Let me give you a story of a man that came to our health retreat with his wife.
I said, "How many bowel movements do you average a day?" because I did a health
assessment on him. He said, "Six." I said, "Oh, that's a lot." He said, "Yes,
I've got irritable bowel." I said, "Oh, are you on medication?" "Yes." And he
listed the anti-inflammatories and the cortisones. He said, "Yes, recently the
doctor said I can do no more for you." And then I looked at what he ate. He
loved bread, he loved meat, he loved dairy and he loved sugar and he loved a
couple of scotches every night. When you're healing an irritated gut, this is
what you've got to do. Number one, stop all the irritants. All of these foods
are like kerosene to an irritated gut. I said, "Can I try some things on you?"
He said, "Certainly." Now we don't serve any wheat or dairy or refined sugar or
alcohol at our health retreat. You've probably noticed. I gave him slippery on
four times a day and I gave him a double dose of probiotic. You see, he told me
he walks by the beach every morning and where he walks, there are four restrooms
on his walk. He's got to because he's got to keep going in. By Friday, he's
going three times a day. That's exciting. And formed. The bleeding from the
bowel had stopped. The cramping had stopped. "This is on medication all that was
happening." On Sunday morning, he came running up to me very excited. He said,
"I just went on my morning walk and didn't go." Oh, how exciting. Because of the
results he was getting, he was very interested. Because what has his doctor just
told him? "I can do no more for you."
