M.D.'s and medical practitioners |
Arizona
- Dr.
Brian Cabin, M.D., in Tucson, AZ.
According to Sheila
Shea, "he tells people about SCD and BTVC.
He knows the benefits from personal experience with
it. And a colleague and sport buddy of his, an eye doctor,
got on it and benefitted and knows what to do. Dr. Cabin
deals more with intestinal issues in his practice and
Paul, the eye doc, does not."
California
- Dr.
Damian Augustyn San Francisco CA area, tel: (415) 923-3059
According to Alpaslan, "He is not opposed to the
diet. He agrees that it has helped me. He encourages
me to continue with the diet. I suppose that makes him
SCD-friendly. However, he does not provide any specific
dietary advice. He says each person's dietary needs
are different. He claims you have to find out for yourself
which foods agree with you which foods don't. Of course
with Elaine's help I was able to answer that question.
Is he SCD friendly? You would have to judge that for
yourself. I like him because he is intelligent. I have
been seeing him for the past 4 years. And I am on the
SCD for 2+ years. The SCD helped me immediately. Within
24 hrs the nausea was gone. Within 2 weeks the D stopped
and I started putting on weight. These were monumental
changes as far as I am concerned. I was no longer scared
to lose my gut, and no longer afraid for my life.
- Dr
Graeme Shaw, Los Altos, CA (650) 947-6700. Per Mary
Holford in San Jose, CA.

Beach, CA 92663 Phone (949) 631-2670
According to Steve Case, "He asked how I was doing
and I told him "the best in years". He asked what I
attributed the improvement to and I told him the SCD.
He asked if I would like to come to the local CCF chapter
meeting and share my thoughts on the diet..."
- Dr.
Janice M. Alden, The Working Body, Oakland, CA 94610
(510) 286-8100
Per Keri Klein, "My chiropractor said today that
it's fine to add her information to our list of scd-friendly
doctors. She "discovered" BTVC for me (I was her first
patient to try SCD) and now has one other patient following
SCD with positive results. She is a wonderful, warm
person who listens and has "healing hands." Her office
also provides Pilates, personal training and massage."

acupuncture and oriental medicine.)"

it to some patients (he went to medical school in Switzerland
so I believe he is better trained in healthful living
than some)."
- Janene

Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (310) 614-820.

sleep. It works on all organs in the abdomen and helps
me sleep better. She will be reading the book and is
very interested in helping people on the diet."

the Vicious Cycle", and the web site. She also
prescribed certain supplements. She is so wonderful
and supportive! For the past 11 years, she always had
pointed us in the right direction."
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."
A detailed explanation of the clinic's
success was posted to the listserve on May 16, 2000.
Illinois
- Dr.
Bennett Plotnick, Rush North Shore Medical Center, Kenton
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."

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
- Thanks to the SCD, I don't see him very often!!!"

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."

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."
