Book Synopsis
This book tells the story and teaches the lessons of a two-decade healing journey.
Learn what it took to go from severe ulcerative colitis back to full health and complete remission – without medication.
This book is part healing autobiography and part how-to manual. Written by a former biotech scientist who lost his health to severe ulcerative colitis back in 2004 and was determined to regain it.
Naturally. With no medication.
It details the good, the bad and the ugly of the entire two-decade journey from 2004 to today, 2023.
The journey moves through fasting, juicing, vegetarianism and raw vegan eating to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. There were exotic probiotic strains, naturopaths, coaches, quacks and incompetent healers of every kind.
There was fermented goat milk, cow’s milk practically straight from the udder and all kinds of home-fermented yogurt and kefir. Liquid clay was a regular beverage for years with no healing results to show.
You’ll learn what works and what doesn’t from the difficult experiences of the author and others.
Save yourself years of pain, trial and error.
Real Healing is Possible
There’s a vast amount of healing available to most anyone with ulcerative colitis – without medication or exotic nutritional supplements. Using real, whole foods and a principled, disciplined approach with real science behind it.
The vast majority of information about eating for UC is just plain wrong. It’s usually written by someone who doesn’t even have UC.
When all the inflammatory and immune stimulating foods are removed from the diet long term, magic happens.
Add in the right lifestyle practices and, possibly, medical cannabis and you have the foundation for real and complete healing of UC.
The Emerging Field of Cannabis Medicine
If medical marijuana is an option for you – or should be – Healing Ulcerative Colitis Mind, Body and Spirit will introduce you to this effective, gentle and increasingly popular and available natural medicine for UC.
These sections on cannabis build on the author’s 10 years of experience using medical marijuana for UC personally – with real success.
Learn about modern smokeless and UC-specific cannabis products available to medical marijuana users with UC. Learn the most effective products and methods for using cannabis for UC.
Spiritual and Energetic Factors in Ulcerative Colitis
Uncover the hidden, little-known and nebulous factors that block and frustrate even the most advanced and experienced with ulcerative colitis.
Totally unique to this work is an in-depth discussion of the various spiritual and psychological roots and causes of UC which include:
- How past trauma and abuse manifest in present-day illness and events
- How spiritual principles are translated into physical practices
- How to use the chakra system as a theoretical framework for healing UC
- How problems with codependency and interpersonal boundaries relate to UC
- How emotional illness and UC interrelate
- Romantic relationships, boundaries and UC
Healing Ulcerative Colitis Mind, Body and Spirit was written to give anyone with UC – from recently diagnosed to chronic sufferers and everyone in between – the best chance to thrive and the most complete information to make the best choices for treatment, healing and long-term health!
