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 Unfortunately, much of conventional medicine is still stuck in the outdated notion that diet has little to do with disease.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.

  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.

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.."

  "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."
  
• Dr. Gordon Greenberg Mount Sinai Hospital 600 University Avenue, Rm. 445 Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X5 Phone: (416) 586-4727 "Excellent GI. He does not recommend the SCD to his patients but he is not opposed to it either."

I was under her care as a resident when I was at Mt. Sinai a couple of years ago for a 2 week stay, and she was extremely thorough, compassionate, and respectful of my concerns."

• Dr. Van Hoogenhuize of Bradford, 76 Holland W., Bradford, Ontario Phone: (905) 775-2976
  "A doctor who I consulted at one time. He is an MD, but not a GI, and he is definitely a holistic doc. 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: Dr. William Van Hoogenhuize
• Dr. Kathleen Kerr who is at Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto.
  "She is familiar with the SCD and she was recommended to me by someone who knew of her very successful treatment of a colleague's sister who had crohn's. She uses IV nutrients, dietary manipulation, etc."
• Dr. Magdy Elkashab 1664 Dufferin Street (at St. Clair) Toronto 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."

• Dra. 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."
