I'm on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). It took a couple of years and my Crohn's isn't as severe as yours, but it put me into remission. Although it doesn't work for everybody, maybe it can help you feel better. At least there are no side effects. The SCD is from a book called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" and has an official website at www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info<BR/><BR/>Good luck with Prop 2.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Paul Stocker<BR/>eatingSCD.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-3171206668786019262008-10-24T01:05:00.000-04:002008-10-24T01:05:00.000-04:00Hi Gene -You can visit the CureMichigan website (l...Hi Gene -<BR/><BR/>You can visit the CureMichigan website (link provided in this post) or you can call their office - 517.708.3450<BR/><BR/>Thanks for helping out!!LiberalLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371870959392924977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-11666484213898423332008-10-22T15:11:00.000-04:002008-10-22T15:11:00.000-04:00Who do i contact to get a yard sign to show my sup...Who do i contact to get a yard sign to show my support of prop 2?<BR/><BR/>I have been in support of stem cell research since i learned about it in detail through Christopher Reeves.<BR/><BR/>I sent an email to minda_nyquist@yahoo.com, but is there someone I can call to get my sign up ASAP?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469880585432970031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-41423132029874319572008-10-19T13:08:00.000-04:002008-10-19T13:08:00.000-04:00Thanks!!

I've lived with Crohn's Disease for almost 15 years, so I'm very concerned about the issue of stem cell research here in Michigan. <BR/><BR/>You can catch me on Twitter as well - http://twitter.com/liberallucy and I'm one of the front-pagers over at MichiganLiberal.com where I do a lot of blogging about this as well. <BR/><BR/>I hope to see you there!!LiberalLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371870959392924977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-30392685889337457762008-10-19T10:35:00.000-04:002008-10-19T10:35:00.000-04:00Thank you!

It's my parents' house, and while they support Prop 2, they're not really big on yard signs of any kind. I'll definately link the YouTube video around, though. Finally saw it on TV last night!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I don't mean to be having a whole conversation in your comments section, but- I got linked to this post through Twitter, so I only just realized that not only had you been posting about this before, you were at the same event, lol. But it was awesome- and I love your blog! I've read lots of liberal blogs, but very few talking about these local issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-14389626663037535002008-10-18T21:58:00.000-04:002008-10-18T21:58:00.000-04:00Thanks Caitlin, I couldn't agree with you. Please ...Thanks Caitlin, I couldn't agree with you. <BR/><BR/>Please send Laura's YouTube video to everyone you know and encourage them to vote YES on Prop 2. <BR/><BR/>If you'd like some yard signs to counter the mass of information in your hometown, contact the CureMichigan folks, and they'll make sure to get you some right away!LiberalLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371870959392924977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35949983.post-48467288813197422942008-10-18T19:25:00.000-04:002008-10-18T19:25:00.000-04:00I am a member of the College Democrats on our camp...I am a member of the College Democrats on our campus. Last week, I was drawn into a completely last-minute opportunity to see former president Bill Clinton speak at an event on behalf of Proposal 2. Laura was there too, and I can tell you that hearing her story and seeing her in real life is even more powerful than in that video. And then this weekend, I came home to my conservative home town to see "Prop 2 Goes 2 Far" signs alongside many of the multitude of McCain/Palin ones. I think the fact they use chatspeak in their slogan is a good sign of the thinking power on their side. They went from false accusations about taxes to completely absurd ones composed of slippery slope logical fallacies. They ignore the fact that the vast majority of other states in the nation who use the policies they claim are too extreme are not, in fact, performing alarming experiments that will mutate science. The science simply provides a use for embryos that will be thrown out anyway- a use that can help countless people like Laura and others suffering from things that have touched us all. These people, claiming to be concerned about morals, are putting embryos not only equal to, but above living, breathing, human beings. It's an insult to everyone who values life as it should be. Ending diseases and helping people walk again is going "2 Far"? I won't be the one to say that, and I can't imagine anyone who calls themself "pro-life" would be, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
