Michael Hohlweg

My name is Mike Hohlweg and I have been researching digestive disorders like Crohn's, colitis, and diverticulitis for over 20 years. I have authored 9 original books on nearly every modern digestive disorder. Regarding my books, I always offer a 100%, no conditions, no questions asked, money back guarantee. In a field where refunds for other authors average 9% to 33%, my refund rate averages under 1%. This is not due to anything other than completely satisfied clients who tell my daughter and I daily that my programs work for adults, youth, senior citizens, and children (certainly not all children respond but our percentages are higher than any other methodology that we have ever heard of). If you are wondering if those "satisfaction" numbers are based on 20 or 100 customers, the truth is that before coming to Amazon we have helped over 20,000 customers through these diseases. Our customers include those who have had their colon or gallbladder removed or were about to submit to those operations, as well as very chronic cases who were without hope. While nothing works for everyone, I believe my unique research, programs, and theories, regarding the cause of these diseases are not only easy to follow but so effective that my readers are, simply put: happy, healthy, and most importantly, symptom free in a few weeks or months depending on their willingness to follow a simple program. This is not a part time endeavor for my daughter Rachel and I. We are tireless in researching and translating valid research into strategies and techniques to help our clients. My research into toxic food mixes has been used all over the world under a term I coined: "Catalyst Foods." Because we have gone the extra mile and have such an extensive customer base including various forms of these diseases we are in a position to help more "types" of digestive disorders than anyone we know of. As an example, in regard to colitis alone we have helped people with ulcerative, ischemic, lymphocytic, microscopic (usually lymphocytic or ischemic), and collagenous versions. We (my daughter and I) are not doctors and therefore do not give medical advice, which includes advice regarding your medications or doctor's care. Instead we give research based information and counsel to help you become symptom free using our strategies and sometimes our non-prescription supplements such as an herbal tea. Our programs are not supplement based and about 80% of our clients need no supplementation at all. Supplements are not to heal or cure, they simply mitigate symptoms for comfort and relief during the improvement process. They are used at your discretion. We advise you to use our program with the approval of your doctor and in conjunction with his/her advice. The digestive disorder diet that is the greatest failure of our time is also the most popular. It is called the Mayo Clinic Diverticulitis Diet (also for colitis and Crohn's) and has been used by many millions of people without a single person healed or cured after using it (if you doubt this fact, go to their own website and read it from their own "lips:" http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diverticulitis-diet/my00736). There are countless books and a few websites for digestive disorders. One difference between those sellers and us is that nearly every method out there is a complete failure. Some books and diet programs simply give recipes and eating methods that are just a type of "avoid seeds and spicy foods" common sense diet which is really just a method of taking your money. We teach you how to eat, what to eat, what to mix in a meal, and what not to eat. Another thing that separates us from other programs is that through our website users have access to an extensive video series, where I personally coach you step by step, in over 100 videos, where I answer question after question. How do you know these videos will answer your question? Unlike some authors who are "Amazon only" authors who won't talk to you, have no video coaching and have sold a few or few hundred copies of their book, we take people all the way through the process with an unbelievable amount of knowledge, research, and video coaching. This is nothing like the typical books by the typical authors. The Pain Free Foods program has been my full time occupation for over 7 years. The program took 4 years of development before our first formal test of 25 diverticulitis sufferers. 23 of the 25 people reported great results and since then, I have been off and running. The program has evolved in a way that no other program could possibly accomplish. Because we work personally with thousands of clients with Crohn's, colitis, and diverticulitis, we get feedback on almost everything you can imagine. We have learned how the program can help with weight loss, lower blood sugar levels in diabetics, help with arthritis and other joint pain, and help a whole family feel more healthy and have more energy. We have learned several new "Trigger Foods" (foods that cause more acid production and lead to flare ups) that we may never have found without client feedback. We developed an extensive recipe collection with the help of customer ideas. We have even created a support group where people with Crohn's, colitis, and diverticulitis can go to network, ask questions, and encourage each other. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1446179358988282/) The reason this program is my life's work is because I know what its like to be in pain, miss out on events with your family, fear leaving the safety of your own home (bathroom) or eating the wrong food. You shouldn't have to live that way, and now, I've found a way to prevent anyone from being a slave to colitis, diverticulitis, or Crohn's again. Below we are listing just a few of the testimonials we have gotten recently from clients on our program. Anita Two weeks good I have been suffering for two years I know others have suffered longer. I thank God I found your website :) Have a blessed Holiday season. I am sure I’ll have more questions. Thank you for responding so promptly. Respectfully yours, Anita Deb Good morning, Mike: First let me say that your 50 step information has been a god send to me. I purchased your book (and the online edition so I could have access to it everywhere and anywhere I might go) while I was in the throes of one of the worst diverticuloses attacks I’ve had in years. I truly thought I would have to be admitted to the ER. I had emergency surgery in 2003 and they removed about 3 feet of my intestine and colon, so it’s been touch and go with foods ever since. However, in ALL that time, none of my doctors EVER suggested food groupings. It was just the usual rhetoric of avoiding nuts, seeds, and anything you found you couldn’t digest, but I had trouble with most every meal no matter what because I was combining foods the wrong way!!! You have truly saved my life and I don’t think I will ever have this problem again. I’ve been using the “Eat Out Chart” as a guideline and while I have not followed your 2 week diet that you suggested, I have been combining the foods appropriately and am utterly astounded that it works. I do use the recipes on the weekends — and am just about ready to go make your biscuits!!! I have avoided salads for years because they “bothered me” — but since I’ve followed your program, I basically eat two salads a day and I have had NO issues at all. It’s wonderful not to have a stomach ache after each meal and to wake up each morning feeling good! I am so truly grateful to you and your program! Thank you! Thank you! I have told so many others of your website and program so I hope they decide that their health is actually worth saving and that they can turn their life around! Bless you and have a wonderful weekend, Deb Reber Cathy wrote: Thank you Rachel & Mike! I appreciate all of your help, support, encouragement, words of wisdom, great products, and caring! I will stick with the program. It is a change to eat differently, but I do feel good about it, and am feeling better. I’m starting to get used to eating differently. It’s definitely worth it. The program does make so much sense! Even my husband (who does not have diverticulitis) is changing some of his eating habits, that you recommend. I have shared what I am doing with several friends and given them your website (while not giving them the book to read nor too much detailed info). I may contact you now and then with questions - thank you for that option. Please keep up the great work! What you are doing is so important and needed. I believe everyone could benefit from following your program. Please know that you are a blessing to me, as I am sure you are to others. You are giving sufferers of diverticulosis/-itis the opportunity to change their quality of life, live pain free, and be healed! What a gift of service and love. Thank you! Take good care. May God bless you and your family. –Cathy Debra I have to tell you that I bought this book for my grown daughter, she was so sick they were talking about taking part of colon out. I searched out your book and got her started immediately. It has been wonderful with her recovery. Thank you so much. Debra Karen Lindley Ten years ago after several years of drug treatment including a ten day stint on IV I had the worst operation of my life and lost a good metre of my bowel. Two weeks ago the rotten thing came back with a vengeance and I started dosing up on massive pain killers and only drinking liquids…………..after 6 days no improvement, little sleep and utter misery , I was too terrified to go to the Doctor in case I ended up in Hospital……………I decided to look for alternate treatments on Google and thankfully last Thursday I discovered your site. I started there and then……………..by Saturday I felt the pain had eased a little but put this down to the new painkiller I was on…………On Sunday I had much reduced pain and no painkillers. On Monday I woke up pain free, I am still pain free and I am a convert for life and have already passed your details on to two friends. I can not thank you enough. Yours sincerely, Karen Lindley Marie Jackson I just want to say that this book has helped me so much and I just want to tell everybody about this book. As you know I recently was hospitalized with this disease and I am still recovering but I am doing better and getting better. I have told my friends when they mention to me that their father or their husband has the disease I give them the web site plus I tell them the price and how they too can get the book. One of my girlfriends has been having symptoms of what might be the disease and I gave her the web site she said will be ordering it soon. Thank you so much for all you have done in writing this book. I know it took a lot of research and trail and error. Thank you and God BLESS YOU. Robert Simmons My name is Robert Simmons. You were very generous to send me a copy of the program free of charge some months back. I have been symptom free from the effects of diverticulosis now since I started the program. NO infections at all! I am truly amazed, as prior to your program, they were going to gut me like a fish. Remove 18″ of the lower colon. Im to young for that type of thing. I am truly grateful to you all. It is true, sometimes it only takes one or two folks to get involved to make big changes and big differences in other lives. You all have possibly saved mine! Certainly saved me from that horrific surgery, and the possibility of that dreadful colostomy bag. I would like to purchase the book, and need a reminder as to where and how to go about that. So grateful to you all. Thank You! Marcus L. Lowery Mike, as you know I ordered the platinum which is high priced but I went for it figuring I would just refund if I did not have great results. In two days I could tell that this plan had stopped my acid flow which had been burning my throat, causing heartburn, a belly ache and a lot of abdominal pain. 5 or 6 meals and things changed dramatically for the better. Mike immediately got me off yogurt, which I had been eating religiously for years. Between the few catalyst food changes and ending my trigger foods, I really felt like a new man in two days. Within two weeks I felt like I would never suffer again. I don’t always stick but I am in charge now and can be pain free or play a bit and then go a bit stricter when I need to to avoid attacks. If anyone is wondering, it is great to have a book in hand and the videos are unbelievably good and helpful to get you started fast and understanding everything. I don’t like spending money but after seeing everything, it is worth it. It looks like four books on the site picture but is four books in one, not four separate ones. Pretty easy, works good. M. Lowery J. Stolin My name is Jack. Rachel asked me to write a testimonial good or bad a month after starting the eating diet because that is the deal if you get help free which is what I asked for. First of all I can say that this family does answer emails and give free help when you ask. That mattered to me becauase I have been out of work for over a year and a half. I say the program is not always easy to understand at first but I got it and the helped to. I was having start of flareup and they showed me how to do it so I ended flareup without hospital trip. I don’t stick exactly to it all the time but anytime I do, I have no pain and no problems. I do it enough to not have flareups more and that is enough for me. Thanks for the help. Jack Helen: Rachel, I always do a New Year resolution. This year it was to do whatever I could to reduce my digestive symptoms and mostly by chance I chose your families plan. I did read some of the website and a couple testimonials but you never know if they are true. I just decided to try it. I read for a couple hours and then just picked a recipe and got started. The short story verson is that in 5 days I feel 90 percent better. That may sound like it’s to quick to tell but I always had at least cramping and pain left side every day. For me, I can’t believe I almost “clicked” away. Just wanted to tell you thanks.H.R. *These testimonials were chosen for their positive outcome and may not represent the typical outcome or result from being on the diet.
