The Maker's Diet by Jordan S. Rubin
The book documents the remarkable story of Jordan Rubin's struggle with and victory over severe Crohn's Disease, however it also has a wealth of information, diet plans and recipes for general nutritional health and healing. A friend of mine has been utelising many of the suggestions in the book and has just had a year without allergy problems which have plagued him for most of his life! We have implemented much of Dr Rubin's recommendations into my son's treatment protocol for Crohn's Disease and are seeing very positive results. |

sorry Cara...I missed your post yesterday somehow..........
well, the essence of the book is that we should be eating more of the good healthy stuff the way God created and intended for it to be used. The actual initial 40 day plan is divided into 3 two week phases, where foods are eliminated and rotated. This phased system is designed to "attack the three i's"... to balance insulin and reduce infection and inflammation. the plan has a basic, intermediate and advanced level for people to choose just how they want to follow it, based on their own lifestyle choices and health status........the more advanced levels being most recommended for those with chronic conditions. The wealth of background information on the foods and the yummy recipes appealed to me as a mom trying to take care of a sick child, while the citing of research, epidemiological studies etc appealed to my scientific side, and it has been inspiring for me to also comprehend the spiritual aspect of the food sources that God created for our nourishment and health preservation' Also, it is so encouraging to see our whole family benefit from the dietary changes we have implemented in order to help my son. so there's a bit more on The Maker's Diet |

I'll have to look into this! I have some digestion problems as a result of scarring from radiation treatment. There may be something here that would help. Plus 2 of my grandkids are ADHD. May be something in there that would help them.

Thanks for the information! I have Crohn's. I went on the SouthBeach diet a ccouple of years ago and in addition to losing 70 pounds I also was about to stop taking the 16 pills a day I was taking for Crohn's. So I am positive that diet plays a major role in this illness.
I am definately interested in reading this book. |
