Anklylosing Spondylitis and Diet: Best Damn Pot Roast
This is seriously my favorite pot roast recipe ever. I’ve adopted a recipe I originally found on the great Mark Sisson’s website and have made it my own. The spice rub is Mark’s, but the rest is my own take. Give it a try and you’ll never look at pot roast the same way again. [...]

For those of you who think that your dietary cure to Ankylosing Spondylitis has to be a long, boring story filled with dry-as-sand chicken breast and iceberg lettuce or bacon and eggs every day I beg to differ.

Keep Your Balls in Check
There is a tendency to TRY EVERYTHING when searching for a cure for ankylosing spondylitis. That’s fine in theory, but if in executing this idea you try everything at once then how will you know for sure which single thing is working? Having 5 new balls in the air all of a sudden is difficult [...]
Diet Can Cure Disease
Many people who suffer from ankylosing spondylitis stumble on this website as they search for alternatives to powerful and potentially harmful drugs like Humera, Remicade, and painkillers. I often find myself answering email inquiries from confused AS patients asking a version of the same question: Is this for real? Can diet really cure my disease? [...]
Half a cow
I was listening to the radio while driving the other day and heard a story about how one of our biggest exports here in Colorado is beef. Seems several Asian countries just can’t get enough of the stuff. I’m with them. Just last week we took delivery of an entire side of grassfed, local, Colorado [...]
Vegetarians and Heel-Strikers
One of the great benefits of having been diagnosed with a supposedly incurable autoimmune disease is the sense of empowerment which comes from curing yourself of said incurable disease. Fuck you very much doc, I fixed this myself! The most wonderful things can happen when you stop believing what people are telling you and start [...]
Crawl, Walk, Fly
If it’s on the web, then it must be true. Right? Danger, Will Robinson, danger! Once again, inspiration for this post comes from the greatest ankylosing spondylitis website around. A writer made a point the other day about not making the no-starch diet so effing complicated- specifically, don’t turn every single little rule or personal [...]
Just Start Already
I’ve read a few recent posts over on my favorite ankylosing spondylitis support website where the questioners seem to have a massive case of analysis paralysis. A few folks even seem defeated before they start on the no-starch diet. Ridiculous. Folks, you’re making this too complicated. Stick with the big picture and I promise all [...]
About this website
My name is Bob Connors and I have successfully treated my autoimmune disease, ankylosing spondylitis, using a No-Starch diet. Why not use your seemingly awful diagnosis (incurable genetic disorder...fun!) as an opportunity to realize your own optimal health? I'm 100% medication-free and am using diet alone to control my AS. I've become stronger and healthier than I ever was before my diagnosis by adhering to a whole foods (if you can't kill it or pick it, don't eat it!) diet and healthy lifestyle. If you have spinal fusions then unfortunately the damage is irreversible, but I'm living proof that diet can be used to avoid any further flares. So, in effect, you will have cured yourself of AS. Read on and feel free to email with any questions, or submit a question above in the "General Questions" tab and I'll answer asap. I honestly see my AS diagnosis as net positive on my life. Good Luck! Bob Connors bobconnors@gmail.com
