A Journey to Health:  Overcoming Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Kindle Edition)
Larry K. Hartsfield, PhD
2011

It is a privilege to note that Professor Hartsfield, of Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, is a patient of Dr. Gerstenberger at Digestive Health Associates, PC.

“This book describes the process of healing from an auto-immune illness, specifically Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The author discusses both traditional and alternative treatments. The book details extensive research into illness and healing and reviews what worked and didn’t work for the author in his quest to heal from what are traditionally viewed as chronic, incurable, lifelong diseases. The suggestions here are targeted for Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and other auto-immune diseases but should also be helpful to those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome or digestive problems. Using an ecological viewpoint that explores an individual’s health as the center of larger food, drug, and medical systems, the author focuses on the role that food choices, additives, and the modern western diet play in health as well as noting specific foods and food additives that contribute to Inflammatory Bowel Disease and other auto-immune diseases.”
