We were not designed or born into this world to be sick with inflamed bowels. Our genes do not cause us to become sick with inflammatory bowel disease, but, rather, our diets, lifestyles and thoughts are the causes – and they can all be corrected and we can and will heal if we implement the right healing plan.

The body is a perfectly designed self-healing organism and bowel inflammation is not a runaway problem, but a sign that the body has been harmed and is vigorously attempting to heal itself, and will gratefully do so if the causes of disease are discontinued and the biological requisites of health are provided. The solution to bowel disease is to identify the harmful factors, discontinue them and implement a new healthful lifestyle with health-promoting practices. A few million people have done this and overcome all kinds of debilitating disease conditions, including inflammatory and irritable bowel diseases, and so can you!

Contrary to conventional belief, there is no mystery behind why we become sick and there is no lack of understanding of how to overcome disease, heal and rejuvenate – those who are knowledgeable of the Natural Hygiene system of self-healthcare have assisted or them self overcome diseases which include colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, ileitis, irritable bowel syndrome and every other gastrointestinal malady man has ever experienced, including some cases of cancer.

Herein is a specialized Hygienic healing plan for those who wish to overcome bowel disease and create disease-free vigorous health. All of this information is not based upon theories or anything that the author invented. Hygienic healing, i.e., cooperating with nature, removing the causes of disease and fulfilling our biological requisites for health, is the way that all creatures have always healed and maintained their health. Over the last 200 years, a few million people have done so as well, including tens of thousands of the author’s clients and his hygienic physician associates’ clients, too. By deeply delving into these new teachings, letting go of old erroneous beliefs, and embracing a new naturally healthful course of action, anyone can dramatically improve his or her condition, and most can go on to master their health and avoid inflammatory bowel problems for the rest of their lives. With proper understanding and help and passionate intention, the goal of disease-free health can be manifested. It takes dedication, work and patience, but it only gets better and better when one immerses oneself in it mind, body and soul. I know – I did it!

In 1984 I began a recovery from the devastating effects of almost nine previous years of ulcerative colitis, which began when I was 17 years old. During my illness, I ate my usual meat and bread-based diet (the "Standard American Diet", or "SAD"), and was under only medical guidance which consisted of examinations by gastroenterologists, hospitalizations and drug treatment. All of the seven gastroenterologists I saw told me that diet was not a factor in my illness, that there was no known cause of ulcerative colitis, and the only available treatments were drugs, and if they didn't work, then surgical removal of my colon was the best alternative.

In the last year of my illness, my colon was ravaged with ulcerations and my health was in ruins, and surgical removal of my colon was recommended. At that time, I was consulting a nutrition guidance counselor who had a doctorate in Natural Hygiene. He recommended that I follow a natural diet of essentially only fruits and vegetables (a Natural Hygiene program, which has since been popularized by the best-selling book Fit For Life, written by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond).

At first I rejected this advice; however, I slowly began to clean up my diet. Still, my colon was inflamed and ulcerated. In October of 1984, just after a gastroenterologist recommended a colostomy (surgical removal of my colon), my fortune changed as one night my studies lead to a profound understanding about how dietary change could help transform my health. I saw the value of eating the diet which early man originally ate, and which our digestive physiology was designed for: mostly fruits, with some vegetables, seeds and nuts, and no animal products. The next day I changed from the SAD to a natural diet of mostly uncooked fruits and vegetables. I also ceased using medicines for good (I had been on low dosages at the time). The result was astonishing, but typical: my colon immediately and rapidly began healing up, and totally and permanently healed up within four weeks.

From there I went on to rejuvenate my severely depleted body. Since the day I changed my diet, I have immersed myself in the study of natural healing and worked on completely rebuilding my health without the use of any medications or other unnatural intervention.

Today I am in excellent health and fitness at age 47, and feel like a teen. I am very passionate about teaching others with C&C how to regain their health by making sensible dietary and lifestyle changes, because I believe that all C&C suffers deserve the same chance to learn about the body's innate ability to heal itself naturally. If you need inspiration to get going and to keep it going, I am glad to help.

Yours in health,

Summary
Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's

Colitis and Crohn's disease (C&C) are endemic to cultures where muscle meats and refined foods are eaten as a major portion of the diet, and where lifestyles have significant stress levels. Colon and ileum inflammation are an indication that the body is attempting to purify itself of accumulated toxic matter and heal itself. Inflammation is always the body's intelligent action/response to purify itself of harmful, toxic, irritating poisons and wastes. The healing action is impeded and diseased condition is perpetuated or exacerbated if one continues an improper diet and harmful drug therapy.

In view of the evidence showing how many people have resolved their colitis or Crohn's disease by changing to a predominantly whole foods, vegetarian diet, or raw foods diet (like the author), and by incorporating stress management techniques, it is, therefore, suggested that it is best to approach C&C in a wholistic context through dietary and lifestyle changes. A wholistic approach to overcoming C&C should include health education and the implementation of a health program which includes:

  1. a whole foods vegan (no animal-derived foods) diet and juicing;
  2. extra sleep and complete rest (sabbatical from work or school);
  3. proper exercise;
  4. emotional counseling;
  5. peer support;
  6. medical cooperation.
