Conquer Crohn's: Practical manual for Crohn's patients

By Fredrik Veneman

Most people think: Crohn's is a chronic disease and there is nothing you can do about it. 

Well, l am happy to tell you that a lot that can be done about Crohn’s, and that's why I wrote this manual. It contains practical information and methods aimed at reducing symptoms. In my case symptoms reduced to zero.

Dear Crohn colleague,

You might feel miserable and fatigued and maybe you just have just dropped yourself on the couch. Returned from another nasty bowel movement. With every defecation you feel the your forces flowing out of your body and you are unable to function normally. Or maybe you are lying in bed with internal cramps and pains. You are reluctant to make another race to the toilet but you need to. You maybe have pain in all your joints and limbs. You have lost so much weight and almost all physical and mental strength has left you. Perhaps you have been in pain for weeks now, glued to bed, couch and toilet. Maybe you are just at the start of your shitty Crohn career or you already have years of experience with Crohn’s. 

It doesnot really matter what stage of illness you are in: You have Crohn’s. You constantly wonder how it came this far and you want to return to your old comfortable life without having to think where and how far away the toilet is. 

How can you function normally again? 

Well, I wrote that down in this manual. Conquer Crohn's as I did. 

Dear family and friends of the patient, 

Perhaps you are a relative or a close acquaintance of the patient and you are looking for a way out of this nightmare. The fact is that the patient himself is in a miserable position, but Crohn’s has a considerable influence on the family and environment of the patient. Especially when the patient is young and depressed due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The impact on loved ones is then even bigger. Suddenly there is a child or parent, friend or acquaintance who has Crohn’s and needs extra care and attention. And there is no improvement in sight. Crohn’s is, after all, chronic and there is nothing you can do about it..people think.

Well, there is a lot that can be done to improve the patients health status. That is what this manual is all about.

1. DEAR CROHN’S COLLEAGUE,

This manual is intended to help fellow Crohn's patients to lead a healthy life without health complaints. With a normal bowel movement and, for that matter, a normal life. It contains practical methods, based on my personal experiences, and helps you to get out of the flare in short term and to become complaint-free.

Crohn’s can be conquered by applying some very basic and in modern times often forgotten techniques. Combined with a diet based on what your body needs in vitamins and minerals. I cook almost all of my daily meals myself. These meals are based on fresh, honest and real food that I have selected for a positive effect on Crohn's.

The methods described in this manual have already been successfully applied by other Crohn's patients whom I have personally and intensively supervised, based on my experiences. I hereby expressly state that these Crohn's colleagues were under control of an independent doctor while applying these methods. You will understand that I cannot take responsibility for your state of health. Applying the methods in this book is entirely at your own risk.

Of course I cannot guarantee success for everyone, Crohn's has its own effect on every individual, and complaints vary from person to person. But I am convinced that significant improvement is possible, provided that the self-discipline is practiced to apply the techniques and healthy lifestyle described in this booklet.

Good luck applying and wishing you a healthy life!

2. ABOUT ME,THE CROHNIST

I am a Dutchman, 44 years old and a Crohn's patient with more than 20 years of experience to keep my Crohn's under constant control. I am a so called personal experience expert and I am, after a long, difficult and sometimes painful path of experiencing and researching what has positive influences on Crohn's, completely free of complaints. Without any medication.

The first years of the disease were very intense. From a healthy youngster in my twenties I turned into a skinny, sick and very depressed skeleton that could hardly move or walk because of inflammation. I had inflammation in my intestines as well as in all my joints. I had to be carried over shorter distances and lifted in to bed. In fact, I was just one stumbling inflamed heap of misery.

I lost 25 kilos, a third of my normal weight. I was skin and bones. To make matters worse, my relationship stranded in the middle of this crisis, partly as a result of this illness. I have experienced this as a very traumatic period, in which my overall situation and especially my mental condition deteriorated to such an extent that I was ready to die at some point. This acute phase lasted approximately 2 years.

Medication was still limited to Prednisone in the 90's of the last century , which is merely an anti-inflammatory agent. It doesn't contribute anything to the healing process. There were no special Crohn's medicines available back then..
