Re: Fruit and honey

[Guest guest]

Hi , Hi ,

I thought I'd put in my two cents worth.

Our experience has been that the only

fruit we've ever had problems with has

been apples. (I guess we need to keep

reminding ourselves to cut the peels off

thickly enough to eliminate the pectin.)

Our Gen has trouble with any more than one

apple per day. Otherwise, fruit has been

his favorite treat! (He's even requested

a decorative fruit platter instead of an

SCD birthday cake when birthday time

came around.)

With honey, we've had enough trouble

that we went and found a nearby beekeeper

who sends us a jar every so often. I suspect

the large brand honey companies no longer

know what goes into the honey they pack.

(Most of it comes from abroad now, and

so it makes it a lot more difficult for them

to keep track of the various different pro-

ducers, and quality. )

The bottom line for us has been that

if something has gone wrong, it usually is

because we've forgotten something in the

protocol, and need to review the material.

Vigilance! Starve those nasty gutbugs!

Christy, remember that doing IgG food allergy test is going to show positive

because she has digestion problems. I've included another post so you can read

what Elaine had to say about it. Your best bet is to follow SCD fanatically and

see how much improvement you'll get. Pearl

__,_.Hi ,

Below are comments by Elaine about allergies. This does not apply to

allergies that produce anaphylactic reactions. Testing for

improvements to these type of reactions should be done in a doctor's

office.

If the allergy test stated " cow's milk " , then it would not apply to

goat's milk. However, over the 45 years I have been involved with

allergy testing, I have found it to be very, very inaccurate. I am not

saying that one should ignore it all, but as a child remains on SCD,

the allergies fade away.

I remember case after case of people getting well on SCD and feeling

that they wanted doctor supervision to give them support nonetheless.

During the first few years, I recommended some holistic doctors who

appeared to support my work. Invariably, the patient would call back

in tears. Why! Because they were showing tremendous improvement on SCD

and they were testing positive to all the foods they had been eating

and upon which they were getting well.

Just let me add my two cents.

With all due credit to the allergists (they were the first in the

medical profession to look at food as the culprit in so many

disorders), they, for some reason (not scientific) decided that

allergies are based on proteins (and parts of proteins like peptides).

Therefore, all that emerged from them for the last 25 years had to

fall into the gluten (protein) and casein (protein) categories.

They stuck to their guns in spite of the growing body of evidence

which showed us about autoimmunity and the role of bacteria in

creating the autoimmune condition. And the role of feeding these

bacteria and yeast on a surplus of carbohydrates in the incubation

tank of the gut (the colon).

But the whole world of gluten had taken on a life of its own! Again,

those who wish to follow GF/CF and are finding relief, well, that

speaks for itself. For those who need more, there is always SCD.

This reply is a bit slow in comming but: When the allergy testing is done, a

protein that somehow resembles a food is exposed to the blood. The blood reacts

and the test is noted as positive. However, in a properly working gut, the

blood should never see a protein that resembles a food; the blood should only

see completely digested amino acids, carbs, glucose molecules, fatty acids, etc.

So, that is why many autistic children have an improvement in their IgG testing

once their gut has healed. The IgG testing is a good starting point, but

hopefully many of the items on the list can be added back once the gut has

healed. For example, my son tested positive for bananas. These were easily

tolerated after a few weeks on SCD. I hope this helps.
