A Regimen for Remission
This log tracks my regimen of attitude, exercise, stress management, and SCD foods. Since I started this regimen in 1997, I've been able to keep my Crohn's in a drug-free remission.

Monkey-see,
monkey-don't
Even though I may have experimented beyond the SCD from time to time, one must remember that everyone is different. Follow the intro diet for 3-5 days, and stick with the SCD until you are completely symptom free for at least one year before experimenting.

I saw two desert hares while I was on my early-morning walk today. Wow, they are huge! The tops of their ears looked to be almost two feet tall with all four feet on the ground!

If you are a long-time reader of Flog, then you're probably aware that I eat organic and free-range foods whenever possible. Why poison my body with genetically modified crap and pesticides? We need to stop the companies that are poisoning our bodies.

Breakfast: apples and cantaloupe.

No more fish and chips?! In today's email from Grist magazine: "environmentalists are warning that Britain's culinary claim to fame, fish and chips, could disappear unless the nation does a better job of managing its marine resources. The World Wildlife Fund says stocks of cod, the traditional accompaniment to fried potatoes, are being severely depleted because of overfishing, pollution, and rising ocean temperatures. The group is calling for some sea areas to be put off-limits to fishing boats. WWF's Matthew Davis: "This isn't just a threat to ocean wildlife, it's a threat to our cultural heritage."

Why does my computer run on Linux?!
In addition to what I've already written on this site, this interesting article by "..an unemployed professional bum; [who] spends his days trying to break his system so that he has something to fix, or putting together puzzles.." may shed some light on the situation.

In my Inbox this evening:
Hi Mike,

I ran across your SCD stuff today sort of by accident. I was cruising around Blogger and yours happened to be one that was updated today so I was looking at it.

My mother has Crohn's disease, has had it for as long as I can remember. I know it gives her fits all the time, but as cases go, I think she is probably luckier than most. But I was delighted to accidentally discover the SCD information so I can pass it on to her.

Thanks for making all that information available. I hope it will help her. - Wendy

For those that are wondering what Linux is and why I think it is so cool, check this screenshot out: Lavender- it is of a theme by Largo, running in WindowMaker. Linux is so much more stable than Windows, so much more fun, and I think it's just much more visive.

For the last 5 hours I have been updating the Research section of scdiet.org's site. Check it out!

Check this out:
An article on 7/13/2000 in The Washington Post contains interesting research indicating that the causes of disease were not genetic, but rather, environment. While the research dealt primarily with cancers, much of it may also be of assistance in understanding IBD.
