Isn’t It About Time You Stopped Being Sick, Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless?

We’ll show you how to get to the root cause of your illness, especially if you’re still struggling to figure out what’s wrong.


Dear Friend,

Of course, you want to stop being sick.

But you’re confused, afraid, and you don’t know where to turn.  You don’t want to be sick anymore, you’d rather have energy and a dependable stomach, and you should.

That’s where we come in.  For the last 6 years, we’ve been working on our health, and helping thousands of others recover theirs.  It’s our lifelong mission.

Over those 6 years, we’ve seen what works and doesn’t work when it comes to restoring your health.

Keep reading, and we’ll show you exactly what to do for your situation.

The first thing we need to do is understand what you’re up against.  The competition you’re facing as you do everything you can to stop being sick as quickly as possible.

Here Are Four Strategies That
Never Work – Yet People Always Try

Which these strategies are you trying right now?

1. Relying on a special diet alone to fix your problems. ”I’m strict with my diet. I want to do this naturally. food is the only medicine I need.” Diet will always help and build your foundation to health… but it’s never the end all – be all.  Taking this approach almost never works.

2. The second strategy is searching for the magic supplement.    Supplements are a “supplement” for a reason.  They support the whole of a treatment plan.  They plug holes and deficiencies to reinforce what we’re already doing.  They aren’t going to fix anything all by themselves.

3. The third strategy is long-shot alternative treatments, things like coffee enemas, liver cleanses, colonics, and green smoothies. That stuff never works by itself and in some cases, they can be dangerous to do on your own.

4. Treatment by symptoms. We become addicted to chasing our symptoms.

We have people telling us all the time, “I have symptoms of Candida so I’m switching to the anti-candida diet and doing a 30-day cleanse.” But the truth is: you have no idea what you have without proper testing.

We call it the Google Death Spiral… there’s a lot of information on the internet and Google searching until 3 AM can feel empowering, but the truth is: symptoms are deceiving.

But the symptoms are hard to ignore…  feeling tired, not sleeping, digestive problems, poop problems, pain, etc.  Those are the things we want to go away.  But they aren’t necessarily related to the root cause of your problems.

The worst thing we see is when Doctors treat by symptoms. It’s so frustrating for us to hear stories of people that have been working with their Doctor for years, chasing symptoms, and not getting any better.

Instead, here are…

Three Things You Can
Start Doing Right Away
To Turn The Tide In Your Favor…

When you’re trying to recover your health, there’s a lot going on inside your body…

Instead of using symptoms to guide your treatment it’s much more powerful to use them as indicators of what tests might reveal your root problems.

We call it the “Symptom blindfold” because until you have reliable test result in your hands, you can’t make decisions about your treatment plan without being distracted by those tricky symptoms.

I remember years ago I was having this weird random diarrhea, even though I’d been on the SCD diet for 2 years and I thought I was healed.  This diarrhea would come and go.  I’d be stuck in the bathroom for hours in extreme pain wondering if this was some kind of “die off” reaction I’d read about.

It wasn’t until I got the right testing done I figured out I had a parasite.  Once I treated it, I felt like I had a whole new body.  This parasite had been there for years and even though the diet was helping, I would have continued to suffer from this parasite if I hadn’t been tested.

Now, here are three ideas to help you use the “symptom blindfold” method of treatment to start feeling better.

1. Test the three body systems

We’ve trained with Dr. Kalish in his Functional Medicine Mentorship and his wellness philosophy involves balancing the three body systems.

  • Your hormonal system produces your sex and stress hormones.
  • Your digestive system breaks down food for use by the body.
  • And your detoxification system protects you from free radicals and chemical toxicity, both from your environment and from your diet.

He’s taught us that every health issue can be traced back to a problem within one or more of your three body systems.  If one of the systems crashes, it’s likely the others will crash as well.

Through targeted lab testing you can do in the privacy of your own home for each of these systems, you can assess how each system is working and what areas need to be corrected to rebalance your body.

2. Fix the body system that crashed first. 

At the core of functional medicine, the body system that crashed first needs to be corrected first.

For example, if you went through an extremely stressful period of your life, like the death of a spouse or child, and your illness was trigged within 6 -24 months of that… your hormonal system likely crashed first.

Like in 2005 after my Mom died of Cancer I started suffering from diarrhea 10X a day.  A few years later, Doctors finally figured out I had Celiac Disease.  I couldn’t believe how fast my health fell apart.  It can happen to anyone like that.

And it can even be a slow burn out, where you hardly notice how bad you feel until one day you wake up and realize, “Hey, this isn’t right!”

Say you’re dealing with Ulcerative Colitis in your GI Tract, but your hormonal system crashed first after an ugly divorce and custody battle.  If you want to get rid of the digestive problems, you also need to go back and treat the hormone problems.  If you don’t support the hormonal system, it’s likely your digestive system will never completely heal, no matter what you do.

3. Work with a skilled practitioner 

This is the most important thing you can do to get better.  A skilled guide, preferably one trained in Functional medicine, that understands testing and uses reliable testing companies.

Hopefully, they’re aware of the “symptom blindfold” and how important it is to use testing to get to the root cause of your problems.

Not only that, but some of the best practitioners we know were people who were sick as hell just like us and they understand what it’s like to crawl back from the brink of death.

It’s also important they understand there are several ingredients to getting better such as: diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes.

They can also answer questions like: which one of your body systems are crashed?  Do you have Adrenal fatigue?  Parasites? Detox problems?

All these things need to be understood before you recover from chronic illness plagued with inflammation, leaky gut, and gut dysbiosis.

And only a skilled guide knows the right tests and therapeutic program to restore your three body systems.  And I can’t caution you enough, ordering the WRONG tests is not only expensive, but a false test result can send your treatment plan on a wild goose chase and make you want to give up.

Hopefully you haven’t already spent years using misleading test results like some of our other clients.

Here’s a typical case in our 1-on-1 private consulting:

Recently we worked 1-on-1 with a 32-year old female who was suffering from severe Ulcerative Colitis as well as Enthritis (a form of arthritis related to UC)

She had been on SCD for 1.5 years and still continued to get worse.  Of course, she was very upset and ready to give up.  She owned her own business but couldn’t do it anymore because of the joint pain and 10+ bloody BM’s a day.

When we started working together and listening to her case, she revealed a traumatic stressful event back in college that still haunts her to this day.  It was 6 months after that event she noticed blood in her stools and the Ulcerative Colitis flared up.

After some hormone testing, it turns out she was in stage 3 adrenal fatigue and her hormone system was completely crashed.  A few weeks after starting the therapeutic supplements, her energy started coming back and the bloody stools became less and less.  She’s still improving and working on going off all meds.

Those Same Simple Strategies
Can Work For You Too

I know, because they’ve worked for thousands of people just like you.  We’ve seen the results in the Kalish Mentorship and the private clients we’ve worked with 1-on-1.

Your situation is not a mystery – If you have the right information.

More importantly – your situation is not hopeless.

Dr. Kalish has used these strategies with over 8,000 patients in the last 20 years and now we’re seeing the same results with people ourselves.  Not only that, but we’ve used these strategies on our own health before we started helping others.

Does it work? Does it work? Does it work?

If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably not feeling as good as you could.

Stop what doesn’t work. Try something that has a chance of working.

When you’ve already made enough mistakes on your own, and many of us have all made these mistakes – the mistakes of getting tests that don’t tell us anything, of trying too many different diets, of spending hundreds of dollars on supplements that didn’t help.

Learn from what other people just like you have done to successfully recover their health, feel better, and beat chronic illness.

Here’s How We Can Help You
Restore Your Health Right Now

We’ve been doing private 1-on-1 coaching for the last three years.  It’s been behind the scenes, mostly when people email us for more help.  But now we’re making this available publicly so we can help even more people.

These skills have taken years to develop.

One of the hardest things for us is to tell someone to “find a skilled practitioner” when they are desperate for someone to help them get better. We honestly don’t know that many skilled people who will listen to them, know what tests to order and use time tested protocols.  And understand what it’s like to see a toilet full of blood, being emancipated and scared to leave the house.

Because we know how RARE these people are.  Not only that, but the people we do know like that are booked solid!

And the absolute worst case is when someone emails us after spending $1,000’s of dollars on worthless tests and supplements… or even $20,000 at a special Clinic and didn’t get better.

Our new 1-on-1 private consults can help you get the testing you need, but also support you in the diet, supplement, and lifestyle changes that your body is asking you for.

One the best things our clients say is how nice it is to work with people who’ve dealt with ‘mysterious’ and chronic illness.  People who’ve trained with experts who work with these complex problems on a daily basis and give them the straight truth about what needs to happen.

We’d love to work with you 1-on-1…

Especially if you want help to…

  • Lose the last 20 pounds
  • Stop Crohn’s from stealing your life
  • Make Ulcerative Colitis something you “used to have”
  • Find the answers to IBS struggles that eludes everyone
  • Jump out of Bed and back into the gym
  • Remove the dark cloud that seems to control your life
  • Kick Constipation to the curb and never struggle to GO again
  • STOP your Diarrhea
  • Or any other problems related to your digestion, energy, and body.

Now, we have to be clear with you – we are not Doctors and we don’t want to be.  We are not licensed to give medical advice and that’s NOT what we’re doing.

In fact, we have Engineering degrees.  We are trained in complex problem solving.  We’ve been using our engineering mindset to help people just like you for years.  And we specialize in working with people suffering from digestive problems just like we had.

It gives us an edge.  An edge that will help you.  Our lack of traditional dogma allows us to be open to seeking out the people that are getting results and train with them.  So we surrounded ourselves with the best Functional Medicine Mentors we could find.

We’re proud to say we’ve helped thousands of people – even when they felt hopeless.

Now, you must take the next step.

You’ve got to take some constructive action right away, or the very thing you fear most will come true, and your situation will be hopeless.

If you’re ready to work with us 1-on-1, we start with a 1-hour case review that includes a full case history.  During this hour we ask in-depth questions and to trace back the origins of your problems and see what testing you need to get done.  Then we’ll get to work giving you the next steps to feel better as soon as you get off the phone with us.

You can book your first 1-hour case review now for only $250.  Immediately after signing up, you’ll schedule your appointment and start filling out the intake paperwork for us.

We can help you. But you’ve got to take the first step.

We look forward to hearing from you today.

In good health,

PS — How fast will you get better working with us 1-on-1?

We don’t know.  We can’t make guarantees about that stuff.

What we can tell you is thousands of people just like you have our material in the last 4 years, and we get emails every day from people telling us how their lives have changed.  We’ve worked with 100s of people 1-on-1 over the last three years.

They have a whole new lease on life and still can’t believe it.

Let’s say you didn’t book a 1-hour case review with us.

Where will that leave you?

Will you be kicking yourself for the rest of your life if you didn’t try everything possible to get health?

We can’t make the decision for you. It’s 100% up to you.

We can help you, but you’ve got to take the first step.

PPS – we’ve been getting a lot of questions, so here’s a few that might help you:

1. How do the appointments happen?

After you purchase using the button above, you’ll be taken to a calender to pick a time slot that works for you. Then you fill out the required case review paperwork and return it within time for us to review it. The call will take place for US residents on Audio Only Skype or a phone line. For Non-US residents we only use Audio Only Skype. So please download the program from Skype.com it is free and allows us to talk you no matter where you are in the world.

2. How much will I spend on testing?

Testing can be anywhere from $150 – $950 depending on what you need.  That is impossible for us to guess without having the 1-hour case review with you.  What we can do is tell you specifically which tests are most important so you can order them in a way that makes sense for you.

3. What does the case review get me?

During the 1-hour case review, we will go through your case history to listen to what you’ve been through and go in-depth to understand  the possible next steps.  These steps will always one or more tests, supplement changes, lifestyle changes and specific diet tweaks.

We always leave time for you to ask questions at the end so you feel fully supported until we speak again.

4. What happens after the case review?

After the case review, we will talk with you about scheduling additional 30-min appointments to support you in diet and lifestyle changes.  Most importantly, as new information becomes available from testing, we will schedule 30 minute follow up appointments. The cost of a 30-min follow-up appointment is $125.

5. How long do clients typically work with you?

It really depends on the case, but as a general rule you can expect at least 6 months and in some cases, up to 2 years or more.  Complex illnesses typically involve many moving parts and our clients want the very best results.  So it takes time to go from barely able to get out of bed to feeling like a whole new person.

6. How often do the sessions take place?

After our initial case review how often we meet will be up to you. Each person is different, but the two main factors are the complexity of the case and the amount of support they desire. In general we are hear to support you as best we can.

Are consultations via phone or live web chat? Do you suggest supplements that you sell or can they be obtained from a separate source? Finally do you have the names of functional medicine physicians you would recommend at the conclusion of the introductory consultation?
Thanks

@Page – The consults are done via Skype or we will call you. We do help with supplements but we are extremely picky about which one’s we recommend to anyone and therefore some of them a regular consumer cannot obtain.

Hi Jordan and Steve!!

Definitely interested in this, but am curious – how do we go about getting the testing done after the consultation? Can we order tests ourselves as patients, through you guys, or is it through our PCP/health provider?

Thanks a bunch!! I am so thankful that you are offering this amazing opportunity.

Cheers,

How about testing in/from Mexico? Since your interview with Paul Jaminet I’ve been interested in the GI DNA Profile stool test and maybe the hair toxicity test as I suspect either a bug that I haven’t been able to kill or a heavy metal toxicity. But I am not sure if the samples can be sent to the U.S. easily. I know a Dr. who performs the Metametrix Saliva and Blood tests here and ship them to the U.S. but I don’t know if he has a special allowance or if it doesn’t matter.

I would love to work with you guys to include advise involving surgery and ostomy diets.My 11 year old developed ibd symptoms very quickly and ended up stuck in a hospital for 2 months. They could not control bleeding a d underwent an emergency surgery. We were then sent home to cope with not only ibd but now an ostomy. It’s been 6 months and I ( we) have learned a lot on our own. There is a lot of Info which would be useful to add to your success and help others like my daughter and moms feeling out of control.

Sincerely, a single mom of 3 unable to work because of our health crisis. Your info sends a lot of support…… If only our doctors and hospitals would include natural and obvious health remedys before cutting organs out if children!

Hi there,
I had quite severe colitis and also had to figure out how to heal on my own (this was before these guys started their website). My child hasn’t had it but I would want for any parent to know how to heal this themselves and the doctors don’t give us this kind of information (SCD diet, counseling, supplements, stress management). I am wondering since I have a children’s website, we may be able to put a link on it about this and refer to where they can get information. If you have ideas I’d welcome it. I hope your daughter is doing well now. What a big journey for both of you. Nancy

kelly February 5, 2013 at 1:10 pm

Hi Steve and Jordon. If I have already worked with both a ND and a functional medicine MD (along with a host of main stream GI and Endocrine specialists) and have some test results from Genova Labs (CDSA 2.0, Adrenocortex Stress profile, Bacterial overgrowth of small intestine, NutrEval fmv amino acids) would these tests suffice or at least be considered? I have spent so much money running around to so many doctors who continue to order numerous tests and order medications and supplements (none have worked and some have made things worse) that funds are running dry. I know I can’t put a price on my health but I am trying to get smart about who I’m seeing and am not interested in continuing to throw money down the drain on more testing with no results. These tests uncovered some answers but I feel like my current doctor isn’t really paying attention to what is going on and keeps adding more supplements to what I’m already taking and I have to remind her of what we are dealing with (she seems scattered and isn’t focused on me when I see her). It’s so frustrating and I’m getting weaker and sicker by the day and also have a college age daughter who is having similar symptoms. Thanks for any input!

Reply

Steven Wright February 8, 2013 at 9:56 am

@Kelly – I can understand your frustration, Jordan and I have spent similar time and money trying to get our answers. The tests will defiantly help us figure out what is going on, but as to what direction to go in next, I can’t say for sure without seeing the tests, Genova is a great company, but as with all companies not all the products they make are the best in the industry. Also, if you got the tests done too long ago, have attempted protocols based off the results then there is a need to retest as the protocols we use very much depend on what your current health status is.

I enjoy what you do, and though I am often too tired to read all your posts, I don’t delete any…always try to get around to viewing them later! I have dealt with Crohns for some time. Like many of us, have been around the block and back a few times. Have a pretty good sense of things that currently contribute to healing, and those that send me in the other direction. I get a lot of info on a visceral and intuitive level, supported by the science I read (and visa versa), along with sources of helpful info such as the two of you provide. Did SCD (GAPS) for a few months and I found I could not completely embrace it. However, I generally employ a low carb, mostly no grain diet. Currently eat and enjoy some raw veggies for first time in a while. Also, cooked veggies, meats, fish, poultry, eggs, small amounts of fruit. Finally getting on homemade broths and/or soups made with them, almost daily. Have been a sugar addict, but have noticed that I want sweets less and less. A lot of the desire from sugar seems to be to satisfy something in the brain, or the emotions. Was on LDN for a little stretch and it helped me. Currently off drugs, except for Canasa suppositories. I would like to do some of the testing. Like a lot of folks, finances are tight. When I can, I will contact you. Meanwhile, it is very cool having you in my inbox. You feel like comrades.

HI Jordan and Steve,

Your work has been immensely helpful to me in this journey with UC. Thank you so much for all that you do. I started the SCD diet in May 2012 and have been med-free for 10 months. It is a great feeling, although I still have a long way to go. I recently started a yeast kill protocol with an herbal supplement. I plan to sign up for a consultation with you once I give the herbs a month or two to see if they work- one thing at a time. My question is, how far out are you booking? If I want an appointment in April, when do I need to sign up? Right now?

Thanks!

Jane

@Shaleena – Yes we can Mauritius is on the list! SCD is used by many but not all our clients. We work with each client to tailor a diet that fits not only their symptoms but also their lifestyle and geographic location.

Steve and Jordan,

You are truly correct when you say test nightmares and tons of wasted money.. I am at my wits end with ND treatments that made me sicker and MDs that tell me they can’t find anything wrong. I have spent the last 11 month on SCD. I was feeling so much better on the diet after being diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis (caused by a prescription NSAID) last January but I was still have some issues like migraines and mild indigestion. After reading your website I realized I might have to tweak the SCD diet so I went to what I thought was a very reputable ND.
They recommended testing of all kinds. ($1500 worth of tests) one which included a Metametrix test (the one you recommended on the site 2105). It was H pylori pos and some other things as well. My ND started me on a 21 day cleanse diet and a supplement treatment they said would kill the H pylori and a yeast infection. They put me on the treatment for H-pyloir that day without any other test results back yet. The treatment sent me spiraling down to 102 pounds and sent me to the emergency room 2 times in 15 days. Now I can’t even eat what I was eating on SCD. They told me after the fact that I am Fruit, egg, gluten and dairy intolerant (according to the tests) as well and now I find can’t eat nuts either. I was eating all these things on SCD before the treatment. I’m scare to eat anything and have relentless upper abdominal pain now. Whats left? My Gastro MD has done 2 endoscopes, one over a year ago and another one recently (after the horrifying natural treatment for the H-yplori) and both were neg for H-pylori and normal.

After gall bladder testing, stomach emptying study, cardiac testing and now an upper abdominal scan for blockage he put me back on acid blockers and said he doesnt know whats wrong. Then he told me not to come back to him if I was going to continue to do work with the ND.

I have tons of tests from the ND that I would like to discuss with you but I’m so distrustful and scared to do anything else for fear I will get worse. I’m back to where I was 11 months ago before SCD and worse. It just goes on and on. I am usually a fit, healthy person who takes care of myself. Can you really help? I will spend the money one last time if you can really review all this and give me some advise that makes sense. This is a nightmare. Who do you trust?

Linda Porter March 12, 2013 at 7:16 pm

Thanks guys,

Just a couple more questions before I sign up. If we do have to have treatment that requires an RX how do you go about getting that done? Does the Doctor you work with for RX look over the test results and then prescribe from that?

Do you review all the current tests I have? they are only 1 month old. After reading your bit about bad tests I’m not even sure they all came from a reputable lab.

Reply

Steven Wright March 13, 2013 at 2:52 pm

@Linda – Yes the MD that we refer people too is very experienced in these tests, you can also work with your own GI/MD if you’d like if you need an RX.

We will review anything and everything you send us in the case review process. So yes we’ll talk about the labs and quality or applicability then.

Gareth March 11, 2013 at 7:23 pm

Hi Guys,

I’ve made some improvements with the SCD diet and supplements. Now I’d like to get the appropriate testing done in the hope that it will provide me the information to move forward at a faster pace. There is one issue regarding the consultation that you provide that I’m uncertain about. According to the Metametrix and Biolab websites, they only provide testing through licensed medical practitioners. You guys stress that you are not doctors, so how are you able to provide that testing? Second, if you are able to provide that testing, how precisely does it work with people outside the US? I suppose you would order the tests, send them to us and then we ship them back? Before investing any money with you, I’d like to know exactly how the process works.

Thanks for your help,

Gareth

Jordan Reasoner March 12, 2013 at 11:37 am

Hi Gareth,

That’s a great question. We work with many clients outside the us, what country are you in? We work with people in Israel, the UK, Germany, Ireland, Australia, etc. We haven’t had a problem getting tests to people in those countries.

As far as the testing goes, we do order tests for our clients. We have student practitioner accounts through our mentors.

In good health,

Hi! Quick question – are either of you familiar with the “Nutritional Balancing” program (Dr. Lawrence Wilson) that first tests using a specific hair mineral analysis test? (The Hair Mineral Analysis test provides a mineral blueprint of one’s biochemistry, and can provide pertinent information about the metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohydrate tolerance, stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity) They say you cannot heal your digestive disease without balancing these all important minerals that regulate and control the hormone systems…would love to hear your feedback on this! And do any of your tests you recommend test for mineral levels?
Thank you!

Hi Guys,

Great work you are doing!

I am interested in booking an appointment as soon as possible. Before I do, I would like to share my symptoms as you may not feel your protocol can help me. I have acid reflux, celiac disease, no gall bladder, and a mild case of gastro-paresis (I am don’t suffering cycle vomitting or uncontrolled nausea…thank God!).

Because of the challenge of gastroparesis, I know the slowed motility is one of the causes of my battle with candida. I recently had surgery and even though I only had anti-biotics during surgery and none afterwards, I have been battling abdominal cramps with bloody diarrhea multilple times a day.

I did SCD in 2006, and slowly over time despite long, stress work hours and recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina with a destroyed home, I was able to achieve NORMAL stools and was able to wein myself off the meds. Because of the demands of work as a national sales rep who travels and dines out frequently, I got off the diet.

I am currently preparing to return to work and am concerned about checking the diarrhea again. I’ve lost about 15 lbs that I didn’t have to lose and know that without intervention, I will continue to lose more weight and fatigue will worsen. I am not taking meds, although my GI doc just prescribed Asacol. To avoid dehydration and further weight loss, I may need to take the Asacol while doing SCD and taper off the drugs.

I really want to take my health to the next level? I still work a full-time job which I need to pay the bills. I am completely open to new ideas, testing, etc… Do you think you could help someone like me with gastroparesis and colitis?

Regards,
Kenny

I’m still contemplating the 1 on 1 session. I have been in remission from Ulcerative Colitis for about a year now. I started smoking again about a year ago. Tried quitting again about a month ago and felt and seen all the symptoms of UC right away. No where have I seen any talk about the link between smoking and UC on your website. What are your thoughts on that? I really want to quit smoking but feel I need the extra support. Feeling really stuck (smoke or UC) UGH! I pretty much follow the SCD diet. Lately I have been doing the Four Hour Body to lose the fat I gained recently.

Reply

Steven Wright April 4, 2013 at 11:58 am

@ Tammy – There are some links to nicotine and IBD in the literature. For your health it’s best to stop smoking. It might be helping now but the longterm consequences are not good. My bet is that you have some adrenal issues that need to get worked out. When you are ready to make some changes sign up.

Crystal April 5, 2013 at 2:29 am

Hey guys,

I am seriously considering some 1-on-1 consulting with you, but I don’t have your typical Colitis or Crohns.

Through extensive testing with Metametrix, breath testing labs and Nutripath in Australia I know that I have a leaky gut, low levels of pancreatic elastase, loads of nutritional deficiencies, some adrenal insufficiency and that I’m not a hydrogen or methane responder :(

I am also sensitive to dairy, gluten, salicylates, amines and possibly FODMAPs and sulphur containing foods (which is totally doing my head in!)… so I cannot consume a lot of the foods or supplements you normally would eat to help heal a leaky gut.

I am working with a chiropractor, naturopath and GP’s already but nothing seems to be getting any better for me.

Do you think you would be able to help me?
I understand that you would be approaching my case from a different perspective (and I see that as a good thing!) what do you think you would be able to offer me in the way of advice and protocols that I might not be getting already?

Thank you!!

I have Crohn’s, I’m on the Humira drug and I wasn’t doing badly but tried taking zinc after suggestions from Steven and Jordan’s website – it’s working, took about 3 weeks as they said, but it’s amazing – I’m doing so much better. I also see a nutritionist who has me on other various vitamins and minerals and I’m stabilized in weight. Since taking the zinc I will now be able to eat vegetables and hopefully loose a bit of weight. It’s all small steps and I’m very careful. As for the humira, I have no side effects although I do take vitamin D each day as well as B vitamins with C (from my pharmacist who has rheumatoid arthritis and takes humira). Hope this paragraph will be of help to some of you out there. All the best for the future – Susan.

I don’t have a diagnosis yet. I have been sick for 25 years with my symptoms, illness becoming worse this past 5 years. I am now seeing a ND and feel I am finally making some headway. I wish I had gone to her before. She recommends I try the SCD diet. Tomorrow is my first day. I have my soup and gelatin made and will make the burgers tomorrow. I have a question about my supplements. Do I continue those? Vit C, D3, B12, glutamin and pepcix. I also take and have been taking phenobarbitol since 1970 for seizures. I don’t have many, one grand mal every 10 years or so. Maybe I won’t have any more….just don’t know. I am wondering if that medication could cause this. I was 15 when I started the meds. and am now 57. Either way, I am going to give the SCD diet a try. It seems I have nothing to lose at this point. I am interested in your one on one visit? I will see how this diet goes.

Please let me know about the supplements. Oh, and what about eating in between meals? It seems the menu just show the 3 meals.

Would you say that diet alone can correct SIBO? I have lost a lot of weight and am down to 94 lbs because of my many many food intolerances. i am working with a very good ND who is testing. I went through a treatment for H pylori, and I have celiac. My GI is repeating colonoscopy, endoscopy, and will be getting the lactulose breath test for sibo in the next two weeks. He wants me to take xifaxan along with my natural protocols and the SCD diet. I am sensitive to lactic acid do you think that soil based probiotics are a good alternative? On a positive note, I was able to consume 1800 calories today! I eat a lot of eggs, tuna, white fish. Can’t do chicken or poultry. So would you say the fish broth has the same healing properties?

I have had Grave’s and Hashimoto’s for 7 years, ablated thyroid last year. There are endless philosophies for how to heal. My diet is impeccable for a normal healthy person, but not necessarily for someone who has no idea why they are chronically ill. Thyroid meds don’t improve my symptoms. (I have minor constipation, diarrhea but nothing close to the descriptions I’ve read above). Although I tested 3 for Celiac antibodies (0-5 range is negative) and an upper endoscopy showed no villi damage, we are told gluten-free, gluten-free, gluten-free. So I tried it for 2 weeks. On day 4 of reintroducing gluten, I blacked out. No symptoms from reintroducing gluten that I remember except that I blacked out on day 4. At the doctor, my BP was 90/48, even after IV, and remained this low for 2 days. I am petrified to try to going gluten-free again, even the “right way”.

My thyroid antibodies are still sky high after thyroid ablation so apparently they are still very upset about something, because my thyroid is dead and no longer available for attacking. Would the stool samples be something that could provide insight as to what my thyroid antibodies are still fighting? Can they detect leaky gut. i.e. how do you know if you have a leaky gut? Can they detect toxic mold (stachybotrys, acremonium, etc.)? Can they detect candida overgrowth?

Kindest regards,
janice

Dear Steven & Jordan, I’ve read with interest many, many hours on your site but I’ve never seen the symptoms that I have that come from my digestive problems. I am in the process of losing my fingernails. They are slowly shrinking and thinning to the point where they are useless! Also all my fingertips are numb and tingly, they feel like I stuck them in super glue! I also have a very hoarse voice that is getting worse since it started a year ago. I’ve been told that it’s acid reflux but I don’t want to take the pills. (I did your low stomach acid test with the baking soda the last three mornings but NO BURPS) But my biggest complaint is no energy! I have occasional problems with my stomach but I don’t think its IBS. Have been thinking about doing a consult but with all I”ve told you, do you think you can help? Also, I saw a regular Dr last week and she ordered tons of blood work, but I’m kind of afraid of what she will tell me. I don’t want to be on some kind of pill the rest of my life that only addresses the symptom and doesn’t solve the problem!

Hi Guys,
I just want to write in for the folks like me who have spent many hours reading your posts, Facebook, blogs etc. I, of course am very skeptical of both Western Pharmaceutical based medicine as well as online pay as you go web promises. I have been struggling with parasites, chronic constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, severe food intolerances, leaky gut, and coffee/water enema dependancy. I bought your SCD E-book and Breaking the Vicious Cycle and have been feeling more steady after just a few weeks of sloppy attempts at this diet. After wasted $$ (no insurance) with well-meaning but misinformed doctors, I finally gave up and scheduled a 1 on 1 with you guys. I had a consult yesterday with Jordan and for the first time in years, I feel like I have some hope and direction. It’s like I’ve been driving all over the country, using up gas and getting nowhere, and now I have at least a roadmap and triple A to call if I breakdown. Jordan was professional, supportive, extremely well informed and reassuring. I’m already started on a protocol for healing. He didn’t tell me I was crazy or hopeless. My finances are extremely limited and I believe he’ll guide me through testing and supps in the most optimal way. I’m no longer shooting in the dark and trying to self-diagnose. I know it’s early in the game but I already feel like I’m not alone in this. The reason I’m writing this is that I looked all over the internet to find unbiased feedback or reviews about SCD Lifestyle and could find none. Family members warned me to be wary of “Internet scams”.
So I’m writing to say…(I can’t say for anyone else, but…) these guys are for real, and have a wealth of experience and knowledge that I believe can help me overcome these debilitating symptoms. (I have no affiliation or financial investment in Jordan or Steve, I’m just another person in the world with an undiagnosed medical condition and very limited resources… hoping for relief and looking for someone I can trust, that may be able to help me.)
I hope this is helpful for anyone (like me) who is at the end of their rope with symptom chasing solutions. I’ll write again as I go to let others know how it goes…
Thanks Jordan, Steve and the SCD team,
Suzanne

You’re too amazing it give up :-)

I can’t wait until we speak again!

- In good health,

Jordan

Hi there
Thank you for information on your site. Do you know what strains are in the yoghurt starter you recommend? The company website does not detail. I’ll also keep chasing up an alternative in Australia.

Hello Jordon and Steve:
Thank you for all the information you share. I am trying to help my mother She has advanced rheumatoid arthritis and a very sensitive digestive system (she’s in her 70s). One wrong bite can cause all sorts of problems. She took the ALCAT test (twice) to help address the arthritis (worked with a practitioner). This improved her fatigue and digestive system, but her digestive system is still very fragile. Rotating foods every 4 days is impossible for a senior citizen. Do you think she should try the SCD diet even though it includes foods that the ALCAT test tells her not to eat? I am thinking if we can heal her leaky cut, then her food sensitivities will be reduced and eliminated. Or perhaps we should combine the two approaches? Follow SCD but without the foods listed on the ALCAT?

Hi Jackie – it’s great to hear from you. One thing we are passionate about is that most food allergy or intolerance testing is unreliable when someone has severe leaky gut because they tend to show positive for most of the foods they were eating when the test was conducted.

This video might help: http://scdlifestyle.tv/food-allergy-vs-food-intolerance-showdown/

I’d test out the diet for 30-days and see how she feels. Just know, part of what we lay the groundwork for in our book is creating a custom diet. She will have to test and tweak to find the custom diet that works for her…

In good health,

Jordan

Thank you! This is great. The argument for the ALCAT test was that it would remove the need to rotate foods to troubleshoot. (Again very hard for a senior. ) But I understand about the false positives.

I noticed you have a new client special for the next two days. Since I haven’t read any of your material yet, I feel I am not ready for this. How often do you offer this?

I would like to have my mother try the diet for 30 days, first. Also, where are the links for the supplements, troubleshooting guide, and book? I could not find a place on your site where we can easily view your product list.

Thank you again! Jackie

Hi Jackie – this is the first time we’ve offered a special with our consulting, but we may do it in the future, I’m not sure yet. As we continue to expand our client base we may reach a point where we have to pause accepting new clients.

I look forward to working with your Mom’s case if it works out.

In good health,

Hi,

I’ve been struggling with UC for a little bit over a year and I live in NYC. I’m looking for a great doctor and I didn’t know if you had anybody in particular you recommend?

Best,
Shane
