We have a farm in Kentucky and over the years we have had several customers with CD completely healed. Although I feel like Jordan Rubin has veered from his original mission due to the marketing success his first book, The Maker's Diet was very good and I have seen first hand how miraculous the human body is in it's ability to heal. I had a man with the worst case of CD write out what he felt helped the best. I would more than happy to share it with you if you would like to contact me. You can read about our farm at www.rivercottagefarm.net and my email address and phone number are available there. <br /><br />All the Best<br /><br />Debbie AppleDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689666908293831178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-92213787425100371412012-08-29T22:43:17.011+10:002012-08-29T22:43:17.011+10:00awwww thank you so much for your lovely comment, y...awwww thank you so much for your lovely comment, you've made me feel so good about myself xo<br /><br />I'm so inspired by my son - he is handling it all so well, he knows what Crohn's is, and why his "small intestine" is not well, honesty goes a long way with kids xoxoFarmers Wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108216621628520756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-71830578812497822292012-08-29T11:11:51.345+10:002012-08-29T11:11:51.345+10:00I don't cry very often at blogs but today I ha...I don't cry very often at blogs but today I have.

I know that it could be worse, but this is huge for you and your son and family. I know that you will be his advocate, his strength when he needs it and all this is because you are a great mum. It is hard when it is our kids, we as mothers so want only good things for them.

The friends could be surprisingly supportive, just as you are.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-54904617511216469942012-08-26T16:46:06.985+10:002012-08-26T16:46:06.985+10:00Oh I am so sorry Michelle.
