Kurt's Story: Diverticulitis

Hi, I'm Kurt from NJ. I started working with Russell in March, 2010.

I remember being in the hospital after an attack of diverticulitis. The doctor told me not to worry and that my condition was treatable but I may have to come back to the hospital 3 to 4 times per year, for a week or so each time after an attack, and that I would most likely have a section of my colon removed eventually. They could not even tell me why this happened only that they needed to cut me open.

Thank God I found Russell when I did.

A week or so after I was out of the hospital I was on the phone with one of my clients named Jim and he asked me how things were going. Well, after I informed him what was going on with me, Jim told me I need to call a person he grew up with and knew to be a digestive health expert. 
That's how I found Russell.

I had been diagnosed with Acute Diverticulitis and suffered constant abdominal pain and very irregular bms with blood for some time. I had a constant burning sensation and was uncomfortable all the time and did not want to eat food because of it. I was losing my appetite.

For me it took about 6 months till I was totally better but I started to feel better about 2 weeks into Russell's program.  My program was a success on many levels and I have no more symptoms as long as I'm not insulting my digestive system.

I'm a 35 year old male and I work as a Landscape Designer and Manager and needless to say I sometimes worked 12-14 hour days and my food and meal times were not my top priorities for a long time. In working with Russell, I soon realized that I not only had to change what I was eating, but how I was eating and of course I had to stop eating late at night and a few other insulting habits.

I had to change many things but I will say I feel so much better as a result. The freedom I have in knowing things are good inside me is a great feeling.

I'm thankful that Jim put me in contact with Russell. His program has helped me to change my life for the better and really grasp an understanding of my own body. And if you really are true to yourself and follow his program you will see how your body can heal itself, without harsh drugs with major side-effects that make you sicker; at least that has been my experience.
