RE: Donn Jo--SCD-friendly docs in Nashville--Omaha?

February 13, 2006

Hello, Donna Jo--

I seriously doubt that Vanderbilt will support anything like this--I've

taken my little boy there when I attended graduate school there. They are a

very strictly researched-based sort of place. But, I knew I was right, and

you know you are right. I'm very sorry for your little boy's stomach

problems--mine has lots, too.

Does anyone know of any docs/others doing the diet in Omaha?

Take care,
