Self Healing Crohn's Disease with a Plant-based diet: I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2007. I wanted to try to control this naturally, so I was careful about what I was eating. But over time it got worse. So I ended up on various medications, for example, Budesonide, Azathioprine, Pentasa, Infliximab and Mercaptopurine. Then in 2012, I had to have surgery to remove a section of the small intestine, large intestine and appendix. After the surgery, I felt so much better and life seemed to go back to normal. But then in 2014, the disease became active again, so I was put back on Mercaptopurine. I didn’t really want to be taking this medication because of the side effects, but there seemed no other option. As it turns out I felt well on this medication and so continued taking it. The Doctors had told me this medication was for life.
Then in 2020 one of my friends introduced me to High Carb Health. I looked on the website, read all about Shamiz and read loads of the testimonials. I thought a lot about it before I actually booked the free consultation. The consultation was very thought-provoking and Shamiz was so kind and caring that I thought there really must be something to this program. So many people have been helped, why not me? The consultation made me want to go plant-based, so overnight, I did. This helped when later I decided to do the 3-month program, the detox wasn’t as bad because my body had already started to heal. I had some hair loss, aches and pains, skin rashes but my stools were “normal”. This was a very exciting part of the journey. I could feel myself getting better as each week went by. The support and guidance from Shukul each week was so valuable, there is no way I could have done this on my own. Now I feel I have the knowledge to keep healing and to stay symptom-free.
My life now only 5 months since I started the program, is so very different, I am no longer taking medication, the one I was told was for life. I am symptom-free and mentally free from always wondering where the nearest toilet is. I have become much more positive as a result of the 5 key steps, food, water, sleep, exercise and mindfulness, and I am able to enjoy life so much more. Thank you to HCH for helping me heal. To anyone thinking about doing the program and taking control of your health and getting your life back, please do it, you will not regret it.
