things to see what is missing in your body-very helpful!

foods. He will talk to you about the results and then

changes. He knows about SCD diet, but is not as well
informed as one would hope. He does have vitamins that

Florida
- Patrick
Purdue, D.O.M. Seminole, FL 33776, tel: (727) 319-8819
Rachel Turet posted this introduction on behalf of Purdue:
"I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine practicing
in the State of Florida. I was frustrated with the the
slow response I was getting with patients suffering
from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis,
and so on. A lot of what we had to offer was superior
to the drug approach, in that we were able to make some
positive improvements rather than only the "managing
symptoms" approach offered by conventional medicine
with drugs like prednisone. However, symptoms such as
abdominal bloating and discomfort still plagued many
of my patients. I had the opportunity to hear an interview
with Elaine Gottschall a few years ago, read "Breaking
The Vicious Cycle," and began using this diet as the
cornerstone to the majority of my gut disease patients.
It transformed my practice. Between using various Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulas, targeted nutritional
supplements where appropriate, acupuncture as needed,
and various other protocols, many patients have been
saved from a lifetime of misery. I cannot express how
grateful I am to Elaine Gottschall and the valuable
research she has contributed. Unfortunately, much of
conventional medicine is still stuck in the outdated
notion that diet has little to do with disease. I'm
glad that people like Elaine Gottschall has enabled
practitioners like me to offer hope to those dissatisfied
with "the system." I would be happy to answer any questions
to anyone curious about what I do in my clinic."

Building, Skokie, IL 60076, tel: 847-674-2087
According to Holly, "He is 100% MD but 100% dedicated
to seeing you get well. He is very well known in the
area (north suburbs). He only prescribes medicine, but
he is open to you doing anything and supporting you
throught it. He knows that I opted for SCD, acupuncture,
and chinese herbs over Remicade and 6MP, and he knows
someone who got well on "the other book."
Best of all is his bedside manner - once I called to
ask him about a symptom and then went on a business
trip without getting to talk to him - he called me back
regularly for two weeks to try to get a hold of me -
he even called on a Sunday!!! And he's the Director
of Gastroenterology at the Hospital - a very busy man!
It will take over a month to get an appt, but it's worth
it, I think. Then again, I never had any other gastro.
And the Rush North Shore Gastro team has a high ranking:
U.S. News and World Report ranked Rush North Shore Medical
Center among the top 50 hospitals in the country for
the treatment of digestive disorders in its 2002 "America's
Best Hospitals" edition."

wishy-washy ("if you want to do it, I won't stop
you"). No docs at Children's were recommended (not
that there aren't any who are pro-SCD there, just maybe
no one on this list sees them). There is also a nutritionist
at MGH who works w. families implementing the SC diet.
She is in Waltham." (Note: recent email in 2012 indicate some of these doctors at MGH may have slightly different opinions of the SCD than when this post was first noted on the SCD support group. Call the doctors to learn more.)

on the hospital premises
- He listens
- He doesn't push medication unless it's absolutely
necessary
- He believes medication is a last resort which only
treats the symptoms and not the underlying cause of
the disease, and encourages patients who wish to find
other methods of improving their health (such as in
my case, the SCD
- Unlike many other doctors, he doesn't belittle the
SCD and treat me condescendingly for following it; instead
he encourages me to keep it up when he sees how much
it helps me)
- He's not an an ego trip
- He's gentle
- He's a gentleman
- He was highly recommended by another patient who followed
the SCD

Itzkowitz, Guggenheim Hall 11th Floor, 5 East 98th Street,
New York, 10029-6574 tel: 212-241-4299 According to
Doug, "What I like about Dr. Itzkowitz is that
he's very thorough and he takes time with you to explain
and discuss things. He is not a proponent of SCD, but
is willing to admit that he has patients who swear by
it. He did not discourage me from trying it, just said
that it's hard to maintain over the long term. When,
after four months on the SCD, almost all my ulceration
had disappeared, I jokingly said to him that I imagined
he thought the diet had nothing to do with it, and he
jokingly said that it "could have been the medication
too".. knowing that I'd been on the medication
for three years to no good effect. The point being that
he's not negative about alternative treatments. I like
him because he's responsive and communicative.."

- no perfume, cologne, aftershave or any scented products
are permitted on your body, hair, or clothing in our

travel from all over the world to see him for these
treatments. SCD still helps because it eliminates a
lot of foods that people like me become sensitive to
first."

"A doctor of traditional chinese medicine, he learned
about the SCD from one of his patients (Janice), and
read BTVC, watched a video I had of Elaine on Dini Petty.
He had worked at Princess Margaret Hospital on cancer
research for 10 years so is well able to evaluate Elaine's
scientific references. He was impressed. I think very
highly of Dr. Yeh; he is very cautious, and very conservative
in his approach."

He specializes in allergy and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
patients, and he uses the SCD extensively in his practice
for IBD and for many other conditions, with good success
according to what he told me. He is fairly eccentric,
but I don't mind eccentric people if they are good at
what they do and honest with me." Contact info:

416-652-0606
According to Tanya, "I was finally diagnosed with
Crohn's last December, after two years of becoming progressively
more ill. I saw my gastroenterologist last week and
it was one of the most empowering encounters with a
doctor I have ever had. His name is Dr. Magdy Elkashab.
Although he doesn't subscribe to any specific diet,
when I told him about SCD he expressed that I should
listen to what my body is telling me - that as long
as SCD covered all the bases nutritionally, if I was
feeling better being on it then I should stick with
it. He also thought the list was a great idea, particularly
since patients with Crohn's and colitis can have such
varied experiences. Dr. Elkashab is affiliated with
Mt. Sinai."

Maria Jesus Clavera, Ps Lluis Companys 12, 5a-1a. 08019
Barcelona, Spain., Tel. 0034 93 485-6666. According
to Patricia, "Dr. Clavera is one of those doctors
you don't believe exist anymore. She takes the time
to listen attentively and explains everything in detail
(it's not unusual to spend 1.5 hours with her in a regular
consultation if you need it). Very conscious on the
importance of the gut in general health she recommends
dietary interventions -SCD included- as well as improvements
in the quality of the products we consume. She places
great importance on organic products and good water
for example. Another thing I've found very helpful is
her knowledge of excipients in medications and supplements.
No risk of hidden fructose or soy or whatever in what
she prescribes. A peditrician by formation she has also
studied natural medicine (orthomolecular) and is in
practice with a microbiologist. In the last years she
has taken a special interest in ASD and has been treating
with very good results almost 50 children, including
my little Lorena, well on her way to recovery. She follows
the DAN protocol using natural products wherever possible.
She also consults with adults as needed and has a thirst
for knowledge that is a pleasure to experience."
