What a Two-Decade Steroid-Dependent IBD Case Revealed About Redox Collapse, Malabsorption, Microbial Instability, and Host Capacity
A man in his forties with two decades of steroid-dependent inflammatory bowel disease was taking four grams of vitamin C daily — and his ascorbate marker sat near the bottom of the range. That contradiction opened a full mechanistic case analysis of redox collapse, fat malabsorption, microbial instability, and host capacity.

What May Be Driving IBD? A Mechanistic Reading of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
IBD is not a single autoimmune disease. At the cellular level both Crohn's and ulcerative colitis are dominated by colonocyte bioenergetic failure — loss of butyrate oxidation, collapse of the gut oxygen gradient, and the inflammatory cascade that follows. A mechanistic reading anchored in primary research from Roediger 1990 onward, and why standard immunosuppression contains the response but does not restore the upstream lesion.

Ulcerative Colitis Starts in the Mitochondrion
For forty years the field treated UC as immune dysregulation. The 2024 and 2025 literature finally admits what was upstream all along.
