Growth
Hormone May Ease
Crohns Disease
Crohn's Disease,
a disorder of the digestive tract causing persistent diarrhea,
abdominal
pain, bleeding and breakdown of the intestinal wall, has no known cure,
though drugs can ease symptoms in some patients. The cause of Crohn's
is
unknown, but one theory is that infections or hereditary factors weaken
the intestinal wall, making it more susceptible to inflammation and
tissue
breakdown when it comes in contact with disease-causing organisms. An
exaggerated
immune response may also play a role.
Dr. Alfred Slonim
of North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y and colleagues
based
their research on previous studies indicating that growth hormone
improved
intestinal repair in patients who had part of their bowels surgically
removed.
Slonim theorized that growth hormone may rebuild and strengthen the
intestinal
wall. A high-protein diet provides the building blocks for tissue
repair.
In his study, Slonim
found that in 19 adults treated
with growth hormone while on a high-protein diet, 11 went into
remission.
Of the 14 patients who improved, virtually all said their abdominal
pain
disappeared. They also reported less diarrhea. Side effects were
mild.

 Of
the 19 in the study, an additional three others saw significant
improvement.
As a control, eighteen patients took a dummy drug while on a
high-protein
diet -- none reported any changes to their digestive habits.
Growth
hormone appeared almost as effective as the anti-inflammatory drug
infliximab,
the only medication approved specifically for Crohn's disease. Slonim's
study, however, did not perform exams to see whether the intestinal
tissue
was healthier.
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky Gut Syndrome is not a
disease but an intestinal
dysfunction that can underlie many different illnesses and symptoms.
Over
time, leaky gut syndrome contributes to the development of food
allergies,
and to irritable-bowel syndrome, Crohn's diseases, ulcerative colitis,
and yeast overgrowth. Other seemingly unrelated problems can also have
leaky gut as their source. These include migraines, chronic fatigue
syndrome,
eczema, psoriasis and various kinds of arthritis.
