Try to imagine my being so " gung ho " about SCD for six years and retaining the

patience

to try and explain it when asked about it which is every day.

I console myself by knowing it's a lot easier to describe than ten years of " The

Young and

the Restless. " I have saved several brief and longer explanations of the diet

and how it

works which we use when contacting people we would like to interest.

I also hold up my hand and ask people to imagine my fingers are the microvilli

fringe like

appendages lining the intestinal tract and fold them down to show what happens

when

they get damaged and can't complete the digestive process.
