And actually many members of the medical profession are shifting - I have more than a few MDs who have used my protocols and even a few GIs who refer patients to my stuff. I'm currently working on a new book with an MD (Dr. Silvio Najt) who used my protocols to heal his daughter's UC, so don't worry, it's happening! Once this new book is published it will be interesting to see how the med community at large responds - will they be more open, or will they seek to villify Dr. Najt? who knows...

Though shocked by his diagnosis as he was only 19 we both rejected totally the regime that they suggested. No dietary suggestions were offered and without your website we would have been completely lost. I am glad to report that my son has regained most of the weight he lost initially and is a happy and confident young man enjoying university life - if a little cautiously. He still has a way to go as he still rejects the spiritual/emotional aspects of his disease but he is young and I have hopes he will learn to address these. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your healing journey and pursuing it so that so many can benefit from what you have learned. If only we could convince the medical profession to be alittle more open minded Thank you Jini for offering us a viable alternative to the truly terrible drug routine that was offered to my son when he was diagnosed with Crohns last year.

So rather than presenting her with info, I would seek spiritual/emotional healing for her in whichever modality fits with your belief system. i.e. you can pray for her, do EFT on her behalf, do energy healing on her, etc. Ashley – your family member sounds too deep in a rut and no doubt needs a “spiritual” shift, rather than an intellectual one.

One of the things that has me coming back to your site is your grounded matter-of-fact approach to the body - removing much of the stigma. I am trying to convince a family member who has lived with an inflammatory gut problem (first diagnosed as celiac sprue and then redefined as Crohn's) more than half of her life (she is now in her mid to late 30's) to seek some insight from your site. She has become rather detached from her physical self, and her dislike of her own body and food issues has prevented her from engaging with people - and I think she is clinically depressed. Unfortuntately, she has given herself over to conventional medical treatment - which may be contributing to her mood and reproductive dysfunction. She seems resigned to this fate, and I find it hard to let that be but know it isn't my call to make. Wish you many joys in the coming year and those that follow. Ashley PS - this evidence of the efficacy of an elemental diet is great for improving standard of care - but it would be wonderful if a group of researchers could be convinced to use your protocol in a trial - it would certainly put it more visibly on the map.

I cope alright but I certainly can improve where I am at. I think I should look at the remission diet. I cope alright but I certainly can improve where I am at.
