Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's (Paperback)
I've come to learn that my story is not much different from that of other IBD sufferers. I was living a happy and healthy life, when one day, for no apparent reason, I suddenly began to experience abdominal cramps and loose stools. Over time, this progressed to debilitating abdominal pain and 20+ bloody and mucoid bowel movements each day. As I am training to be a medical doctor myself, I naturally turned to traditional medicine for answers. Definitive answers, though, were far from what I got. Nonetheless, traditional medicine was all I knew. So despite its obvious gaps in knowledge on this matter, I took a leap of faith and followed the directions given to me. I tried just about every anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and over-the-counter analgesic available. I went through numerous courses of steroids and even an immunosuppressant. For about a year, I let the doctors adjust and readjust medication dosages in the hopes that they would eventually find the key and would be able to protect me from having a colectomy. During this year, life as I knew it, was over. I had to take leave from school, lost about 60 pounds, spent 10 days in the hospital, experienced indescribable abdominal pain, became house-bound due to the frequency of bowel movements, took around 20+ pills daily, incurred numerous side effects to these various medications, and spent thousands of dollars on treatments that did not help. My own observations led me to believe that the treatments I was being given were actually worsening my condition. But what could I do? After all, I had to follow the advice of my experienced doctors, right? Wrong. One day, I finally realized that if all these medications weren't helping, then how could I justify the side effects and expense. I understood what the doctors were saying when they strongly advised me not to stop my treatment, but I also realized that no study that they quoted could ever hold a candle to my own experiences. I was slowly and painfully dying at the age of 27, and nothing that they were doing for me was of any help at all. Traditional medicine has done wondrous things for many people, including myself, over the years, but in the case of IBD, it did not have answer for me and I needed to look elsewhere. Everything changed for me when I MIRACULOUSLY found Dave's book online. I don't doubt that I likely would have dismissed his theories as nonsense if I came across them month 1. But I was now in month 11 and was meeting with a surgeon to discuss having a colectomy. So, I read his book and for the first time felt like someone else understood my predicament. The things he said were in direct agreement with my own experiences and observations. For the first time in a long time, I was filled with hope and felt as if this illness might be manageable. I am now at month 15 and have been free of medications and doctor visits. I've spoken to Dave numerous times over the telephone and through email. He has done nothing less than nurse me back to health. Dave has given me my life back. How do you repay someone for that? Many of the doctors I work with are quite interested to hear my story. They are astonished that detox and diet have played such a crucial role in my treatment. Such a concept remains foreign to allopathic physicians. A few of these doctors tell me that they have heard similar stories from some of their own patients, but in the end, these doctors have no training or understanding of nutrition and natural healing and can do little more than simply listen to my story.
