CROHNS DISEASE TESTIMONIAL by Pam Collins
(From the 52pg Booklet 'A Natural Approach to Overcoming Bowel Disorders')

I was 26 years old and married for only a year and a half, never had been ill before when I found myself facing the ugly disease that almost took my life "Crohn's Disease".

I gave birth to my first daughter in November 1994. For the next several months my health began to rapidly deteriorate. In May 1995 I was admitted to hospital with daily bowel movements as high as 34 times a day and all blood.

After thirty-three long days in the hospital, blood transfusions and several almost emergency surgeries' to remove my colon I was finally able to come home. My monthly prescription bill totaled $1200, medications included: Cyclosporin, Immuran, Prednisone, Asacol and Iron.

After being home for only 3-1/2 months I was once again rushed back to the hospital and immediately booked to have my colon removed. My husband and I had serious discussions, regarding our future, with Gastrontologists, Surgeons, and Ostomy specialists. We attended an ostomy meeting and talked with those who had been in similar situations, read medical books and did lots of research. Both Doug and I together decided that Surgery was not the answer for us. We were going to take my health into our own hands.

After reading the books "Fit for Life" and "Cleansing the Body and the Colon for a Happier and Healthier You" we had a better understanding of how the digestive system works and how nutrition plays a key role. With the help of this information we immediately began action.

For a two week period I began a specific bland diet. After which I began taking these natural health food products:

Barleygreen - 2 tablespoons daily
Herbal Fiberblend - 1/2 teaspoon 2 times daily
Redibeets - 1 teaspoon daily
Proancynol - 6-8 capsules daily

Along with these nutritional products I eliminated all meat, dairy and sugar. Right away I began to feel improvements and slowly began to decrease my prescription medications.

As of December 1996 I was totally off all prescription medication and in September 1997 I successfully delivered a second daughter with no pain, discomfort or flare-ups in my bowel of any kind. Today I still use Barleygreen and Herbal Fiberblend and good dietary habits to maintain my health.

Once a year I visit with a Gastroenterologist. He is still amazed that I have had such a successful recovery and still feels that the prescription drugs got me to where I am today, that neither dietary changes nor the natural health food products had anything to do with my recovery.
