MD Heals His Daughter’s Colitis
Okay, I need your help again! Some of you may already know about Dr. Silvio Najt, MD. He’s been quite active over at JPT Wellness Circle and I’ve also been posting some podcasts with him and articles he’s shared on this blog.
But for those of you who don’t know of Silvio, or haven’t heard his full story: Dr. Najt is a board-certified cardiologist, with an additional specialty in emergency medicine. When his daughter was first diagnosed with colitis, of course he went full-speed into medical treatment protocols.
However, like many of us, when he discovered the medical protocols didn’t work, he began researching. Although his research focused on the medical sources of information, clinical trials, etc., it was actually another MD in New York who told him to get my book, Listen To Your Gut.
In Silvio’s own words (this quote is from Ch. 1 of our new book):
“I bought Listen To Your Gut just as a possible source to help my daughter with the “minor elements” of her illness. I have to admit that from the beginning I had to fight against my “medical prejudice”. Jini Patel Thompson was not a physician, but still she was showing a radical way of treating this ailment. It made sense, a lot of sense. But I still had to fight against my medical mindset. As I got deeper and deeper into the book, it completely blew my mind and I decided to finish my “toxic” relationship with the medical world and embrace the “patient world.”
So here’s where you come in: We need help deciding on the best title for this new book!
It is co-authored by Dr. Najt and myself and we are hoping it will make these healing protocols available to a much larger audience – people who aren’t comfortable, or don’t feel safe unless a medical doctor endorses it.
But it is not just a re-hash of the protocols in Listen To Your Gut. This book tells the story of Dr. Najt and his daughter’s healing journey. It also has an entire chapter on the pharmaceutical drugs used for these diseases – absolutely fascinating info on WHY they are used and what the true effect of these drugs is, on the gut and the body as a whole.
Likewise, Silvio goes into detail, in another entire chapter, about surgical procedures, what’s really involved, what the risks really are (as evidenced by the med literature) and when surgery is indicated, but also when it can likely be avoided.
So this book will also be a valuable tool for people who:
- Want to really understand what their doctor is telling them (and the important info they’re NOT being told!).
- Want to combine medical and holistic treatments.
- Want to use natural protocols, but are unsure if what they’re doing is safe or proven.
- Need to have solid data they can take to their GI (and unsupportive family members!) to garner support and provide justification for their treatment choices.
- Want to have a more simplified treatment protocol than is contained in LTYG. Listen To Your Gut accounts for every variation or complication and that’s why it’s nearly 500 pages. But, some people find this too daunting and they want to just have a simple step-by-step protocol to follow. So the refined 5-step protocol in this new book is one I have gleaned from JPT Members and my private consult clients as being successful for the majority of people, about 90% of the time.
Okay, so now you have an overview of what the book is about and who would benefit from it, what should we call it so that the title reflects these elements?
It can have both a main title and a subtitle.
And the author credit will read:
By Dr. Silvio Najt MD

Hi Jini…I know how hard you’ve been working on this collaboration with Dr. Najt and it looks wonderful! I’m excited for you and this new book! I’m going to try to come up with a name for your contest!
SuZen!!xo
what do you think of this for a title of new book? the long road to recovery for a better and more peaceful way to live. that is what absorb plus has done for me! dorothy desano
A name for your new Book “Its A Gut Feeling” or “Get Out Of A Rut and Into Your Gut”
title: The Truth About How To Heal From Colitis
subtitile: From Proven Healers comes a complete source including all types, variations, stages, and conditions of Irritable Bowel Disease, Chron’s Disease, Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis as well as flare-ups and reoccurrances.
Sorry about the typos; this is what I meant:

subtitile: From proven healers comes a complete source including all types, variations, stages, and conditions of Irritable Bowel Disease, Chron’s Disease, Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis as well as flare-ups and reoccurrances.
Title: What’s Up Gut?
Subtitle: A doctor’s proven holistic and medicinal treatment for digestive diseases and disorders.
The title I would suggest is “Healing Journeys for Your Gut – Parallel and Intersecting Pathways”
Title : (first name of Dr. Silvio Najt daughter) Choice
Subtitle: A doctor’s dilemma – continue “toxic” relationship with the medical world or embrace the “patient” world.
—————————————————————————————————————–
I’m sorry, i do not know the first name of Dr. Silvio’s daughter – so please place the name in the title – then Choice. The title and subtitle i think will caprture the substance of Dr. Silvio’s cure for his daughter and the human drama that it will unfold.
How about: “East and West head South: A doctor’s guide to combating digestive disease through holistic treatment.”
Jini how about “The Patient Touch” for the new book’s title. So many of the times we have seen the gastro docs, there has been a disconnect between the harsh raw medical school truth of the UC my daughter experiences and treating the patient. Some docs treat the disease, not the patient. One doc waltzed into the room asking my daughter how track at her highschool was going, not listening to us much about the fact that running in track was way too taxing, so she had to give it up along with a lot of other things and she at that point was too weak to lift her violin to play it. We did not know what weak meant before.
Patient has a double meaning.The patient is first a person. A person with feelings, emotions, who needs healing, but also compassion and control. They are more than the disease. Their identity is not the disease or a case number. Therapy and healing takes time, we must be patient. The patients must be patient. Sometimes that is the hardest thing, while you are waiting for healing to work in you and change your situation. We all want the quick fix. What toxic med will give that? Meds do nothing for long term healing of the whole person, the kind of true healing we seek. We need “The Patient Touch, a Guide Toward Healing”.
We need a new touch. A new way of achieving health, that personalizes and empowers our restoration to well being and health, and helps us discern which path to take. This new book is a step in the right direction. I am looking forward to reading it, no matter what title it has!
My suggestion -
“Bridging the Gap: The quest to merge traditional medicine with alternative treatment.”
A good runon title would be;
“My “Ideopathic” Gut Problems Tell Me That Current “Healthcare” Is Nothing More Than 50 years of Perfectly Engineered Marketing IMAGE/Genius” (a system fed patients/revenue by a crap food system)
or how about;
“In the 1970’s the USDA set out to create “the cheapest food on the planet”; well now we’ve got it and it’s killing us all!”
or;
“If it’s not organic, there’s a reason for it; it’s not safe food!”
I already would like to read this book!
Doing great work Jini…
Title: Help my daughter has Colitis!
Subtitle: MD’s healing journey and treatment
Title: Unite to Heal
Subtitle: The story of a medical doctor who united the best of allopathic medicine with the best of alternative medicine to heal his daughter’s colitis.
Unite is also a bit of a pun on Dr. Najt’s last name:
- “Najt” in Spanish is pronounced the same as “Nacht” in German
- “Nacht” in German means the same as “Night” in English
- “Najt” in any Slavic language is pronounced the same as “Night” in English
and in the form “najti” (nighty) means “to find” in a number of Slavic languages
Moreover, the acronym UtH would be pronounced as “uteha” in most Slavic
languages, which is an additional benefit because “uteha” (or some variation
thereof) in most Slavic languages means “consolation”.
Another side benefit is that “Unite to Heal” seems to be a unique book
title (at least according to my quick search results on Google and Bing),
so people would easily be able to find it just by searching for those 3 words.
I believe the title would also convey the message that we need to unite not
only as doctors and patients, therapists and clients, but as people who are
willing to overcome false dichotomies in healing and work together to make
the most effective healing modalities available to everyone and to thereby
empower everyone to be able to make informed decisions independently
and heal in cooperation with others as their equal, preserving everyone’s
respect and dignity in the process.
My idea for a title is Healing from the Inside Out: Integrating Traditional and Alternative Medicine in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis or
Facing the Challenge:When everything you learned in medical school didn’t heal ulcerative colitis
Good luck!
Hi Jini,
As the book should compare medical and holistic approach and how to decide what is the best choice for each individual patient my suggestion for the title is “Chosing the right way for your Gut” with subtitle “Holistic versus medical approach for the treatment of IBS and IBD”. There could be also something with pro and con for conventional medical tratment.
Best wishes,
Maria

Hi Jini,
I too have and continue to be excited about your colobaration with Dr. Silvio and feel this book will be another valued gift in assisting people with these matters. As far as a title, I like some of Dr. Silvio’s statements and offer the following suggestion:

Finding medical protocols to be ineffective, Dr. Salivio Najit, MD’s quest to heal his daughter’s colitis leads him to a cure using natural holistic protocols, ending his “Toxic” relationship with the medical world to embrace the “Patient World”.
It may be a bit long but you get the general idea.
Thank you again for all of your efforts and the continued knowledge you bring to light.
Shine Brightly!
