I had UC bad long ago, and put up with annual gallon of liquid and 6 ft probes. All the time the gastro doc stated firmly that nutrition has nothing to do with it, and that statistically I needed to be probed annually, and take these expensive brand name meds.

Finally, in 2010 I switched to starch-based plant nutrition (Dr John McDougall, and Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Michael Greger and others). Shortly thereafter, the annual inspections showed no signs of prior incidents, i.e. scar tissue on the colon lining, no polyps either. The last two visits gastro doc exclaimed the colon was clear and shiny, like one who never had UC.

Then he finally admitted, or he had a revelation from my experience), that plant-based nutrition CAN have a positive effect on UC. The gastro doc and the initial gastro ought have informed me 25 years earlier, which would have also had advantage of improving one’s health at an earlier age. They don’t teach plant nutrition in gastro or med school, no money from meds and surgery.

With my improved overall health from plant nutrition, BMI 23 vs 27, I’m no longer a statistic. Whereas, doc says need to stay on meds with annual 6 footer for life. No thanks, just look around the stores and observe that most everyone else is not in good health. Endless wide butts everywhere you go. Not do they play frequent tennis for physical exercise, lately 5x/week.

End of expensive meds and annual probes. If any cancer were to develop from a polyp it could take 10-15 years to reach measurable size, and I’d be very old anyway. Other advantage was that I dropped Lipitor for life within 3 months after switching nutrition, and never looked back. Now I’m in better physical health than ever, better in sports and stamina than before, and likely stronger immune system.

Criticize and 2nd guess if you want, but it worked well for me. Or, try it for 30 days and note any difference (weight, cholesterol, etc). If good, do it another 30 days, then 90 etc. Maybe avoid stents, bypass surgery, prostate cancer or breast cancer, diabetes 2, rheumatoid arthritis, with better external physical appearance. Your choice.
