Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Dear CCFA, You have ignored each of my several communications regarding errors in various quoted comments of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It is not a low carb diet. As well, Dr. Loftus decsription of SCD as a low calorie diet is incorrect. Legumes like beans and lentils must be presoaked and cooked before being used in recipes to process the harmful starch. legumes are considered an advanced food. Most diet regimes require long term dedication and commitment and SCD is not different in that respect. Some of your statements about the diet are accurate as the fact that there have been no major studies, but there is a plethora of favorable anectdotal evidence. No one suggests abandoning prescribed medication but as healing progresses in many cases it can be reduced and sometimes discontinued under proper medical supervision. I realize it is your job to assess diets for C & C but you have a moral obligation to be accurate. I would appreciate it if you would acknowledge receipt of my email just once and respond to the points I made.
