Grapefruit Seed Extract, Diatomaceous Earth
Posted by Mohammed (Canada) on 05/20/2024
★★★★★
I suffered fistula for more than 30 years and refused surgery. It used to very painfully swell and burst. I tried so many remedies, and most worked partially, but the fistula remained dormant before getting active again and again every two to three years. The cure finally came by chance I was taking GSE (Grapefruit seed extract) 5 drops mixed with Food grade Diatomaceous earth, this broke the den of Fistula and finally cured it for good. But when it burst, its bacteria spread all over inside the body. So you need to keep repeating this one week every month for at least a year to clear it from all over inside the body. Also, you MUST drink lots of water.

I'm so excited that you used the Manuka medical grade honey. I am looking into doing that myself. What was your outcome?

Mastic Gum, DMSO + Iodine for Anal Fistula
6 grams of mastic gum a day to start. Pain will be 50% less by next day. Taper downward to 5.5 grams day two, 5 grams day 3,4.5 grams day 4, and so on.
DMSO 15-20 drops on cotton ball with edible iodine supplement 2 drops and apply cotton ball to fistula opening. Replace frequently every day. Pain will be almost gone by day 2. Keep applying every day with paper towel folded several times over top of cotton ball and DMSO on paper towel too. Do not soak the paper towel just 10 drops or so of DMSO. Do this until fistula closes. When fistula closes keep applying for 10 days and continue mastic gum 1gram daily.

Anal Fistula from Crohn’s Disease

I have a fistula and I have read about using medical grade manuka honey. I'm trying to improve the situation by doing micro enema with manuka honey half way in the rectum to try to get into the inside opening of the fistula. I have done it for a couple of days and it is early to say but I notice less draining of the yellowish fluid. I will continue for sometime and see if it can be healed....

Anal Fistula from Crohn’s Disease
Posted by Shelley (Charlotte, NC) on 04/07/2023
I'm 29 years old and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2015. I had my first anal fistula in 2018 and now I've recently occurred my 2nd anal fistula within the past month. Super painful, right near my vagina and rectum, sitting on my panty line. I get Remicade infusions every 8 weeks. I was told when I started Remicade that it would prevent anal fistulas. I was seen in the ER where they did a CT scan to make sure it was a fistula and not abscess. It was so swollen and painful so they ended up lancing it and draining until I can be seen by a colorectal surgeon. If there is anyone or anything that could help me from having surgery I would be forever grateful. The first fistula surgery I had was the worse time of my life and I don't want to go through it again if I don't have to.

I've had 3 and I can tell you that surgery is really the only thing that will help. If you don't escalate the situation, you could end up even sicker and in the hospital. I'm 33 and like I said, had 2 minor surgeries, and one major. I haven't felt relief like this in a long time. I was terrified, but they can be deadly. Not something you want to mess around with.
