Please Be Careful In Discussions

[Guest guest]

Folks,

I think I'm going to have to request a reduction in the

" speculation " because it is clear, once again, from the

off-list emails I'm getting that it is seriously confusing newcomers and

not-so-newcomers.

Dealing with my Mom's Passing and the upcoming Christmas Insanity Retail

Season, I don't have time to go through and answer all the comments and

observations in terms of SCD the way I would like to.

FACT: we humans have lots of bacteria in our guts.

FACT: Science is only just beginning to understand what a few of them

do.

FACT: Elaine chose s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus, and L. acidophilus

(and later l. caseii) for our SCD yogurt because they are well-studied,

and she knew that, unlike bifidus strains, they were unlikely to

overgrow.

FACT: We know SCD works. While it's intriguing to speculate on the WHY

from time to time, we are primarily focused on the implementation of SCD

in our daily lives.

Like I said, I'm not forbidding discussion of this nature. I'm just

asking that you all be careful of how you phrase things so that you do

not confuse new folk who are still trying to wrap their heads around the

complexities of SCD.
