Chrones Disease Beaten by Diet in Bible

Florida man says that by following scriptures from the bible, he was able to beat Chrones Disease.

Jordan Rubin who now lives in Florida and the author of "The Makers Diet" says that out of the many thousands of diet books being printed every year, the oldest one is the the best. He goes on to say that by eating "whole, living and nutrient-rich foods" that are described in the bible he was able to overcome Chrones disease.

Almost a decade ago the doctors told Jordan that his chrones disease was incurable, but according to him, he has manage to beat his disease after researching the Bible's "4,000-year-old health plan." It must be noted that he has used these ideas to found a health company, Garden of Life Inc.

So has Jordan Rubin rediscovered something that has been missed by modern Western medicine? Or is he just using conventional wisdom by not eating pork and red meat and eating plenty of natural foods?

If you are interested in this form of treatment he has a book as I mentioned earlier that is now for sale and can be bought from many good bookshops. I have also placed a couple of links to Amazon if you are interested:

Chrones Disease Diet

New Diet is said to help people with chrones disease and ulcerative colitis.

A new low carbohydrate diet has the potential to help people who suffer with Chrones disease and people with ulcerative colitis, the research has been carried out by Dr Richard Gearry who is a senior lecturer at Otago Universitys Christchurch School of Medicine in New Zealand.

Both Chrones disease and ulcerative colitis are forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

To ensure that the diet was low in carbohydrates, the 100 people who took part in the experiment had to reduce the amount of wheat, onions, milk, ice cream, apples, honey and stone fruits in their diet. It was also found that legumes could cause abdominal pain and diarrhoea in people who have chrones disease.

This research took place at Box Hill Hospital in Victoria in Australia and involved a hundred patients who have either chrones disease or ulcerative colitis. Patients followed the diet for six to eight weeks. The diet was also designed so that the taste was not too bad and that it was easy to follow. This was becaue they wanted as many people as possible to follow the diet for the full duration.

The results showed that some of the carbohydrates and sugars are not absorbed into the stomach and because of this they get into the colon where they ferment and produce gas which causes pain, these were presented to the Australian Gastroenterology Week conference in Perth.

The hope that it will go on to help many people who suffer with chrons disease and ulcerative colitis.
