Hey friends, S:^D (Warning: if you're queasy even thinking about Ulcerative Colitis, stop here.) By the time those attending the big Konvention in Toronto first saw me in person, you'd already missed the worst years of my bout with Ulcerative Colitis. But trust me, in early 2003, I couldn't leave the house without two pairs of Depends and several prayers. This week, after having slacked from my tried-and-proven methods of keeping my health in check, I pushed myself to get chomping at the bit once again and do the things to get me healthy again. During this time, something was telling me to start blogging, posting, doing _something_ online to share how I was able to get myself healthy again without surgery. Tonight, I checked the word regarding Ulcerative Colitis on YouTube, I was _shocked_ to find out that people were strongly disapproving of comments suggesting that _diet_ may have an effect on UC. You guys know that I rarely tout myself in this fashion, but I know that I'm living proof that diet _does_ have an effect on mine. For those who want to start talking about it, you can check my first personally-made video on YouTube: "Conquering Ulcerative Colitis WITHOUT SURGERY : Prologue". It's unrehearsed, unscripted, and entirely train-of-thought (except for the location of shooting). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yeUcuiRC1E My apologies to those who have taken offense to this message... To others who know someone suffering from UC or Crohn's, feel free to pass this on. Thanks, S:^D Glen (aka Barney Rubble)
