Inflammatory Bowel Disease describes the disorders that involve the chronic infection of the gastro intestinal tract. There are two main categories:

1. Crohn’s Disease – characterised by inflammation anywhere in the digestive tract, also it can involve all the layers of the lining of the bowel. There are often healthy parts of bowel in between the inflammation.
2. Ulcerative Colitis – characterised by inflammation and sores or ulcers in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum.

Both conditions have some common symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, weight loss and blood in stools.
Common conventional treatments:

• Anti-inflammatories
• Immune suppressors
• Antibiotics
• Steroids etc.

Micro-immunotherapy medicines contain high dilutions of interleukins, growth factors and specific nucleic acids (SNA) for the support of the immune system by restoring leading to a positive effect on the person’s overall health and defences. It can be successfully used in this or any other inflammatory disease which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system. The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system.

Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the bowel. It can be used alongside conventional medicine as a supportive therapy.

There are international doctors’ associations committed to Micro-immunotherapy training for healthcare professionals.  Dr Bhatti is the first doctor to practise Micro-immunotherapy in Ireland.

Micro-immunotherapy can be successfully used as a supportive therapy for diseases which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system.

The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system. Using Serology and other blood tests one can monitor the progress of the treatment.

Here are some examples of the applications of Micro-immunotherapy medications:

1. Auto-immune diseases – Rheumatoid arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto thyroiditis
   
2. Infections - Viral infections (CMV, EBV, Viral Hepatitis, Herpes Simplex), Bacterial infections, Parasitic infections, Fungal infections.  Micro-immunotherapy can help the immune system detect these infective agents and help control their multiplication within the body.
   
3. Disorders of bones and joints – Arthrosis, Inflammatory conditions, Periodontitis, Osteoporosis
   
4. Neurological disorders - Age-related memory disorders, Parkinsons, Chronic stress, Depression.  Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the nervous system.
   
5. Allergies: Allergies are an exaggerated reaction of our immune system triggered by substances such as dust, pollen etc. that for the majority of the population are harmless. Micro-immunotherapy seeks to reduce and help correct the exaggerated response, and helps the individual to better tolerate the allergens.

Micro-immunotherapy medicines are in capsule form and numbered for convenience and compliance and they are compatible with other medicines. The usual dose is once daily before breakfast.

Psoriasis is caused when skin cells multiply 10 times faster than normal, and these cells, when they reach the surface of the skin and die, give the typical white scaly appearance of this condition. There are several types of Psoriasis, depending on the signs and symptoms, from Plaque Psoriasis to Pustular, Guttate, Inverse and Erythrodermic.

It can spread to fingernails and toenails, and also affect the joints which is appropriately called Psoriatic Arthritis and up to 30% of people with Psoriasis could have joint involvement.

Psoriasis is an uncomfortable and irritating disease which can be difficult to treat, it can come and go in crops or cycles over the lifetime and is not contagious.  There are medications and remedies to clear up the red patches and scales but there is no permanent cure. Some of the medications are not without side effects.

Some causes of Psoriasis and flare-ups:

• Emotional or physical trauma in about 80% of cases
  
• Chronic stress or acute stress such as death in the family/new job
  
• Strep infection
  
• Injury, especially to skin
  
• Certain medications such as some anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen, B.P. medicine
  
• Can run in families
  

Although Psoriasis is irritating and embarrassing, help is available.

Dr Bhatti introduces for the very first time in Ireland Micro-immunotherapy for treating psoriasis and many other immunity related conditions.

According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, your plate should contain two thirds plant-based foods and one third animal protein as a cancer-fighting tool.

Here are some foods which contain some cancer-fighting nutrients:

• Fruits and vegetables, the more colourful the better they are at preventing and fighting this disease.
  
• Whole grains, breakfast cereals fortified with B vitamins.
  
• Folate and carotenoid-rich foods such as beans, asparagus, eggs, spinach, sunflower seeds, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, kale.
  
• Tomatoes, the fresher the better, but even the processed tomato sauce and tomato juice may help fight cancer.
  
• Green tea is a strong contender but further research is ongoing.
  
• Purple and red grapes contain an antioxidant called Resveratrol with some inflammation-fighting properties. Some scientists believe that inflammation might be a trigger for cancer, however, this remains inconclusive.
  
• Other fruits such as oranges, melons, blueberries and strawberries are a good source of vitamins and folate.
  
• Water may protect you against bladder cancer as it may help dilute the concentration of cancer-causing substances in the bladder.
  
• Turmeric is an exotic Indian spice with curcumin as a main ingredient with a potential to fight cancer, research is ongoing.
  
• Other foods and spices with health-giving properties such as ginger, garlic, cinnamon, nuts, flaxseed, olive oil, fish, peas, beans, lentils, squash and whole foods.

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common disorders in Western cultures. Symptoms of this condition include abdominal pain or cramping and changes in bowel function including bloating, gas, alternating diarrhoea and constipation and mucus in stools. Severity of symptoms may vary considerably depending on lifestyle and diet. Pain can be acute, chronic, functional, organic or referred.
Unlike more serious intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease which cause inflammation or changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer IBS can (in many cases) be controlled by managing your diet, lifestyle, stress and gut health and microbiome restoration.
Some researchers believe IBS is caused by changes in the nerves that control sensation or muscle contractions in the bowel. Others believe the central nervous system may affect the colon. Women are two to three times as likely as men to have IBS so hormonal changes may also play a role. Many women find that signs and symptoms are worse during or around their menstrual periods. Many factors can affect the severity of symptoms such as psychological factors, your circumstances even attitude of relatives and friends.
Controlling diet is extremely important for IBS suffers. Many people find that their signs and symptoms may worsen when they eat certain foods i.e. chocolate, milk and alcohol. Stress will also exacerbate IBS and sometimes other illnesses such as an acute gastroenteritis can trigger IBS.
A complementary approach to IBS will focus on prevention. Staying away from or resolving some of the triggers that cause IBS can in many circumstances remedy the problem. Reduce stress through counselling or some form of relaxation such as Mindfulness, Medical Acupuncture, Breathing Exercises, C.B.T, Gut Health and Micro biome Restoration, Lifestyle Medicine and Physiological Regulating Medicine(P.R.M) can be used safely to treat not only digestive disorders including the inflammatory conditions.
