Re: Pecanbread is safe, informative , and progressive

[Guest guest]

While it's not good to get too far off topic... there is alot of sound,

complimentary treatment info, members have to offer here...

the recent problem had to do with the discussion being too narrow,...

Pecanbread is progressive... parents need help... this is a safe place to put

out a feeler...

For example, earlier today someone asked about convergence... that kind of

thing should be allowed and encouraged ...

We all understand it's largely about SCD... but desparate mothers need help

and support, and I've seen Jody and others rise to the occasion, on a regular

basis, to keep a kid/mother from falling into the crack of, and walking around

in ignorance.

I would add a suggestion. This kind of thing happened on another forum that I

belong to. We are all quite close there but arguements do arise from time to

time and also topics that are way off topic. We created an alternate message

board site. We can then say, " meet me over on the " alt " list. " It was the place

that I learned about SCD in the first place.

The other thing that I think feels important to me is the moderator's role in

curbing such discussions that sound offensive and set a tone that other people

are not comfortable with. I made the mistake of talking about other diets and

alternative remedies on here and was " caught " by the moderator. I think we do

have to adhere to some rules here because there are so many of us. I have been

willing to use this board as a way to learn about SCD. I have found some

helpful people here who can help me off list with other treatments, options,

etc. One thing that was told to me by the moderator was that a discussion about

alternative treaments can be confusing to newbies. I think the converse could

be true too. I think most newbies, myself not included because I had questions

about how relevant the diet was for us, have adopted the SCDiet and want to know

about the logistics of it. I don't think they want to join a discussion about

the philosophy of it. I've learned this

lesson myself with my own inappropriate questioning of the diet.

But there are some people who need to go through the thought process of

discussion. I learned a lot from the enzyme discussion but I think I agree,

that this isn't the place to discuss in too much depth. I see it as the job of

the sages of this list or any other knowledgeable person to point each other in

the right direction when our topics are a little offlist or non-SCD topics.

THat's my two cents. You all have been so helpful to me as well. I hate to

see so many people discouraged as of late. We all deal with our own stress at

home. We deserve to come to cyber land for support and empathy.

Peace to you all. You are all beautiful souls and we are all in this boat

together no matter what our situation is.

Warmly,

gwen

I like to think of it as a foundation of scd that we all use to build upon

, I agree. I know that I ask some pretty off topic questions

but they are still dealing with my children and how to do the best I

can with SCD. I believe the problem was not being able to accept

anothers experience and growth with SCD. There is things discust

here that I don't implament with my kids. That doesn't mean they

should not be allowed, it means I am making a choice to not use what

ever for now.
