Reverse Gut Diseases Naturally: Cures for Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, IBS, and More

Unfortunately I found this book after losing some of my intestines to Crohn's Disease. But, I am following the recommendations to avoid it coming back again. I ate healthier than most before all of this, but now I follow the Whole Foods Diet, the advice in this book and also make Green Smoothies (The Green Smoothie Girl) adding ginger and slippery elm bark to my breakfast protein smoothie and my 3 x's a day green smoothie as advised in this book. I feel better than I have in over 10 years. I recently learned that the metals in our mouth from the dentist may have A LOT to do with causing auto-immune diseases, so I recommend looking into having amalgam fillings removed and doing a metals detox, along with reading this book. I recommended this book to someone at work who has a cousin suffering from Crohn's disease. I asked if they bought the book and she said yes. Her cousin has not only been able to gain some weight, but is doing MUCH better because of this book! I was happy to hear this. I also told my Gastroenterologist about this book when he asked me how I was doing and what I was doing. I think I taught him a thing or two because he did not make any suggestions at all other than, "keep up the good work and what you're doing," when I told him how much better I am doing. I'm eating a vegetarian diet, mostly, and I'm sure this helps.

I believe working on my stress, prayer and and following a lot of the information in this book is healing my chrons. This book is easy to understand and follow. I'm very greatful for this book.

It had lots of informative information that others had not writtten about

Very good guide,excellent information

This book has you jumping forward and backwards and is contradictory at times. While it has good information in it, I was expecting a STEP-BY-STEP guide. Like, do this, this and this. At first you think you have It down then you get to another chapter and it says something totally different. I bought all the supplements recommended in the book as listed in the quick start section (chapter 5) but when I got to a chapter further back, it doesn't even mention taking more than half the supplements she says you must have. I'm plugging along and incorporating as much as I can, but I honestly have no idea if I'm doing it right. Time will tell. I think the book could been written better and in a more concise manner. Like I said, in one chapter it says to do this and in anothe chapter it says to do this. Head is spinning!! **update 7/26/16** the author has you taking comfrey root internally as a tea and via enema. Everything I am reading about comfrey states NOT to take it internally as it has properties that cause liver damage and may cause cancer. Why would anyone recommend this. I'm all for natural, but just because it's natural does not mean it's safe. Will stick with just slippery elm bark for a tea and enema. I'm not taking Humira because of the side effects....not taking comfrey either. Will continue to update my review. Total waste of money buying the comfrey, but I can use it as a salve/poultice for skin infections.

This book saved my sons life who had suffered with Crohnes Disease for over 20 years.! The book is easily laid out in a step by step approach. I could not believe the amount of improvement of my son. His severe bleeding started to slow down immediately and by the end of 2 months - had totally stopped. Cramping in the stomach disappeared . He went from having 20 loose and runny bowel stools in ONE DAY to having 2 NORMAL bowel movements by the end of 2 months. His depression subsided and was out socializing again. I cannot say enough about Dr. Honda book... Yes there are some strict diet protocols to adhere to ...but when you begin to see results like these.... you really welcome the knowledge and advice. Give this book a chance ... and SEE IMMEDIATE results!!

I recently finished reading those topics in this very interesting and comprehensive book that are of particular interest to me (IBS, Diverticulosis and Constipation). I was drawn to this book due to a renewed interest in the benefits of a proper diet as well as a better understanding of what is required to reduce one's sugar intake. I found a lot of good information in Dr. Honda's book in these regards. My concerns about the long term effects of IBS and related bouts of constipation were put into perspective. I have known for quite some time that the body is keenly responsive to a change in eating habits and this book gave me the type of road map I've been looking to help me start making those changes. I was very inspired by the successes that are attributed to following the advice given in this book. I was particularly encouraged by a statement; "When the body is enabled to do its job, even seemingly insurmountable feats of healing can be accomplished." I have already started reaping some of the rewards that I had hoped for by following the steps listed in Chapter 5, page 60. To all who are attempting to make the necessary changes noted within this great book, I wish a speedy return to good health as well as a big thank you to the author Dr. Honda.

A confused mishmash of information. You could watch a dozen youtube videos to achieve the same level of confusion. She can't tell you the answer right now because it is in various other chapters: "you should seek to read as much of the book as possible..." if you don't get too irritated and throw the book on the fire. If miraculously you do hit on a valuable piece of information you better write it down because you will not be able to find it again. Like combine what with what again? ...oh hell I forgot already. So basically: just stop enjoying coffee, buy a juicer and 100 pounds of carrots etc which may not help so see other chapters for more on that. The total lack of functional format and aggravating run-around made the condition worse.
