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.

Breakfast: homemade applesauce and yogurt with some flax seed oil.

Dinner, yesterday: on Sunday evening we made a delicious Mexican chicken dish; we enjoyed it again on Monday night. It is really tasty! It is a simple sauce made from four ancho chiles soaked in water and pureed and then added to some chicken that is cooked with a paste made from garlic, cumin seed, clove, black pepper, and salt. It is somewhat like a mole sauce, and is wonderful poured over some spaghetti squash.

I spent my college winter semester of 1986 in Madrid. It was an exiting time to be an American in Madrid. Much of the country was protesting the Spanish government's nuptuals with the U.S., especially Reagan, and the courtship of allowing NATO bases in the country. There were manifestations daily, anti-American sentiment was occasionally noticeable (beyond the activists, in the more common-folk). During a visit to Pamplona I discovered a wonderful poster by the Herri Batasuna of "OTAN Ez", or No to NATO. It was a powerful statement, with a drooling bride-Felipe Gonzales receiving a wedding ring from a fang-toothed Reagan, with a cast of characters in the background as the members of the church ceremony, with a little Carerro Blanco-angel floating in the background. As an optimistic college student, I naively wandered around asking for the location of an HB office so I could get a copy of the poster. I ended up having to remove one from a wall of billboards.

This anti-NATO sentiment got even stronger after Spain allowed some of the US bombers and jets to "fly over" Spain during attacks on Libya. Spain feared retaliation; the people wanted peace, not war.

Is ETA responsible for the bombings of March 11th? Perhaps this is the price for assisting the US in the war with Iraq: 11-M, or 11-marzo. Is the "11th" of any month now an auspicious date?

There are upcoming elections in Spain, postponed due to the bombings. It will be interesting to see how these turn after the recent events. Political cartoonists (Forges, Romeu, Máximo, Peridis, and El Roto) capture the sentiments well in El Pais.

Dinner: chicken soup garnished with fresh spinach. Dessert: a banana-walnut-cranberry almond flour muffin.

Lunch: leftover eggplant and sole.

Breakfast: homemade yogurt, applesauce, Lois Lang's nut bread with honey.

OK, dinner last night tasted great but it didn't work. I was up part of the night with D. I think it was the egg, or perhaps poor food combining of egg with spaghetti squash (acidic) and kale (acidic), or perhaps it was the two acidic foods and the egg had nothing to do with it this time (fried eggs and scrambled eggs often bother me).
