Healed without Medication or Surgery!!!

Fri, May 21, 2010 12:00 AM

My 20-year old (at the time) stepson was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2007. After months of different medical treatments, and little if any relief, in August 2008, he was admitted to the hospital with what the doctors described as being among the top 5% of worst cases they had ever seen. After 3 weeks in the hospital, and on the brink of death, the only two options he was given by the doctors were Remicade or proctocolectomy (removal of the colon and rectum).

After being told repeatedly by doctors that diet has no effect whatsoever on UC (a part of the digestive system, nonetheless), my husband refused to accept that claim and finally found a way to get his son healed without medication or surgery. This regimen has healed thousands of Colitis and Crohn’s patients all over the world for 20 years! http://www.colitis-crohns.com/facts.html

We spent the next 2 weeks weaning my step-son off of the medications and drips (he had to hide his medications at times because the doctors refused to work with him in this regimen). He followed the proposed regimen of this system and at the end of those two weeks, he was finally released from his 5-week stay in the hospital when his visits to the bathroom went from 20 per day to 2 per day!!!!

One week later, and on zero medications, the results of his next rectal scope showed that his colon had completely healed other than one polyp which showed a brand new surface coming up behind it.

Unfortunately, my stepson has since come away from the diet because he does not like fruit and vegetables. He has thus, unfortunately, had a number of hospital visits since, numerous temporary relief medications and is presently awaiting the start of the Remicade regimen in spite of the horrendous side effects.

I wanted to share this for those of you who are willing to make a wholesome change in your lives in order to receive unfathomable rewards.

Hi tomperez1971,

It may help if you are able to afford a consultancy package with the doctor. We benefited tremedously from having the personal support and getting all of the additional books as part of the package.

Don't get me wrong, I am sure that you can have success from just following the book, so this is just a suggestion.

It worked for my stepson when he was on the brink of death, so we are proof that it can work even if a person is in a bad flare. Perhaps if you read the book again there will be certain things that you may have missed the first time?

Very hopeful that it will work for you!
