Healing with Nutrition and remission


Sun, March 08, 2009 1:00 AM

Currently I'm over 1 year into my healing through nutrition.  I have reduced my meds inhalf and believe one day I will be med free.  I'm not the first nor the last to take this approach. Since turing my health around I have dramiticaly increased my energy, lost 45 lbs of fat, no longer fear to leave the house and my eczema has improved...ohh and my UC is in remisson.

Here are links to other people's websites that have cured themselves through proper diet and nutrition. 

The one who started the whole approach to healing through nutrition is Elaine Gottschall who cured her daughter with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.  http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/index.htm

Another person who had Crohns.  http://nomorecrohns.com/default.aspx

This guy is currently in the middle of healing himself.  Very straight foward.   http://www.crohnsboy.com/

Jini Patel Thompson has cured her IBD with her version of the elemental diet.  http://www.jinipatelthompson.com/

Here is another one who has cured herself through nutriton. http://www.wholenourishment.com/

Good luck to all who try to heal themselves.  The path maybe be tough at times but the payoff is amazing.
