Switching to a plant-based diet has been shown to achieve far better results than reported in traditional treatments in both the active and resting stages of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis.
Important to understanding and preventing the global rise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is that “dietary fiber reduces risk and increases dietary fat, animal protein and sugar.” “Despite the perception of Westernization of lifestyles as a major driver of the increasing incidence of IBD, patients with Crohn’s disease should not smoke.”
“Consuming an entire plant-based food is synonymous with an anti-inflammatory diet,” we know. A list of foods with inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects is shown here at 0:50 in my video, the best diet for Crohn’s disease.
How about putting a plant-based diet on tests?
We couldn’t cut down the red and processed meat, but how about cutting down all the meat? “Using a newly diagnosed CD, he was unable to enter clinical remission despite standard medical therapy. After switching to a grain-based diet (beans, schizophrenia, chicks, lentils, vegetables and fruits), he entered clinical remission without the need for medication and showed no signs of CD.”
It’s worth digging into some details. The traditional treatment he started is inflixib, sold as Remicade®, which can cause strokes and increase the chances of lymphoma or other cancers. (It also costs $35,000 a year.) It may not work for 35-40% of patients, and that applies to 25-year-old men. So, his dose increased after 37 weeks, but he was still suffering from the drug after two years. He then completely eliminated animal products, processed food from the diet, and eventually experienced the full resolution of his symptoms.
“Before this, his diet was a typical American diet consisting of meat, dairy products, refined grains, processed foods, and gentle amounts of vegetables and fruits. Having experienced full clinical remission for the first time since the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease, the patient decided to switch between whole food, plant-based diets forever. Whenever his diet slipped, his symptoms began to return, but he was able to eliminate them all by eating healthily again. After following up, following up “Demonstrating a complete mucosal healing without visible evidence of Crohn’s disease (intestinal lining).”
“A diet consisting of whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables has been shown to help prevent and treat heart disease, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hypertension, rheumatic arthritis, and many cancers. Further research is needed, but this case report may be added to the disease in this case.” That further research is already underway! Approximately 20 patients with Crohn’s disease consumed more than half of the meat fish once a week, and at least half of the meat fish once every two weeks, achieving 100% in one year and 90% in two years.
However, some were confused about the food. What happened to them? As shown below and at 3:32 in my video, one year later, half of them recurred, and only 20% remained in remission in their second year. However, those who stuck to the semi-beg diet have achieved amazing success. This was a small study without a formal control group, but represents the most reported results to date in preventing recurrence of clones published in the medical literature.
Today, cloned patients are often treated with so-called biological drugs, expensive injectable antibodies that suppress the immune system. They have effectively induced and maintained remission in Crohn’s disease, but not for everyone. Crohn’s current remission rate uses Remicade® early. Therefore, 30-40% of patients are “highly likely to experience a course of disordered disease after initial treatment.” How about adding a plant-based diet? Remission rates increased 100% for those who do not need to drop out due to drug side effects. Even after excluding mild cases, the researchers found that 100% of those who were serious, and even “severe/fulminant disease, achieved remission,” achieved remission.
Looking at a systematic review of Gold Standard, we conclude that the effects of dietary interventions on inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) are uncertain. However, this is because only randomized controlled trials were considered. It is completely understandable as it is the most rigorous research design. “Nevertheless, people with IBD deserve advice based on the “best evidence available” rather than without advice at all…” And it has been shown that a switch to a plant-based diet achieves “a lot better results” than reported with traditional treatments in both the active and stationary stages of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. For example, in my video, half elemental diet (64%), such as one-year remission rate for Crohn’s disease (100%), immunosuppressant corticosteroid drugs (30-40%), home tube feeding (64%), $35,000-A year drug digade® (46%), or $35,000-A year drugs (64%), percent.
It’s safer, cheaper and more effective. This is why some researchers have made “recommendations for plant-based diets for inflammatory bowel disease.”
It is clear that treatment based on addressing the cause of the disease is best. Spreading the word about healthier diets could help stop the tragedy of inflammatory bowel disease, but how do people hear about this amazing study without some public education campaign?

My previous clone videos include dietary prevention of Crohn’s disease, and do nutritional yeasts cause Crohn’s disease?
