Where did fanatical adherance come from???

[Guest guest]

Dear list mates,

I wanted to share where the advice of " fanatical adherance " come

from. It was Elaine herself, and it use to upset me too. I was very

very intimidated by this statement that she makes on pg. 68 in her

BTVC book. It scared us that if we didn't do it right that we would

not have success. Dr. Haas is the one who told her this. She too was

scared at one time if she messed this chance up that her sick daughter

Judy may not heal. Her duaghter was horribly sick in every way

imaginable, psychologicaly, neurologicaly and of course physicaly,

thanks to having a serious intestinal injury that almost took her

life.

Here is the quote from the book written by Elaine herself:

" The strictness of this diet cannot be overemphasized nor should the

difficulty of adhering to it be minimized. Faithful observance

requires intelligence and vigilance on the part of those taking care

of the individual or on the part of the person who cooks for himself

or herself. It is surprising how many times a child will manage,

despite the best supervisioin, to get hold of forbidden food. It is

equally surprising how many parents will decide, despite all warning,

that " just a taste " of ice cream, cookie, or candy will do no harm.

Such infringements will seriously delay recovery and it is unwise to

undertke this regimen unless you are willing to follow it with

fanatical adherence. " From Chapter 9, pg 68 of BTVC book.

When I say " fanatical adherance " over and over again like a broken

record....it is because it is the truth and not my idea, it is because

this is the only way this plan works according to Dr. Haas and Elain

G.

Hope this helps those who wonder where this statement come from.

Warm Regards to all of us who are doing our best to make this thing

work for us.
