Controlling Crohn's Disease: The Natural Way by John M. Price  5 Stars
February 26, 2009
I read Ginny's book after going to do a consultation with her in person at her learning center in Franklin Tennessee. Her personal direction combined with the story of her own triumph in her book are 'the' reason I am here today.
I had a severe case of ulcerative colitis. I had been diagnose a year earlier. I had a net weight swing of 90lbs in less than 12 months. I am 6'3" and weigh around 180. I lost 35 lbs during my first flare. Gained it all back in a new form, fat, read: prednisone. I then had a second flare and it all fell off again in less than 3 weeks. The doctor's prognosis was that I would need to move up to much more severe drugs, very likely surgery, and almost certainly a shortened lifespan full of side effects, infections, probable cancer etc......
I discovered Ginny and her book in late November of 2006. I took my last medications January 28, 2007. I have had no need for them since, (today is March 26, 2009, still healthy and strong and very well fed).
I have a deep desire to share the benefits not of a macrobiotic diet, but a conscious life. Everything I did contributed to or diminished my susceptibility to UC. Ginny has showed me so much more than eating miso. I live a life that is so much freer and richer now that I am aware of how my body interacts with my environment, emotions, and food. Food is only the beginning.
I urge anyone with a digestive illness or disease to read this book and/or contact Ginny. Her website is kioflife.com .
Or you can call. You'll probably talk to me. I now work with Ginny and her learning center, helping people heal themselves from these highly treatable conditions.
No matter what you choose, good luck, and please share what you learn. It all helps!

Excellent! by Book addict (Canada) 5 Stars
December 15, 2008
What did I enjoy about this book? First, my sister was diagnosed with Crohn's (many years ago) long before doctors had much information about it. After many health challenges, she died of various complications, and, what encouraged me about this book is that a woman who had such serious health issues was able to completely manage her Crohn's through her diet, along with the implementation of other lifestyle changes.
This book should give anyone hope, and, the information is really a great beginning if you wish to learn more about how to help your system from the inside out, and yes, I tried some of these healing foods at specific times when I was experiencing an unusual amount of stress!! The dietary information (and specific information about grains, etc., and their healing attributes) is top quality for the size of the book.
Really, Virginia has a delightful and engaging way of telling her story (both dietary and personal) while getting back to basics, nutritionally and otherwise, and her honesty refreshes one as much as the dietary suggestions do!
All in all, a very good read.

A true eye opener by M W (New Jersey) 5 Stars
September 21, 2008
Having recently been diagnosed with crohn's disease and finding the Doctor's to be frustrating, I decided to give this diet a chance...I am happy to say I am drug free and able to control the symptons and flair ups. I also use accupuncture to keep my body and symptons in check. I recommend this diet to anyone having intestinal problems as well as weight issues.

everybody is different,what works for some,might not for others.  2 Stars
December 31, 2005
I too have severe crohnes disease and have taken every medication
from prednisone to remecade.The remecade works but i was very
concerned about prescription drugs and thought there must be a
more natural alternative.Now I take vitamin and mineral suplements, omega fatty acids,digestive enzimes,green food supplements and a few others to keep myself alkaline. As long
as I keep my acid-alkaline levels in the alkaline side (about ph6 to ph7) my crohnes disease remains in remission.(2 years no meds).

Better Quality of Life by KAJ (TN) 5 Stars
December 16, 2004
This is probably the most forthright and helpful book about Crohn's that has ever been on the market. Personally, I know many individuals (myself included)who have changed their entire health condition around, due to the macrobiotic lifestyle that is advocated in this book by Virginia Harper. If you really want to get well, and eventually off of your medications, read this book and get in touch with Ms. Harper- the real expert on digestive disorders. Sure, many doctors don't agree with the ideas presented in this book, most likely because they can't make any money off of you when you are well and in control of your health! Eating this way does mean you have to cook- a major lifestyle change for many. Would you rather cook and live a better quality of life, or be on meds and continuously have operations for the rest of your life, and never get the chance to live the life you were meant for? That's the decision only you can make for your self.
