OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2002

There are over 60 million Americans with chronic digestive disorders. In Digestive Health NOW: The Four Week Plan to Heal, Heartburn, Ulcers, Colitis, IBS and more, Andrew Gaeddert provides a meal plan, recipes, and stress relieving techniques based upon ancient wisdom and the latest scientific discoveries. Included are case studies of people who have been able to reduce or eliminate medication and achieve an understanding of what causes symptoms and how to prevent them from reoccurring. These techniques have helped thousands of people in Mr. Gaeddert's own practice.

Digestive Health NOW was designed to help people who do not have access to holistic providers. It can be used in conjunction with orthodox therapies such as drugs or surgery. When this program is followed faithfully, the program is 80% to 90% effective.

When Andrew Gaeddert was 19 years old he almost died of Crohn's disease, an intestinal inflammatory disorder. As medications either did not work or caused debilitating side effects, he turned to natural therapies including dietary modifications, specific exercises, and herbs to prevent and heal his condition. As a result, Mr. Gaeddert founded Health Concerns, a company providing Chinese herbal formulas and continuing education about the benefits of herbs.

Andrew Gaeddert is a nationally recognized expert on herbal medicine who has previously authored Healing Digestive Disorders and Chinese Herbs in the Western Clinic. He has participated in several scientific studies on herbal medicine sponsored by the NIH Office of Alternative Medicine and the University of California. He has lectured internationally and is a member of several organizations dedicated to integrating herbal medicine into the mainstream. He helped popularize several herbs such as Astragalus and Ganoderma (reishi). He is an authority on herbal safety and herbal alternatives to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
