How to do SCD (and why this protocol works!)

I released My SCD® Protocol for broad access just last month. The response and feedback has been tremendous. I am so grateful to all who embarked on their journey to better health.

Here's what Philip, a previous follower of SCD, said after accessing My SCD® Protocol.

"The Specific Carbohydrate diet is one of the biggest undertakings I've started, but also one of the most important for my health. After many attempts, failures, and restarts, My SCD® Protocol lays out the step-by-step process that ensures success with the diet. You start off simply, then move forward with more advanced foods and corresponding recipes, all at your own pace. This is the follow up to Elaine Gottschall's book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, that has been desperately needed for the SCD community."

Is your mask good enough for Delta?
The Delta variant is far more contagious than the original coronavirus, so the density of virus in the air is greater. “Given the delta variant that’s out there, you probably need to upgrade your mask,” Dr. Ashish Jha, a leading COVID expert and dean of the Brown University School of Public Health.
A fully vaccinated person, he said, would likely get adequate protection by wearing a cloth face covering for brief periods indoors when the venue is not at capacity.
Raina MacIntyre, head of the biosecurity research program at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, who has conducted many studies on masks, said it is “possible to design a high-performing cloth mask.” An experimental lab study she co-authored found a layered cloth mask can effectively block droplets.
The study, published in May in the journal ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, recommends using a minimum of three layers — a combination of cotton/linen and polyester/nylon — to resemble the droplet-blocking performance of surgical masks.
Not only is layering important to improve filtration but so is fit. A CDC-recommended technique for improving the fit of either a cloth or surgical mask is knotting the straps and tucking the sides.
“We find very strong evidence that surgical masks are effective,” added Jason Abaluck, an economist at Yale who helped lead a study of mask wearing in 340,000 adults in rural Bangladesh for eight weeks.
“When I saw those results, I threw away my cloth mask,” said Stephen Luby, a co-author of the study and professor of infectious disease at Stanford University. “If delta is circulating and if you’re going to wear a mask, why don’t you wear one that the data tell you is good?”
“My read of that is that cloth masks are probably somewhat effective. They are probably better than nothing.”
I think I am going to retire my old mask.
Have any of you upgraded your masks? Or are more rigorous about wearing them in highly exposed areas?

Delta, currently the primary variant in the United States, is far more contagious than the original coronavirus, so the density of virus in the air is greater. Some experts have adjusted their mask advice proportionally.

I'm excited to share this first behind-the-scenes peek at "My SCD Protocol".

It's now available for you to use, on your own, at your own pace, to make amazing progress with SCD. Take a look at the tools, the content, and the resources that will help you succeed with SCD.

A limited number of IBD patients have been using it for the past 6 months. I'll be sharing some of their results in a separate post.
