Self Healing Colitis & Crohns: The Complete Wholistic Guide to Healing the Gut & Staying Well

I was so much doubtful while ordering this book because the first thought that came to my *logical* mind is: so many people are suffering from this UC and Crohns and if the author claims that this works 100%, why is this book not very very popular and why only 74 reviews, why not 74 thousand? In any case meds were not working for me so trying this diet, I had nothing to loose. I have UC since last 8 years and I have been on prednisone but this year prednisone also stopped working. I studied the book completely and tried vegan healing protocol strictly for 2 months and guess what all my UC symptoms disappeared completely. Now I am the happiest person on earth as I am completely off all meds, eating vegan food and following post vegan healing protocol. Also during this journey certain events unfolded exactly as predicted by Dr Klein (Yes I took phone consultation with him). In our first consultation he told me certain things such as, (1) It will take 1 to 2 months time period to see improvement: I am 95% symptoms free after 2 months. (Caveat: healing time varies from person to person, the past medical history etc so please don't take 2 months timeline as a standard for everyone, there are people for whom it took 4 or 6 months too) (2) Initially due to detox the symptoms will get little worse before you notice any improvement: After being on diet for 2 weeks my bowel movements doubled, I had so much weight loss, my energy was down and I was having horrible stomach pain (3) He said for certain time period you loose weight then it becomes constant and then it increases slowly: When I started this I was 135 lb, I went down to 110 lb and then I notice improvements in my symptoms. Around this time my weight became constant for a month and now I have started gaining it slowly. Dr Klein knows what he is talking about in this book and protocol taught in this book is I think THE WAY to cure UC and Crohns. During this amazing journey Dr Klein put me in contact with so many amazing people who have healed before and talking with those people helped me stayed on course. I also took consultation from high carb health guys (just search high carb health in youtube) and that was also pretty useful. After going through this journey, I got the answer of my doubts. Q: Why is Dr Klein or this book is not very popular? A: For two reasons (1) Doing this diet requires courage and determination. I think majority of people lack this especially in a society that is completely brain washed by main stream medical science, confusing information on nutrition and our dear doctors. There is just so much fear induced by society in our brains that most of us don't have courage to stop meds and accept natural way of healing. Also the world is now full of so much misinformation on nutrition: even if you talk about giving up meat, people ask *but from where are you going to get your protein?* I really feel we as humans are so dumb and we are our own worst enemies! (2) Pharma industry never wants this kind of research to gain popularity as it means hundreds of billions of $ revenue loss. Humira alone costs more then 10 thousand $ a year and we have 200 thousand people getting diagnosed every year (on top of current UC and crohns patients). You do your math to find out revenue loss for pharma companies if everyone goes on natural healing route. I am on post healing protocol and will update after 6 months or so. But any of my fellow UC/Crohn brothers and sisters please try this out, it is totally worth it. The book has been so much enlightening that I recommend it for any health person not having a single health issue. It will open up your perspective on health, nutrition and disease. UPDATE (March, 2020) I finished 6 months being symptoms free and now it is 10 months that I stopped taking all meds. This diet just WORKS. Also check highcarbhealth.com, those guys teach the same protocol. There have been numerous other people who are benefiting. I am in contact with a lady in Idaho who also became symptoms free following this diet. For her it took around 6 months so the time period varies from person to person but if you stick to it, it is guaranteed to work!

I have suffered from colitis and crohns for 7 years. THIS BOOK changed my life in 7 DAYS! I also suffer from celiac, and will not belabor the pain, physical and emotional struggles of having these 3 diseases. I have refused treatment w/ modern prescriptions and went the so-called "natural" route for 5 years. I only became moderately better in beginning, only to experience flareups that became progressively worse. I had spent every dime I had on traditional doctors, natural doctors, vitamins, remedies, to no avail. In desperation I found this book. Having already been vegetarian for 4 yrs and vegan for 8 mos, the transition was not so hard, except for giving up the decaf coffee and salt. As soon as I let go of these things, on day 7, my world turned around! My bowels were normal after 7 years of dysfunction! I replaced my coffee with warm, pure water in the morning. I replaced my grapefruit or gluten free toast with ripe bananas and date smoothies for breakfast and enjoy the lunch and dinner guidelines for the healing phase. I am in DAY 8, after being sick for 2,555 days, not one day without pain and problems, and I am eating without pain, and can feel my body detoxing all the garbage I put in it, hoping to fix my body. Dr. Klein's analysis is brilliant and true. MY BODY HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIX MY BODY all along! I just had to stop interrupting it. I know several people suffering w/ C&C and am urging them to get off the Big Pharm merry-go-round that just keeps them sicker, promotes disease, and makes a lot of people rich in the process. The anti-inflammatories don't work. Eating a diet of meat, scrambled eggs, toast and mashed potatoes certainly won't work. Please, please, please, if you are sick with an inflammatory bowel condition, or just want vital health to be yours, buy this book! It has literally changed my life in a short time. I know because of years of damage from celiac and C&C, I have a way to go and the cravings for the offending foods are tough sometimes, but I know after a few days this is a healthier way to live. Dense, water rich, ripe foods, raw, tasty, nourishing. I never believed I could give up salt, but after a day or two, I actually started tasting the food. Beyond anything else, I, like many C&C sufferers reached the point where I would do anything to get better. I am grateful for this book and carry it with me every day so I can re-read the foods and plan for the healing stage I am in. I can't wait until I am in post-healing! Thank you Dr. Klein for your revolutionary work in this area.

My name is Collette and I just bought this book from Amazon with the help of my friend Ron, and I can see it is a very good and informative book. However, I don't quite trust the author, as I bought a book from him years ago from his company. The book turned out to be a misprint, and therefore not readable in a portion of it. I called Mr. Klein and politely explained the problem, asking that he send me a good copy...surprisingly, he was indignant and a bit angry and refused. So -- let's get this straight -- he made a profit on the money I sent, and I was left with a defective book. As a book seller, I give him ZERO points for integrity and honesty -- he took no responsibility and the responsibility should have been his to give me a readable book for my money. I lost respect for him as a fair man with sound business principles. This he wasn't. However, the book he wrote is good so I will give it four stars, but I no longer trust the man himself (we had corresponded for a time about the live food diet and had even met in person once). However, this incident ended our acquaintanceship of several years time, and I haven't spoken to him since.

This book has changed my life, I've been to doctors and been on medications not knowing what to do with my life. I have Ulcerative Colitis and in the time of desperate need this book appeared online, I bought it and let's just say that Dr. David Klein is one of the wisest men on Earth. Anyone interested in jumpstarting their lives for the positive in every aspect, this book will more than satisfy that need in a very comprehensive way. Nutrition, healing, knowledge, love, care, dedication, passion, determination, support, value, morals, quality, loyalty, sincerity, this book has everything you need to know to posses the tools to grip your life turn it around and become the healthiest and happiest person you could possible ever be in your lifetime. This book is priceless. Dr. David Klein is a legit, true altruist and he enlightens anybody who has the courage to make the first step to self recovery and self healing. You don't have to have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease to get what this book will do to your life. It will nourish your whole being to the point that you will never ever have any regrets in your life. You will become the best person you could possibly be and you will love yourself unconditionally, wholly and eternally. I will always be grateful to Dr. Klein for his support he is a real person who cares about people and the world. He is a true hero and an exceptional human being! Buy this book now you will never regret it. You will be glad you did. You will wake up saying to yourself I love my life and I love myself. You will become the you that you always dreamt of!

Took me less than a week to get better after years of treatments and going to blabbermouth doctors who don't know anything about people and know everything on how to take advantage of them. Be a revolutionary, don't be one of the pack, buy this book, change your life and change others lives, is your calling!

"Ulcerative Colitis? What is that?" I'd never heard of it. We are a very healthy family, or so I thought. I couldn't believe this was the diagnosis of my then, 14 year old daughter. We were informed by her Pediatric GI that she had a chronic illness in her colon and would most likely be on medication the rest of her life. A young athlete, now had to be on medication the rest of her life? She started out with Lialda, then Canassa, and because the bleeding and loose stools were getting worse along with several bowel movements a day, not to mention cramping and pain, we had no choice but to do the medication. Soon she was moved up to steroids. What about diet? Low fiber low residue foods, example: cream of wheat other wise known as wall paper paste! Nothing worked for three months and she was getting anemic. 40 mg a day of prednisone. This went on for a few weeks and I thought that was going to be the quick fix. No! Doctor wanted to increase to 60 or admit to the hospital for IV steroids and monitor Celia so the bleeding would stop. There had to be something else. I could not believe that food was not a part of all this as I was being told it was not. I spent quite a bit of time researching and fortunately, found Dr. Klein. After a long deliberation at home, our family agreed we would seek his services and have him counsel our daughter. Thirteen days after she started the healing diet, there was no more bleeding, her stools were starting to look normal and her body was healing. We did the "happy dance". Because her physician was not supportive of this diet, we had to seek an outside GI to advise us on the tapering of the prednisone. Today, our daughter, 15 is a happy healed champ swimmer and continues to thrive as a young teen, student and athlete. She eats only plant based and follows the principles of Klein's diet. The choice was simple: medications and eat whatever you want or eat what is nutritious for your body and live a drug free life. The latter of course, it's a no brainer. Our whole family, including myself, husband and son are healthier for it, as I have implemented a healthier lifestyle for all of us. Thank you Dr. Klein for turning your experience into an educational opportunity for helping others heal without drugs.

My son was recently diagnosed with UC. While some of the information makes sense, I believe that the diet is greatly lacking in essential nutrients needed for healing. My son is going to try to trial the diet once out of his current flare. I am fearful as there doesn't seem to be any literature supporting any of the authors claims, except for his own. We will see.

It has been a year since I started the Self Healing Colitis and Crohn’s (SHCC) transition diet and about 9 months since completing the healing diet with HighCarbHealth. Although this is not a weight loss book, I lost 25 pounds (from 170 to 145 pounds and remain at this weight level) . I was diagnosed with Chron’s disease 3 years ago but suffered from this disease for several years prior to diagnosis. Since completing the SHCC healing diet, my blood test results have showed very low inflammation at 0, 3 and 9 months. This book or program is very difficult and requires incredible discipline and I still follow most of the principles learned. My suggest would be to also consult with HighCarbHealth for coaching and support through this process. I did and could not be happier for using both SHCC book and HighCarbHealth.

I suffered with Ulcerative Colitis for 3 years. I was taking several medications including a steriod for extended periods of time to try to control the disease. When I saw the book I was very skeptical at first. But after I read this book I immediately began doing the vegan diet and within 4 days began to feel better. I stopped eating all animal products and dairy and ate only fruits and vegetables. The book specifically stated what foods to eat and in what combination to eat them and even said at what times of the day to eat certain foods. What I appreciated most about the book was the level of detail that the author goes in to about how food breaks down in the body and why eating certain combinations of foods work to heal the body. The author is very specific about how to execute the diet and how to make it work within the framework of our busy lives Since he is a scientist, he describes how foods are composed and how they interact with each other within the body. He draws a roadmap of sorts, to navigate the best way to eat foods that will help a body heal from disease and ultimately maintain a healthy way of life. After 2 weeks of following the diet, I was able to stop taking all my prescription medication as well as any supplements. It is now one month later and my symptoms have significantly subsided and I am pain free. I am sleeping through the night without having to get up to go to the bathroom and I am starting to regain my energy level. If you are looking for a way to live pain free and without medication for your digestive problems, I recommend this book for a healthy way to live your life.

This book has helped me immensely. We are all different and react differently to a variety of foods. If you suffer form Chrones or Colitis, you know what I mean. I have UC and UP, and it’s been a long journey. I was on SCD For over a year, it helped. Then I started even stricter by combining SCD and FODMAP, with the SCD as the main. It got pretty tough, and only helped. The real change came for me with animal products. I was a meat eater. Lots and lots of meat. At first, switching to an all vegan diet was incredibly tough for me. And a complete 180, I actually got worse for a few weeks. But then I noticed things were changing, for the better. Still was a tough transition. After several weeks, I started adding in a bit of chicken now and then. No other animal products. None. Not much chicken either, just a little once or maybe twice a week. Eventually as I learn more about how to prepare a vegan diet, I will transition away from that too. And, I’m ok with it. I’m not cured, as many will say, but this did change everything. It’s only been about 2 months for me, but what a difference. Anyway, if your going to try it, get a good juicer right away. The juice part of it to me is great! So far it’s a huge help to me. The biggest thing for me, was consuming enough calories. I just dove into this, along with other vegan diets, such as the Engine Two diet. But diving in, was tough to do after a few weeks, because I just didn’t have the knowledge to eat a complete balanced diet, or how much, or when, etc etc etc. Diving in is great, a transition is also great. Ll depends on your system, your needs, and your knowledge base. I highly recommend this as part of your C&C remedy. Good luck.

Buonasera a Tutti. Attenzione che questo libro con una colite in fase attiva non è per niente indicato. Consiglio comunque a tutti l'acquisto perché fornisce importantissime informazioni molti importanti sulla combinazione dei cibi e sull'igienismo naturale. Quando sarò guarito potrò permettermi una dieta del genere e molto probabilmente la farò ma per uscire dalla colite ulcerosa non è un buon approccio. Col discorso che si basa su una dieta a base di soli carboidrati e non fa alcun intervento sul microbiota si rischia di avere delle acutizzazioni importanti. Quando si parla di colite ulcerosa si parla anche di disbiosi intestinale e dà da mangiare così tanti carboidrati a un intestino che non ha i batteri Giusti è molto rischioso. Inoltre l'autore a quei tempi (libro datato), considera tutti i sintomi come delle crisi eliminative, non sono crisi eliminative, sono squilibri del macrobiota. Ci sono persone che seguono questo approccio (Highcarbhealth), si fanno pagare profumatamente e non hanno alcuna conoscenza del microbiota e non fanno alcun intervento mirato per riequilibrarlo. Seguono la lettera al libro e non hanno alcuna conoscenza di tipo medico e dettagliato. Sconsiglio anche loro.

This was a hard read for me but I am glad I stuck with it. Transitioning to vegan mainly raw diet is definitely helping me with my ulcerative colitis. I am only a month into my new healthy eating and I can see massive difference. It is not easy by any means and I do have the odd cheat day. I am just saw happy I came across this book.

Jeder, der auf der Suche nach einer echten Lösung zur dauerhaften Heilung von Morbus Crohn und Colitis (sowie den meisten anderen "Krankheiten") ist, sollte hier zugreifen und sich auf all die zunächst befremdlich erscheinenden Ratschläge und Informationen einlassen, es zumindest einmal auf sich wirken lassen. Anders als die Schulmedizin oder allgemein die meisten Internisten behaupten, dass die Ernährung keine große Rolle spielt, stützt sich Dr. Dave Klein eben gerade auf eine Ernährungsumstellung als Eigeninitiative zur Heilung und wichtigen Bestandteil eines gesunden Lebens. Dabei hat der Autor selbst 8 qualvolle Jahre hinter sich, dann im letzten Moment mit drohendem chirurgischen Eingriff radikal die Kurve gedreht, seit jeher zahlreiche Betroffene bei der Helling unterstützt und lebt nun seit über 30 Jahren frei von sämtlichen Symptomen. Ich selbst bin seit 2 Jahren frei von Entzündungen und Schmerzen. Kernaussage und Zitat des Autors: "Um CED vollständig zu heilen und sich auf den Weg zu einer dauerhaften CED-freien pulsierenden Gesundheit zu begeben, müssen Sie sich vollständig entgiften. Sie können dies tun, während Sie Ihren Körper mit dem Frucht-basierten veganen Heilungsplan versorgen. Der Körper wird nicht ganz gesund werden, wenn man nicht mit ihm kooperiert und sich vollständig "ausputzt". Wenn Sie immer noch Giftstoffe beherbergen und einige giftige, unverdauliche Nahrungsmittel essen, werden Sie für den Rest Ihres Lebens krank sein." Noch zwei Gedanken: Ziel der modernen Medizin ist die Behandlung von Symptomen, nicht aber die Erzeugung von Gesundheit. Eine Dosis des Immunsuppressivum Remicade kostet 2500€ aufwärts, das Buch ist mit seinen 20€ meiner Erfahrung nach mehr wert. Leider ist das Werk bisher nur in englischer Fassung erschienen, auf der Homepage des Autors gibt es auch eine Kurzfassung auf Deutsch, mit der ich allerdings keine Erfahrung habe. Ich kann das Buch nur von ganzem Herzen empfehlen!

It has lots of information to heal the gut 👌👌
