| Jini Patel Thompson was diagnosed with widespread Crohn's Disease in 1986. For the next three years she adhered to medical treatment protocols until it became clear they were not helping her. She spent the next seven years researching and experimenting with alternative healing methods and therapies as she lived and worked in Canada, Japan and England. Jini has since remained drug and surgery-free for over 15 years. She continues to manage her symptoms and heal flare-ups using the natural methods described in Listen To Your Gut and The IBD Remission Diet.
Jini Patel Thompson has a Bachelor's degree in English and Sociology from the University of Alberta (1989). She then worked as a journalist and magazine editor in Tokyo, Japan for two years, followed by three years in the music business in London, U.K. She then set up a telecommunications company in Vancouver, BC, sold it five years later and started a publishing company. Her health articles have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers throughout North America, Europe and Australia and she has appeared on radio and TV shows in the U.S. Jini currently runs her own publishing/consulting business and travels often throughout North America, Asia and Europe. Jini lives with her husband and two children in White Rock, BC.
