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.

Lunch, after a very nice hour of yoga with a substitute instructor (who may be brought on permanently): leftover grilled chicken sausages, awesome tossed salad with mustard and garlic vinaigrette. Dessert: sulphur-free dried apricots.

Breakfast: fruit, dccc.

Dinner and a movie, yesterday: grilled (Han's) chicken, garlic and pepper sausages from Wild Oats, tossed salad with an awesome mustard garlic vinaigrette (from The Joy of Cooking) while watching the very funny and spellbinding "Shadow of the Vampire". I really enjoyed this film of a director (Malcovich) making a movie where the actor who plays the vampire (Dafoe) gets very, very involved in his role. But is the actor really an actor..?

I just went out to pick up the mail. It is HOT out! The thermometer reads 106 (and it has been in the shade for the last 4 hours)...

Lunch: leftovers from last night: spicy chicken stir-fry, spinach with garlic. Dessert: a peach and a monster cookie.

As a casual "winter Sunday hiker" (I don't hike the Arizona trails when it gets over 85 degrees, what a wuss..), I have to admire this Mark's hiking stories (click the link to Travels to get there). A link from Mark's site pointed me to a very cool site about Mt. Kilimanjaro (uses Flash very nicely!).
mhs@20:38

Dinner: sauteed spinach with garlic, grilled zucchini, and (more of the) leftover spicy chicken stir-fry; followed by our daily walk around the neighborhood.

Related to the post below, an ethnologue of the languages found in Spain.

Way cool: A group called the Long Now Foundation is leading the effort to build a Rosetta Disk which will contain 1,000 languages engraved upon it, visible to anyone with a magnifying glass and/or a microscope. The Rosetta Project aims to distribute these disks in a special glass sphere to libraries and museums around the world, as well as sell them. The goal is to have "distributed backups" of so many languages which are disappearing each day, and something which can be used far into the future. The glass spheres were developed at the Los Alamos nuclear labs and can withstand salt water, sunlight, and nuclear radiation. This distributed backup system is based upon the archival principle, "lots of copies keep stuff safe". The language samples will be etched into a three-inch nickel disk because today's technology of personal computers, CD-ROMs, Windows operating systems will surely be considered long-lost technologies.

While the Biblical text which was chosen as the basis for each language's inscribed translation has raised some debate, it was selected because it is the most-widely translated text we know of. The chosen text is the first three chapters of the book of Genesis.

A collaborative, Internet-based effort is underway to verify the accuracy of the translations, as well as catalog detailed descriptions, vernacular texts, and audio samples. To learn more about this project be sure to visit the rosettaproject.org.

Breakfast: fruit, dccc. My gut was a bit unhappy this morning in that it felt "heavy" but feels much better since I eliminated. Perhaps the lentil soup for dinner (with nothing else and no after-dinner walk) was a bit much? Oh, and some monster cookies before bedtime..

Dinner, yesterday: see post above. Laura and I went to yoga class last night, the instructor (and her substitute) failed to show up, so the place asked us if we would lead the class! Laura did a wonderful job!!! I was her able "model" and she took us through many asanas, and then I led a few. It was fun!

Lunch: leftover grilled chicken, sauteed kale with garlic.
The lentil soup came out wonderfully..I can't wait for dinner!
mhs@14:14

Breakfast: fruit, nuts, raisins. I'm at home today, so I'll be grazing while I cook lentil soup this morning!

:-( It appears that the large swallowtail caterpillar has been eaten. There is no sign of it anywhere, and no chrysalis anywhere (that I can find). The little baby caterpillar is up to about 4 mm. in length, still a fuzzy black caterpillar.

Dinner: tossed salad, sliced avocado, steamed squash, cauliflower "mashed potatoes", and leftover roasted chicken.

Lunch: middle-eastern style lamb and vegetables, hummus, and some rice. Bad move...it bothered me all afternoon.
mhs@20:27

Breakfast: an apple, dccc, a banana, and two delicious Monster cookies (which my loving wife Laura made last night!!!!!).

Caterpillar update: one of the two caterpillar eggs has hatched. There is a 2 mm. fuzzy black baby caterpillar on our parsley now. It is so small! On the other hand, the larger one has molted its skin at least once since the photo was posted here last week (see the archives) and appears to be ready to enter the chrysalis stage.
