A request from the moderator

[Guest guest]

I would like to ask that the list return to supporting those who are

following SCD.

This list has been around for a long time and I don't want to see it

die out because of a disagreement between some of the members of the list.

SCD has helped many people regain their health. We have read their

first-hand testimonials.

Let's focus on supporting each other.

SCD alone works for many people.

Strict adherance to SCD, along with additional supplements has worked

for many people.

I don't mind when other therapy options for ASD kids are mentioned,

but let's keep in mind that this list is not purely a list for ASD kids.

In-depth discussions of therapy options would probably be best if done

off-list or on a list that deals with the specific topic. There are

lists for HBOT, chelation, enzymes, ABA, VBA, Floortime, RDI, and

probably 100+ other ASD related topics.

Let's also keep in mind that there are over 2400 people subscribed to

this list. It is a great place to ask questions, post updates and

support each other. Just as the description of the list says.

The " tone " of a written message sent by someone who is a stranger, is

virtually impossible to determine with accuracy. What one person

perceives as " curt and short " is viewed by someone else as " accurate

and concise " . What one person views as " long-winded " is viewed by

someone else as " detailed " .

So, let's return our focus to supporting each other, knowing full well

that no two people (ASD or otherwise) have the exact same issues.

There is probably not a one-size-fits-all solution. But since this is

an SCD list, let's assume that the one thing we all have in common is

the Specific Carbohydrate Diet- and following it to the very best of

our abilities.
