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 Video

I found this video the other day, it is a touching story of a guy with Chrones Disease. The backing music is by Perl Jam - the reason for this and is not something I knew until now is that the Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready suffers from Chrones Disease.

He announced this news way back in 2003 and said that he has had the stomach ailment for the past 15 years, so 20 years now. The reason he decided to go public with the news was because of the strength of a young teenager who'd suffered through 6 surgeries because of chrones and still had a long way to go.

During his speech, Mike McCready recountered a particularly embarrassing incident to demonstrate how Chrones can strike at any time. He said that whilst playing onstage, he is always aware of where the bathrooms are "When Crohn's hits, I have to run, or it won't be pretty. It happened when we opened up for the Rolling Stones in 1997 in Oakland .

"It was our first show with them," McCready continues. "Five minutes before we went on, I went up to (Pearl Jam front man) Eddie Vedder and I said, 'Look man, can we play 'Sometimes'? — which is a slower song that I'm not really on. I was in pain. I went running offstage looking for a bathroom, and there wasn't one. Then, all of a sudden, there was one. It was a honey bucket. I heard my band play that song from inside a portable toilet!" something every chrones disease sufferer knows all to well!

Chrones Disease: It is still a mystery but can be controlled

When Jessica Leach was only 12 when she started having frequent attacks of painful abdominal cramps and was only later to find out that it was Chrons disease, she is now 19 years old and initially, she didn't tell anyone about the pain or the diarrhea.

Jessica would often respond to her parents questions by saying that it was somethiong in the food that didnt agree with her. She could hide it for a while, but soon she began to loose a lot of weight and that was when her parents realised that there must be something really worng and so decided to take her to the doctors.

Initially the doctors first thought that she might have anorexia, which only led to frustration on the behalf of Jessica and her mother. The just goes to show how easy it can be to give the wrong diagnosis of Chrones Disease. After some more blood work and a visit to a gastroenterologist, the family finally got the right diagnosis: Chrones disease.

Jessica's chrones is currently in remission for the second time, the first time lasted for three years and she is hoping like most people who suffer from crohn's disease that her symptoms will never appear again. What ever happens Jessica is adiment that Chrones disease is not going to get her down and want to live her life to the full. She has been working two jobs this summer and she is looking forward to college.

We would like to wish Jessica all the best in the future...

Living life with Chrones Disease

In a strange kind of way, when you are going through a very bad patch with your chrones disease and you feel that everything is against you, it sometimes helps to know that there are many people who have chrones disease and continue to live extra ordinary lives.

A great example of this is David Garrard who is a quarter back for the Jacksonville Jaguars and has Chrones disease.

I often have days when I don't even feel like getting out of bed let alone going out and playing professional football!

Recently I was invited to go camping with some friends and my first though was that I could not do it, but then I though of the people out there who have chrones disease like David Garrard, who are doing things that even people without chrones disease would find difficult. It gave me that little push that I needed....

... I did eventually go on the camping trip and I did have an excellent time, it just goes to show that you can live your life to the full even with Chrones Disease
