We followed “The Makers Diet” per Dr. Mercola after our son was injured after receiving his 22 mos. M.M.R vaccination. Shortly after this M.M.R he developed leaky gut which is prone to colitis or crohn’s disease. Our son was 4 yrs old at the time and had suffered severe stomach pain, nausea and also lost so much weight due to the M.M.R vaccine. We followed the diet for 2 years and he now is healed from the leaky gut. Our son is now 10 yrs old and is a healthy almost stocky built young boy. He rarely ever gets sick when others around him have viruses and flu’s. As a family we still today follow some of these old principals in our daily diets as probiotics, Cod liver oil, coconut oil and eat only organic fruits and veggies. It may cost more for groceries but it pays off as our Son has not seen a medical doctor since he was 22 mos. THANK GOD FOR THE MAKERS DIET!

I started on this diet 3 years ago because I was desparate to find a cure to my chronic ulcerative colitis. I had been on high-dose steroids and hospitalized many times to get it under control. My condition became very grave and we were afraid I was not going to make it another year. Amazingly, within a few weeks of changing to the Maker’s Diet my symptoms all but diappeared. I have enjoyed 3 solid years of remission from the colitis symptoms. Praise God for His goodness and kind instruction!

Frankly, I think that while interesting this debate is rather old, and anyone that has thoroughly studied the bible (for example, in a basic college course) is likely to have formed their own opinions regardless of what anyone else says to them. Now on to the diet….I have had a severe digestive disorder for 2 years now that is has general symptoms of IBS, but bouts of extreme weight loss, bowel issues, inability to eat, and occasionally bleeding and vomiting. It’s horrible and has yet gone improperly diagnosed but I believe that it is the beginnings of chrones or colitis due to both my ancestry and extreme symptoms. I’m pretty much done with doctors as they tell me the same things over and over and I now have sooo many medical bills and no diagnosis. What I CAN tell you however, is that all of my symptoms get better with a very similar diet including: No fried foods, No cow’s milk dairy, no yeast, nothing processed and very little sugar. Based on these things I think regardless of your spirituality or lack thereof, this diet is right on course.

To “remain nameless”, your quote is erroneous, “everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected” IF IT IS SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAYER. The problem is that this is MISQUOTED so often by those “whose God is there belly and their damnation just” (Paul to the Romans). Peters vision was not an authorization to eat that which was common or unclean, but rather an admonition for him to stop treating gentiles like they were pigs. That which had been made clean were not pigs (as anyone who has seen one can see) but rather that gentiles had been cleansed at the cross. The laws of health never changed.

Strange that he should call it the makers diet and yet include meat. My Bible says in Genesis that the original diet didn’t include meat. He avoids Pork and shell fish which is correct according to Genesis, Exodus, and the last chapter of Isaiah, but misses the fact that unless the blood is properly drained from the animal and the fat carefully removed, even beef is considered unclean (kosher slaughter follows strict rules). I don’t doubt the success stories of a few, but more would benefit if they followed the plan more closely than this half way attempt.

The Maker’s Diet is not a vegetarian diet. Dr Rubin recommends that you eat healthy meats. Know what you are talking about before you try to criticize something.

The Maker’s Diet is the only thing that has worked for healing my GI and I believe it is because many of the principles were taken from the Bible.I couldn’t let the comments section end on the former comments. The Bible verses that anonymous was referring to was 1 Cor. 8:10-13 and it is talking about meat used in ritual sacrifices. Some people’s convictions were not to eat meat sacrificed to other gods. If you think that you are better because you eat meat or do not eat meat, you have completely missed the point of the Bible. It’s not about food, it’s about the free gift of salvation through Jesus. That being said, let me leave you with 1 Tim. 4: 1-4: “But the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate <>, which God has created to gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude.”
