Some people heal with SCD and meds. But there are darn few, if any, that I have encountered in the last seven years who healed on meds alone. >> Anyway, I'm thrilled! And the doctor is even more supportive of the diet. << You have every right to be thrilled! Three steps forward, two steps back, three steps forward, two steps back... and the difference between the forward and the back ultimately adds up!
