Reversing Crohn’s and Colitis Naturally Podcast

Contrary to what your doctors told you, Crohn's and colitis are reversible. Now, I've helped hundreds of people reverse their bowel disease, and I'm here to help you do it too—because inflammation always has a root cause. We just have to find it. This is the Reversing Crohn’s and Colitis Naturally Podcast.

Now, I do these live trainings in my Facebook group every single week and put the audios here for you to listen to. If you want to watch the video versions of these episodes, just click the link in the show notes to get access to our Facebook group and YouTube channel. And for weekly updates, information, tips, and tricks, you can sign up for our email list by clicking the link in the show notes below.

Hey guys, sorry about that—we had to restart, had some tech issues. But now you can see me. Everyone should be good.

So here's the deal: If you guys are serious about reversing IBD—and I mean dead serious about this—I need you to listen close, because today we're showing you the only three reasons why you get IBD. Full stop. The only three. And no, I promise you guys, it is not random. It's not just genetic. It's not unknown. It's not 'cause you have bad luck. This information is well-known—just very poorly understood by doctors all over the world.

Okay, and so here's what I need you to know. I've been helping people reverse IBD for a very long time. And right now I'm speaking to a group of 13,000 people here inside this Facebook group. And if all of you follow to the letter the information I'm showing you today—okay, roughly 93% of you could be IBD-free in the next 16 weeks. That's my promise to you. That’s our stat from this information.

And so I want to change the way you see Crohn’s and colitis forever. And here’s what you're going to get from watching this video today:

1. You're going to fully understand that it can be reversed—and that your doctor, frankly, was wrong.
2. You're going to know why you got this disease, so that this no longer feels like a mystery that you’re stuck with.
3. You’re going to have concrete steps you can take away to begin reversing it.
4. And of course, lastly, at the end of everything, I'm going to offer you guys a solution and show you how this works.

I want you to understand this—you just need to take it and make it your own, okay? It's the only solution you're going to need.

So my only ask for you guys here: If you're on the live, please comment “live.” If you're on the replay, comment “replay.” It does one major thing. I do these lives in this group every single week for free. We just want you to get better. This disease is debilitating. But by you commenting, saying hi, giving us a wave, letting us know you’re here—it actually boosts this up in the algorithm. And so other members who are inside this group—out of 13,000 people—we want to reverse 93%. That’s our stat and success rate doing this stuff.

And by you just commenting “live,” you can help 93% of these people who are watching this, who got access to this, to actually reverse this disease condition. And you guys know how miserable it can be to live with. And so my ask is you just pay it forward, pass it along, and give this information to people by just saying hi. Give me a wave. Thank you so much. I see you here, Bobby. I see you, Megan. I see you, Kimberly. Great to have you guys here.

So here’s the deal for all of you. First of all, okay—those who are new might be wondering, “Who the hell is this guy? Why does he think he knows more than my doctor does?”

I’m the guy teaching your doctors this information and reshaping the way medicine sees Crohn’s and Colitis. I mean, my name is Josh Dech. I’m an ex-paramedic. I’m a holistic nutritionist, medical lecturer, and IBD specialist.

Now, you may have seen me on dozens of other podcasts with famous doctors like Dr. Shawn Baker, or on Christine Hassler. And next week I’m actually going to be in Dallas and Miami, 'cause we're breaking so much ground here, guys. We’re being brought onto TV shows like Know The Cause—25 years on TV—they're bringing us on to talk about this. Doing another famous podcast called Keto Kamp with Ben Azadi in Miami next week as well.

And here’s the thing—we’re even talking to an agency right now who wants to put up a billboard in Times Square because we are rocking ground with this information. So you guys need this. I want this here. I want this available for you.

Now of course, if you’ve heard my podcast Reversible: The Ultimate Gut Health Podcast, we do also interview doctors—famous, world-famous doctors like Dr. Steven Gundry, William Li, Barbara O’Neill, and many other famous personalities.

And so here’s the thing—why am I telling you guys this, right? It’s not about my ego. I just want you to understand through and through that I spend most of my time just trying to convince people that this is possible, that this can be done. Because once they’ve heard it from their doctors that, “Oh well, you’re stuck with this, it’s a lifer,” that’s just—that’s all they know.

And so my job here is just to tell you, look—this is huge. And we’re blowing up, and we just want to give it to you right now, as soon as we can. Frankly, before it becomes unreachable and you guys may not be able to do this type of work with us one-on-one here. So we want to give it to you right now while we can—because in the next year, six months—it’s going to be—it’s popping off, okay?

So pay close attention. And that’s what we’re doing here tonight, guys. We’re just showing you a different way. We’re showing you a better way. If you do pay close attention, we are going to change your life. I promise you that.

So I want to dive into this thing tonight. I want to dive into it right here. So you guys can all see me. There we go.

I want to dive into the three root causes, the primary reasons that you get IBD—the reason you get Crohn’s and Colitis. And I’m going to talk to you about why and how it can also become autoimmune.

And again, I am telling you now that not all cases of IBD are autoimmune. I promise you that. Not all cases. It’s a spectrum. If you’ve heard me talk about that before, you get it.

And so I want to show you something here. Let’s dive right in. No further ado. Let’s talk about the only three reasons that you get IBD. Okay? This is very important stuff. And hopefully everyone’s been tagged here inside this live. Let me just make sure we got you guys all here. I want everyone to have access to this.

Guys—you can’t miss this. That’s what I’m putting—everyone’s getting a tag for that.

Okay so here’s the deal, guys. We’re diving in. First things first. These three circles—this little Venn diagram—at the center is your Crohn’s and Colitis.

This is what I’ve spent the last—oh, probably ten years working towards. And I’ve simplified my entire life down to three circles. And I’m giving you guys these three circles here tonight.

Okay, so number one reason why we get Crohn’s and Colitis. Again, your doctor—what are they telling you?
“It’s genetic.”
“It’s autoimmune.”
“It might be environmental.”
“We don’t really know.”
“It kind of just happens.”

Well, picture this. If you guys aren’t sick of me using this analogy and beating it to death—inflammation is good. We know inflammation is a good thing. And you’re thinking, “Well, I’ve got inflammation in my gut, and it sucks. Why is that a good thing?”

Let me tell you. Imagine you have a thorn in your hand. You’ve cut yourself. Whatever’s happened—you have this inflammation. It’s there. It’s infected, because you have something your body is trying to get rid of.

Your hand doesn’t just inflame randomly. There’s a thorn in it.
And if you went to the hospital and said, “Hey doc, I’m inflamed. Can you fix me?” and they just gave you ointment for the pain? You’d look at them like they got three heads. You’d be livid. It wouldn’t make any sense.

And so we have to understand—why aren’t we pulling out the thorn?
We have to understand that there’s a thorn in your gut. Something is causing this. Something is causing:

• A. The immune system to go way out of whack—where it might be on the autoimmune spectrum
   or
• B. Your body is trying to heal you from something.

Right? There’s a thorn in your gut. That’s why you’re inflamed. And we’re talking about those thorns today, and what causes the immune system to go off.

So we have three causes—the only three causes for IBD.
Unequivocally, unquestionably, the only three causes.
And we’re going to talk about the three legs that it requires to become autoimmune. That’s what we’re doing today, okay?

This is why this is life-changing. You guys need this, okay? I promise you—this will be the best 20 minutes you ever spent in your entire life. I’m really excited about this. This is 10 years distilled down.

So here’s number one. Okay? It’s not random.

Number one: We have toxins.

Now, these first three things I’m going through with you here—these are the reasons why you get IBD. We’re talking about toxins.

“What the hell are toxins?” Everybody goes, “Toxic this, toxic that, everything’s toxic.”
 Let me explain in the context of IBD, okay?

Number one: When we have toxins enter the body, your body has to get rid of them somehow.
It has to detox—through your liver, your lymph, your kidneys, your skin, your gut. It has to get out somehow. Those are your detox mechanisms.

Now, picture you’ve got two cups. Okay?
I’m just going to draw two cups over here.
You’ve got a blue cup and you’ve got a red cup.

Now, the red cup is all the toxins accumulating into your body. Stuff comes in through the skin, it comes in from everywhere. You maybe have stuff in your gut creating toxins—that fills up into your red cup. This is the toxic load inside the body.

And so your body goes, “Well, we gotta get rid of this somehow. Let’s dump this out of the system.”
 Well, it can’t empty the red cup. It has to dump into the blue cup first.
And the blue cup is your liver, your lymph, your kidneys, your gut, your skin. That’s what gets it out of the system.

Well, if your red cup is full and your blue cup is full—you get very, very sick.

We have to detox through. But so many of us are so full of junk that we can’t actually empty the red cup into the blue cup.
We can’t get things out of our body.

And so these toxins are things like you’d expect them to be. These toxins are things like:

• Any kind of side: pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, rodenticide—any kind of “-cide”
• Your freaking deodorants, your chemicals, your perfumes
• We have different scents
• We have glyphosate
• We have plastics
• We have all this stuff everywhere that is actually highly toxic—unnatural chemicals

There are over 8,000 new chemicals being introduced into our body, into our water, into our food supply every single year.
100,000+ actively, and almost 8,000 new ones being approved by the FDA for usage—in stuff that we’re consuming.

These build up toxicity.

What do toxins do?

Well, your body can’t empty them out of these cups. It can’t get rid of it. So it tends to store it.
Well, it stores it in:

• Tissues
• Fat cells
• Your liver
• Your detox pathways

And that cup fills up, and we become toxic.

And when you’re toxic, what does your body do?

It inflames—to try to get rid of these toxins.
And that can also be very confusing for your immune system.
That’s highly problematic.

So toxins come from everywhere, and these build up.

People go, “Well, it’s just a little bit of FD&C dye.”
 It is—it’s a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of this...
 It’s death by a thousand cuts.

And now all these toxins build into our system and this is what drives up inflammation.

Lack of detoxification → increasing toxicity → increasing immune function → leading to autoimmunity, or at the very least in this case, inflammation.

These three circles are why you get IBD.

Toxins are a major one.

Now, what do toxins do? Well, like we talked about, they toxify the body.

But what else can they screw up?

These all feed into each other, and I gotta switch markers 'cause I need new ones now. But here’s something for you—this is one of the most important ones:

Microbial imbalances.

Now what do we do about microbial imbalances? What does that even mean?

Well, we all know about the microbiomes. We know your guts have biomes. We know—what is a microbiome?

It is a small biome or ecosystem.
We have them:

• In your armpits
• Orally
• Rectally
• Nasally
• Vaginally
• In your groin
• On your skin
• On your scalp

They’re everywhere. And these are little ecosystems that communicate together—conveying messages to each other, back and forth.

And all these toxins can actually screw that up.
So can food and diet.
So can your nutrients.
So can stress.
So can antibiotics and medication.
So can new foods or lack of foods.
Whether you were born vaginal or C-section... if you were someone who might have been bottle fed instead of breastfed, your microbes were never seeded.

A microbial imbalance might look like candida and fungus—the top two things I see driving IBD 90% of the time:

• Toxins like mold and mycotoxins
• Fungus like candida or other fungi

These are the two most common. This is why they’re at the top.

So we have:

• Toxins — number one
• Microbial imbalances — number two

Now, remember—these microbes, these ecosystems, all communicate together.
They all work together. And they have to communicate back and forth.

But the slightest imbalance can cause issues.

Imagine we have good guys, we have bad guys.

Your good guys—right? You got police, you got school teachers, you got good, hard, honest, working folk in this ecosystem that make it run.

On the other hand—we even got crack dealers and drug dealers and gang members and all this stuff.

Now, they play a part in society. They kinda keep things balanced to a degree—whether we like it or not.

But here’s the thing:
 Imagine every gas station just sold crack.
Everybody was slinging guns, and they were all gangsters.

Clearly I’m so white, guys... 😅

But here’s the deal—when we have these imbalances, society collapses.
And now we have a problem.

And so, microbial imbalances are huge.
This is why we do things like GI mapping and stool sampling. Okay?

So it’s very important to understand this:

• Toxins → major contributor
• Microbial imbalances → major contributor

And there’s another one that’s overlooked and underrated or not really viewed as that important—because your doctor has told you it doesn’t matter.

That’s going to be...

Diet.

And in this as well, I’m also going to put another bullet:

Nutrient deficiencies.

I put these together. If I put them in four bubbles, my Venn diagram wouldn’t be pretty. 😄

So we have:

• Toxins
• Microbial imbalances
• Diet & nutrient deficiencies

Now, we all know—our doctors so many times will go,
 “Oh, eat whatever you want. Just take the Humira.”

I think it was Bobby—one of the guys in the comments today—he said,
 “My doctor said take the Humira, you can eat whatever you want. Food has nothing to do with this disease.”

Food—it may not cause it (I have seen it cause it)... but food is a major contributing factor.

Because here’s the thing:

If we are eating foods that are inflammatory, what do we do?
We contribute to the inflammation from toxins or microbial imbalances.

These also create inflammation.

When you hit a certain level of inflammation—what happens? You bleed.

Imagine we’re going for a walk—you and I—we’re going for a little hike.

We’re wearing brand new shoes, but we both forgot our socks.
What happens?

Your heel rubs... and it rubs... until it gets red, and blisters, and bleeds.

And now you have inflammatory bowel disease.

That is the progression—particularly with diet.

Where you are raised on a poor diet, you kind of ate like a raccoon—whatever junk we can find, we put into our faces.
It’s Oreos, it’s pizza, it’s alcohol, it’s fried foods, it’s fast food, it’s junk food, which is void of nutrients, right?
And it’s highly inflammatory, contributing to microbial imbalances and toxins in the system.

So diet and nutrients make a huge difference.

Now nutrients—right—these are, of course, we always talk about macros:
Carbs, fats, proteins—those are huge.
Even fiber. But we forget vitamins, minerals, and water.

These are micronutrients.
With appropriate vitamins, minerals, and water—they are the catalyst for your body to do every single function.
Every enzymatic reaction.
Cellular function.
Cellular response.
The signals that go from your immune system—which 90% is inside your gut—signaling to your brain and back and forth, telling you what you need—

How efficient that communication is is done with vitamins and minerals as chemical messengers.

And if we are deficient in vitamins and minerals, we’re going to be contributing to our inflammation because we’re not signaling properly.

You need nutrients like proteins and certain vitamins and minerals to detoxify properly.

Your microbes actually produce certain nutrients—vitamin K and certain B vitamins—they help you detoxify the toxins.
They actually help you extract and digest a large part of these things through your small intestine and large intestine—to take out your nutrients.

So all these things work together, and if they are imbalanced—

And we have problems with:

• Toxicity
• Microbes
• Nutrients
• An inflammatory diet

Your heel is rubbing raw.

Now, some go, “Well, diet hasn’t made a difference. I can eat whatever I want.”

You’re already inflamed.
You’re already inflaming, contributing to the problem.

And so here’s what we need to look at:

These three work in tandem.

And you might go, “Well mine came on rapidly” or “mine came on slowly.”

There’s only two ways we get IBD.
The only two ways you will ever see someone get IBD—and it sounds like a no-brainer, but let me explain, okay?

It’s either:

1. Acute – which is going to mean rapid onset
   So you’re somebody who it just hit real hard, real fast—within a couple days, weeks, or months—you went from healthy to very sick, and now you got blood in the stool, and you got a diagnosis.
2. Or it’s going to be a very slow onset.

I’m going to give you two examples:

I’ve had people come in where it’s actually been mostly diet—99% diet-related.
That diet caused imbalances in nutrients, and that diet contributed to toxins. That was a big part of their problem.

We fixed their diet—but it took them 10, 20, 30 years of eating poorly to wear and tear.

So they’re wearing a pair of shoes without socks, and that’s it—they’re fine.

I’ve had other people come in very rapidly, who within a couple of days, weeks, or months got very sick—because their shoe—they had no socks, but their shoe was wet, their foot was too big, it was full of rocks and sand—and that ate away at their foot even faster.

And now we have this rapid onset disease.

These are people who eat poorly.
 Maybe you had your gallbladder out 20 years ago—and your digestion steadily went downhill.

Now you’ve got a little bit of bloat, little bit of indigestion, fats aren’t digesting very well.

A couple years later you got diagnosed with IBS.
Then your skin starts to act up.
Now you’re having hormonal issues, you’re having erectile dysfunction, or your period really sucks, you’re having a lot of breast tenderness, or weight gain.

It gets worse and worse.

Now your bowel movements are 10 or 20 a day.
Or you’re on the other end of the spectrum—you’re constipated.

And then what happens?

You get blood, and you’re like,
“I better see my doctor.”

You go in—they go:
 “Oh yeah, it’s IBD. We just must have never diagnosed you.”

Nope.
 It was a slow wear-and-tear process.

Or on the other hand—
 I talked about this gentleman. I just saw him again two weeks ago. It’s my favorite case—because guys, it paints a picture so clear.
Such a root cause.

His doctor said, “You got it ‘cause you’re Jewish.”

I sh*t you not.
 His doctor went, “Well, it’s genetic. And Jewish people just get it more. And you’re Jewish. So it must be genetic. Therefore, take these mesalamines, I’ll give you four pills a day.”

And guess what? He was better. Fixed his symptoms.
 But it didn’t take the thorn out of his hand.
It didn’t remove that from his gut.

And so it took us all of 15 minutes to realize—

Okay, well, this started a year ago. What happened? What changed that year ago?

He goes,
 “I started a new job.”
 Okay—what happened?

“Well, two months into the job I got diagnosed with IBS.”
 Okay—when did your IBD start?

“Well, six months after that.”

Were you previously healthy before?

He goes,
 “Absolutely.”

I said, “Great. What was your job?”

Well, he was working in HVAC—so he’s working in ventilation systems.

I said,
 “What kind of homes? New homes? Old homes? Renos?”

Kind of the works.

I said,
 “Great. Did you wear your PPE? Your personal protective equipment? Did you wear your mask?”

He goes,
 “No.”

I said,
 “Okay—you probably have a mold infection.”

We did a urine test. We confirmed a mold called OTA.
That stands for Ochratoxin A.

That was the acute.

Within 8 months, started bleeding from his colon.
It wasn’t because he’s Jewish.
It’s because he had a mold infection.

We got rid of the mold.

10 weeks later:
No blood.
No symptoms.
No pain.
No medication.

His doctor—perplexed.
We showed him the mold.

He goes,
 “Nah. Mold doesn’t cause that.”
 “Nah. Diet doesn’t matter.”
 “No. Microbes don’t matter.”
 “GI maps are stupid.”
 “All bacteria bad. Kill ‘em with antibiotics.”

And this is the battle we’re fighting.

Because unfortunately, he was told, “It’s just genetic. You’re Jewish.”
 Oh well.

I went,
 “Let’s do a test. Let’s figure it out.”
 And we found the thorn.
 We pulled it out.

10 weeks later—no more IBD.

This fella, Louis—I can use his name here because it’s public information—I got a testimonial on the website.
 He did one for you guys in the group a few months back.

16 years.

It’s actually his friend in Dallas we’re going to see—runs this TV show called Know the Cause.
Been on for 20+ years. Doug Kaufman.
If you’ve ever heard of the antifungal Kaufmann Diet—he’s the guy.

And so I’m going to Dallas next week to do this TV show to talk about this.
 Because his friend had IBD for 16 years.
Every drug. Every doctor. Nothing worked.

We found the crux of his—
 In 6 months: Gone. No more symptoms. No IBD.

Doctors are perplexed.

So here’s what I’m getting at:

We have toxins, we have microbial imbalances, we have nutrient deficiencies.
Now this right here—is the reason why we get IBD.

Because something has to pop off in these three areas. These are large umbrellas, but it’s something.

Our job as clinicians is to find that something.

If everybody heard this message, guys, IBD would be eradicated.

Now—it’s worth about $750 billion a year in the United States.
So I mean, it’s very profitable.

I don’t know how many of you—drop it in the chat, let me know, put a money sign—just let me know:

In terms of signs—how much money do you guys spend? Whether it’s through your insurance or elsewhere.

• Is it two grand a month?
• Ten grand a month?
• Twenty grand a month?

What are you spending on medication right now?

Give me a money sign if you’re more than a thousand bucks a month.
Give me a money sign if you’re more than 5,000—give me two.
If you’re more than 10,000—give me three.
If you’re more than $20,000 a month, give me five.

Give me five money signs—let me see those.
 I want to know what you guys are spending.

Because here’s the thing:

It is extraordinarily profitable.
Unfortunately—it’s the way it is.

I’ve met with a lot of great doctors. Some doctors have been amazing—it’s part of why my career is here today.
They brought me in to help teach them.

But other doctors—
 Guys, I’ve worked with hundreds of people to reverse their IBD.
Reversed. Symptom-free.
And still, to this day, I’ve had zero GI specialists actually sit down and talk to me.

Many have their hands tied.
 Many don’t want to know.
 Many are too arrogant to even bother.
But many just have to stick to the insurance model:
Get people in. Get people out.

They don’t have 2 hours to sit down with you like I do—to go through this and figure out your history, to pull this out and get you fixed.

And that’s why we’re stuck.

But let me know—let me see those money signs:
 Thea, Tiffany, Teresa—you’re the 10 to $20,000-a-month club, girl. I’m telling you.

So here’s the thing:

This is how IBD comes about.
Our job is just to fix it.

Now I’ll tell you right now—if you guys are not already looking for help, guys, comment “solution,” and then we’ll talk to you about the Gut Health Solution and show you how we did it for these guys.

But in the meantime, here’s what I want to do with you:

I want to take you back.

So we talked about why IBD comes about, okay?

• Toxins: all the junk from everywhere
• Microbial imbalances: that’s the 100 trillion bacteria inside of your gut
  • 2 to 3% of your entire body weight is just microbes

I’m going to throw another stat at you.

Dr. Yehuda Shoenfeld out of Tel Aviv University—he’s sort of the Godfather of autoimmune disease—
We know, when we are born, he says we’re about 99% human cells, 1% bacteria.

Okay? One percent. That’s it.

As we grow and develop—we get more bacterial cells.
By the time we die—we are 90% bacteria, 10% human cells.

These microbial imbalances are everything.
They’re almost more important than your very DNA.

In fact—they influence your genetics and your DNA.

You have 23,000 different genes in the entire human genome—all your genetics that make you you.
You have 3 million in your gut.

Microbial imbalances matter.

If your doctor says “no”—that’s a lie.

And what we eat and the nutrients we consume affect all of these things.
They work together.

So let’s talk about—
 Now we’ve gone through what creates IBD—
Let’s talk about what turns it autoimmune.

Because autoimmunity is not a random thing.
Autoimmunity doesn’t come from nowhere.

Autoimmunity has to have a stimuli.
Something has to cause it.

And we’re going to show you what that’s like.

Now, not everyone is autoimmune.
 I’ve had people come in and they’re in the spectrum somewhere.

Even if you have these risk factors we’re about to go through now, it might put you at risk for autoimmunity, but you might not be autoimmune.
You might not get an autoimmune disease.

You’re on a spectrum right now.
Your heel’s in the shoe, it’s bleeding, it’s somewhere.
Until you’ve broken through this barrier with all of these six things I’m about to show you here—it will not or should not become autoimmune.

These are the predisposing factors.

Now, in a perfect storm, even if you do have this autoimmune condition, with all six factors we’re about to show you now, even if that’s 25% of your disease process, the other 75%—you have total control over.

You don’t have to be crippled, housebound, and stuck for the rest of your life.

So here’s what this looks like:

Number one thing we get told—
Number one thing:
“It’s your genetics.”

That’s what happened to him—right? His doctor said, “You’re Jewish. It’s genetic. Oh well.”

So they say it’s genetic—well, guess what?

Toxins influence genetic expression.
Inflammation influences genetics.
In fact, even microbes influence your genetic expression.

You have more genes in your microbes than you do inside of the entirety of your human body.

And we also have this study now called nutrigenomics—which is how nutrients influence genetic expression.

If you’re inflamed, you’re burning through nutrients, right?

If you are inflamed, you’re not absorbing nutrients.

Picture this, okay?

You are living on a farm—quiet little place. And you’ve got a well.
Ten gallons a minute. Pretty nice for a home. A couple of people.
You can drink from it, you can shower from it, there’s enough water for everybody.

But you have this amount of supply for this amount of need.

Well—picture your house is on fire.
Everything starts burning down. You need extra water.
Now you’re going to that well and you are draining it out as quick as you can to put the fire out—because there’s an increased need, because you have inflammation.

You have an increased need for resources.

What happens?

You start draining from that well.
Those are your nutrients.
You need those to put the fire out—to manage the inflammation.

And what happens now is you have these nutrient deficiencies, because you’re burning through them at an increased rate.

You’re also inflamed, so your well is shallow, it’s stuffed up, it’s not filling as quickly as it should—because you’re not absorbing and bringing the water in as well as you should.

Now you’re at a deficit, and the freaking house burns down.

And what do the doctors do with the medication?

They put a blindfold over your face and go,
“Look, you can’t see it. It’s not happening.”

We stop the cellular signals from trying to respond.
We stop the fire team from coming and trying to help you heal and repair.
And we just block it, pretend it’s not happening and go,
“Look—I made it better.”

It doesn’t work that way.

And so what we have to do is supply extra nutrients.
And nutrients also influence genetic expression.

Even if you’re someone who has—like, there’s a couple of genes associated, for example:

• NOD2 is commonly associated with Crohn’s
• We have one called IL23R
• We have IRGM is another one

If you test positive for these genes, your doctor goes,
“Look—it’s in the family history. Look—you have the gene.”

That means nothing.

It’s how the toxins influence expression.
It’s how nutrigenomic expression and communication between your bacterial imbalances that exploit that gene.

If you have a chain, and you start to pull on it, it snaps at the weak link.

If your genes are the weak link and it’s not being supported—
Of course it breaks.
Of course that gene flicks on or turns up in severity and now you have this problem.

These genes simply influence cellular turnover.
They influence things like how your body regulates bacteria, all of that.

So if you’re not turning over cells properly, you’re not managing inflammation well, your immune system responses are a little bit tarnished, or you’re not changing your bacteria and monitoring it properly—

Of course an imbalance in bacteria will exploit those genes.

Of course your nutrients affect the cellular health, which is already compromised.

Of course your toxins take advantage of that—pop goes the chain—and now it’s a genetic condition.

So that’s the other one we have to look for here.

Let’s look at the next piece.

The next one in the mix here is going to be a trigger of some kind.

Now a trigger can be:

• Giving birth
• Getting pregnant
• Traveling
• A stressful event

So many people went,
 “Well, I was so stressed… and I got colitis.”

It wasn’t the stress.
 That was the weak link.
But it had to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

A healthy body, with healthy microbes, healthy toxicity levels, and great nutrient profiles does not get stressed and bleed from the colon.
It doesn’t happen.

You don’t get ulcers in your mouth if you are healthy.

There’s imbalances—that that trigger then straws out—broke the camel’s back—and now you have this problem.

And now we develop this autoimmune condition where the immune system goes haywire.

And this is how they develop, okay?

There has to be a trigger.
Maybe it’s heavy antibiotic use.
Like I said, a stressful event.
Maybe you moved countries.
Maybe something horrible happened.
Maybe it was a medication or a surgery.

Something added an increased load onto your body, and that was the weak link that broke.

And this is how it happens.

The third and final piece that creates autoimmunity—that can lead to your problems—and you will not find any autoimmune condition—

I don’t care if it’s:

• MS
• Lupus
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• I don’t care what it is

Every single autoimmune condition—you will not find somebody who does not have leaky gut.

Every single time.

And now you guys might be here going,
 “Well, I think I’ve got leaky gut…”

If you’re inflamed, you’ve got leaky gut.

Why does that matter?

Because your small intestine is one cell thick before it enters your bloodstream, your lymphatic system.
Two cells in the large intestine. That’s it.

You know how thick a cell is, guys?
It’s like one-one-hundredth of the width of a hair.
It is so, so minute and so fine.

When you’re inflamed, these gap junctions between the cells actually open up.

When they open up—things leak through.

Now we talked about inflammation.

Inflammation is a good thing.
Remember? Thorn in your hand. Your hand swells—because it’s trying to get rid of the intruder.

Same thing with leaky gut.

Leaky gut is a defense mechanism.
It actually inflames, it draws extra water to try to flush things out.

For example—we’ve all eaten that thing—
 You eat it, and in like 10 minutes you’re in the bathroom, like—
 “Ohhh I gotta go.”

That is inflammation.

Because your body created leaky gut to bring the water in, open the floodgates, flush things out.

Right?
 That’s the and man at the end of the guard like:
“Open the river!”

Everything just gone through.

What’s happening now is—your body’s flushing things out like you’re putting your thumb over the top of the hose to spray down the driveway.

Well—these leaks become sustained.
They get bigger and bigger.
It’s now bidirectional.

Sustained inflammation is a problem.

Now we have microbial imbalances, bacteria, and toxins leaking into the system.

We’re lacking nutrients, because we’re burning through them.

Toxins coming in and out of the gut—influencing each piece of this puzzle.

And now we have more autoimmunity.

And that messes up your immune system.

Up to 90% of your immune system—your T-cells and B-cells and T-reg cells—all these guys—are actually made, grown, and matured inside of your gut.

One cell.

There’s your immune system.

This is your barrier.
This is your intestines.
And that’s your immune system.

Of course, a leak is going to screw that up.
Of course, a leak is going to mutate the cells.
Of course, a leak is going to mess with the control mechanisms and the regulation of your immune system.

So let’s recap really quick.
If you guys have questions—drop them in the chat. I want to get to these because this is a very important—
This is the most important call we’re ever going to do inside of this group.

Okay, we have:

• Toxins
• Microbial imbalances
• Diet and nutrient deficiencies

These create inflammatory bowel disease.
These lead to inflammation.

Well, if we had the perfect storm, we have:

• A genetic mutation of some kind or genetic marker
• On top of a trigger
• On top of leaky gut

You’re going to get an autoimmune condition.

But most of you don’t have these.
These are actually pretty rare.

In fact, genetics are a very small percentage of people who actually have IBD.

Very small actually have detected antibodies.

They did some experiments—I think it was like 368 people or something—
There’s a PubMed—you can look up on this one—

Where they found all these people who had antibodies actually produced to their own organs:

• 60% in Crohn’s
• 40% in Colitis

That means:

• 60% of people with ulcerative colitis did not have any antibodies
• 40% of people with Crohn’s had no antibodies

Therefore—it is not, by definition, autoimmune.
It is imbalanced immune system or high levels of inflammation.

It’s not autoimmune.

But here’s what’s more interesting:

Antibodies to those tissues can be created through:

• Taking drugs
• Alcohol
• Stress

These antibodies just come up.

But your healthy immune system, one cell away on the other side of your gut lining, comes in and goes,
“Ooh—that cell, that immune cell—it’s attacking us. Kill it.”

And it’s done.

You have cells that actually regulate the ones that try to attack you—the ones that might become cancerous.
Your body regulates that.

It’s the dysregulation from these three things, and these other three things here—the six total—that create the window for autoimmunity to occur.

The vast majority of you guys do not have autoimmunity.

Telling you that right now.

You can bring this to your doctor and say,
 “Look—I got a second opinion.”

And they will be perplexed.

To this day—in my entire career—hundreds of cases we’ve reversed, guys—hundreds of cases—

Like I said, it’s blowing up so much—we’re going to be on TV, you’re going to see us in a couple of weeks.

They want to put up a billboard in bloody Times Square—it’s super cool.
 They want to do sit-downs and do new filming, and do some more shows and all kinds of stuff about this.

But here’s the root of it:

You bring this to your doctor—they’ll still be perplexed.

Because they’re just not taught this stuff.

I work with some amazing doctors—I’m not bashing doctors.
But they just don’t see this stuff.
They just don’t work with this stuff.

Because they’re taught:

“Here are your symptoms… this is your diagnosis…
 Therefore, for this diagnosis, we give drugs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in this order…”

We’ll start with some steroids.
Then we might go to the mesalamine.
Then we might go to another drug.
We might do an infusion.
We might do a biologic.
We might try the Entyvio, the Stelara, the Humira.

Very last, we’ll try a JAK inhibitor.

And if that doesn’t work?

What do we do?
Snip snip. Cut the colon.
“Don’t need it anymore. Your body’s attacking it.”

Your body’s not.
Your body is trying to defend you from something.

What is it defending you from?

If you ask that question, and find that answer—
I promise you—you can reverse IBD.

This is how it works. Every single time.

This is how it works—every single time.

We have a 93% success rate.
93%.

The only reason 7% don’t get through—guys, I’m telling you—
Is because they just don’t do the work or don’t show up.

It’s not that it doesn’t work.

100% of people can get relief.
93% can get fully reversed.

The other 7% we see—actually have autoimmunity.
And so they’re always going to have some kind of issue.

We haven’t figured out how to fix that yet.
 But—you can get 80 to 90% relief or more.

Only 25% of actual genetic autoimmunity is that genetic piece that we can’t really control.

But again—
 That gene can be turned up and turned down based on these influences of:

• Microbial imbalances
• Toxins
• Diet or nutrient deficiencies

We can turn genes up and down.

So let’s talk about dialing those genes down, reducing inflammation, and you got your life back.

Worst case scenario—you got to be a little bit more strict on your diet.
Maybe take some steroids as needed if you get into a high stress situation or a flare.

But it’s not a lifelong thing.

It just doesn’t make sense.

And this math does not add up.

If you’ve heard me talk about this before—okay—I’m going to hammer something home.

But in the meantime, here’s what I want you guys to do:

If you’re watching this right now, and you’re like,
 “Man, this is blowing my mind. This is the most important thing I’ve ever seen.”

Comment ‘solution’ right now. Just comment solution inside of the group.

We’re going to talk to you about the Gut Health Solution.
I want you guys to have a chance to do this before it just gets too out of hand and too big and too everything.

I want you guys to have this information.

I’ve been teaching lives in this group for over a year—doing this stuff—
And this is the most important live we’ve ever done.

Because we’re just distilling it down to three bloody circles.

That’s 10 years of my life on the board right there.
It’s so simple.

We break it down—but that’s the idea.

So if you want help, if you want to talk about the Gut Health Solution,
If you’re like,
“Dude, I’m not spending $20,000 a month on medication anymore.”

Guys—it’s a couple hundred bucks a month.
 It’s not expensive.

Get in and out in 16 weeks.
I’ll send you a thing—you tell me how much you can afford.
We’ll show you the programs we have available for that budget.
Bing bang boom. In and out. 16 weeks. You can have your life back.

All you have to do is just comment ‘solution’ and drop that in the comment section.

And I’m going to make sure I reach out to you.
We’ll get you some information about our program, the Gut Health Solution.
We have the stream, the IBD Solution—and this is what we do.

Okay?

So—I’m going to walk you through really quick the five stages that we take you through that’s going to show you how to reverse this—very concisely, very easily.

It’s a system and a process that works every single time with a 93% success rate.

The 7%—because people don’t stick around and do the work.
 They get busy. They get distracted. Okay?

But here’s what I want to show you first—

I’m going to erase this—hope you guys took notes—

Here’s what I want to show you:

Here’s why it cannot be autoimmune, and why it doesn’t make any sense.

I’m sure many of you are watching this and going,
 “Wow… like, it makes sense. Like, here are the triggers, here’s how it happens.”

Let me back it up.

This is information from the CDC, okay?

And I just—I love this information, because it blows my mind still.
I’ve been teaching it for a long time, guys.
I’ve been doing this for years, and it still blows my mind.

I teach this to doctors—I do medical lectures.

Recently—most recently—here for the Priority Health Academy, it’s a functional medicine academy for medical doctors—

And I showed the stats and their jaws were on the floor like:
“You’ve got to be freaking kidding me.”

Here’s something to know:

Okay, so let’s look at this. Here’s a little chart I’m going to draw for you.

We’re going to start all the way back here—a little history lesson:

Back in 1990
All the way up to 2020 when the last piece of information was taken as per the recording of this video.

Back here in 1990, okay—
 There was anywhere from 1.5 to roughly 3 million cases of IBD as per the CDC, worldwide.

Okay?

So let’s just round out even numbers here—
 We’ll call it 2.25. Okay, whatever—we’ll just call it 2 million.

Two million cases of IBD worldwide.
1990.
34 years ago.

In 2020—when they took this—in a 30-year span, you know how many cases there were?

Seven million cases.

Which means—we’ve gone up anywhere from three to five times, depends on the numbers you’re pulling.

We’ve gained three to five times the amount of cases worldwide.

And they’re going:

“Ahh it’s unknown...”

You better figure it out pretty fast—
Because if it’s “unknown,” and we’re doubling, tripling, quintupling the amount of cases—you better figure out where it’s coming from.

Well—we’ve already done that.

We know it’s bacteria.
We know it’s toxins.
We know it’s diet and nutrients.

But we’ve increased—that doesn’t make any sense.

Let’s do one more.

Okay? Here’s one more for you. I’m gonna hammer this one home:

Genetics.

If it’s just genetic—it’s a genetic mutation, right?

“Well, it’s because you’re born here…”
 “Oh, it’s because of this…”

Well—the cases have climbed dramatically.

There’s no way genetics changed that much in 30 years.
Hundreds of years, maybe.
30 years? Absolutely not.

That’s two, two and a half generations.

So let’s look at this instead:

Take a look at the cases distributed—

We know there are 7 million cases worldwide.
Okay? 7 million cases actively being seen by a doctor—not to mention who’s not being seen.

And again, this is just diagnosed IBD: Crohn’s, Colitis.
Not to mention everyone else on the spectrum who’s starting with Irritable Bowel right now, who will eventually wear and tear, like the heel in a shoe, and get worse until it is chronic colitis—and then it gets worse until it is autoimmune.

But for right now, let’s use the 7 million person number—it’s probably more like 7.5 now.

Okay—7 million people.

You think, if it’s genetic, it’d be well-spaced:

• 5% in the States
• 5% in Canada
• 10% in China
• 10% India
• Other big countries, right?

Not at all.

The United States of America—and in fact, I’m going to put Canada up here—because now it’s actually a North American problem—

They are collectively less than 5% of the global population of the world.

And wouldn’t you know it—

With the most pesticides, the most toxicity, the most everything, the most microbial imbalances, the highest use of antibiotics—

They just so happened—“unknown cause” my ass—
To have 50% of the world’s cases.
Upwards of 60%, depending on the stats you look at.

In 5% of the population.

That is not genetic.
That is not random.
That is not unknown.

We have the information.
 We’re just not looking at it the right way.

And so once we have these pieces, we can go:

“Genetic… Unknown cause… Can’t figure it out…”

Here’s a trifecta.

Look—I made a Venn diagram.
 I put it in a bloody diagram, guys.

That’s as simple as it gets.
 It’s three freaking rings.

So we know the causes of IBD.
 It can be reversed.
And you may not actually be autoimmune.

Because the stats just don’t lie.
There’s just not that many people who have the antibodies.

So by definition, it’s not actually autoimmune.
It’s just inflammatory.

And if it’s just inflammatory, there’s a root, because your body is trying to heal you from something.

You get what I’m saying?

This can be reversed in 16 weeks, guys.
It’s that easy.

All you gotta do is just comment “solution” in the chats below, and we’re gonna have a chat with you guys.

We’re gonna let you know what’s going on.
 We’re gonna get in here and figure out where your imbalances went wrong.

We have to do it—history.
We’ll sit down—it’s a long process.
But you’ve been dealing for years, guys—

What’s an hour conversation with me?
What’s an hour with my team?

Two hours total maximum.

Have you fill out 10–15 pages of questionnaires and history,
Might run a urine test if we have to.
That’s it.

And the rest of your life—you’ll have it back.
 It can be that simple.

And so what we’re looking at here is the three causes of IBD—
Solved. Mystery solved. Case closed.

It’s that easy.

This is why we’re blowing up.
We’re going all over the world with this thing.
And you guys need to have this.
It’s so important.
So, so, so important.

And so here’s the thing:

We help people all the time, man.
We had a five-year-old boy who came in recently—we’re working with him now.

And his doctor said:
 “Well, it’s genetic. Could be random. We don’t know. Who knows?”

He’s five.

Well—five-year-old boy limping around the house, his joints hurt, he’s so inflamed, he’s sick, he’s bouncing off the walls, he’s angry all the time, he hurts, he’s having loose stools, and blood in his stool—

He’s five, guys.
Five years old.
And this little boy can’t be a little boy.

And so we sat down, and did a history, went through the symptoms—

And guess what?
 His doctor said,

“It’s autoimmune. We should put him on Entyvio. Put him on Remicade. It’s the best we can do.”

Five years old.

We sat down—took us half an hour—we decided:
Let’s run a urine test.

And guess what?

It was mold.
Full of it.
12 or 15 different strains of mold.

This little boy—we start pulling it out—
Guess who gets better?

Pull him out of the moldy environment—he gets better.
Detox the system—he gets better.

It can be that easy.

And that’s—that’s kids, man.

Doctors just—they’re not taught this stuff.

So I—I’ve got 40, almost 50 comments right now inside here, inside the chat.

So I’m gonna go through these with you guys right now, as quick as I can.
 I do have to go—but if you guys want to learn this, I’m telling you—just comment “solution” and we’re gonna talk to you about the Gut Health Solution, and show you what can be done.

If you’ve not commented yet—I’m just down here guys reading, ‘cause my laptop—
 ‘Cause my phone’s not showing me all this stuff.
 I want to make sure we get a chance to go through some of these questions.

Joyce: “I’m ready for a solution.”
Josh: Joyce—we got you.

Carrie Boone says:

“Pediatric IBD is a bit different and harder to treat I’ve been told.”

Well—it can be.
 If you’re treating it with drugs, right?

But if you’re not looking for a root cause—
Everyone inflames. Little kids—they scrape their knee, it gets red and it scabs—because that’s inflammation, because your body’s trying to heal you.

It can be a little trickier maybe, but the more common causes for kids I find are actually easier to find, because there’s less residual damage in their system.

They’re not damaged with their liver and their kidneys and all that stuff.
They’re so resilient.

Kids can often be fixed a lot easier than adults.

In fact, if it’s mold, for example—and they’re in a moldy home—
Adults can take sometimes months and years to detox.
Kids—get them out of the environment, they’ll fix 50% by themselves just by being removed.

So sometimes it’s easier than you think.

Megan asked:

“Is it common to have elevated RA factor, iron, ferritin levels, and negative ANA with colitis?”

Negative ANA means you’re not gonna have the antibodies.
It’s totally normal to have these issues all over the place.

Especially iron to be low.

Why is your iron low?

Well—because one, if you have bacterial imbalances, right?

Remember our three things that we have here:

• Bacterial imbalances (or microbial)
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Toxins

Well guess what—bacterial imbalances, especially in the small intestine, eat iron like food.
They’ll consume it and they’ll use it and you’re going to be low.
Or—you’re going to be bleeding. Accommodation of the two.

Sydney: “Help me reverse.”

Josh: Sydney—you comment “solution”—we got you, girl.

I see like 10 of you here:
“Solution. Solution. Solution.”
Brian, Ally, Joyce, Daniel, Lynn, Teresa, Bobby—solution.
Yeah—we got you guys covered.

Karen—solution.

Christine—solution. Elizabeth—solution.

Josh: Guys, I love this, man.
I’m so excited to change some lives here.

I’m going to cry.
 This is amazing.

We just want you guys to get better.
This disease is—it doesn’t have to be this way.

You guys are awesome. Let’s see what we can do for you.

Karen: “Those stats are crazy.”
Josh: I’m telling you guys.
There’s like 20 of you commented “solution” now. I will warn you guys—

I might have to waitlist you.

We’ve only got so much here.

But if you comment “solution”—drop me a—if you commented “solution,” also send me a message on Facebook Messenger, because I’m going to get you in right away.

We’ll get you started as quickly as we can, okay?

I don’t want to have to waitlist you guys.
 I want you in right now.
We want to help you with this right now.

Teresa: “Thank you—I have an appointment with my GI next week. I need to find out if I have autoimmune.”

Josh: Well—here’s the good news, Teresa:

If you’re looking for help—when you comment “solution”—
It doesn’t matter if you’re autoimmune.

Because autoimmunity, guys, is a spectrum. It’s here. It’s here.

Now once you break past—let’s talk IBS, IBD, right?
 This might be the IBD side of things—once you get so bad that heel rubs raw until it bleeds, now it can become IBD.

But once you break past these barriers because you had these issues—these functions—because you had a genetic issue, for example, right?
You had a toxicity issue, and a bacterial issue, and all these contributed—The Perfect Storm—you broke through.

Maybe it’s autoimmune, maybe not.

Doesn’t matter.

Because we can take care of all these things influencing autoimmunity and just reverse it.

It’s as simple as that.

And even the immune system—it’s autoimmune, it’s imbalanced, it’s confused—it can still be calmed.

Doesn’t matter where you are.

People all the time want to wait for a colonoscopy—doesn’t matter to me.
We don’t need a colonoscopy.

You know you’re inflamed.

Why do I need a scope and a visualization to tell me how inflamed you are?
 You can tell me based on your symptoms where you’re inflamed.

It doesn’t matter. I don’t care where abouts in your colon you’re inflamed.

It’s all inflammation with the exact same roots—just a different presentation. That’s all it is.

Carrie: “Breaks my heart when there might be a solution but money keeps it out of your reach.”

Josh: I know, Carrie—I know.

Here’s what we do:

Message me anyway—because we have all kinds of resources for you guys.

I know getting into a program can be—

I’ve had people like, “You know what? I’m done with this.” They take out a credit card or they put it on that—

I’m not saying go into debt to do this thing.
It’s a few hundred bucks a month.
You know what I mean? It can add up.
Some people don’t have that.

We have so many resources for you guys.
We have so much stuff.

For those of you who aren’t in a position to get help—you don’t have the money—you have your time and your attention.

And it might take you longer than a few months—might take you a few years.
But we will walk with you and give you all this information to piece it together eventually.

That’s why we do this.

We have a podcast.
We have this group.
We have so much stuff just out there for you guys.

And if money is an issue—just let me know.
We’ll see what we can do for you guys for resources.

Megan said:

“Iron is high.”

Well—that’s an interesting one as well.
 And that could be another thing—that could be an issue of:

• Is it in the blood?
• Or is it ferritin?

If ferritin is high—ferritin is your storage of iron.
That’s your body holding onto it.

And so it goes:

“Hey—we’re losing iron through blood. Our bacteria’s trying to eat the iron.”

What does it do?

It stores extra.
Ferritin goes up—because it says:

“Nope—it’s mine. I’m not letting this go. I’ve only got so much.”

And your ferritin is high, and your blood iron is really low—that’s typically bacterial.

Bobby asked:

“Is the mold toxicity dealt with by removing yourself from the environment that contains the mold, or is the mold in food, drinks, etc.?”

Josh: Bobby—both.

So we have to:

• Prevent re-inoculation (stop mold from coming back)
• There are common moldy foods we have to stop contributing to the problem

But think of it like a glass—
It’s already full.

A little drop causes overflow.

So we have to empty the glass.

And then—a drop or two in food? Not a big deal.
But on the other hand—we have to remove from the environment.

Especially if your house is moldy, your bathroom’s moldy, it smells musty—

You’re bringing in mold spores all the time.
It’s going to be very hard to fix.

And sometimes? Impossible.

Then we have to go through a very careful detox process.

Remember we talk about the red cup and the blue cup, guys?
Right?

If we have these two cups—
 We have the red cup and the blue cup—

And we’re trying to empty—

(He laughs) I’m gonna do two blue cups—

We’re trying to empty from one cup into the other—so we can empty out—

If you’re already full, and you’re full, and you empty—
We overflow.

And now we have some major disasters.

It can be very, very dangerous.

Kidney and liver damage, all kinds—

We’ve seen people hospitalize themselves by doing this too much, too fast.

We meet with—you see you guys in the program—we meet every single week for 16 weeks.

Sometimes we’ll check in with you more often—depends on how delicate it is.
 Because so much can happen in a short time.

This isn’t a quick set-it-and-forget-it piece.
This is like—we’re going to stick by you and walk you through this.

Another question from Ann:

“I’ve read over his free protocols on the website. Have you checked them out?”

Josh: We got tons of stuff there.

And those, again, are blanket protocols.

Unfortunately, everyone’s so specific, so we have to dive in.

But—for those who are like:

“You know what—I have no money. I want to start somewhere.”

I created some free protocols.

It’s like—here’s the basics.

• Will help you detox your liver
• Help manage good inflammatory processes

It’s the best we can do.

But it’s better than doing nothing.
Because we can still manage this stuff better—and not have all those nasty side effects from meds.

Brian:

“What’s the website?”

Josh: Brian—there’s two websites to go to:

1. gutsolution.com
2. reversiblepod.com

That’s our podcast website.
You can see some of the famous doctors we work with there as well.

Teresa:

“Big Pharma wants to keep you sick.”

Josh: Damn right, Teresa.
That’s money.
It’s worth billions and billions.

Megan:

“Both iron and ferritin are high.”

Josh: Keeping stuff interesting, yeah.
Definitely an absorption issue.

It’s probably something to do with your hepcidin levels, which is actually liver gating and releasing—it’s the absorption of it, the usage—it’s a whole thing, but very fixable.

Carrie:

“I know exactly the trigger for my son.”

Josh: If you know the trigger that caused it and set this off—
That’s all that matters.

Josh wraps up:
Guys—I’m actually running way overtime here.

I’m going to be so late. I got class tonight. I gotta fly.
I’m gonna be late—that’s fine.

But I want you guys to have this information.

So here’s the deal:

If you haven’t commented ‘solution’ yet, comment ‘solution’ below.

We’re going to reach out to you.

If you already commented solution, guys—send me a message.
Send me a DM right now on Facebook.
We’ll get in touch right away.

I gotta fly, but I’ll see you either later tonight or tomorrow—
We’ll get you this information and get you guys back better.

Look how easy this can be.
It’s such a simple process.

Your doctors just aren’t trained in this.

And we’re going to show you exactly how to do this, walk you through, and in 16 weeks—you’re out of there.

Easy breezy.

So:

Comment “solution” if you guys want that information.
I’ll write it here on the board one more time for you—

And I gotta take off.

All you gotta do is just write:
 “solution” inside the comments, and we can get you IBD free.

Our goal is:
 In and out in 16 weeks.

It’s that simple.

I gotta fly, guys.
 You’ve been an awesome audience tonight.

Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for watching.

I have such a passion for this stuff.

I watched my mom go through abdominal surgery many years ago—probably 20 years ago—absolutely crushing.

Got a bag put in, had 18 inches of her colon out—was just horrific.

And nobody should have to deal with this.
And you don’t either.
