“The Maker’s Diet Saved My Life!”

A Shocking Discovery

In 1994 at 19 years of age and six foot one inch tall, my weight plummeted from 180 pounds to a shocking 104 pounds in a matter of months. As my immune system began to break down, I suffered from a list of debilitating conditions, including intestinal parasites, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, liver problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, prostate and bladder infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic depression.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Though I was not familiar with the disease, I soon learned that my future looked bleak. I was told that medications would keep me alive, but I quickly discovered that their side effects were nearly as bad as the disease itself. And then, it turned out, the medications weren’t that effective. I continued to waste away.  Science knew of no cause or cure for Crohn’s at the time, and my prognosis was very poor.

After both conventional and alternative medicines failed me — and after 70 health professionals in seven countries put me through more than 500 different (and often bizarre) treatments — I was sent home in a wheelchair to die.
 
Overcoming an Incurable Disease
 
My world changed when my father contacted an eccentric nutritionist who said he believed I was ill because I was not eating the diet of the Bible.
 
I integrated the nutritionist’s program with my own findings about nutrition and health from the Bible, and for the first time in my long battle, I saw some improvement in my health.
 
I believe my survival is a true testament to the power of my faith in God and the revolutionary health program I call The Maker's Diet. In the seven years since my recovery, I have not shown any symptoms of the disease that nearly took my life.
