Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America
If only the CCFA would provide information regarding the success so many have found with alternative treatments such as the SCD! This organization is so pharma-, surguery- and traditional medicine focused, their site should be a dot-com. Nevertheless, the CCFA site contains quite a bit of valuable information on IBD. Also, many have found local CCFA chapters/members to be more open to the SCD than the national organization.

To Bart from Elaine "What a complement you pay to call CCFA cell biologists for working on the microcelluar level... [If you want to learn about] work done re bacteria or enteric flora and also probiotics as relating to IBD. Dr. Ebringer's work in England, it has been going on for over 10 years with the autoimmune hypothesis and Crohn's and RA. [The] CCFA should be ashamed of themselves for not keeping up and suggesting a diet which works in at least 75% of the time. They do not need that much micro cellular work as they do hands-on controlled work. But it is so hard to do and they know it. ... They would have people eating under controlled conditions but cheating when they got out of the hospital setting [thereby ruining any positive results]. The [patients] would have to be tied to the hospital bedpost to do this correctly. In BTVC I have referred to Dr. F.C. Dohan on page 158 ref 8 who actually did patient work (psychiatric) on a diet very much like SCD but not giving molecular explanations for the foods eliminated. These people were locked up in the psychiatric ward and were sent their food. THIS IS WHY I HAVE BEEN SO DISGUSTED WITH CCFA EVERYTIME SOMEONE ASKS THEM ABOUT THE SCD: Their answer is IT HAS NOT BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED! Well, here is their chance if they want to remain credible. Love, Elaine"
