Mike's Story
I had UC from the age of 12 to 17. All the medications failed and gave me bad side effects...the only thing that worked was Chinese acupuncture and herbs. I would suggest this to any UC sufferer.
I had acupuncture for about 7 sessions (usually it is 3-4 sessions for acute conditios, 5-15 for chronic illnesses(like colitis) and more if necessary).
I saw an improvements after about three sessions. Also, the doctor you should go to should be an American Acupuncture Board specialist and will prescribe some herbs that he prepares himself for this condition. They usually ask you your symptoms and proceed from there. These doctors are usu. Chinese and I have found it very effective and the duration of the cure is long.
Some take insurance and some don't. Usually it costs about $40 per session and the herbs (which last long) are about $20. Also, a Chinese herbologist may prescribe teas or powders which they make out of a recipe of their own depending upon the symptoms of the patient.
The best thing for me was that it had no side effects and was not really painful. Good luck.
