Dr. Klein,

I ordered your book about a year an a half ago. Prior to receiving it I was diagnosed with colitis, from which I had been suffering from for about a year, including bleeding, pain diarrhea and interupted sleep. The medication prescribed worked initially, but ceased to work after the next flare-up, 2 months later. I followed your diet plan for about a week and my symptoms subsided. 've been normal ever since. I can't say that I've followed the diet whole-heartedly. I eat what would be considered a "normal" diet by most, with the incorporation of much more raw fruits and vegetables. I can honestly say that I haven't had any indication of a flare-up. Some might say that I'm in remission, but from everything I've read, most people only stay in remission up to a year with medication. I believe the information you shared has saved me from an incredible amount of physical and emotional pain. At one time, I looked at eating raw fruits and vegetables as a chore. I now see them as pleasurable medicine for my body. I realize that I am probably the exception to the rule. I am now gradually transitioning to a vegan lifestyle. I wanted to take the time to thank you. I tell everyone about your book.

Dear Dave,

My son, who just turned 15, was diagnosed in mid-July with ulcerative colitis after a 5-day stay in the hospital. He was better for about a week and then the symptoms seemed to worsen again, eventually, I believe, worse than before. The doctor (pediatrician/gastroenterologist) upped his prednisone dosage but we did not notice an improvement. I continued researching the internet and came upon your website and immediately ordered the book about 3 weeks ago. We began the diet immediately and within 2 days his bowel movements improved dramatically. Within 4 days his stools were normal and about twice a day. Without telling me, he had also stopped taking the Asacol the day before we began the fruit diet because he did not believe it was helping.

I am amazed at how quickly he improved. His energy is way up and he's at school adjusting to freshman life. I can't thank you enough for writing this book! I have so many questions and would like more than anything to become a client of yours. When I can, I plan to purchase several other books to continue learning about correctly making the transition.

Thank you ever so much for writing that book! We were hearty meat eaters and, even though I did not have the problem, my son did. I am not so inclined to return to our old diet after studying your book daily.

Bless you!

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to send you a quick email of thanks. I have suffered from UC since 1996 with several hospital stints & dark periods of ill health. I came across your book Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's on the internet 18 months ago. I went someway towards implementing it at the time and noticed a marked improvement in my overall health. Three months ago I decided to fully comply with the plan and now I enjoy full health & happiness in all aspects of my life. I now find the area of raw food nutrition fascinating. So much so that I am seriously considering a career change into the area.
I live in Ireland and have recommended your book to several people already. I know you are a busy man but I felt it necessary to express to you the joy that your book has brought back into my life. Western medicine needs to wake up to these fundamental truths.
Thank you so much. Words could never fully express my gratitude. Keep up the good work

Kind Regards,

Dear Dave,

WOW!!! Thank you so much for your excellent book. I’m going to call it my Bible! It’s been 2 months since I last spoke with you and I want to let you know the diet has helped tremendously. I was off work for 5 months getting plenty of rest and sleep and implementing the diet while on the medication. It all helped. I had a colonoscopy last month and I cannot believe the pictures of the lower colon. I healed beautifully! Yes, there is hope with plenty of faith. Now I’m just dealing with the disease in the upper right colon.
I have been recommending your book to lots of people and doctors as well. Again, thank you and God bless you! You are gifted!!!

Hello Dave,

I wanted to tell you how it's going for David. He does have more energy and he's not sleeping at all during the day--he's getting good rest though. His skin and eyes are clear. He's eating mostly fruit: smoothies, bananas, dates, mango, grapes, apples, fresh carrot juice, fresh apple juice, apricots. He's drinking lots of distilled water. His weight is staying at 123 lbs. in the morning and 125 in the evening. His bleeding has lessened. He's been reading both of your books and other health articles.

He was really depressed when he started this plan 2 weeks ago, but now he's talking about what he reads, his attitude is good and he's sitting in the sun about 15 minutes a day and walks in the yard for light exercise.

Thanks so much for your guidance and encouragement for David. Your love for what you do and your passion to help people is so evident in your writings and in your consults.

Sincerely,
Val E., mother of David E.

Dear Dr. Klein,

I am a 46 years old woman, married with three children, ages 10, 12 & 13. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 3-1/2 years ago and have been hospitalized five times alone in the last year. I received your Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's 2nd editon book less than two weeks ago and began your program immediately and within just a few days was feeling stronger and more clear-headed. The bleeding, pain and urgency were nearly gone after just a week on the Natural Hygiene diet! I am finally experiencing normal bowel movements. Since I am allergic to aspirin and cannot tolerate Prednizone, I have been a particularily tough case to treat medically. I was also told that diet had absolutely nothing to do with my flare-ups. I am so grateful to God that I found your http://www.colitis-crohns.com website and ordered your book while home from work recovering from c.Diff. infection - my second bout in 10 months. The top gun antibiotics made my ulcerative colitis far worse which caused me to be completely housebound for three weeks going to the bathroom nearly 20 times a day. Since my doctors could do nothing more for me, I was referred to a Gastroenterologist at the Loyola University Medical Center. I had to wait two months for the appointment. Suffice it to say, I will be canceling my May 1st appointment on Monday! No more doctors and hospitals for me! My husband and children are finally seeing a renewed energy and joy in me for the first time in years.

Thank you for showing me the road to restoring my health and well-being. Your program is an answer to many, many prayers. I am so grateful to you.

Hi Dave!

I wanted to get back to you and let you know how well things are going for me. We had consulted a few times during this past winter.

I’m not sure exactly what happened within my body over these months, but it’s been miraculous and I credit you and your writing for a great deal of it! For months after we talked I struggled to implement the raw diet you outline in Self Healing Colitis and Crohn’s. I did slowly switch to an all organic diet and made some progress, but I was still eating grains and a lot of poor food combinations.

At some point a few months ago, I cut out grains entirely. A few weeks into that experiment I had the incredible realization that I wasn’t craving them – or anything unhealthy – anymore! My cravings virtually disappeared! My colitis symptoms started to subside as well.

At another point, about two months ago when I was still not feeling completely well and having digestive symptoms, I just stopped eating. I literally didn’t want to eat. I fasted for about five days on just water and my energy, vitally and mental clarity absolutely took off! I had fasted many, many times before and never had this effect. This time was completely different. My theory is that it took all this time and several fasts, etc. for my body to get to the place where that fast allowed it to cleanse to the point I could feel the health and enhanced thinking effects.

I’ve never experienced anything like that before! Just simply not wanting to eat, not being hungry or craving, not needing or wanting much sleep and a mental clarity that was unlike anything I ever felt! What’s even more interesting, is that when I did finally decide to eat again, I only wanted one thing. RAW FRUIT!

My sense is, and I understand a lot of this from your writings, that once my body became clean to a certain extent, it was able to sense what it needed and I was able to feel the effects of a proper diet. Of all the benefits, the lack of cravings is the most astounding to me. I have literally forgotten what it even feels like to want and crave unhealthy food! When someone comments on how much willpower I have or asks how I can possibly not indulge when people around me are eating such “good” food, I realize how much I don’t crave bad foods and how much I don’t even care about them or think about them!

So, again, thank you for all your articles and writing and hard work. You certainly led me to the light and back from a very dark place. Right now I’m reading your book “Your Natural Diet” and really enjoying it. I’m also reading “On Nutrition and Physical Performance” by Dr. Doug Graham. An interesting side note here is that I am leaner and more muscular than I have been in a very long time and I’m doing virtually NO cardio exercise and limited weights and martial arts. The body fat has literally been falling off of me! I can contrast this to my body building days from about 10 years ago when I was using pounds and pounds of protein powders, supplements and stimulants and doing cardio almost constantly to get the fat to move. A pre-contest diet is always really difficult and full of cravings and willpower – you basically crave and suffer for MONTHS to get the fat off and keep as much muscle as possible. And here I am, fantastically lean and feeling great and not craving in the least!

Thanks again, Dave! I’ll be in touch.

Dear Dave,

It was quite a surprise and wonderful gift I received from you yesterday. This expanded second edition has been improved so much and I think this is the best Hygienic book I have ever read. You covered everything Hygienists should know. It is an excellent encyclopedia in Natural Hygiene, and it helps not only the colitis & Crohn’s patients but also all health seekers. I am wishing the book may help millions of health seekers around the world.

Hi Dave,

I hope you're doing well. You may remember me. I tried the diet you advocate in order to heal my colitis. And I miserably failed. And now, having had my first surgery, I can tell you it's pure hell. All I can think about is how I wish I had pushed harder. I terribly miss my colon and what you said keeps repeating in my mind: "human beings aren't meant to lose their colons." Ain't that the truth? It SUCKS. Why am I writing to you? Because I want you to know how valuable your work is. I hope you forever spread your message so that others won't have to suffer the depressive outcome of living without an organ -- something that actually has a cure. I'm taking it one day at a time, looking forward to my next surgery. No honestly, I'm seeing a therapist because I'm having suicidal ideations. No..this isn't a pity-me e-mail. I just want to tell you that your theory is completely right, and I hope to become someone who helps others follow the detox diet successfully.

David,

My son Byron (17 year old diagnosed with Crohns June 2006) has just confided in me that this time last year he wanted to commit suicide. At that time he was confined to bed with painful fissures (anal tears), mouth ulcers, stomach cramps, diarrhoea and bowel incontinence, hot & cold sweats and a host of other miserable complaints. He had already endured months of illness and hospitalization and despite drug treatments was no better. The doctors had abandoned us for an extended Xmas/New Year break and an increase in Prednisone dose did nothing to ease symptoms. Then your Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's book arrived. We started the diet straight away and in 3 days the pain from the fissures was gone and he was up and moving around.

David, we have since proved every single word of your book to be true. Byron's recovery went exactly as you described it would. We followed the steps carefully, reducing drugs as we went, we made mistakes but corrected them within 3 days of returning to the diet and we pressed on. We know your work has saved Byron from a life of hell. Today, one year after receiving your book, he is entirely drug free and has been for 5 months. He is 62 kg (up from 45 kg at diagnosis). He is an active young man looking and feeling great and as a fabulous sidekick benefit, now has a really cool Vegan girlfriend. He lives by the diet and finds it easy, we spend less on good food than we did on the SAD diet and we now spend absolutely nothing on drugs, supplements or consultations. The doctor called Byron's excellent condition "clinical remission", which we confidently told him will last for around 75 years!!!!! Byron and I believe you have provided us with the "cure". Treatments in the 6 months prior to receiving your book cost around AUS$15,000. Your regimen was the cost of the book and one consult fee to meet you (a meeting I am eternally grateful for and was pre-ordained after a surprise opportunity to travel to California last year). We owe you so much and we thank you so much. Please add our story to your list of successes. I am happy to have my email address posted on your site as a contact for those still reading your "Are You Skeptical" link and would be pleased to share our story and discuss.

My dear friend, if I may call you that, you have done more for me than any friend I know, and most probably will ever know, besides my wonderful husband. The main reason for my e-mail is today is my very own Thanksgiving day. Last year on this date was the day I changed my life. It was the day that I said I can do this, there must more to life than this, this can't be my sentence, I don't want it to be my sentence and I stepped up to the edge and jumped. And I must admit there were times I thought I was drowning, and struggling to stay afloat. But you were my lifejacket. Not my lifeboat David....... but more importantly my lifejacket, because I had to learn the strategies of how to swim back to shore, for if I was to fall, I would remember your advice and principles to continue my journey.

So David I thank you from the deepest part of me. My life would not be the way it is, if it were not for you. God Bless you always.

We are off to Broome for 2 weeks in Western Australia. It is a beautiful beach resort which we are all looking forward to. A trip I would not be able to enjoy without all you have done for me.

Until next time, take care.

Hello David,
I am the bodybuilder formerly with UC who spoke to you in the phone consultation about 5 weeks ago. I have followed the diet you recommended since then. I was already on the diet outlined in your book for about 2 weeks prior to our talking. Your consultation helped me fine-tune my eating for better results. The diet has helped me get progressively better and as of the last 5 days I have been absolutely symptom FREE! What's great is that I caught this problem early, lost only 12 lbs. while detoxing, never had to use steroids, and I love my new energy levels! And that’s in only 7-8 weeks time. I imagine how I'm going to feel in a year with this new eating lifestyle...because I'm never going back to the SAD diet again!!

Thanks and God bless.

Hi Dave,

I just want to thank you for creating http://www.colitis-crohns.com. It entirely changed my life, my attitude. I have found answers. I could write an article about it to help others. I’m sure.
I hope you are doing well.

Hi Dave,

Hope all is well with you. I actually just completed 4 of the 8 weeks I needed to make up for med school. It was pretty demanding, but I remained loyal to the diet and made it through just fine. I have this week off (thank goodness) to rejuvenate, before I have to go back for the remaining 4 weeks. You've done no less than give me my life back and I can't thank you enough for that. Many of the doctors I work with are quite interested to hear my ulcerative colitis healing story. They are astonished that detox and diet have played such a crucial role in my recovery. Such a concept remains foreign to allopathic physicians. A few of these doctors tell me that they have heard similar stories from some of their own patients, but in the end, these doctors have no training or understanding of nutrition and natural healing and can do little more than simply listen to my story.

Thanks,
S.G., Florida

Hi!!! I hope that you remember me. It will be three years in May that I contacted you. I was having upsetting digestive problems and had a colonoscopy that showed the beginnings of colitis and Crohn's disease. I purchased your book and we had a long consultation, and I switched to vegetarianism, and though I have somewhat modified the program over the years, not a day goes by that I don’t have at least eight to ten fresh fruits and veggies. I have cancelled all meat, fish and poultry from my diet.

Anyway, I had a yearly physical exam with my doctor and he wanted me to have a colonoscopy, a I hadn’t had one in three years.

I was curious to see what it would be like after these three years, having changed my diet.
Well, I had it yesterday. Thank G-d, it was excellent! Now I am 58 years old, and no signs of any Crohn's disease, colitis, diverticulitis or polyps!!!!

I wanted to write and thank you, because the gratitude goes to you for the transformation this diet has had on my whole life. Your wisdom that you share with others, makes you a true miracle worker. Thank you so much. G-d bless you for your teachings and the wonderful work you do in your calling to help others.

Kindly,

Hi Dave,

I completely healed myself from colitis on your diet program. Your work on nutrition has saved my life and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have now left behind a terrible life and started to live with laws of nature. Thank you so much!

I was diagnosed with colitis in March, 2005. I actually was sick from oct. 2004. But I did not see a gastroentrologist for a proper diagnosis until my condition became severe. In march after colonscopy and biospy of a colon tissue, doctor confirmed moderate ulcerative colitis in rectal and sigmoid area. At then I had no idea of what was colitis. When doctor came up to me with his diagnosis result and told me that I will have to live on medicine rest of my life, an image of a handicapped and crippled life loomed over me and I can not tell in words how depressed I was for many month ahead. Especially at this young (24 years) age, I was making very good progress in my career, but with this disease all my dreams came to a sudden halt. I really cried at nights in those days.

Then with my continuous search on internet for colitis cure, in november, i first came across Paul Nison book. It gave me some direction about improving the diet. But I was taking lot of blended nuts and peanuts, and rough fibre from them caused even more severe bleeding. Then in January, 2006 I read your book. I went on all juice diet (nothing but fruits and vegetable juice) for almost 40 days and took thorough rest, (well i couldn't really get from bed on this diet) and healed myself completely.
But right after my healing, my cravings were tremendous for eating delicious food, so i bought Alissa Cohen book on raw food recipes. I make so many recipes from her book for next three month and ate so much, that it undermined the healing that had taken place. And, especially most of her entrees use a large amount of nuts and seeds. Then 6th May, 2006 (it was one of my friend’s graduation day), my friend invited me for her graduation party at an Italian grill. And that day I ate lot of bad food and same day i began to see the colitis symptoms again.

Now, at this point, I stopped eating anything bad and again started taking juices. But this time, I luckily happened to read your book Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's over and over again that I began to understand the power of fruits, damage from protein, benefits of drinking watermelon sorbet, benefits of banana blend with water that again in 2 months (june and july) I became completely symptoms free. You will not believe how many times I read your book and it really helped to shape my dietary habits. Now, i eat very simply. I have eaten 390 bananas since June. I do vary some time my breakfast, evening snacks and dinner. I got this tip of not varying diet so rapidly from your book and one of your interviews. It really helping me and easing my life day over day. I am now going to eat 3 bananas for rest of my life in lunch.

Dave, thank you so much. It’s a wonderful life now. Colitis might have troubled me so much, but it taught me a big lesson that was missing in my life. And, I really do not know how terrible my fate was going to be if i did not come across your work or you did not put this information together for others. I would like to thank you in person some time.

David,

Thank you very much for writing your book, Self Healing Colitis & Crohn’s. I have been following the diet plan somewhat for the past two weeks and immediately saw results (bleeding stopped and mucus disappeared). I do get 8-9 hours of sleep a night and I try to get out walking as much as I can. I have taken a different approach to life and I voice my concerns. I am trying to de-stress my life by moving back into the city to avoid excessive daily travel, reduce expenses and to live a more simple life. And I am extremely optimistic that this life style change combined with eating fruits and vegetables is going to work.

Dave, I do send people to your site. I hope they have the discipline and wisdom to follow through. I’m feeling great-no problems at all since 2000 after following your program. Colitis for me--as for you--was in actuality god send to get me into a new way of life. And you were there at the time i needed you and i will always be grateful. The Vegan Healing Diet (along with playing blues guitar) is the best way i know of for feeling great! Here’s a poem I wrote:

"Ode to David"

I once had colitis
so the doctor gave me pills
he said "son now you take these
for all your pains and ills"

So I took these little red things.
they didn’t do a lot
except make me even sicker
tied my stomach into a knot!!!

Said "Doc you must be kidding
surely there’s a cure"
he said "no son I’m truly sorry"
then he gave me more!!!

Then found this guy named David Klein
heard what he had to say
threw away those little red pills
been a new man since that day!!!!

David: I bought Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's last November and found it to be the one I am looking for the last 12 years. It basically kept me away from a colostomy that I was about to go through. Thanks a lot.

For the past 12 years, I have gone through real difficult times with UC and was under a lot of pressure from my GI doctor and surgeon to do the colostomy. Thanks God I was able to resist.

After reading your book, I am much better now and currently leading almost a normal life.

I appreciate your help Dave, you have showed me how to deal with this monster disease.

In few days time, I will send my questionnaire to you and give you a call.

Thank you very much David. I was to the point of total desperation when I made one last ditch effort to find a alternative cure. If nothing else I would go back to the Dr. and agree to take the Remicade as the only resort. But I ran across your book, received it and went on the program in 2 days. I can say that within the 3 weeks I am doing so much better. I had to gradually make the adjustments but they are long term and I feel 80 % better. I will be a true advocate of the program and a life follower. I am sure I am headed for full recovery of my Crohn's. I have suffered horribly with this condition and the relief now is wonderful. I want to thank you so much. I owe you so much.

Hi David, Just an update. I've now been on your diet for 6 weeks and off my meds!!! I'm feeling wonderful! Also I've noticed some great improvement in my reflexes. After my motorcycle accident in July of 1993, my reflexes were awful slow. However, now after being on this diet for just 6 weeks, I'm noticing that my reflexes are much improved. Also my Ulcerative Colitis is in total remission without meds!!! I'm able to take my Golden Retriever each day again for a run by my 3-wheel bike! He LOVES it!!! He's sooooo good!!! When I wasn't feeling well, he'd lay right beside me. Awesome!!! Anyway, I'm doing good & just expect things to keep getting better! Thanks soooo much!!!

Thanks Again,

Dear David

I thought I would send you a note to let you know how I was getting on following your kind advice in fact life saving advice. I am now a few months down the line from speaking to you and changing my ways.

Thank you again so much for being a support and guide when I most needed it. I am emerging a better person, trying to obtain mindfulness, eating mainly raw organic veggies, re-evaluating and reorganizing my work, not getting wound up about work and what other people think about me which I know has a self distruct button inside me.

I have not found the eating changes easy at all but I am determined to get there and I will eventually.

With very best wishes

Hi Nick,

Hope you and all at UKJuicers.com are doing fine. Juicing is great have never felt better. Read the book "Self Healing Colitis and Crohn's" and its a wealth of information, in which i totally agree. In fact I have never ever felt as I am feeling now after going into juicing and controlling what I eat. Thanks to all of you there for the advise you gave me at the time, of purchasing my juicer.

Hello David,

Yes, I am feeling wonderful. Thank you for your help towards my recovering from ulcerative colitis. I have been completely healthy for 3 years now and still eat my oranges first thing in the morning. I am enclosing a small check, hoping it helps towards your goals. I turned 70 last November and when I sought your help I didn’t think I’d see the next week.

Dave,

My name is Carina Honga, I contacted you several weeks ago in regards to your counseling services and your book (which I have since ordered and read). After many, many years of intestinal distress, since as far back as I can remember, I have been symptom free for nearly two weeks. I am strictly eating fruit mono meals, and occasionally freshly juiced vegetables. I cannot thank you enough for the information I received from your website and book, Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's. At 21 years old, I never thought I would lead a normal life and experience the feeling of health and vitality that I have now caught glimpses of. I am urging my entire family to follow this path, and they are also trying (we have a long history of intestinal cancer).

I keep finding myself at your website again, whenever I am looking for relevant information. I am a University student in my fourth year of a BFA double major. Health and Nutrition have always been huge concerns for me, as well as passions. When I stumbled upon the Natural Hygiene Courses I was more than intrigued. I am very interested in the programs, and would appreciate as much information or guidance you could provide.

Thank you so much, for everything.

I have taken your advice and from Monday just gone have ceased all but one job for the next 3 weeks and am trying to keep work to a minimum the 4th week. I have been resting more than before and am trying to listen to my body (tame my mind) to slow down. I am following the diet plan and symptoms are lessening and so I am most positive. I am very pleased that I have been lucky enough to have learnt about you before ending up a hospital junkie! I will keep you informed of my progress.

Very best wishes

Dear David

I wanted to thank you for our talk the other day. I was really despairing of ever kicking this thing and you somehow managed to inspire me to carry on the struggle [colitis]. I am today celebrating my fourth "blood free" day and feel this is finally the breakthrough I have been striving for. Following your suggestion I bought a massive quantity of organic papaya from the local kibbutz where they are grown.

Thank you again. Warm regards.

Since I changed to a natural diet as you suggested David, I am convinced that my body is totally free of colitis. I feel great and have more energy than I know!

For a couple of months I suffered with advanced ulcerative colitis, after having colitis for 12 previous years. After consulting David, I studied his report, took myself off the prednisone and asacol I was taking, followed his dietary and healing advice, and it worked! I overcame my symptoms immediately and now, four months later, I feel I am totally healed of the illness. The doctors told me if I stop the medications I would have a reoccurrence. I am sure they are wrong. I have no indigestion problems, I feel good about my new diet and about myself, and I credit David for inspiring me to achieve my new health.

"Had I known about this remedy for ulcerative colitis 14 years ago I would have saved myself a mountain of misery. My life was truly hell. I had seen every specialist - both traditional and alternative. I even studied health for years. No one and nothing could help me. After several hospitalizations and scares from the surgeons that my colon had to be removed completely...I am finally home free (with every organ intact)...full of energy and life...Thanks to David's testimony and all the information provided regarding raw food nutrition. It took 1-1/2 months to clear out enough toxins to become symptom free. It was so simple ...you just need to believe and have faith!! It really works! I'm living proof."

Dear David,

I do not know if you remember me, but I ordered your books a few months ago in September of this year. I stuck to your program and it worked just as I always knew it would. I am not taking any of my old medications such as 6MP or Azulfadine any more!!! I did have a very tough 1-2 months back in September but I toughed it out and sure enough I was okay. Believe me, I would have never thought that I would ever be off all medications again, had it not been for your books. I cannot thank you enough. If I ever go out to California again I would like to meet with you to personally thank you. You have led me back to a health I thought I had lost for good. I am getting the "old me" back. I hope all is well with you and your business and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Sincerely Yours,

Hey David..... all is going well right now... I am back to work and living a normal life... not on any medicines..... I am not fully keeping up with the diet, but I am changing slowly... I eat fruits and vegetables 500 times more than I ever did... I bought a juicer and I do that as much as I can.. but I still eat "bad" things more than I should.. I am happy though, I feel a lot better... I will keep in touch with you. Thanks for your support.

I just wanted to let you know what's goin' on here in Connecticut. The diet is going well! I'm really starting to feel great! A week ago over Christmas at home I really didn't feel like doing very much except laying around the house. Can you believe this morning I was out in 25 degree weather riding three miles on my mountain bike! And remember how I missed the ski trip to Aspen because I was feeling pretty crappy and low on energy well this weekend we're headed to Vermont to ski Stratton - I couldn't be happier - skiing is my TRUE passion! Things are only going to get better.

I also wanted to let you know that on Mon. which was Jan. 4th I went in for a colonoscopy (at my request, not the doctor's) because I WANTED to SEE what the hell was going on inside MY body. I was tired of just get the flex sig in the office and then having them explain to me what THEY saw. I needed to know and see for myself! Guess what - my colon is totally NORMAL - NO INFLAMMATION, NO ULCERATIONS AND NO CONSTRICTIONS, my doctor was completely thrilled. Now she said we just have to get your head clear from all the medicines. I'm down to 10 mg. on the prednisione and tomorrow i go to 7.5 mg. - it won't be long until I totally off the shit (pardon my language). I can't wait!

Dear David,

I have read your materials and have completed your questionnaire, which I will mail to your attention on July 7. I look forward to having a consultation with you. I thought you might like to know that after I read "Self-Healing Colitis and Crohn's", I changed to a vegetarian, Natural Hygiene diet (I did not attempt to fast, as I am breastfeeding, and also would not do something so drastic without a prior consultation with you) and immediately saw improvement! I was expelling gas, blood, and mucous, along with abnormal, frequent stools for months. Well, incredibly, these symptoms have almost disappeared. I went "off" the diet over the 4th of July weekend, and sure enough, the symptoms came back, mildly, but I'm amazed at how quickly I'm healing up. I look forward to talking with you soon.

After having a biopsy in April 1999, I was told I had Ulcerative Colitis. This was no surprise as I'd had minor symptoms (bleeding) for a couple of years and my uncle and 2 cousins also have the illness. I was given suppositories which cleared it up, but over the summer I started feeling very fatigued and lethargic. I was getting almost constant gut pain (especially when I ate) and had no energy to do anything. I'd already got into juicing which had started to give me more energy. After studying "Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's", I realized that it wasn't just juicing that would make me better - I basically needed to embrace the whole package. I have gradually done this and can honestly say I feel fantastic for it. I found his information on food and eating particularly useful and as soon as I applied the techniques, any gastric distress after meals completely stopped. It's as simple as that.

Rather than telling you that you've got a terrible illness and trying to show you how to live with it, David's approach looks at the causes of colitis and Crohn's, and shows you how to eliminate them. There's therefore no breeding ground for the disease to occur. I would recommend "Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's" to anyone and think the medical profession should be ashamed of themselves for not adopting it.

I already have your book "Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's" . You have helped me to regain my health and my life!!!!. I can't thank you enough! I'm buying this one for a young friend who is struggling with colitis. Thanks again!!!!!

David,

Hi, I wanted to let you know how I am doing. We spoke last Tuesday night and I was feeling terrible. The next day, I purchased a juicer and started your program. With each day, I am getting better. In fact, yesterday, (Sunday) was as normal as I have been for almost a year.

Would it be all right to pass along your web address to a couple of people who are e-mailing the message board I visit...they sound hopeless.

Thanks,

a follow up...

Hi Dave:

I feel that I am healed having seven weeks into the changed diet that you helped me with.

Here is where I am at: At six weeks, there was no blood, and somewhat normal bm's. The urgency to go to the bathroom was there, but milder than before.

Now at seven weeks, I feel I have more control over my bowels and only the slightest urgency. My bm's are blood free, and have the consistency of toothpaste, which my family doctor told me a long time ago was normal. What is normal anyway?

Well, I am feeling so much better, and have been posting your website and my progress on the message board. Please let me know what normal is exactly, or am I getting excited too soon? I have no pain or bloating and I am elated!!

Thanks,
Tina

second follow-up...

Hi Dave:

I am in week 8, and I am doing great! I really feel healed, and shared the info with my internet message board people, with some sarcastic feedback from a couple, very negative, but for the most part, people are really intrigued. I pray that they get in touch with you.

The negative ones were the ones saying that their quality of life was so bad, that giving up their favorite foods would essentially mess up their day. They cannot believe that changing your diet would really help.

I feel disappointment for them, and hope that they will change their mind. One comment came from a woman who had her colon removed, and does not regret it one bit...she was so sick, but also stated that it is wonderful because she can eat and go along with her life, and no fear of cancer. I am too young and otherwise healthy to give in like that.

Thank you so much for everything. I'll never forget it. If I run into trouble again, I will be in touch quickly.

God Bless YOU!!

a fourth follow-up...

Hi Dave:

Today I was thinking about the month of April as I watched my kids playing outside during a very beautiful and perfect spring day in Ohio. I then remembered that it was one year ago this mont that I contacted you. I suddenly went back to how sick I felt and miserable. Trying to live normal and looking for any available restroom.

Today, I am still well. If you remember, it took about eight weeks to fully recover. I remember by the first or second week of June, I really felt normal again, and confident to admit to it too.

Thank you Dave. I am still teaching aerobics and lifting weights. I no longer fear going shopping or long trips. I followed your plan, and I try to live like a vegetarian with the exception of a little chicken every so often...that is it.

I still think of all of your advice and I wanted to let you know that I feel great!

Dave, I just got an e-mail from someone who bought "Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's" - Billy Shin. He seems to be doing really well and, like me, has had no symptoms for 6 months. You're a star, mate.

Okay Dave....this is something.

Today for the first time in nearly three months I've started to have formed stools with very little blood - this after only a day and a half on your diet plan! To say I'm encouraged by this is an understatement. To say I'm a little skeptical about the long term results because of the nature of this disease would be an honest observation. But I'm the eternal optimist so I'm going to continue doing as you directed and see what happens - expecting continued improvement in my colon and overall health.

Thank you so much for sharing what you have learned. I've already started trumpeting your web site to UC chat boards all over the web.

a follow up...

I just wanted you to know that since June I have been basically symptom free of UC thanks to the foundation that you started with me eating a mostly fruit and vegetable based diet. I did follow your advice 100 percent on getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of water, and practicing positive visualization. I just wanted to say thank you again, Dave. Your initial consultation and advice may have very well saved my life!

A second follow up....

I'm John, from Tulsa who left a couple of testimonials on your website back in 2000 about the success I experienced after our phone consultation and following your general recommendations for my recently diagnosed, chronic UC condition.

I'm happy to report I'm still UC symptom free! In fact, a person just contacted me yesterday asking me questions about how I found success and I pointed them to your website - just as I've done before when people ask the same.

So, I just wanted to say THANK YOU once again and that your advice certainly isn't a quick-fix treatment or something that doesn't last. I'm a walking, breathing, testimony to that!

Dear Dave,

This is Jason Hebert finally getting back in touch with you. The last time we spoke you had called me on the phone and I had just been out of the hospital, back in November, I think. Anyway, its been one hell of a ride since then. I won't explain every detail here, but I am doing fantastic now. My mental and physical energy is higher than it was before the colitis started, and my emotions have become more stable as I have begun to take an observational attitude towards all three aspects of my personality.

Now the Great news. I am currently on the verge of attaining super-health. The wisdom and strength that I have gained and received from traversing this path is enormous. The difference between "hearing about", "reading about", "intelligently being aware of", and really KNOWING on a cellular level" what the Truth is about something is Awesome.

My new philosophy has remained strong that I will continue adding the "good and real" foods to my diet until the Innate Wisdom simply lets the "bad and fake" foods go. As I continue making progress with all types of healing and personal growth, my overall gratitude, thankfulness and appreciation for the loving work that you and others have done increases. I have not yet found words to communicate the intensity of this gratitude, so I am left with a profound feeling of obligation towards action--a newly experienced responsibility to help people in need. I'm not sure exactly what this will consist of, but I do have obvious vague ideas (relating to health, wellness and fitness).

Once again, I am grateful David, with all of my heart, for all that you've done for me. Your words, your writings ("Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's", e-mail, Living Nutrition Magazine) and your referrals (Roe Gallo, Dr. Doug Graham, Dr. Herbert Shelton, and others) have "saved" my life, and then some. I only hope that I can respectfully honor you and our friends by passing on the torch. I am confident that this will come to "fruition".

Sincerely,

Jason Hebert

Hi Dave, things are going much better, the colitis is not active and am back to 2 or 3 bowel movements a day now. I am having fun learning to eat most of the stuff that I have not touched for the first 50 years of my life. Using juicer once a day, trying all kinds of different combinations to see what I like, and interestingly enough I like all that I have tried so far. I feel better overall, will see Dr. next week and let you know how things come out.
