RE: Fw SCD and Chelation

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

We did little of the tests that our DAN! wanted us too. We only did the gut

flora test (and now wish we had saved our money)...SCD fixed what was wrong. We

frustrated him too...because he had many grand ideas that would have cost my

family thousands. In a way we are lucky we could not afford him...we where

forced to trust SCD alone.

This is all we take:

SCD safe multi-vitamin

SCD safe B complex

B12 nasal spray (better if you can get the injections)

Calcium Supplement

Cod Liver Oil (Green Patures, Carlson's, or Nordic Naturals are all free of

heavy metals)

Evening Penrose Oil

SCD safe Acidophilus

PLUS (most important):

Lots of good and clean SCD foods. Making sure to eat plenty of green foods

(gently steamed and cooked at first). We stuck to the stages on Pecan Bread as

best we could. WE also made it an important goal to go ahead and try the

yogurt. We came GFCF but started with the yogurt as outlined in Elaine's btvc

book. We first started with goat and we dripped it for a few months. This

removes the extra sugars that cause havoc for some of us in the start. Now we

can tolerate cow just fine...but we are 13 months out. We still stay away from

the dry curd, peanuts, dry legumes and cashews. Just too hard to digest for my

family, even at 12 months out. A personal choice...but one that works for us

well....we also do not eat many baked goods. It is truly a treat only...not a

every day thing. Elaine told us to limit our baked goods...and we do.

Even though I love " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " we did not take her

suggestions about the probiotics. This is the only place in the book where she

strays from Elaine's SCD convictions. WE chose to trust Elaine G. WE do not

use the bifidus containing probiotics or the soil based organisms. We

tried...and it blew up in our face. BEWARE, since GAPS book brought you to

SCD...the bifidus can mutate...it sure did something funny with me and our

daughter. This is what Elaine says:

My entire family (with exception of adopted one) are all Celiac. Out of all five

of us, our daughter still struggles the most (she was " blessed " with the

seizures and autism)...but compared to one year ago....even the results for her

are amazing. We are in for this for the long hall....we will never eat the

SADiet again. SAD stands for STANDARD AMERICAN DIET for those who do not know.

One year of healing for us is not enough....it will be for a life time. We

wouldn't do this if it was not working. God bless your healing journey.

Sincerely, Antoinette and family of five (SCD 2/06)
