I dealt with hyperthyroidism, and there is an allopathic - allopathic! nothing alt about this at all - medication that can let the thyroid heal, leaving patients with an intact, functioning thyroid. Yet doctors prefer to nuke the thyroid leaving patients hypo and dependent on meds and their doctors' competence (or lack of it) for life. One thing hyperthyroidism does is mess up the patient's brain - s/he is anxious, overtired from insomnia and much more. It is really hard to wrap one's mind around such a statistic, that 80% of drs eschew the most benign, least invasive treatment (anti thyroid drugs) for something so life-altering (radioactive ablation of the thyroid). It is a real mystery, and even the least cynical person has to wonder how much money plays a role in things. As one GI I spoke with told me - I'm involved with SCD for IBD* - clinical tests of SCD won't happen because there's no money in it for anyone. I guess all we can do is spread the word, as un-heavy-handedly as possible. Take care, Fay *SCD for IBD would be an excellent name for a rock band or a political slogan.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Antoinette, I wish you luck on your visit. The important thing is that you know it's working and you are choosing to heal your family. You are an inspiration to us all. kikijabunce ajbunce@...> wrote: To ALL, Why is it that so many don't see this SCD for the solution that it is?

We go to the grandparents for the first time since starting SCD thirty days ago....I do not look forward to it in the least. They think we are " fanatical " alright...but not in the since that Elaine said in her BTVC book!

So much skeptism so much doubt..(I know we are not alone here...Carol has already voiced her frustration with trying to get Oprah Winfrey's attention, when we started).....you know what some have already said (some meaning both doctors, family and friends): " it is just a conincidence....we knew she (KiKi) would talk when she was ready!

It is probably because they only see us every few months...but still...they don't belive us when we talk to them. My mother in law became defensive with the potential Label " ASD " , thinking that her evaluator from Developmental Pediatrics had gone mad...and that we need to ignore her opinion....and even get a new doctor...that she doesn't have Celiac DIsease! I became use to hearing that " It runs in the familyh to be thin, short and all of us had speech problems that need therapy.

So now that we heal it is just a " coincidence " ...or wishful thinking on our part...they will all learn hope. My sister is one of the sickest (chronic yeast infections, thrush, IBS, diarrhea, constant pain when she eats, epelepsy, memory problems, chronic fatigue, depression and asthma)...yet guess what?....it sadens my heart to the core......she is the one that is in the most denial out of all of them! Like us her celiac panel was negative...her doctor said that there was not chance that she had Celiac Disease and didn't understand how we could...he wouldn't talk to our GI specialist that understands this Loop HOLE! Sent her home...to suffer some more.....she will not take my word as validation that she has this....she said that she likes the way she eats! Go figure...like my dad says " you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink " ...the thing is I know they ae thirsty...some strange form of insanity.
