hey,

i bought david kelins book last year. i was diagnosed with uc in june last year. the docs were going to remove my colon it was so bad but thank god a few days later the inflammation started to improve.

i was taking 6 steroids a day upon leaving the hospital. whenever i tried to reduce the dosage i would get diarhea again.

then i stared the healing phase diet on his book. and gradually i improved. in total it took me 2 months of following his diet until i no longer had diarhea or blood. i think that his book is pretty good.

unfortunately he advocates a raw vegan diet, well 80% raw. wheich is hard to follow.

hence i dont follow it and have flared up a few times since. however i think it done me a lot of good doing his diet as my uc was so bad at the beginning. also my acnes scars and spots have gone from my back from doing his diet.

i sincerely believe that a raw vegan diet can cure uc and crohns as raw food contains enzymes etc a good book about vegan nutrition is "becoming vegan" its available on amazon. its a very good book as if you become vegan you nned to know what foods to eat to get all the nutrients etc.

if you give the book a go let me know how you get on.

regards,

Jon

Thanks Jon
Well so far so good, you've upheld the testimonials on the website. I realise that everyone is different and there are no miracle cures for everyone, however one must look out for these little jewels. If the protocol shows some or significant gain then bravo!
Kind regards
Steve

Steve ..Jon,

Thank god someone on here has also tried David klein routine...and in my review ...I explained the catch was ...you would have to follow vegan diet....but given the outcome....i would do that anytime....well easy for me to say i guess as I was allready a vegetarian.

But steve if nothing else ....just try apple and Celery juice...I have explained in my other posts....you will be surprised...

good Luck

hey ind164,

its nice to meet some one else who has used kleins diet. there is another guys called paul nison who also used to suffer and has now wrote a book claiming to cure ibd by a raw vegan diet.

for two months on his diet i ate only apples, bananas, grapes, pears, celery, sweet potatoes, carrots, melons, mangos, and papaya and a few more. and all i drank was water or rooibos tea.

i was just so motivated to overcome the illness and scared by it etc.

ive flared up 4 times since then as i havent followed the diet anymore. on average my flare ups last two weeks as i go back to his healing phase diet.

from my research on the raw vegan diet it is a superior diet which cures many illnesses. however you have to be knowledgeable about it to make sure you dont become deficient in anything etc

ive bought a few book on the raw diet and will try out the reciped etc and if all goes well maybe one day i would make the transition.

It seems so obvious--food is either your ally or your enemy. Unfortunately for IBD sufferers there is a vast array of foods which are the enemy. I find it hard to accept my GI's advice that the only foods to watch for are unciiked veggies. Write a script for whatever med and see you in 3 months. So easy but so ineffective. I know the there is a perfect diet for all IBD sufferers that will mitigate or eliminate the condition, however is so personal and so very tricky.

I glanced at this book, but was turned off by the vegan aspect. Sorry, but I like meat! I have been doing the "specific carbohydrate diet" with great success! You do eat meat and cheese on this diet, but no sugar, starches, or grains.
I find it interesting that you can tolerate raw fruits and veggies when your in a flare? How does that work? I don't think my body could handle that right now.

Although I too can see where the raw diet can help some, there are many things on the raw diet my stomach will not handle. Going vegetarian instead can be a problem for me, because I cant deal with soy products , beans, and or peanuts , therefore I need my milk and cheese and daily fish to fulfill my protein. needs. . For that matter, although I found meats like beef hard on my CD and found other people with CD/ Colitis benefited by saying No! to red meats. On the other hand, even being on a SCD, can be a challenger for me since I am gluten intolerant. So like most people with CD/UC, I have had to experiment with my diet until I find one that works for me.

After battling CD all my life, I can honestly say that I have found away to dealing with my symptoms with out medicationhttp://nanasworksheets.com/grace.html

hey guys,

i agree that eating raw veg and some fruits are bad for uc and crohns such as acidic fruit. but when you have healed thay are ok to eat. all this is mentioned in kleins book. he has a healing phase diet which lists whatr foods are ok to eat such as bananas, apples, melons(but only by themselves), grapes, pears, celery, sweet potatoes and carrots(only cooked, steamed preferably), among others.

Jon

hey missallie,

you say that you eat meat.

do you flare up often?

Jonge - I am currently in a flare up right now...but had not had one in 9 years. I started the "specific carbohydrate diet" a little over a week ago and have improved a lot. You eat meat on the diet - for the first week I only ate boiled chicken, baked fish and cooked carrots.
I am not knocking the vegan diet - I am sure it is a wonderful diet and has helped a lot of people! I may get the book just for more information and for something else to try, but the SCD has really helped me and I know it has worked for a lot of others as well.

Hi Guys,

Gotta be honest I havet eaten any raw uncooked veg nor have I juiced any veg....I couldt handle the taste...but just Apple and celery juice(5 glasses),ocasssionaly added carrot and Black grape...and ate about 4-5 RIPE Bananas per day ...NOTHING ELSE for first 4- 5 days ...the results were amazing...

Than strted Stamed veg Potatoes ,sweet potatoes,carrots, and do have ocassinal cooked meal...also love Cottage cheese Curry...and some reason have no problem with it...but only have treat once a week...But still juice to stay detoxed...

I can understand meat eaters would find difficult...to go vegan...therefore I guess Missallie sugesion may be good alternative...

Sorry forgot to mention....Yoga is something I have added....I just do 2 particuar exercises....details on my David Klein book review on Amazon Uk.

The claim by the Yoga teacher....is to practice atleast these 2 exercises ...to cure UC ....PERMANANTLY.....as drugs only supress the symptoms....

However I havent seen any evidence of this ....but he is the worlds most honest and foremost Yoga teachers and teaches upto 30,000 people in his camps....TOTALLY FREE...

hey indie,

can you give me some more info on this yoga teacher. and what the yoga moves he claims can cure uc are called.

cheers,

Jon

hey missallie,

i think thats amazing that nyou went 9 years without a flareup. cold you tell me what you did during those nine years that you think made this possible.

also what do you think caused your uc. was it a stressful event?

regards,

Jon

missallie,

i forgot to say that i miss meat a lot so i am interested in giving this diet a go. do you know any others that suffer from uc and have used this diet.

Jon

Hi

swami ramdev is a Yoga guru ...he has devoted his life to free teaching of Yoga..to one and all...

His Yoga camps can have upto Thirty thousand people

There homepage is

http://www.divyayoga.com/main.htm

There are many You tube videos ...many are in Hindi (Indian Language)....However I found a the following in English...

The first talks about constipation and stomach ailments....but he talks about Colitis during video...
You may feel constipation may not be related to Colitis...but stomach condition is big key towards cure...

Please watch...will help....You dont need the remedies I followed David kleins method...but Apple and Pear also Papaya have been mentioned to be Excellent Detoxers by both ...

The second which I use every morning...is specific to exercises...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Jnra2O9Fc&feature=channel

Main yoga Exercises mentioned in other Hindi videos for Colitis are

.Kapalbhati and Anuloma-Viloma......

Also Brahmni Prnayam ...but this for attaining peaceful mind...really does work...

I was told by my senior colitis specialist to practice yoga and also to sit in the sun and gain the all important Vitamin D...funny enough David mentions same....sit in the sun for 20- 30mins daily...very good for you.

Hope this helps...
