Entamoeba histolytica Nosode in the Homeopathic Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract

Ulcerative colitis is a severe chronic and invalidating autoimmune disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Conventional medical treatment is based on intestinal local and systemic anti-inflammatory drugs, local and systemic steroids, and systemic immunosuppressant agents with multiple side effects. A case of steroid-dependent immunosuppressant-treated patient is illustrated. Homeopathic treatment rapidly improved the clinical picture and allowed withdrawal of immunosuppressants, but did not prevent long-term relapsing intestinal and extraintestinal inflammation. Subsequent administration of the homeopathic nosode Entamoeba histolytica healed the patient, with long-term normalisation of intestinal immune function.
