Larry's Story: Ulcerative Colitis
4 years ago, I started to have a bout of indigestion that wouldn’t go away. Within 4 days of having loose bowel movements, I would have to go to the bathroom like every 5 minutes with extreme urgency. I could barely sleep through the night because my lower back was so inflamed and the only thing that seemed to relieve it momentarily was to go to the bathroom. After a week of this and not getting better, I went to the doctor. The doctor thought it was the flu or something and gave me antibiotics and steroids. The steroids helped for a week while I took them, but after I stopped taking the steroids, diarrhea resumed. Then, I started taking Pepto-Bismol all day, every 30 minutes. The Pepto helped slow things down to a few movements with urgency a day, but at least I could go to work. I did this for about a month before realizing what was really going on. I had Colitis. I felt like such an idiot because the crazy thing is, my wife has-had Ulcerative Colitis. She developed hers when she was pregnant about 7 years ago. I couldn’t believe that I had Colitis too. I thought, what are the chances?
I won’t go into her story (because you can read about it on this website. My wife is Lisa from Los Angeles) however I will tell you that it took a long time and she endured a lot of pain before she found Russell and started working with him. I witnessed all the progress she made. It was miraculous. So, when I finally realized what was going on with me, I started following Russell’s program on my own and it worked. Within 2 days I was regular and within 3 weeks I felt confident to resume my diet and life as it had been before getting sick with just one difference: I didn’t eat fried foods.
For the next 3 years I pretty much did the same thing, with loose movements here and there. I would get the occasional flare up and go back on Russell’s program or at least my version of it. After a few weeks, I’d be back to normal.
Then, I had a flare up again in the fall of 2017 and I went back on the IF2 (a specialized herbal product). This time however, I couldn’t get off the IF2. Within 2 days of going off the IF2, I would fall back into a pattern of diarrhea all day. So I went back on the IF2 and eliminated a few other things and did it again. Repeat, repeat. It wasn’t working.
My wife kept telling me; “Just Call Russell!” I didn’t call because I thought I could do it on my own. Story of my life. It wasn’t working. I couldn’t do it on my own. I finally broke down and made the call.
This time, with Russell’s step-by-step guidance, I really did the full program correctly. Before I wasn’t doing all of it, I was picking and choosing and doing the minimum. This time around, I felt different. Way better. More energy and less inflammation in my body. While this continued for several weeks, the main worry was whether or not I would be able to get off the IF2. Sure enough, I did.
I started working directly with Russell in January, 2018. I am writing this testimonial in July, 2018. I’ve been symptom-free and feeling great for several months. I’ve had a lot of time to think about my experience and to think about what I would like to say to people who may be currently suffering and also considering Russell’s program. Here’s my take on my experience:
The program is no joke. It’s a lot of work at first. You have to drink a ton of water so you need to be able to visit a bathroom regularly. I’m in sales and I work in the field a lot so this took some effort. Thank God for Starbucks. Also, I am 6’2’ and about 200 pounds. I eat a lot of food. With a diet consisting mainly of rice and vegetables, my stomach requires a ton of veggies to be full. Preparing all the vegetables requires a lot of time. I eat a ton of them at meals and it takes a while to eat meals because of all the chewing. Plus, you have to remember to take your supplements on time and keep a journal and send email reports. Then there’s the $$; buying supplements and paying Russell’s consultant fee.
On the other hand, all this stuff is nothing when you think about the return on your investment. I went from uncontrollable diarrhea every 5 minutes with no cure in sight and a bunch of nonsense treatments from doctors (not that I disdain Western Medicine there’s a lot of good stuff there too but they don’t have a clue what they are doing with this colitis condition) to regular normal bowel movements and feeling great with a ton of energy. And when you factor all that together, the effort to get healthy with Russell’s program seems miniscule. Even more so, the cost that felt sizable at the beginning felt like pennies later. The feeling I have of being healthy and knowing how to stay healthy after all the pain I experienced; is priceless. I’d pay 20x’s the cost to get this feeling!
Don’t have too much pride like I did. Save yourself a ton of time and pain. Call Russell. Do exactly what he says and all will be well and soon enough you’ll be writing a testimonial like mine.
