Alpha-Stim to Rescue in Severe Spastic Colitis

     JR is a 28 year old man with a lifetime of digestive problems.  He has suffered most of his life with severe pain in his abdomen, along with just about every digestive symptom you could imagine - nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and severe cramping pain.  During colonoscopy, one could see his colon cramping intensely, the cramps themselves tearing the tissues of the colon.  During his first visit a year ago, he was suffering his typical severe abdominal pain, which no medicines had really cured, though cannabis was the best at reducing them.  During the first visit, he had a treatment with Alpha-Stim SCS, and with minutes the cramping stopped, and the pain disappeared.

     JR was able to acquire an Alpha-Stim, and on his yearly evaluation, he reports that he had the best year of his life.  Regular use of the Alpha-Stim has calmed the cramping nearly completely.  This has allowed him to use a very high quality probiotic for helping restore the health of the colon, for the colon no longer tears and rips at itself through intense cramping.
