This is not a comfortable conversation. Because what I’m about to say may challenge everything you’ve been told about Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. You’ve probably been told your immune system is “attacking itself.” That your disease is “incurable.” That remission is a lucky break, and flare-ups are just part of the ride. You’ve likely been handed medications to silence your body’s symptoms—but never taught how to listen to what those symptoms are saying. Let me be direct. Your body is not attacking you. It is defending you—against a toxic burden it can no longer process. Inflammation is not your...

Namaskaram. Let me start by asking you something simple. How many of you have been told that irritable bowel syndrome—IBS—is just something you have to “manage”? Maybe with pills, maybe with stress control, maybe with diet. How many of you have walked out of the clinic, googled for answers, and landed in an endless loop of low-FODMAP charts, probiotic promotions, and gut-healing protocols that left you more confused than healed?

Dear friends, Have you ever felt that burning sensation climbing up your chest after a heavy meal? That sour taste that suddenly floods your throat when you bend forward or lie down? Or that restless night where your stomach refuses to stay calm? This is acidity and GERD (acid reflux)—a condition that millions silently suffer every single day. And yet, most of us reach for a quick pill, a fizzy antacid, or an extra pillow, hoping the fire will go away. But here’s the truth: these quick fixes are like pouring water on a raging flame without addressing the fuel...
