Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Dear Hope and Family, Congratulations on your choice to help your family with SCD TM diet! If I had one suggestion....get your BTVC book and highlight it head to toe. Learn what the books says and trust it. Book mark it and memorize it. Read testimonials that support what works and go for it with 100% conviction for a minimum of one month to four, with no interventions other than what is outlined in the book. GOOD LUCK! We have truly never felt better...we are four months out and truly SCD keepers! Our autistic daughter is truly better in such a short time. I look forward to seeing you on the serve! God Bless you, and your LUCKY KIDS! Antoinette and ( both celiac/add/asd) parents to -4 (celiac adhd rages) Kiki-2 (celiac autistic) and Bubbles -1 (Hyperekplexia) All of us SCD 2/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
