Dr Albert Snow cures UC too good to be true?

Hi guys
I came across this site https://gicure.com/.

The doc claims he’s the first GI Holistic doctor and he cures UC with very little dietary changes and it’s “very simple”. I’m very skeptical obviously and it seems likes he’s feeding off of those who are ill and desperate but I wanted to see if anyone’s heard of him. Trying to find some legit reviews on him.

It's total nonsense. That person shouldn't call themself a doctor.

Google a little longer and you'll find his State of Florida sex offender registration and medical license revocation.

I’m like you Sarah, I like to investigate all the possibilities even when there are obvious issues with the source, and there have been times when I’ve picked up one little valuable nugget that has helped me. Loved the comment “just send cash” though! Made me laugh

Dr mercola is a wacko I signed up for his newsletter at one point and I got so paranoid and depressed. Everything causes cancer!

In regards to Albert Snow it’s scary hes a registered sex offender in Florida. He does have good reviews On Facebook though and I’ve been reading up on his approach and i agree with some disagree with the rest. He believes UC and IBD in general needs mucosal healing which makes sense bc recent published studies are supporting targeting mucosal healing so I agree with this. So his goal is to achieve while mucosal healing using supplements that work to do that (he seems to be a big advocate for colostrum with probiotics and wormwood). He does this with a low fiber diet so that little work is put on the digestive tract. So that aspect of it I agree with. What I don’t agree is that he says twinkies are okay and processed food is very inflammatory. Obviously this I don’t agree with, I believe in healing as a whole so combining medication with a healthy lifestyle and diet is important. BUT I understand the logic behind the low fiber diet. I have a friend with UC who always went on a low fiber/residue diet to get out of a flare, and it worked! He also claims that once you achieve 100% mucosal healing you’re cured which I’m meh about and I think is deceiving. The author of the SCD book Elaine Gotschall however did claim after being on the diet for a year you can try to slowly try to reintroduce food. Just my two cents!

FaceBook is a safe haven for MD's that has lost their medical licenses. FB does not vet any of the quacks to see if they have a current license. Of course you will find good reviews, made by family, friends & the dr himself, lol. Anyone can write a review.

Haha @ambling

Like huckleberryrapscallion, I too signed up for "Dr." Albert Snow's treatment. What a colossal waste of time and money. Let me explain.
I suffer from a mild case of UC and was impressed by his claim to be able to cure me. The ~$295 one time fee did not seem outrageous. For that money, I had a half hour consultation, was told he would cure me with approximately 90 days give or take a few and then emailed a slew of probiotics and the like to purchase from non e other than a company with whom he created a reseller agreement: Moss Nutrition. Anyways, over 100 days later and my problems have actually gotten worse.
I emailed and called him several times to explain my issues and his responses always skirt around the issues. In other words, he attributes UC to taking antibiotics and these flares have nothing to do with what I eat. This is almost complete nonsense. What about NSAIDS, Alcohol, Stress ...? Those topics are never discussed. What about this new research from Stanford (https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/02/stanford-scientists-link-ulcerative-colitis-to-missing-gut-micro.html) that links UC to a missing gut microbe? It turns out that this microbe, Ruminococcaceae, is a family of obligate anaerobe bacteria which means they die when exposed to oxygen. In order to increase their presence, we have to supplement our diet with ursodeoxycholic acid. Never once is this discussed. Why? Because he will not make any money from his reseller agreement. Moreover, if UC can be cured by increasing Ruminococcaceae in the gut, then why would anyone ever use his services.
To his credit, he did help me to realize that I can cure myself; however, I would have come to this conclusion sooner than later.
I also experienced the same BS behavior that huckleberryrapscallion experienced. This almost I can care less attitude about your problems. This guy is nothing more than a marketer who attended the Seth Godin school of internet marketing or should I say BS. Correction, he is more than just a marketer; he is a sexual offender as well as a tax cheat (https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2001/0305/122.html#453485516341). I will definitely ask for my money back.

He is a registered sex offender. I found this out after he sent me explicit videos of a man ********** yesterday evening. He said he was hacked by his son.... https://www.bailbondshq.com/flsex-inmate-SNOW/79034

I was a patient of his and was very unhappy with his service. He recommends products from a certain website that is a lot more expensive that most and he gets a commission from everything bought. He will tell you that he doesn’t but I called them and they confirmed. He then was very unprofessional when I confronted him about it and quite aggressive. He also wasn’t reading my emails and kept forgetting everything I had discussed with him. This man is a con and continues to be very unprofessional even when he had sent me the video.

I am one of those desperate people. I have lived with ulcerative colitis for over 20 years. My body doesn't like every medication that has been prescribed for me so far. Some give me diarrhea, some stomach cramps. I have been in the hospital several times over flare ups, once for bleeding. When the GI doctor wanted to prescribe medication that severely compromised my immune system in order to get this under control, I contacted Dr. Snow. My insurance has paid out thousands of dollars and I have ingested thousands of dollars of AMA approved medications.

Dr. Snow charged me a one time fee of $295 and I am in touch with him every few weeks via phone. I have spent a little over $1000 on supplements. Now, almost a year later, no raucos medications, not rectal bleeding, no diarrhea, no inflammation. He expects that I will be cured and off prescribed supplements withing a month or so.

It is nice that you want to comment on this, but it sounds like none of you know what you are talking about or have experienced it.

I recommend Dr. Snow highly. For the first time in over 20 years, I have no symptoms.... without compromising my immune system.

Of course Gastro-Interologists don't think this will work. They don't want it to work because there's no money in it.

A registered sex offender with his license revoked touting a cure for UC, what could possibly go wrong, lo.. Just keep sending him the money.
