I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 25 years ago, and was treated by a wonderful doctor at Princeton Gastroenterology back east. Still, not wanting to take prescription drugs for any length of time, with all their nasty side effects, and finding that they don't prevent future colitis flares which could put me at risk of losing part of my colon one day, I soon took matters into my own hands. After a few years of taking prednisone, I learned about Proper Nutrition's Intestive product at a Mind Body Spirit Expo in the Philadelphia area. I bought it without hesitation, and began taking it while quickly weaning myself off of the prednisone. Despite the fact that my symptoms always returned when I tried to get off prednisone in the past, once I started taking Intestive, they did not. Good thing I found it when I did, because I also no longer had a health plan with prescription coverage.
Over the next ten years I moved from the Princeton area and had a couple of sigmoid and/or colonoscopies with other doctors. They all asked me if I was sure I had ulcerative colitis because they could see no evidence of it at all (yay to Intestive!)... (Of course, to this day, I jokingly refer to colitis as my disease of marriage because the symptoms showed up on my honeymoon and disappeared shortly following my divorce five years later. Still, I know Intestive played a prominent curing role.) It reportedly also works for Crohn's disease and more, without the nasty Rx drug side effects... I have not needed to take anything for many years, but plan to begin taking Intestive again soon, as I have been under a lot of stress of late
This past summer, my mother had a stroke and was diagnosed with leukemia at the same time. She incurred a bedsore wound at the hospital, which three months later is still not healed enough for her to be transferred from a sub-acute facility to an assisted living facility. Doctors have said she needs a lot of protein for it to heal, but she often refuses to eat much of the pureed foods to which she is limited.
Knowing that Proper Nutrition had made a product to help malnourished individuals in 3rd world countries, I called Proper Nutrition and asked Rebecca, who answered my call, to explain the differences between their products and see if any may help my mother. She especially recommended Seacure. Yet, in our conversation, I noted that there seamed to be something in every one of the products that could help each of the many issues my mother is now facing. Thus, I decided to buy one of each, especially since they were on their summer special (buy 3, get 1 free).
To my surprise, when the products arrive, I found that Rebecca had sent an extra bottle of Seacure "on her" with a personal note from her stating that she hoped my mother's health would be improving soon.
This was such a kind and unexpected gesture that touched my heart, and the hearts of my sisters during a period of time in which we were all very stressed.

Answer: Absolutely. I was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis in 1993. It was so bad that even minor sips of water had me in the bathroom, with bloody results in the toilet bowl. Doctors prescribed prednisone, which I took for years. Still, I did not want to take prescription drugs forever, given their nasty side effects. I was also told that, despite taking the drugs, it would be very likely that I would continue to get worse over the years, and I might possibly need to have surgery to remove parts of my intestines and even have to use an external bag to urinate... None of these were pleasant options for a newly married woman in her early 30's. Over the course of a few years, I tried getting off the prednisone, but every time I did, my symptoms would return. Then, I came across a couple of representatives from Proper Nutrition at a booth in a Mind Body Spirit Expo near Philadelphia. They were explaining their products and giving out free samples. I bought Intestive on the spot. Over the course of the next few months, I weaned myself off prednisone while taking Proper Nutrition's Intestive as directed. Viola! No return of colitis symptoms, and subsequent medical exams had doctors doubting that I had ever had colitis because they could see no signs of the disease... Though I haven't had a need to take this product in years, I swear by it, and every few years I occasionally do take it, especially if I am under a lot of stress. No negative side effects. Just a miraculous cure that no prescription drug could provide!
Answer: Their product, Intestive, cured my ulcerative colitis to the point where doctors were in disbelief that I had ever had it to begin with. Yet records at Princeton Gastroenterology would prove otherwise. They also very generously recently sent an extra container of a product I purchased to help my mother after her stroke and diagnosis with leukemia. It was a very kind and unexpected gesture received at a very stressful time for me and my family.
Answer: It is absolutely a legitimate company located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. They have been in business for over 30 years. I began using their products over 20 years ago. I
