TAMP DOWN toilet troubles with this cooling root

If you’ve got ulcerative colitis, it’s hard to explain to people why you might be RUNNING to the bathroom… 

Or why you spend so much time in there once you get to the toilet.  

They don’t understand how with ulcerative colitis, your colon lining is WOUNDED by ulcers… 

And how NOTHING seems to help it heal.  

In the meantime, you could be DOUBLED OVER in pain… 

And you might not be able to do the things you love.  

Don’t worry trying to EXPLAIN yourself.  

It’s time to focus on GETTING BETTER.  

Haven’t you suffered ENOUGH?? 

Mainstream medicine may have FAILED you so far in getting your UC under control… 

But that just means it may be time to look BEYOND the mainstream.  

Here’s what the Chinese have been using to treat UC for ages… and how it works from both an Eastern AND a Western perspective. 

Western science meets Eastern tradition 

Traditional Chinese Medicine calls the shrubby sophora (Sophora flavescens) “Ku Shen,” which literally means “bitter root”…  

And uses it to “clear heat” and “dry dampness”…  

Particularly in the intestines.  

That’s important – because according to TCM theory, ulcerative colitis is characterized by damp-heat accumulation syndrome (DHAS)! 

That means that sophora root helps to OBLITERATE symptoms of UC by addressing their root causes. 

Now, that terminology might sound a little different from how Western medicine looks at treating diseases like UC. 

But it turns out… the two sides of the world are actually IN AGREEMENT when it comes to sophora root’s powers against UC! 

A 2020 meta-analysis confirms how sophora root gets to the underlying cause of UC – what scientists have identified as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.  

This mechanism UNLEASHES inflammation in the intestinal lining… 

And that doesn’t just cause poop problems, like diarrhea and constipation.  

It could also lead to cancer! 

In fact, UC patients are 6X more likely to develop colon cancer… 

And PI3K-Akt may be one of the reasons why.  

So, it comes as no surprise that PI3K-Akt inhibitors have been researched for their ability to help fight cancer.  

And by INHIBITING PI3K-Akt, sophora root has shown to help UC patients achieve remission…  

WITHOUT adverse events… 

But that’s not all.   

Because sophora root has also exhibited activity against colon cancer cells.  

Now, TCM rarely uses any single herb on its own… 

So a certified Chinese therapist can recommend a multi-herb formula containing sophora root (a.k.a. Radix Sophorae flavescentis) that could be right for you.  

Don’t confuse sophora root with the Japanese sophora flower, a.k.a. the Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum), which is a completely different plant.
