According to conventional explanations:
"Ulcerative colitis is a long-term condition affecting the large bowel and rectum. It causes symptoms such as frequent diarrhoea, which can come and go. There are a number of treatments available which can help to control your symptoms. However, if these treatments don’t help to ease your symptoms, you may consider having surgery. If you have severe ulcerative Colitis that hasn’t improved with medications, you may be offered more urgent, or emergency surgery. "

I, however, came across a patient who has the following to say:

Recovery from Ulcerative colitis and TMJ dysfunction

Due to a complex medical history have been officially diagnosed with the following over a 20 year period (Aged 20-39) - writer’s cramp (possible dystonia ), loss of cervical lordosis (neck curvature), BPPV (Benign positional vertigo), Peripheral vestibular damage ( causing bouncing vision “oscillopsia/nystagmus), Ulcerative Colitis, Occipital Neuralgia.

In chronological order:

[The patient goes through a number of accidents which you can read in the link below]
Current day (Aged 39): in an effort to get to the bottom of ever increasing deterioration of health and myriad of symptoms stumbled across Atlas ...............and cranial symmetry in a Google search which then brought me to a consultation with Mr Amir at the cranio-dental and skeletal symmetry centre in Putney.

..............It was explained how a series of orthotic dental appliances should restore spinal symmetry and with that will come the resolution of the myriad of symptoms over time. I was informed that, more than likely, the ulcerative colitis (another so called auto-immune disease) is likely the result of the asymmetries and part of this declining pattern in health and could be reversed over time.

...........So in summary the UC is in remission, back pain markedly better but there have been some ups and downs with neck/cranial/visual symptoms; although I feel confident I am finally in the right area at long last after only 4 weeks into the program. Will continue to post here on developments over time. In the meantime it would be interesting to hear of any others that have developed UC after similar cervical/head traumas and how symptoms have progressed over time.

Thanks
Adam
