The United Colon Vlog

Hey everybody, I want to point out a new video that I’m really excited about. Last week Toshio, an engineer from Japan, contacted me about using some of my videos in a Japan ostomy association that he helps lead. One thing led to another, and he has offered to help translate some of my videos into Japanese!

Check out the first video so far. I have no knowledge of Japanese so I can’t confirm how accurate the translation is, but based on the massive number of views this video is getting every day, it seems somebody in Japan likes this video.

If any of you know somebody in Japan who is suffering with ulcerative colitis, pass this video on to them. I know that’s a very specific request that almost nobody can fulfill, but you never know.

To my Japanese viewers: if you stumbled upon this site I send you my greetings. Unfortunately this video is currently the only Japanese translated content on this site, but more videos should be coming. I’m open to emails but unfortunately I can only respond in English.

This video also marks the start of the Translation Project. My videos are surprisingly growing in popularity around the world. Maybe there isn’t good medical information available in other countries? I’m not sure. But up until now the only people that benefited were those who knew English.

Toshio is helping me with the Japanese videos and I have another contact in Barcelona who is helping me with Spanish videos. If anybody wants to help translate these videos into other languages there are three ways you can help:

1. Do the grunt work of downloading my videos, translating them to your chosen language, and then uploading them back onto YouTube for all to see.

2. If you don’t have the capabilities to edit videos, do the hardest work of translating the video into your chosen language, send me the transcript and I’ll figure out a way to add subtitles.

3. If all you know is English, help me transcribe the words of each video into a transcript that can be used by others who know how to translate. Working from a transcript assists greatly in translating accuracy and speed.

Translation is a slow process and not every video will get translated, but anything is better than nothing.

So for those who have found this site useful in dealing with your ulcerative colitis and other bowel diseases, give back and help me out with this new project!

Keep fighting,
