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.

IBD and IBS news: following a "let's mask the symptoms so the patient will feel better" mindset, the effects on pain receptors by chili peppers is under investigation in the UK and in Canada. The goal: a drug to block the pain stimuli. Cheaper solution: if it hurts, don't eat it!

Breakfast: fruit, SCD yogurt.

Wouldn't it be great if all our leaders were like Linus Torvalds (Just for Fun: The Story Of An Accidental Revolutionary), i.e, with a sense of humor about others and themselves, passionate about their vision but detached enough to let it grow?
