Substantial healing (was: Re: Re: Stomach Gurgle)

I was very intimidated about asking for LDN. I knew my local doctors would never

consider it. I drove 2 hours to see a more alternative doc who gave me my first

prescription. Unfortunately, he was hard to reach by phone and I could not drive

2 hours each way for follow ups and refills, so I used one who did consultations

by phone. I believe the LDN list serve has such a list- that's where I got the

information to find one. I still go to my regular docs for health care, but

choose not to discuss LDN- they would toss me out of their offices.

I never thought I would do this by phone- as I was always very traditional about

medicine, but it went very well, was legitimate and professional, and best of

all, not intimidating. For me, I feel I have to make some decisions, like diet

and LDN on my own. It is good to be informed.

also. I watch the posts. I read when it relates to Crohns/Colitis. I read the

questions, have been doing this for awhile--several months. I still haven't

made a decision regarding it. It's just me. I want to know all there is to

know before I get it. No doctor locally will prescribe it. I think it's better

to watch and get as much feedback when it comes to something you are totally

unfamiliar with. I won't even post how long it took to try SCD--that's because

it was an investment and included watching Foodnetwork, learning to make yogurt,

how to cook much more than fried chicken (at the time). It seemed way too

overwhelming. Then someone told me how much he relied on it for several years

and I decided to try it.

I get those Archway macaroons every single year.  I've already received a bag--it's like everyone has heard this.  There is a recipe by Martha for macaroons that is sooo good.  Have to sub the sugar for honey and keep the water running because it's so sticky.
