Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 From Elaine Gottschall: Today I heard that Dr. Merigian, a toxicologist practicing out of Cordova, TN and who has been called in as a consultant by the Government in cases of suspected metal toxicity, is recommending SCD for patients. The patient (who originally contacted Lucy Rosset) and I have just gotten off the phone. Her husband was stricken with what appeared to be a fatal case of heavy metal toxicity while on the job. They travelled from California to Tennessee to see Dr. Merigian. He told the patient that the only thing that could save his life was to go on The Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I spoke to the wife and she says they are enjoying the diet and it appears that her husband is finally coming around. Dr. Merigian said it would be slow but sure. This is very exciting especially for those children who show high mercury and/or lead levels. I have always felt that SCD would detoxify the liver given time and it has proven to avoid a liver transplant in one child with Crohn's disease (there may be others about which I have no knowledge). Needless to say, I am ecstatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 This is an encouraging post. Has anyone ever taken a urine or stool sample from an ASD child whose only therapy right now is the SCD? If not, I may be the first. I would love to see what if anything is coming out.
