RE: Article on new drug treatment for bowel disease

August 23, 2009

Not all sugars are bad, one should remember. Ribose is a very

essential sugar for the body’s producing of energy. And fruits contain mixtures

of fructose, glucose and sucrose, the combination/percentage depending on the

fruit. On the other hand, xylan is apparently a polysaccharide (found in some

plant cell walls). But on the other, other hand, not all polysaccharides are

bad. Most vegetables contain some level of non-starch polysaccharides. (And the

seed legumes – some of which are legal on the SCD -- contain polysaccharides

in the form of starches.)

Personally, I don’t think I would so easily dismiss this possible

treatment. Sounds like a considerably better approach than anybody’s come

up with so far – apart from being on the SCD and taking LDN. (But the

SCD, and even the SCD with LDN, doesn’t help everybody.)

I found this in another story about this potential new

treatment:

>It

might be possible to do a short, one-time bacteria dosing regimen that would

establish a permanent colony of the genetically engineered bacteria. Another

option would be >to establish a temporary colony, repeating those treatments

This is really good news- to think there might be some good alternatives to the

drugs used for IBD ( besides SCD )Some people are not interested in diet- even

if it would help them. It's also exciting to see research into bacterial flora-

because it validates SCD.
