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.
