Interestingly, in one of those YouTube twists of, "how did I end up here?" I came across both these videos telling the visually beautiful stories of women whose bodies and nervous systems simply shut down. Both had versions of Fibromyalgia and other debilitating health issues. As you watch this first video, I'd like you to [...]

One of my lovely readers in Ghana has no access to commercial wild oregano oil, however she does have access to fresh wild oregano leaves - awesome! Professional manufacturers use either steam distillation or cold-pressing methods to extract the highest quality, most potent oregano oil from the leaves, which requires specialized equipment. But there are [...]

When a doctor makes a statement that an amino acid - found in most protein foods (seafood, meat, milk, eggs) and many veggies - feeds cancer... commonsense dictates that there's likely a more complex, multi-factorial, interdependent sequence happening, and perhaps another mechanism or two, or three, going on. The reductionist thinking of pharma-care trains people [...]
Join Jini and me (her assistant Savannah) as we discuss the ways you can use Wild Oregano Oil as a powerful anti-pathogen, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and more! This video was shot on-location at Jini's barn, so she can show us how she uses Wild Oregano Oil (WOO) on her herd of 11 horses - as [...]
We recently received a question from a reader which we wanted to address here on the blog - as it's a good one! The question was whether honey is elemental (monosaccharide only), and if it can be used when on a fully elemental diet. Well, the answer is actually...NO! When taking a look at a comprehensive [...]
Let's talk about Colloidal silver! Just like wild oregano oil, there are SO many uses for this anti-pathogen agent. This is due to colloidal and nano-sized silver being antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial - a triple whammy! The silver ion (Ag+) is bioactive, and in sufficient concentration readily kills bacteria in vitro. Silver also kills bacteria [...]
My Journey to Healing Ulcerative Colitis My name is Linsy, and this is my story of living with IBD and finding my way to healing.

"I remember the first time my doctor insisted I have surgery. This was before the internet (so I had no way of researching on my own), and I asked my GI for some more information. He loaded me up with a stack of textbooks and his research reports, and you bet I took it home [...]
This is a FANTASTIC example of using a half-elemental diet to provide bowel rest and heal an abdominal abscess and fistula. Remember, not everyone needs to go on a full-elemental diet (or has time, or can afford it!). There have been studies of the benefits of a half-elemental diet - but I suggest if you [...]
When I first wrote about the dangers of ingesting bacterial soil organisms (also known as HSO’s, SO’s, SBO’s, or shelf-stable probiotics) back in 2008, some claimed the information from Natasha Trenev was not valid (Natasha founded Natren, which is a probiotic manufacturer). So I copied my original article with the research references, and posted it [...]
You may remember an old blog post about our friends over at LotusWei who started a podcast called Flowerlounge - and featured me as a guest on their 2nd episode! Well, now they are at a whopping episode 162, and this is an episode I just had to share with you. It is SO GOOD!! [...]
We often receive emails and messages from readers who simply cannot afford the cost of Absorb Plus. Remember, that to go on a completely elemental diet (to provide bowel rest) most people need to consume between 4 - 7 servings per day - and that adds up VERY quickly! Then there is the cost of [...]
Is it helpful to use an infrared sauna if you have Crohn's or Colitis? YES. The only caveat is if you are malnourished/underweight, then you should only do 5-10 minutes at a time, as it can result in weight loss. Most naturopathic clinics have infrared saunas that you can pay to use, but of course [...]
I recently received this email from a reader (we will call her Alicia) who had just finished 6 weeks on the IBD Remission Diet - and her results are amazing! It reads: I did your IBD remission diet for six weeks. I followed every single instruction from your book. Before that, I had inflammation and [...]

Children are usually more susceptible to nosebleeds than adults, but what are the treatments for them? I'm not referring to a nosebleed caused by a sharp blow to the nose - we all know why those occur. I'm talking about nosebleeds that occur when you have not sustained any injury to your nose, or perhaps [...]
One of my favorite bits from this video is when Dane says, "Every single person on here has the ability to be a leader for their community and live their best lives ever - BECAUSE of their pain! You're now listening to two who went through some of the worst pain. That's why we're here! [...]

He tells us which flavors are his favorites, and which he could live without. As the formulator of [...]
Ohmygosh, this conversation was so much fun - if you've watched any of my other videos with Dane Johnson, you'll know that we always have a blast on our calls. Dane asks me how long I've been drug and surgery-free AND how long I've been 100% symptom-free? Those of you who know me, know [...]
This is a question I've been wanting to provide a good solution for, for a LONG time: I'm ready to come off the elemental diet (IBD Remission Diet) but I'm not ready to be completely on solid foods yet, what should I do? So here's the thing: Absorb Plus is an expensive product, because it [...]
I have had MANY readers write in regarding their SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) with the same issue - "I did the SIBO treatment, I was fine, but it keeps coming back!!" You may have heard this before, as I've mentioned numerous times throughout my blog and books/protocols that healing needs to encompass the mind/body/spirit [...]
Gaining weight when you're underweight, or malnourished can be as challenging as losing weight when you're obese! The important point for weight gain though, is that you don't want to gain unhealthy fat, you want to gain strong, healthy muscle. The best way to do this is by eating nutrient-dense, healthy, yet tasty foods. If, [...]
What is Helicobactor Pylori? Helicobactor Pylori (or H. Pylori) is a bacteria often found in the stomach, as it can enter your body and live in your digestive tract for years. This can lead to painful sores, or ulcers, in the lining of your stomach and intestines. Over a long period of time, it may [...]
For a few months now, I've had many people write in asking if George's Aloe Vera is suitable for making your own DIY hand sanitizer. Well, the answer is yes - however, actually washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the BEST way to go! That being said, sometimes [...]
When you're trying to figure out what caused your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you may be looking for just one trigger, or defining event. However, neither dis-ease, nor healing is usually that simple. Let's go through a bit of a process here - stay with me, it's useful, I promise - and then we'll get [...]
It's difficult for the body to adjust to a completely new food source (liquid, pre-digested) so expect an adjustment phase when you begin an elemental diet. At the same time, you need to be alert for signs of intolerance. Unfortunately, although no one wants to hear this, those two things can look/feel the same. "My [...]

I've received a lot of spontaneous thank-you emails and letters over the years, but this is the first video thank-you I've received! Francine first connected with me on Facebook and then sent over this lovely video testimonial about how my books helped both of her kids over the last decade. Seriously, it doesn't get any [...]
Many people with IBD and IBS are also on prescription antidepressants, either prior to their intestinal diagnosis, or, because of it! Sometimes it's overwhelmingly difficult to deal with the restrictions a serious or chronic illness places on your life, your relationships, your desires, your body, your plans, etc, Unless you are suffering from chronic depression [...]
A self-administered colonic massage can really help if you’re experiencing constipation, blockages in thickened areas of your colon, or blockages in diverticulae (hollow pouches that occur when the inner intestinal lining has pushed through weakened areas of the colon wall), where food is getting stuck and causing a lot of pain. To treat diverticulitis blockages, [...]
You may numb your feelings to protect yourself, but in actuality you're just driving your pain deeper into your physical body. EFT expert Annabel Fisher interviews me (Jini Patel Thompson) on her radio show, and we discuss how moving out of numbing and into courageous vulnerability is the beginning of root-level healing for both your [...]
Back when I had Crohn's Disease (a few decades ago) one of my most prevalent symptoms was diarrhea. I had loose, multiple bowel movements for years - it was one of my last symptoms to heal. So imagine my surprise when I turned 40 and experienced constipation for the first time ever. Which was further [...]
I just had to post this account from Jay Baluk (a.k.a. The Gut Ninja, and formerly known as CROHNSBOY) who tried Jini's Probiotic Retention Enema. I love Jay because he's SO candid and honest and blunt, and the photo on his post alone is so funny I just had to point you to it! But, WARNING: [...]

Now with new flu bugs every season, you might want to have some self-treatment, natural tools in your toolkit. So, I'm going to share with you what I do, that [...]
We often receive this question from our readers: Should I add oil to my Absorb Plus shakes? What exactly are the benefits? Will it still be considered elemental? Cold-pressed oils are all compatible with the elemental diet, but look for one that is high in omega-3‘s for the anti-inflammatory effect. Most of the fat we [...]

Many of you have already downloaded my free Colonoscopy eBook - so you know about the dangers of unsterilized cameras and the 'side-effects' of Gluteraldehyde - but a real-life story like this can really drive home the risks. This is a patient from the Goldberg Tener Clinic (who I often refer people to for help) [...]
The most common question we receive about Wild Oregano Oil is whether or not you can use it along with probiotics - and the answer is yes! However, you'll want to make sure there are at least 2 hours between taking the wild oregano oil and the probiotics. I have compiled some links below to [...]
