I received this email and knew I had to share this harrowing, remarkable healing story with you:
I was diagnosed with duodenal Crohn’s disease about 10 years ago. My story is one that you are probably all too familiar with, but I wanted to share with you what a difference Absorb Plus has made in my journey. I went from being a National Champion Ballroom Dancer to suffering from every ailment that Crohn’s had to offer; fistulas, extreme weight loss, erythema nodosum, crippling arthritis, fissures, bleeding, strictures, operations, blockages, rashes, etc.
My wife and I as National Ballroom Dance Champions
It turned me into a ghost of myself and almost killed me several times from going Septic via the TPN PICC lines I had to survive on for months. My sweet wife gave birth to our oldest son the day after I got out of the hospital. He was born 7 weeks early and had to spend weeks in the NICU from the stress that the disease put on my wife.
Me just before I was hospitalized for extreme malnutrition
I tried everything that the doctors gave me; from all the biological treatments available to chemotherapy (methotrexate) and everything in between. Steroids were the only thing that allowed me to walk, and so I spent several years trying to be the CEO of a venture-backed software company while raising a family and destroying my mind and body through the chronic use of steroids. I no longer recognized myself mind or body. I was angry and aggressive from the constant flow of synthetic cortisol through my body, and my face was swollen in the typical “moon-face” fashion.
This is what the steroids did to me
Eventually, my wife packed up me, with my cane, and our three boys, just two weeks after the birth of my youngest, and we moved to California to try medical Marijuana for my condition. This is where I first learned about Absorb Plus. We purchased some, but I didn’t begin to use it in earnest until the beginning of last year when I learned I would need another operation for stricturing in my intestines.
Since then, my whole life has changed! I began doing the Wim Hof Method with Cold exposure and breathing exercises. I began to change my mind and body through parts work, EMDR, Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. I began to resolve my past traumas and learn the science behind the autonomic nervous system. I am in complete remission of my disease for the first time since being diagnosed, and your resources along with Absorb Plus have played an integral part in my healing journey.
Me now!
Fast forward to today, and I am alive again, and I’ve learned that my mission in life is to help people in their health and healing journeys. I have become an Executive Health Coach to worldwide fortune 500 executives, consulting with them on achieving their optimal health and career goals. I also partner with venture capital companies that are recognizing more and more that their portfolio company founders and CEO’s are getting sick mentally and physically (even though you and I know that you cannot separate mental and physical!) and they need support.
I still use Absorb Plus daily and tell my executives that are having IBD symptoms (whether diagnosed or not) how to find and use your amazing product. As I am sure you know, many of them are dealing with autoimmune conditions, and the science points to the fact that it all starts in the gut. Absorb Plus can help so many people dealing with autoimmunity in one form or another. Thank you!!

I’m grateful to Chase for allowing me to share his email with all of you. It is such a testimony of perseverance, hope, and HOLISTIC healing! Please take notice of all the emotional/psychological/spiritual healing methods he employed, and how crucial they were to his healing. If you haven’t delved into this aspect, a free acupressure tapping session with me is a good place to start!
Also, be sure and check out Chase’s podcast as he features a lot of helpful topics and encouragement for the healing journey.
Who knew that when I first formulated Absorb Plus over 24 years ago (to heal myself!) that it would become such a powerful source of healing for so many others. We are all connected. My healing is your healing is my healing is your healing… in a continual circle. What separates us is trauma – fear stems from trauma, dissociation (not being inside your body) stems from trauma, feeling alone, not feeling safe – all stem from trauma. We come together to heal – mind/body/spirit. Let’s keep sharing our stories! Much love xoxo
Wow! I love this!
Me too, blessings!
Patsy, your comment is so sweet! We have an entire section of the blog with inspiring reader stories you may want to check out: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/category/reader-stories/
Enjoy!
Awesome! Jini please share more of these ~ stories sharing the hope of healing!
I was diagnosed about 6 years ago with Crohn’s, fissures and fistula. I discovered your work the first year and immediately began to adopt as many changes as possible, especially in a more specified eating plan, EFT, meditation, wild oil of oregano and Absorb Plus. I went on Remecaid (after much prayer) as a God-sent alternative to the surgery discussed (!!!). My health has improved tremendously since then, but I would like to be free of the Remecaid completely. I am still about 15 pounds underweight and tire easily (but I am also in my 70’s and I thank God for the health and strength I have!). I agree with Chase that Absorb Plus is a wonder product that has helped with healthy nourishment and digestion. I have tried parts of the Protocol which have helped, but not committed to a strict regimen.
Please keep informing us! Barbara
Barbara, your story is inspiring! It sounds like you have definitely put in the ‘work’ so to speak – incredible!
You could consider working with either Dane Johnson at CCLifestyle or Dr. Juliet (Jini’s doctor) as they both work with medications and natural remedies synergistically to the needs of the patient. They may offer more guidance on what you are looking to do for getting off medication – as they both experienced and healed from Crohn’s themselves! Here is more info: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/private-health-consults/
And here is a really nice post on how to use Absorb Plus to gain weight: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/how-to-gain-weight-using-absorb-plus/

Keep up the amazing work, and I hope you get to where you want to be! 🙂
Such a courageous and inspiring story. Thank you.
When I began my journey to try to learn why I had Crohn’s it lead me to others who had received a 3-part hepatitis vaccine, which I had done just prior to the start of my life with this debilitating disease. It was indeed a wake-up call but it took me 30 years to figure this out. We’ve all been deeply brainwashed since birth to think these things are good and without problems – nothing could be further from the truth, and now anyone thinking contrary to this sham is vilified. I’ve also been on all those drugs – from the $5 prescription bottle of steroids to the $5000/mo biologicals yet, like this man, only the steroids worked for me and sometimes they didn’t either. I was always acutely aware of the side effects but now I also realize (after seeing how truly evil the pharma companies can be through this pandemic) that this cheap drug may have also been scourged since it’s not a big money-maker to the crones at the top. Jini has some good info on vaccines here as well.
I am super grateful for Jini’s information that she so generously shares on her site and have shared this with many others. No more colonoscopies for me either and yet what a fight ensues when you tell this to your well-meaning doctor. My body, my choice, or so it used to be. Being your own advocate of your health is the start; the medical system is not interested in healing.
I can’t dismiss the fantastic result I have also had with medical cannabis in quelling the pain of a flare. Not even morphine comes close and it also helps your mood and calms your body and a dose of the giggles as a side effect is pretty harmless. How can that be wrong and yet these same money-grabbing perps decided back in the 1920’s to ban this fantastic, God-given herb so that all of humanity could not benefit (look up reefer madness to get the history – it’s the same people involved in this mess now) from its healing effects.
There are many helpful things one can do for your Crohn’s. The best info is on this site. A big thank you to all involved here.
Wow, what a journey you’ve been on as well! Though I will say, I am very happy you found Jini and that this story resonated with you. We have an entire section of Reader Stories on the blog if you’re looking for more inspiration. 🙂 Here it is: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/category/reader-stories/
Dear Linsy,
Many thanks for your quick and encouraging response, and all the great references. Will Do Immediately!
Jini’s guidance and wisdom is priceless, the truthful facts, and the blog with reader stories sharing experiences is something I knew I (and others dealing with gut issues) would need immediately, way back 5-6 years ago when they gave that diagnosis. Hospitals that treat any gut ailments should always offer support groups. …Maybe in the future. But Jini put her work out there years ago and has not ceased continuing to teach, inform, encourage and connect us to each other for healing. Bravo! God Bless her and all of you on the LTYG Team.
Barbara
Hi Barbara! You have such a lovely point of view! Readers like you are so wonderful to connect with! 🙂
It would be so nice if hospitals offered emotional support, but either way, I am so happy you found LTYG and what we can offer here.
Reach out with any questions, and I look forward to hearing the rest of your gut journey!
Take care!

Hi, Iam Shirin from India. My son now 14 yrs was diagnosed with chrons disease A1L1B1 last year. His major symptoms were severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting 2 to 3 hours after having a meal.He was initially on prednisolone for 3 months and then mesalamine for the rest of the months. He was feeling good for about a year. But in between even while taking mesalamine he had the symptoms like once in 2 or 3 months but the symptoms were mild, not severe. After a year again he got severe symptoms of abdominal pain and vomiting. Then he was admitted into hospital last month and the doctors said that he is having a intestinal obstruction which may need a surgery anytime. They inserted a naso gastric tube for 2 days followed by iv steroids prednisolone and then by God’s grace the abdominal pain subsided and the next day he was able to tolerate some liquids and then he was discharged from the hospital. Now he is on oral prednisolone 40 mg per day. Even now the pain is on and off. He is completed scared to have food because of the pain. The major concern is whenever he had the symptoms i use to make him starve or fast for 24 to 48 hourse without even a sip of water which makes the pain come back. Please guide me regarding which protocol to follow.
