Stan Kurtz's Caveman Diet; newbie explosion

[Guest guest]

Hi, Ladies,

Mimi, could you help me out by " ruling " whether we can talk about Stan Kurtz's

Caveman Diet, or if we need to squelch it? Kathy keeps suggesting it to newbies

having trouble (and boy are there a lot of newbies right now!) but it is not

legal. It might be a good approach for autism. But " white vegetables " are

scary (potatoes???).

Sheila, I hope you and your kids are feeling better.

I thought that the white veggies on CD were cauliflower, white

asparagus, onions, etc...i didn;t realize that potatoes were legal on

that diet....

I certainly don't know. But when you go the the website and all it

says in the list of things to do is to consume " green and white

vegetables " it leaves a lot open to interpretation and possible

misunderstanding.

Yikes! I'm sure potatoes are not legal! Maybe we could contact Stan and ask

him to write it more clearly. The point in suggesting the caveman is that some

moms start with eggs, carrots, tomatoes, many foods that kids can be sensitive

to. Stan is a great supporter of SCD and so am I. That the wording on the

webpage causes confusion is a point worth making.

I also have a lot of respect for Stan. I agree with his recommendation to drink

pure water and eat organic foods if you can afford it. I have a

different point of view

regarding some of his other recommendations.

I hope that we can one day we can work this out.

I forgot to add that I also agree with Stan's position concerning

fruit and vegetable juices.

We added this to our website in February:

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/protocol1.html

" Raw fruit and vegetable juices may be given when the worst digestive

symptoms subside.

The juices must be made using a traditional juicer that extracts the

fibrous parts. Blenders

and Vitamix should not be used in preparing juices that will be

consumed by beginners as

they retain the fiber. Juices should always be diluted with water.

This does not apply to tomato juice. "
