Thankfully, I knew better than to believe most of the information in this book. If I would have, I would have spent the last 5 years on meds and following my doctors advice (which was all wrong). I might even be sitting here without my colon. <br /> <br />This book is full of information that the conventional medical industry wants you to have. Information that benefits doctors, drug companies, hospitals, and surgeons, but does not benefit you, the patient. It does not go into the CAUSE of Crohn's or Colitis, but only tells you how to treat the symptoms. <br /> <br />In order to heal the body, you need to eliminate or fix whatever is CAUSING the problem, the inflammation, the ulcerations, etc. By only treating symptoms through steroidal drugs and anti-inflammatories, it's like trying to put out a fire that is still being fed by a source of fuel. It's not going to work. The fire will continue to rage and cause more damage. <br /> <br />Anyone suffering from Crohn's or Colitis should instead read a book called "Breaking The Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall which explains what CAUSES digestive disturbances and imbalances such as Crohn's, Colitis, etc and how you can actually eliminate and fix the cause, and thereby heal your body. <br /> <br />Since reading "Breaking The Vicious Cycle" and implementing it's dietary and lifestyle suggestions, I have been med free, symptom free, and leading a perfectly normal life. I consider myself healed. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 This was the first book I bought and read after being diagnosed with severe UC back in 2004.

This book is full of information that the conventional medical industry wants you to have. Information that benefits doctors, drug companies, hospitals, and surgeons, but does not benefit you, the patient. It does not go into the CAUSE of Crohn’s or Colitis, but only tells you how to treat the symptoms.

In order to heal the body, you need to eliminate or fix whatever is CAUSING the problem, the inflammation, the ulcerations, etc. By only treating symptoms through steroidal drugs and anti-inflammatories, it’s like trying to put out a fire that is still being fed by a source of fuel. It’s not going to work. The fire will continue to rage and cause more damage.

Anyone suffering from Crohn’s or Colitis should instead read a book called “Breaking The Vicious Cycle” by Elaine Gottschall which explains what CAUSES digestive disturbances and imbalances such as Crohn’s, Colitis, etc and how you can actually eliminate and fix the cause, and thereby heal your body.

Since reading “Breaking The Vicious Cycle” and implementing it’s dietary and lifestyle suggestions, I have been med free, symptom free, and leading a perfectly normal life. I consider myself healed.

This book will make sense, well organized, a day and month at a time. What treatment modalities are available, included are the side effects of treatment. This book also give you hope, but there is no cure. <br /> <br />Excellent book.

Unless you suffer from Crohn's and a severe case at that, this book offers alot of information but little hope. <p>If it is a your child that has been diagnosed look to Carol Svec terrific book on current medical research and help. Also Dr. Sabil book about Ulcerative Colitis is much better, as is the Guide to dealing with Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis in Children available on the CCFA website. Not all patients are as jaded as Ms.Sklar. Rating: 2 / 5 While I had high hopes for this new book I was very concerned about the VERY negative outlook the author gives the reader.
