IBD Heal

In 2016 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I knew very little about the disease and was confident in the medics suggestion that it could be controlled by medication. After a round of steroids and Asacol, it subsided for 12 months. My second flare-up was much worse and I continued to flare up every 6 months with my medication being increased each time. Eventually, I was put on Remicade and then Entivio. My antibodies rejected the Entivio and by December 2019, I ended up in the hospital. At this stage, I was passing a lot of blood and needing the toilet 40+ times. They couldn’t complete that colonoscopy due to the inflammation, even with morphine.

I was advised by the Gastro specialist that I would have no choice but to remove most of my colon and have a colostomy bag put into my body. I asked the specialist nurse if diet would help and she said absolutely not. The best thing I could do was go home and eat as much meat as possible to make me strong enough for surgery. She also suggested I have irreversible surgery because there was no coming back with my health. You can imagine how frustrated this made me feel. I knew there were other options and I was adamant I would exhaust trying these before I gave into surgery and life-changing surgery at that.  

While in hospital I revisited the Whole Food Plant-based Diet (I had attempted trying this in July without understanding it fully and I failed) and watched all of the HCH testimonials that I could fit in. I decided to take the plunge and contacted HCH in January to start the programme. In the meantime, I had worked with a well known Bioenergy specialist who definitely helped bridge the gap. I began on my healing through diet, exercise, hydrating correctly, sleeping correctly and looking at all the positivities in life. After speaking with both Shamiz and Shukul, I realised that this could have a really successful outcome for me if I was fully committed.  

Within a few weeks of the programme, I could already see huge improvements. I had two detoxes - the first one was easy and I thought that I was healed. The second one hit and removed all the toxins in the body that had built up over the years through food and medication. When I got out the other side of the second detox, I felt like I was running towards the finish line. Everything improved. My body started to rebuild itself by putting on healthy weight again, I had more energy than I ever had in my life before and I was only using the toilet 2/3 times a day with no urgency or symptoms of UC.  I am now feeling better than I have ever felt in all my years. 

I am so grateful to High Carb Health that they worked with me in reversing UC and have given me a better life than I ever had, even before the diagnosis. I now look forward to living a healthy and happy life where I can do all the normal things that we all take for granted until we become ill. Most of all, I am free of medication and all of the horrible side effects that come with it.

Today we have the inspirational Dr Nandita Shah on the show to share her story on healing and also her work on helping people reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

Free Consultation: https://www.highcarbhealth.com/healthsurvey/

Dr Nandita Shah, the recipient of the prestigious Nari Shakti Puraskaar in 2016, is the Founder, Director, and trustee of SHARAN.

She founded SHARAN in 2005 with the aim of helping people to heal themselves, and the planet, by connecting to animals and nature.

SHARAN is now a vibrant and growing social enterprise, whose vision is to build a culture of health, and has already positively impacted more than 100,000 lives in India and overseas.

A homeopath and a teacher

Dr Shah is a registered medical doctor, specialised in homeopathy from the CMP Homeopathic Medical College in Mumbai. Having always been interested in natural health she chose homeopathy because it was the treatment which did the least harm.

Graduating in 1981, she had a thriving practice in Mumbai and also regularly taught all over the world at seminars and conferences.

In 1997, Dr Shah suffered from Guillain Barre, an acute auto-immune disease. She decided to heal without the use of any modern medical treatment or hospitalisation, but instead with helpers at home. She describes the long and difficult journey as a path to personal and professional growth which taught her at a very personal level about health and healing. After experiencing changes through a whole plant-based diet in her own health and that of several serious patients, it became clear that treating with only good, healthy food was not only faster and more consistent in reversing diseases than homeopathy, but also less subjective.

Today's episode features how Sibel has been able to heal from Ulcerative Colitis. Here is her story!! 

Hey, Sibel here! I write this was so much excitement, as I had been visualising the day that I would be able to leave my “life after colitis” story! And here I am : )

After ending up in A+E in August 2020 and going through tests, I was diagnosed with UC. Doctors were telling me I had inflammation through the roof and had a ‘very’ sick colon. I had been living a super high-stress lifestyle, not taking care of myself mentally or physically, eating junk food for most of my life and experiencing anxiety attacks.    

From the offset, I decided I wanted to take the natural route and found High Carb Health online. I knew very clearly that I wanted to live a full life where I wasn’t held back by UC or on multiple medications with horrible side effects for the rest of my life.    

After watching a few testimonials, I realised that these guys were the real deal, so I reached out and joined the programme pretty much straight away – this was the best decision I have ever made!   

I committed to seeing the process through – Of course, there were many ups and downs, but I had amazing weekly support and reassurance from Shukul throughout the entire process!   

Just under a year later, I became free of all symptoms and now live a life free of UC! I am just another story in the countless people who have reversed their condition – If it has been possible for myself and others, it’s possible for you too!

Hi everyone! In today's episode, we have the inspirational story of Nicole who was able to heal from Ulcerative Colitis. Nicole worked really hard to heal her body and was also able to heal some other issues which were plaguing her for a long time. We hope you enjoy the episode!

This is what Nicole had to say about her healing experience:

Hi, I'm Nicole - a New Yorker living in Germany.   

I was first diagnosed with a mild form of Ulcerative Colitis in November 2018 that escalated to severe exactly 1 year later. With a drive to prove doctors wrong, avoid a lifetime of toxic drugs and live a healthy and fulfilling life (with my colon), I was fortunate enough to find High Carb Health.  

With Shukul's weekly support, nutritional expertise and experience helping hundreds of others heal, I feel better than I’ve ever felt before. I’m now also proof that it’s possible to heal and reverse UC by nourishing your body with plant-based whole foods, hydrating with pure water, fueling with rest and applying a strong mindset. It takes discipline and is a long-term commitment, but it’s worth it. I've been medication-free for 5 months and counting.   

The testimonials from the brave people sharing their stories helped me throughout my healing journey and continue to serve as inspiration. As a private person, I have a newfound sense of responsibility to now share my experience with others since it’s difficult to find information on the natural solution. My transformation has inspired so many people around me to either significantly reduce or completely eliminate their intake of animal products and choose plant-based whole foods. It’s truly a one size fits all lifestyle.

Check out Declan's story on how he has been able to reverse Crohn's disease via a plant-based diet. He has been through so much and lost almost all his hair due to medications. This is a raw and real testimonial of someone who has really taken control of their health. He is so pleased with his progress he couldn't wait to share his story with everyone. Hope you guys can get something out of this and also heal your disease!

37 years old and life was full, fast and exciting when it took a sudden turn. Perhaps not so much a turn, but a sudden neck-breaking stop! I had begun the year in New York working a contract, then had a trip to India and was back in Ireland awaiting my transfer back to New York for more work when my body "failed me". As the months wore on and my job opportunity passed me by, I was now 37 years old; stuck on my parent's couch unable to function or live any form of life. The doctors, the bloods, the specialists, the colonoscopy's, more bloods, endoscopy's, diagnosis, misdiagnosis, MRI scans, more bloods, steroids, Pentasa and a feeling of achievement every time I could go for a short walk or meet a friend for an hour, life was unrecognizable. By the time I was diagnosed with Crohn's I was ecstatic. It proved I wasn't crazy. Oh, how ignorance is bliss.

Today's episode is an interview with Dr Shireen Kassam, a Consultant Haematologist and Founder/Director of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK. We covered a range of topics including the importance of plant-based diets and cancer as well as important things to look out for in blood test results. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Today's episode is an inspirational story about how Chris Scotti has been able to heal from Ulcerative Colitis. He is symptom and medication-free!

Free consultation: https://www.highcarbhealth.com/healthsurvey/

Here is what he had to say about his journey, working with High Carb Health:

Simply said, High Carb Health saved my life!  This is not an overstatement.  If it wasn't for their science and nutrition knowledge, emotional care and consistency that they provided to me, I wouldn't achieve the stellar health that I have now.  The healing that took place for me was much deeper than the physical part.  It integrated my experience into a lifestyle that has positively impacted my health. This experience has also made a difference in how I am connected to this natural world and knowing that I have a greater purpose. 

Dr Martin Luther King Jr stated, "Only in the darkness, can you see the stars.”  As I came through the other side to heal myself, the issues surrounding my health journey became more clear.  This has been MY problem for some time, and no one else was responsible for making it worse or fixing it.  It was up to me and having gained the information and experience, "I" now possessed the power from within to make this happen possible.  This is where High Carb Health was vital for me personally.  They gave me the tools necessary to make this happen and they were the support that was so needed during the process.  I was thankful to have Shukul's weekly meetings of encouragement and support, Shamiz's inspiring video posts, and the reinforcement from the healing testimonials of others. 

Through this entire journey, I consider myself a human being that lives on plants!  As the boys say, "I am thriving" in my health.  My colitis symptoms have been gone with no signs of it EVER coming back and I know that my body continues to heal deeper as I maintain the WFPB lifestyle and regimen.  I am eternally grateful for what High Carb Health has done with my life.  The information has been priceless.  I continue to pass this on to my family and others and see it come full circle.  When I go on walks with my dog, breathe in the fresh air, look into the natural landscape, I continue to be grateful for my new and healthy life and think to myself, "now this is' Bliss ``!  Thank you so much HCH!Chris Scotti
