I knew this book was going to be full of misinformation and pseudoscience as soon as the author opened by praising Jordan Rubin's "Patient Heal Thyself". But I read on anyway in hopes of finding any useful tidbits of information (spoiler alert: there wasn't any). Putting it bluntly, this author is just not a good writer. This entire book is a series of run-on sentences making it difficult to read. Besides her poor writing skills, the actual content of this book is truly disappointing. The book is supposed to be about fixing IBD with holistic alternatives, but it doesn't actually cover much on that topic. The majority of the book is about how to address other unrelated health problems that maybe, somehow, might possibly in some way contribute to IBD. It goes into extensive detail on how holistic remedies will cure your diabetes, adrenal dysfunction, hormone dysregulation, bacterial infections, etc. This book is full of "shoulds" and "maybes" and severely lacks any actual substantial facts or data to back up the author's claims. There is very, very little information backing up any of the claims in this book. Most of the testimonials and data that are cited don't even pertain to IBD, rather they support other gastrointestinal diseases like SIBO, IBS, GERD, or stress-induced stomach problems. At one point the author goes as far as denying that Crohn's Disease is even an autoimmnue disease at all. If you were to actually follow all the recommendations in this book you would be taking dozens of supplements daily, eating only raw vegetables, using only personal products you made yourself, practicing toxic positivity, and paying thousands of dollars out of pocket to take all the tests she recommends. If you are looking into functional/holistic alternatives to help as an adjunct to traditional Crohn's treatment - this is not the book.

Some good explanations of why managing Crohn's can be such a challenge. Encourages you to get specialist help. I went through it a second time, just to be sure: NOPE, no 10 week plan that I could find, no ten steps I could find.
