Re: Lee Silsby ASD vitamin power w/ stevia ok

[Guest guest]

Well, I know Elaine objected to stevia. I think it was sort of for reasons

beyond SCD in a way. She didn't necessarily think it had illegal type starches

or sugars in it, but she had looked into it a little bit and found that the

molecule resembled a steriod molecule. Her website just says:

<<Illegal - It's molecular structure resembles a steroid and the effects are

unknown. >>

Then, if you go into the " Knowledge Base " at her site, there is a little more

info.

When she used to participate on the lists, she said she preferred we not use it.

She didn't see why we wouldn't just use saccharin or honey. So, technically,

" officially " , as far as I know it's not legal... in that Elaine never deemed it

to be LEGAL.

If this company says she told them it was legal, I would want to see her

statement in writing to them.... otherwise, I couldn't recommend it to anyone on

the list.

Lee Silsby ASD vitamin power w/ stevia ok

According to their compounding pharmacist. They said they actually

knew Elaine Gottschall and spoke w/ her about this formula before she

died - and that it IS ok/ w. the stevia. I just spoke with them today

(7/17/06)

Strange, as that contradicts info in the book. Oh well. It's a great

vitamin formula, but somehow it's just all confusing.

It has worked for my son, but yet, he still had issues, stimming,

scripting, etc. while using this. Anyone have any thoughts? They say

they sell it to many, many SCD patients.

In the knowledge base it states that if you have to limit honey and

absolutely refuse to use saccharin, you can use stevia. It is also

allowed in supplements because it is in such small amounts, and is much

better than other options.

In doing research, the only other problem I've encountered is that it

can cause a drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Oh, thank you, Sue.... I should have looked further into the knowledge base on

this. I just didn't have time. Was going by what I had last heard.

Well, I talked to them on the phone today. This was per the owner's son. I

suppose I could call back and get it in writing, but it might not be in writing

if they only discussed it verbally with her. I just don't know.

They say they sell it to many who are on the SCD diet, and they label the

product as SCD compliant, so I figured someone here on this list might be using

it w/o problems.
