SCD faced very hard challentges for getting acceptance in the Autism

Community. We were regarded as wild and dangerous folks who

advocated dairy and very few supplements. We faced intense

opposition. The only reason that we got recognition is because so

many parents became wildly excited about SCD and would not leave

their DAN doctors alone until SCD was approved by the DAN doctors.

Please share your excitement of SCD;only by sharing our stories can

we influence other parents to do this wonderful diet!

I am also aware that different children get different rates of

recovery with SCD. In the beginning,my daughter responded so much

faster to SCD than did my son. It was due to the fact that she is a

girl,is four years younger and has a much milder case of ASD than

her brother. My son was 17 when he started SCD and I quickly gave up

any hope that SCD would help his ASD symptoms... I just expected

help for his extreme low weight,

However,my son has one advantage: his 100% compliance with the diet.

The sister was the opposite:she broke the diet and was able to sneak

food about once a week. After 4 years,my son surpassed my daughter

and became the sibling that was less autistic. For my family,strict

adherence to SCD is more important than gender,age or severity of

autism.

I used to give free SCD counseling and found out that every child

can increase their success with SCD by following certain tips. I

hope to post them soon.

The only thing that is 100% fixed is dying.

The species would not be able to survive without a scrambling of brain genes

generation to generation. Otherwise, the way I die, would be the way my child

dies, through exact same reasoning processes and similar environmental reaction.

unfortuntely in my ignorance i abscribe over emotional to yeast

its only logic, insight and observation that has carrried me to where

i am today (with some luck)

scd is a moving field, its hard to have 100% compliance of something

that is not 100% fixed

Looking for ward to you post of tips.

SCD is a lot of work and I think when you see the results of your

child coming out of his or her black hole it is difficult to not be

excited. My son is not ASD but has had severe emotional problems

and when I first saw the awesome little boy that I knew he is come

out of the dark child he was I could hardly contain myself. I

wanted everyone who has problems in these areas to start the diet.

I have learned that everyone for their own reasons is not going to

go on SCD. Some have reasons that are reasonable, many are just not

ready to give up their god, Junk Food, not even for the well being

of their child. I have learned that they each have to make their

own choice and live with them even if it is a raging child.

Be blessed for all you do here.

Mimi said: Antoinette is not the only one who gets overly emotional about SCD.

Dr Sidney Baker, the most famous DAN doctor, also gave SCD rave

reviews during his talk at the DAN conference a few years ago.

Thank you Mimi, and Jody for backing me up. It is hard not to get emotional

when one witnessed a literal miracle happening in their home. I pray that all

can have this success. Even our DAN! is excited ( Kucera M.D.). He calls

Elaine " Dr. Gottschall " ! She would have loved this compliment! I wish I could

have met this lady. I thank her eternally for bringing my daughter back to us.

KiKi in just 3 short months on SCDiet (following it by the book), had her two

year old visit with her pediatrician. She has gone from the 5% in weight to the

15%! YEAH....she has gone from the 50% in Head Circumference to the 75%! She

also went one shoe size bigger! She never smiled, never talked and now she

laughs and babbles! Along with many autistic traits vanishing, it is hard not

to get excited. Both the DAN! and pediatrician are just amazed. We have done

nothing BUT SCD...no other interventions.

I do realize that we are all unique here, but the new-comer needs to know that

they could be one of us. I hope that they realize that they, need to give this

diet a chance before jumping into expensive enzymes, chelation, anti-fungal

prescriptions, and expensive gadgets. They may not be needed, and worse may

hinder success of the SCDiet as promoted by Elaine.

God Bless all, Antoinette (mother of 2 year old celiac/autistic, healing when no

other way worked)
