Please don't leave this list serve. I for one need all of you. I

am one that does not rely on conventional med. as we do not have the

availabliliy of a DANS doc. When I talk to our family dr well I

think he shudders when he knows that I am coming in. I do not bend

to the thinking of just take a pill and this is many times upsetting.

I feel that I am very new. I have much to learn. I need to learn

from all of you.

I also know that sometimes it is more than my brain can handle and I

just don't read some posts. This has cost me at times as I come in

to a thread in the middle and am lost.

I came to the conclussion quite a while ago that there will be no

ONE thing that will be the key for our son. It is a combination of

things that works together. Diet has been the most life changing

for him and the most difficult for our family but the peace we have

is worth everything it takes to make these changes.

Many of you are doing things that I am not familiar with and most of

which I have no access to. Some things are things that I probly

would choose to not do but this doesn't mean they are wrong it just

means that for what ever reason it is not what I feel to do at the

time.

Elaine Gottschall and Dr Hass were wonderful people who pioneered

this work. They are dead. Their work will continue to live as such

but it will also continue to have new discoveries. They did not

know it all, only God knows it all.

I know as most of you do that it is easy to get excited when we see

our children come alive with joy and wonderment. I have seen most

of you rejoice with others, myself included, when something knew

happens with one of our little people. If we alow one or two

posters to destroy this board because of single sitedness it will be

said. Can we just not respond to them and continue on with the ones

that want to learn?

Please hear the 'tone' that I am 'speaking' as it is not critical or

angry just desparate as if this board goes down I have lost my main

support for SCD. My extended family doesn't get it. My church

thinks I am extreem. My friends smile and go on with their lives.

This is ok but I really need the support I have gotten here.

Be blessed
