For starters: I really feel that I had no other choice than change the course! I know there are millions of people like me who are searching for relief from stomach and intestine problems like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and to more severe conditions such as IBD (Inflammatory bowel disease), Crohn´s disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
IT IS POSSIBLE
IBD especially can be very painful and even deadly if not effectively treated. The main message what I have learned is this: It is possible to heal. Or at least to manage. What has amazed me even more is that it is possible to live life symptom-free by making different choices. I did not know this important fact 15 years ago. In the book (The Naked Gut) I discuss the various options that have helped me enormously.
PROMEDICINE
I noticed that the help may be there, you just have to find the right one that works for you. I realised that if I wanted to live healthier, I needed to take off the blinkers and think outside the box. If and when you read the whole story, you will understand why I had to choose a different way of healing other than relying totally on western medicine. I was totally promedicine, I had even studied international marketing of medicine and I got very close to working in a big Pharma company, but destiny created a very different path to what I had originally expected.
WE MAKE CHOICES EVERY DAY
Small choices we make every day have a greater meaning in our life than we may ever understand. Sometimes choices are not given; at least it felt like that, but practically I was forced to change my opinion about how I need to heal. I know that I will not get rid of Crohn´s completely, but my main goal is to live a symptom-free life. I had to wait until I was 35 years before I really understood that this is possible.
I LEARNED THE HARD WAY
The decision I made was not an easy one and did not happen overnight. Although in 2004 I was determined about one thing: I would do whatever I could in my power to be healthy again. If the future brings a more functional medicine and less side effects, I would not turn that down either. I am open to all possibilities.
If you want to read my story, ”The Naked Gut – true story” book is available on Amazon worldwide from USA to Asia.
The book offers inspiration, hope and tools and is intended for anyone who seeks a better health. In serious conditions like Crohn’s, always seek medical advice from your Doctor.
