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.

Ready to get your shit together? Got the intestinal fortitude? Yearning for a nirvana of peristalsis? Buy Breaking The Vicious Cycle! Written by Elaine Gottschall B.A., M.Sc., the book includes guidelines for dietary relief and sustainable remission of Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, and other IBDs.

Dinner: grilled turkey burgers, steamed artichokes, and a tossed salad with a dressing of raw organic apple cider and flax seed oil.

According to Listen To Your Gut, essential fatty acids (EFAs) have been proven to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, especially for IBD. While the source of the oils is often a controversy (toxicity in some fish oils), organic flax seed oil is a wonderful way to get one's daily intake of the benefits of Omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Lunch: a delicious tossed salad and a veggie burger from Trader Joes. Note: these burgers are awesome, but not really "scd-legal". Dine at your own discretion. :-)

I've been up all night (couldn't sleep). So, for the last hour or so, I was out in the backyard watching shooting stars and trying to identify constellations and galaxies. It was really beautiful! But it's going to be a long day..

Marc Reiser, the author of Cadillac Desert, passed away from colon cancer over the weekend; he was in his early fifties. Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, documents the history of the struggle to discover and control water in the American West. A tale of rivers diverted and damned, political corruption and intrigue, billion-dollar battles over water rights, and economic and ecological disaster. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
