Re: intro SCD

[Guest guest]

,

I am not planning to do the into part either. Just jumping right in

for time issues. We are in the same boat as you (gut/metals) but

since you are already seeing improvements I would think you would

just need to make sure the diet is rounded out because his fancy for

fruit. I am interested on hearing what the rest of the peanut

gallery has to say... Please keep us posted on Buttar, we are

using metal free with iv glut. at this point and I would like to

give the TD a go.

Clinical tests do indicate Leaky Gut and metals in his system

are a problem. While on the SCD, he does have a penchant for eating

the raw fruits. Given ph's current situation is it necessary to

go back and do the intro diet. In the following week he will start

Dr. Rashid Buttar's chelation protocol to address the issues with

lead and mercury. Correa

Welcome!!!

Lots of parents do not do the intro diet, it isn't necessary. But

definately keep it in the back of your head should you hit some kind

of road block or plateau. It's a great way to boost SCD when it seems

as if progression has stopped for a time or if that yeast doesn't seem

to want to go away. Also if you suspect food sensitivities, the intro

can give you a clean slate to reintroduce foods to test to see if they

get a negative reaction.

Watch out for the raw fruit though. It's really hard to digest and

even though you're not doing the intro, using all cooked, peeled fruit

and veggies may give you a better start.

Good luck!
