I have a sister-in-law who has crohn's real bad. I gave her the name
of this book years ago and she hasn't bothered to read it, too
frikkin' lazy I guess. Too dependent on what her doctor says. Now they
(her doctors) are talking about removing part of her intestines
including part of her colon, which will leave her carrying a bag for
life.

You have no idea how frustrating it is to see someone close to you so
blindly follow doctors that can do nothing. Actually they do worse
than nothing because they string you along with their pills until it
is too late to make things right again.

I have a sister that suffers from IBS. Sometimes the bouts are
serious, with abdominal cramping and diarrhea that lasts for days. She has
gone to various doctors over the years and the problem still persists. I
have talked to her a number of times about how lo-carbing has cured my
ailments which included, joint pain and acid reflux. Most of what she eats
are grain based foods like pastas and sandwiches if she makes the meal
herself. She claims to be a terrible cook and the family eats lots of times
from fast food places. We don't go over to often anymore for meals because
it is always pizza or KFC. The only vegetables that she likes are potatoes
and creamed corn. She has taken some medications that seem to have helped
only temporarily. No matter what I say, she refuses to even try Atkins,
saying that lots of people she knows say it is not healthy. I don't know
what her doctors have told her, because she doesn't want to talk about it.
Perhaps they have told her the same thing but refuses to listen to them as
well. I guess then, that the only option they have is to prescribe pills if
she won't eat properly. She's quite overweight, as well as her husband, and
12 yr old son. The ironic thing about this is that she has 2 parrots and
does not feed them regular parrot bird food from the pet store. She
formulates her own blend of fruits, veggies, nuts and grains that she says
most emulates their natural diet in the wild. When I try to explain to her
about eating a natural diet for humans, she tells me to "Talk to the Hand".
It's frustrating.

Don't rely on you doctor to cure you. His pills may help some symptoms
but will never make you healthy.

Read the book!!!!
