Hello Dave,

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that after just two weeks with fruits and veggies I am already seeing a healthier pattern and lifestyle. I feel much healthier, alive and awake, also less irritable to run to the bathroom so frequent. I mostly follow the diet from your book "Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's" I recieved from you. Thanks so much.

Dave, this is the best in my life I've ever had bowel movements. It's effortless--like a marvel. I've been on your diet for two weeks and it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I'm on no medications and feel great. I can't thank you enough. After searching and trying alternative therapies for years, your help has been invaluable.

The diet you advocate afforded me wonderful improvement. My bowel and arthritic episodes were brought brought down to a sustainable pain level after 2 to 3 weeks instead of the previous 2 to 3 months after a flare up. I wanted to pass on some information for should you encounter someone with polyarthritis in conjunction with Crohn's. I searched all the arthritis and allergy web sites for vegetable foods that trigger arthritic episodes. I subsequently removed corn (acid forming), cabbage, peas (metabolic waste produced by digestion of cabbage and peas is hippuric acid which obviously my liver cannot detoxify) and the nightshade family (which contain a toxin called solanine which my liver cannot handle) from my diet. I had been juicing cabbage daily and eating peas, tomatoes, sweet peppers and potatoes on a daily basis as well. I also removed all acid forming protein sources from my diet: nuts, seeds, coconut and olives. After 4 days the pain finally released it's grip on my body. I feel human again.

I began the new health program with hopes that this would cure my 3-year Crohn’s illness and fistulas, or at least make my life a lot better. I noticed a major difference on Day 3, when my cramps, mouth ulcers and pimples began disappearing and my stools became smaller and very easy to pass--having a bowel movement had become pleasurable at last! In just 3 days the blood discharge had reduced from a great amount to a trickle, and most of the pain had subsided. My energy level became good as the program apparently started to work. The bleeding further diminished within a week, then for the next 7 days I had no symptoms at all: no bleeding, cramping and no large stools.

“We just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for your work. Our daughter Caroline, age 13, is completely off all drugs and has not had a flare-up in six months. Your research and lifetime commitment have allowed our daughter to have a normal adolescence free of drugs. Thank God for people like you who dare to question the medical establishment. Keep up the good work.”

Dear Dave,

Thank you for returning my call. I must say I was very impressed that you called. I received your book, and what an eye opener it has been for me. I‘ve stopped eating all meat products and I'm amazed that I don't even having a craving for it. My diet consists primarily of vegetables and fruits. I wanted to let you know that I haven't had one bout of diarrhea in over a week. All I can say is, "Yippee, Hooray” and all that good stuff! I mean this sincerely, because I have experienced diarrhea almost everyday for a year. My husband has noticed that I have more energy, and even my skin tone has improved. All of this in just one week. I also realize that I still have work to do in order to continue the healing process, but in just one week I am feeling much better. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and outstanding knowledge so that others might experience optimum health and happiness. Your book should be on every Best Sellers List.

“We would never be able to thank you enough! It is now six months and Jacob has continued to be entirely healthy and symptom free from Crohn’s. It is amazing how he has turned his diet around completely and found that he really enjoys healthful food and does not crave animal products. Jacob, was a sworn avocado hater, but you suggested he mash avocado into potato which he did and liked, and gradually avocado became one of his favorite foods. He has even invented his own pasta sauce with avocado and fresh tomatoes, and it is delicious! I have written to my doctor and hospital telling them of our success. I hope they take notice. Thank you so much; your advice was a lifeline and your telephone consultations helped us so much at the beginning. You saved Jacob, now age 13, from a life of medication and operations and you are brilliant! If you ever decide to visit this country again you must come and visit us.”

Hi David,

I have to thank you so much for changing my life. I went to see my consultant and he said there is a big change within three weeks. I am healing up and am in week 7 of my diet. How can I thank you again!!!

I am delighted to be writing to you with my great news. Since I spoke to you a few months ago and since I have started my new diet, my whole life has changed. I have given up meat completely, however, I did have one slice of turkey on Christmas day, but I didn't feel the better for it. It felt really heavy in my tummy. Imagine how I would have felt if I had eaten a lot of it!

So I will not be tempted next year. I have had no pain at all really, I have gone back to my original clothes size and I have a flat tummy! My body looks great! and I feel great!!

I want to thank you and whatever Angels helped you when you were sick, for finding this diet and sharing it with the world. Lots of things have happened to me and life at the moment is terrific. Thank you so much.

“I contacted you from a hospital in Orange County in October and November, 2000. I was suffering from acute ulcerative colitis. I was down from my ideal weight of 175 pounds to 130 pounds. The doctors were strongly advising me to have my colon surgically removed. I thought that was a little drastic so I asked my sisters, Cathy and Dian, to check on wholistic approaches to the disease and they put me in touch with you.

As a result of your advice and a lot of independent reading and study of my own, I went on an all vegetable juice and fruit smoothie diet for about 2 months. Then I gradually started adding back in solid foods starting with soft non-acidic fruits. I also gradually weaned myself from all of the drugs the doctors had me on. You were absolutely right in that I did not really start recovering until I stopped taking all the drugs. By January of 2001 I was feeling much better and I was well on my way to recovery. Now, a year later, I am back to my original 175 pounds and I am partaking all the activities that I love like snow skiing, bicycling, hiking, etc. From your advice and the assistance of my sisters, I survived my stay in the hospital and I am pretty much back to normal now. The only real difference in my life is that I am now a vegetarian, although not a perfectly strict one. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and encourage you to keep up the good work. By the way, if anyone ever requests to talk to one of the people you have helped with colitis I will be glad to do so.”

I just got my last blood test results and they are nearly back to normal. The specialist still says I am very lucky to be alive as he thought my bowel was about to perforate around last Christmas. I will never forget e-mailing you the day after Christmas absolutely distraught because the bleeding had become severe, pouring out of me. I was in severe pain, not able to sit up, and very weak. I am eternally grateful that I did not take the Prednisone and immediately went on your diet. When feeling fragile and scared it helped tremendously that you were able to strongly support my decisions. I am now better and eating fruits and vegetables. I know I will have to be very careful about what I do eat. I am grateful for your book and thank you once again. I truly believe and know you have saved my life.

Hi Dave:

Hi Dave: It is April, and two years of living in freedom and loving the fact that I rarely ever think of how sick I had been back in April of 2000. If you remember you helped me and I will never forget it.

Every April I start to think about it, and it is especially on my mind this time because a friend has the symptoms and is going through a hard time with a divorce that has caused her a great deal of stress, thus causing the colitis and blood. She will be in touch with you.

I just wanted to take this time to share my thanksgiving of good health with you. However and I worried for my friend. She is beautiful and intelligent and I am sure she will get in touch. Thanks for all you did for me. God Bless You!

It's been a year since a teacher of mine who knew I had Crohn's disease turned me onto your web site. I ordered your book and adopted many of your plans. I am 24, and have always hated vegetables. So going completely vegan, wasn't really a wonderful thought to me. I have though, cut out red meat completely, started favoring vegetables to a degree, and have cut out a lot of the sweets and drinks other than water. With just those adaptations I feel so much better, I don't rely on medication anymore and I can do most everything I used to do before. I have been gladly handing your web address out to those I come across with the affliction and tell them there is no excuse not to feel like normal again. We can do some pretty amazing things today with modern medicine, its a shame that doctors don't apply natural diet to their knowledge and technology.

Healthy, happy, and in your debt.

I want to say you are a huge inspiration in my life, and your books and websites have been amazingly helpful. Your magazine Living Nutrition is AMAZING, and I just recently purchased all the back issues. I could continue the praise, but I know you are busy. I am a 26 year old medical doctor (graduated last year), and I had to quit my family practice residency because of Crohn's disease. I got no relief from anywhere except your methods.

Thank You, you are truly a saint!!
