I am a GREAT advocate of SCD as it has given me back my health and I am grateful for that. BUT it was definitely not SCD alone that led to my current state of health. Remember if you are on SCD or considering SCD that it is your open mindedness that led you to this site and to try another options. Do not let the diet close your mind again to other options or treatments etc. No system is perfect and there is always room for improvements. I recomend the diet with all of my heart as I believe it will help many people but the diet alone will not heal you. It is important that you make lifesyle changes and research as much as you can, see what worked for other people etc as you are the only person who is in control of taking your health into your own hands.
