Restoring Your Digestive Health:: A Proven Plan to Conquer Crohn's, Colitis, and Digestive Diseases

by Jordan S. Rubin, Joseph Brasco

Conquer Crohn’s, Colitis, and Digestive Diseases  Long before Jordan Rubin became one of America’s most respected natural health experts, Crohn's disease nearly ended his life. A once-healthy teenager, Jordan suffered the debilitating effects of the painful and potentially fatal wasting intestinal illness. In desperation, he consulted more than seventy medical experts in seven countries, and tried hundreds of nutritional supplements, with no improvement. Finally, Jordan researched and developed a revolutionary wellness program based on a more health-promoting diet, including the use of fermented foods, bone broths, and soil-based organisms (SBOs), an often-overlooked but critical component of our ancestors' primitive diet.   Within months, Jordan’s health improved. Years later, he remains free of disease or medications. He calls his regimen the Guts and Glory Program, but if you suffer from Crohn's or any of a host of other digestive or systemic disorders, you'll call it amazing.

Excellent read. So much information on how to restore and heal gastrointestinal illnesses. I had to take my time reading through it because I have struggled with GI problems for so long and I wanted to take notes as I read through the book.

[G.M. Potter · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is littered with pseudoscience and faulty conclusions. This book posits that there is a link between vaccines and gi disorders. Also, the author is selling supplements.

This book presents interesting advice; in a way more anecdotal than scientific, but still useful.

Scam. Absolute bait and switch. I read three-hundred pages of repetitive badly structured information to try and help my daughter only to realize it was nothing but a ploy to get you to buy his products or the "real" answers from his other books.

This book is one of many in a long goose chase for profit, no results, and it's as simple as that.

I feel cheated and upset at the fact that someone who supposedly had crohn's--which I don't even care about now--had "conquered" it by himself, with the help of his unbelievable lucky upbringing and money, only to use it as an excuse to get people buy his products and books. If any of it is even true.

You will not find anything helpful in here that isn't explained in full detail with actual full recipes from any other book out there on digestive health. The first that comes to mind is Sarah Myhill's ME/CFS book. And you will not find any useful information here unless you want to document the inner workings of what specific enzymes, probiotics, ferment, and gut functions do.

These are all things you do not need to know about in order to cure yourself. You are not a doctor. If you want to be informed, great, but just as the book says, you're reading to get help and get healthy by doing a specific set of things. None of which are given to you in this book.

You need ingredients by name, and minerals by name, and probiotics by name, and you need recipes and a plan to follow. This book does not have any of that. It has filler:

The introduction and long winded information about each possible disease and function on the planet, mixed with ideas about ancient ancestor eating habits (which are all assumed; I highlighted the word "probably" about 60 times) and the definitions of countless biochemicals.

When you come to the time for healing, which you've earned after the intimidating dry read, you will be presented with vague terminology, such as information referring to: anti-inflammatory formula, or enzyme packages, or probiotic ingredients (actual used words).

So, what are they, you ask? Good luck finding that out without realizing that you just spent four days reading to recognize that you've been had. Those things, even if at one time existed, are not specified in detail as to what they are, or where to get them, or how you go about making them yourself. Mentioned time and time again (check the appendix), as though you will be given the information by the time you're ready to start, when you do get there, you're left just as lost and alone as you were from the beginning with less money in your wallet.

Hopeful prospect of healing

Loved the content and the easy-to-understand language to describe what our body does, what it should do, and what is needed to help it function as it was designed to do. It would have gotten five stars, but sadly, the electronic version of this book does not contain all of the mentioned content. The resource section is completely missing, which defeats part of the purpose of this book. Let’s hope a physical a physical copy of the book truly contains the sections in their entirety.
