sudden condition. After the first week I saw significant healing of the abcess and almost totally gone after week two. I continued to apply to the area for 2 more weeks.

Thanks so much for this blog!!!</description>

		<description>Hi to all,  RE: YARROW - We purchase from SAN FRANCISCO HERB (800-227-2830; www.herbspicetea.com

RE: SCAR TISSUE -

 Violet Laser (405 nm, 5 mW) – has on/off switch and comes with a wide variety of tips, both straight and angled (for dental applications) and a padded travel case for $219. Tips can be interchanged with the Doctors Red Laser as using the two lasers in combination can work well for stubborn cases. The Violet Laser has been documented to help the body’s defenses eliminate bacteria or other infections. (With a photochemical effect). For this reason, if your fistula has a lot of infection, this violet laser may work better than the red ones.  It is also better for treating (softening, dissolving) SCAR TISSUE. Good for oral treatment of gingivalis

Also for SCAR TISSUE - HIGHLY CONCENTRATED VITAMIN E OIL 25,000 IU&#039;S, TOPICALLY (health food store)</description>

		<description>Dragon&#039;s Blood may be a promising potential treatment for peri-anal abscesses and healing of the gut. I picked some up from a reliable herbal manufacturer, HerbPharm of Oregon - they&#039;re manufacturing a line of South American and Chinese &quot;simples,&quot; meaning one herb extract in the bottle, rather than a blend.

Dragon&#039;s Blood is traditionally used for diarrhea and for external wound healing. This got me interested in using it on my son&#039;s abscesses. Despite suspected Crohn&#039;s we won&#039;t use it internally, as the herbalist I spoke to at HerbPharm told me that the undiluted sap they manufacture is absolutely gag-worthy. That said, it may be worth a try for those of you who have diarrhea as well as lesions.

We&#039;re applying it topically every night with cotton balls and it does sting on my son&#039;s anal area - not the other abscesses. 

Will keep you posted on our results.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Ted. I haven&#039;t been able to find yarrow root powder. I may try to find a plant to dig up and dry the roots - I&#039;ll let you know if i do. 
I&#039;ve been applying oregano oil, in conjunction w/baths, which seems to be reducing the size and associated pain of the abscess. 
I, too, am interested in learning how to dissolve scar tissue. 
Great site. Thank you, All.</description>

		<description>For Bob - YARROW ROOT POWDER , SATURATED WITH ALOE VERA GEL  TO MAKE A PASTE APPLIED TO THE ABSCESS ON A COTTON PATCH WILL DEFINITELY DRAIN THE ABSCESS.  BUT IT WILL HURT!  Yarrow draws out all the pus until pure blood comes out.  THEN STOP!  Good luck</description>

		<description>Blessings All - Are there any recommendations to help drain an anal abscess caused by a anal fissure? My abscess was drained last week, and I am trying to drain it w/hot epsom salts baths and clean the hole with applications of oregano oil. Trying to stop a fistula from occurring. Many thanks and blessings to all for your faith, courage and commitment.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s great news!

No, the commercial brands (like Oreganol) will not damage the tissues - as you point out, they are already diluted.

Try the other suggestions in LTYG for firming up stool - like L-glutamine on empty stomach. Also some find a mixture of bentonite and pysllium to work best.

Keep in mind that Absorb Plus is a liquid food - so will not reduce watery bowel movements and may increase them.</description>

		<description>Thanks for introducing WOO, Jini. My husband had crohns for 5 years and in dec 2010 had 2 fistulas growth. he has been to 2 operations (dec 2010 &amp; Apr 2011) to drain the abscess but it didnt go away. I chanced upon your website while doing research and went out to buy the Oreganol (brand) oil. We have applied for 10 days now and i tell you, the open wound (since April) has healed almost 50% in the last 10 days, even the old wound from the dec op is beginning to show signs of healing. This oil has far better results than the antibiotics that he has been taking for the last 4 months!! the abscess has reduced considerably, sometimes it is only as small as a &quot;full stop&quot; but it will build up a little every few days. I suspect this is because he is still taking food but i am using the laser pen as described in your other article (i have ordered the one that you have introduced but it has not arrived). we have also started syringing a little the last few days but it is quite difficult to do because of the angle of the seton and i still cannot find a good syringe with a slim head. ALso, i have to mention that we did not dilute further as the bottle says that it has been diluted. My husband said the &quot;hot&quot; feeling last only for 1 to 2 minutes therefore he bears with it. My concern is since it is such a strong solution, will this burn his internal tissues? or should i dilute further? the only other problem that he is having is his diarrhea is not improving, he has 3-5 watery movement everyday for the last 3 years. he has been taking the bentonite clay for the last 1 week (3 times a day) but it has show no improvement. he also started taking Absorbplus (once or twice a day) as a supplement in the last few days. any suggestion to improve the situation is welcome. Thanks Jini and thanks WOO!!</description>

		<description>Yes, topically it will still help - how much, I don&#039;t know. I believe the above reference meant that the fistula was opening into the rectum - hence syringing rectally.

Whether using rectally or vaginally, you start with the dilution given and then increase to as strong as you can tolerate. See which brands I recommend here:

		<description>In order to heal the fistula track, is it absolutely necessary to syringe and insert the oregano oil into the opening? Will applying it topically have any healing results.  &amp; I wasn&#039;t sure what this mean&#039;t  &quot;The openngs were not large enough for my syringe so I have been syringing rectally only.&quot;  So if the fistula opening isn&#039;t large enough or is closed, I can insert oil rectally and it will heal the fistula this way?  How much olive oil : oregano oil for the rectal method.  How many days, approximately should I do this for?

Thanks Jini.  
PS: I love your site &amp; your determination to wellness for yourself and others.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!  You&#039;re a blessing :)</description>

		<description>Yes, you can use it vaginally - people usually start with a 7:1 dilution (7 olive oil, 1 oregano) and then increase from there if they can tolerate it.

You can also soak a sterile gauze pad in the solution (or in 6% hydrogen peroxide) and stuff it up there for 15 minutes - use your kegel exercises to contract the vagina so the mixture gets worked into the folds.</description>

		<description>Hi Jini!!

First I want to thank you for your website!  I am not sure how long I have had my fistula&#039;s, I just found out last Friday!  My doctor immediatelty set me up to see the surgeon but did not offer any relief for the infection.  I began the woo on Saturday both topically and syringing and the world of a difference!  The openngs were not large enough for my syringe so I have been syringing rectally only.  I drained for two days straight, but now I believe I may be draining elsewhere- possible rectovaginal fistula but cannot confirm until MRI next week.  Is it safe to also syringe the woo in there as well as the rectum?  

Thank you again for all of your advice so far!  I am looking forward to surprising my doctors with healed fistulas soon!

		<description>Hi Jini,

I have had crohn&#039;s since February 2011, I am started on Cimzia treatments for ulcers in my colon and it seems to help but I am trying to do more holistic measures. I am getting on a probiotic and have added supplements to try natural measures. My problem now is I was told during my colonoscope by my GI doctor that I have hemmorhoids that resembles large masses. He referred me to a rectal surgeon who put me on cipro for anal abcesses. The cipro didn&#039;t work. They are my first abcesses and he suggested that I not get them surgically removed because they can be difficult to heal with crohns. This is all new and overwhelming. I am only 25 and need some advice and better understanding of abvesses and how this can be treated holistically. The abcesses are closed and painful. They never really drained or anything. If you can offer advice and explain what to look for and how these abcesses can be treated I would be greatly appreciative. It&#039;s all so new to me and I want to get better. I am taking fish oil as of today and I heard wormwood can help so I plan on adding that as well but the abcesses are a separate issue and the rectal surgeon basically said he hopes they go away in their own. Help please!!!!</description>

		<description>Hi Jini,
I recently finished the elemental diet, my bleedinging in my rectrum has completly gone which is great. I really enjoyed being on the diet and succesfully gained weight thankfully.     I am now ready to use the Hemmorheal suppositores for the narrowing in my rectrum and I have brought the DMSO 70% 30% distilled water and SSKI Tri Quench brand from Tahoma dispensary, can you please clarify if this is the correct one for making the suppositories. The DMSO  states that it is intended for the use of solvent only and may irritate the skin. Not sure if I have purchased the right one?  
Many thanks Lilly</description>

		<description>No, heartburn is not due to pathogens or infection. You need to use probiotics, go here and download the Probiotics Teleseminar and it will tell you what to do:

http://www.holistichealthshoppe.com/index.php#27

For short-term (immediate) relief, you can use these lozenges before and/or after a meal:

http://www.holistichealthshoppe.com/index.php#36

p.s. don&#039;t buy from JPT Holistic Health Shoppe if you&#039;re only buying one item - the shipping is all courier (UPS, FedEx) and too expensive if just shipping one item. Get your local store to order in the product for you.</description>

		<description>I have had acid reflux in the past and have tried even pure cherry juice in the past and that has caused really bad heart burn.  I don&#039;t eat junk food anymore and I feel better, but would Oil of Oregano cause heart burn for someone like me?  Should I mix it with a lot of water?  

Thanks</description>
