success stories
In this section you will find stories of journeys to success, told by people who have been healed from HS. These folks haven't found a cure, but they experienced drastic (if not complete) recovery from their symptoms, and are here to tell - in their own words - how they did it.
Most names have been removed (unless requested otherwise) to protect the individuals' identities.
Nutrition
Healing means more than addressing the problem where it occurs. HS is a systemic disease. The following articles are the stories of people who have healed Hidradenitis successfully using a holistic approach, with lifestyle and nutritional changes.
- Healed from HS (Barbara Collins)
- Full recovery using organics and herbs
- Thunder Down Under - surgery and lifestyle changes worked for me
- Detox helped me heal
Radiation
Electron beam radiation appears to have been a successful treatment path to some HS sufferers. Unfortunately, we do not have any up-to-date information from any radiation patients, and have also learned over time of relapses and unsuccessful treatments, even treatments that resulted in severe burns. Therefore we will not recommend radiation as a treatment path, and have removed the diaries of these patients that we have not been able to follow up with for more than a year.
Update: Please see Brad Moller's blog about his rad treatments.
If you are interested in this treatment path, please consult with a qualified radiologist, preferably in a teaching hospital or university.
