The existence of the new disease won't be questioned while the cure will be debated and challenged indefinitely. So, I guess it's up to us to find the cure...Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790885338130319104.post-4895486524114743682008-12-02T18:50:00.000-08:002008-12-02T18:50:00.000-08:00yeah that was put very well :)yeah that was put very well :)Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021045504617718082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790885338130319104.post-78806867287986700222008-12-16T13:03:00.000-08:002008-12-16T13:03:00.000-08:00A few thoughts on this post... 1)I disagree with y...A few thoughts on this post... 1)I disagree with you that finding the cause is not important. Two of my children have a genetic enzyme deficiency called CSID --Congenital Sucrase Isomltase Deficiency (considered rare at this time) that can lead to diseases such as Crohn's if not diagnosed. The medical world knows very little about this disorder, but they do know that mostly people of European descent have to get the disorder from both parents. What if you had the same disorder and started eating the right foods at 2, 5, or 10 years old? You may have never had to go through the pain and other factors associated with Crohn's. <br> 2) I do agree that using money to research medications is a waste, when so many people have found relief through healthy food choices, which do not have side affects. They should be spending all their efforts researching success stories like you and my kids, who are doing awesome, despite their inability to digest sugars and starches.<br><br>I think it is great that there are young people out there trying to do whatever they can to feel better and share their experiences to help other people! In this time of a self-help, self-focused society, you bring me hope that not everyone has settled for the 'me' mentality!Roanne LeRainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11947608876703042468noreply@blogger.com
