you must be missing your friend yet glad the illness was not

protracted

yes i could pick elianes ongoing research after her leaving elaines

children through occasional moderator posts that looked somewhat

verbatim elaine gottschall with something new in.

the main problem at the moment is that scd is losing ground to an

amalgam of of relaxed gfcf and enzymes

i can't address this issue from within this board

and i am also weary

the golden rule of posting is to serve yourself when you post and use

it to extend your knowledge

otherwise you don't survive

Sigh, Oh , how many times Mimi and I discuss this business of " losing

ground " to

other diets. It's sad to think dietary intervention is a foot race or based on

fads. Two years

ago it was the BED and before that some modifued form of SCD . Some of those who

were

the most outspoken supporters occasionally ended up with a sicker child or

decided to

return to SCD.

SCD cannot actively aim at conversion of those who want to formulate their own

versions

of the diet. At Elaine's memorial we were reminded that BTVC has sold over a

million

copies and is translated into seven languages. Hundreds of testimonials to its

success

poured in to Elaine's family and people spoke about how their lives were saved

by the diet.

This group started with just a handful of parents and the diet must have done

something

right to attract so many. It stands on its own good record and Mimi has stated

the case

beautifully in her current series of posts.

If we expend all our energy trying to be competitive with other diets we lose

momentum

for advancing SCD.

And if someone else finds success with another diet that is not SCD who would

deny them

that victory?

The fact that dietary intervention was discovered to be an aid to treating

autism has set us

on a path from which there is no turning back. Those that believe in the science

behind

SCD and are willing to do the work have great hope of success.

I am sure that is the aim of people creating other diets, but for me and up to

now, SCD has

proved to be the real deal!

Well put. SCD is not a theory to me to be argued and debated and modified or

whatever, in my life, SCD is a fact
