Moderator's Request

[Guest guest]

This is not directed specifically at , or Steve, or any one else.

However, I am posting this as a warning that people who insist on

recommending SCD-illegal items will find themselves on moderation.

This is also a warning to people who post recipes -- please do not post a

recipe which contains illegals and then say at the bottom " Oh,

change the sugar to honey.... use lentils instead of quinoa....

whatever.... " Make sure the recipe you are posting contains NO

illegals, even if you have to re-type it yourself. (If you make a

mistake, delete the incorrect recipe, and repost a corrected

version.)

" Being on moderation " means your messages will be held in a

queue until a moderator can look at it, and decide if the message is

appropriate for this group. If it is not appropriate, it will be deleted,

or you will be informed that you must reword the message.

All moderators and long term SCDers volunteer many hours of their time

here to help people learn how to get well, using SCD.

We get very, very frustrated when we spend hours on this, only to have

someone say, " Oh, but xyz MUST be legal... I saw it in a

recipe! "

We also get frustrated when, weeks or months later, someone comes back

and says, " I took that probiotic so-and-so was so passionate about,

and now I'm having a flare! And it won't quit, and I ended up in the

emergency room, and obviously, SCD doesn't work! " And that probiotic

is often something like the VSL#3 which has recently been under

discussion. It isn't SCD which doesn't work -- it's the way some people

implement it.

Therapies which are, in the opinion of the moderators, complementary to

SCD, are open for discussion on this list.

Flatly, none of the moderators want to put anyone on moderation. It makes

more work for us.

I'm actually quite a bit more relaxed about what's allowed than the owner

of the original SCD list in her heyday. But she had a point about one

thing. You don't walk into someone's house and trash it, unless you're a

troll. Most smokers wouldn't light up in a non-smoker's house. This

is a No SCD-Illegals Allowed home on the web... please be courteous, and

honor the house rules.

Thanks for understanding -- this is an intelligent and energetic group

who are dedicated to healing. And we will!
