The Maker's Diet - Jordan Rubin. Best book ever! - Crohns Disease Forum - Support group and forum for IBD, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease

I highly recommend this book. I also offers an incredible diet that might change your life and even cure you.

This book is about a guy that suffered from crohns to the point that he almost died. He later found the cure in the "Maker's Diet" in which he later explains. He also became a nutritionist/doctors with a few degrees and is able to give the reader a more insighful explanation of things (to avoid, implement in your life, etc).

highly recommend it!!!

Hey Karma - read it last week....mmm, taking some of it to heart. I am a Christian and did find some of his references to the Bible pretty interesting. The parts about what meat NOT to eat was spot on - just never thought about it that way before. I have ordered the Raw One vitamins and so far, I'm having great success with them. Normally any vitamin I take just tears my gut up, but I seem to be tolerating them well - no fillers in them may be why. Here is a thread I started a week or so ago.

Jordan Rubin is a charlatan of the worst kind. Ponzi schemers, insider traders and garden variety con men prove the adage that there's a sucker born every minute, but snake oil salesmen take it a whole other (low) level. They prey on the desperation of the sick, frail and often financially strapped.

Rubin has bogus degrees and has been substantially fined and told to cease and desist by federal authorities over his spurious claims. None of which can bear the scrutiny of clinical trials.

His schtick is all wrapped up in feel-good jargon -- part New Age self-empowerment with selective religious references.

Of course he has a whole range of merchandise. Guy doesn't miss a trick.

I think he's a scumbag.

I hope the bill currently before my House of Parliament passes, and puts guys like Jordan Rubin not only out of business but behind bars.

Wow, I don't like the sound of that. Don't think I'd touch him with a mucky stick.

I have a hard time "Placing Faith" in a guy who bought a PH.D through the mail for $60.
