Dear Elaine,
Happy birthday from myself, and my family and especially my nine year old autistic daughter. She has many food allergies, colitis and other GI issues but your diet has helped her tremendously. We thank you so much and appreciate what you are doing to help all of our precious children. Many thanks and have a special day!

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday day to you!
I am so greatful for the time and effort that it you took to discover and write your book. So on your birthday I am wish you many many more and let you know that I know that I have personally passed the word and know of at least 3 people that have tried and have been helped. One person at a time is all that we can ask for.
Thanks for all that you have done.

Dear Elaine
May God bless you on your special day. The diet, which I believe He led you to and now so many of us, is beginning my healing after a lifetime of bowel problems, hormonal imbalance (32 years), colitis (25 yrs) and chronic fatigue snydrome (10 yrs). My 7-yr-old son Benjamin is also starting to heal from colitis and ADHD (3 yrs). Life
is beginning to get exciting.
Thank you!

Dear Elaine,
Happy Birthday!! You have been such an incredible blessing to me and my whole family. You have saved me son from autism, SCD™has taken almost all signs of it away. You saved my husband from whatever horrible gut thing he had that the doctors could find no name for and absolutely no cure. You saved my daughter from being an undernourished waiff to being a hefty little wipper snapper. And for me I just feel great, and 20lbs lighter. You are my hero and my role model. I pray that someday I will be able to give back to the world in some way for all that you have done for me. God Bless you.

My Dear Friend Elaine,
Mother, Scientist, Sushi Maven and Impulsive Shopper. Working and playing with you and SCD™has done as much for my heart and mind as it has for my stomach. Here's to healing and upping the maximum on our credit cards. The world is our oyster!

Happy Birthday, Elaine!
What a wonderful gift you have given so many with your book and work! Within 10 minutes of the physician pronouncing that my son had ulcerative colitis and would be on drugs the rest of his life (only 22 at the time!), I went online, discovered Breaking the Vicious Cycle, and moved right ahead. This fall will be three years since his diagnosis; his C-Reactive protein test shows no inflammation and he feels great despite intensive hours in investment banking. I tell everyone experiencing inflammatory bowel disorders about you and your book. My son spends time on UC chat lines letting people know about the diet. Thanks so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Elaine!
May you celebrate in style.
Thank you so much for all the gifts you've given to all of us. I'll be turning 50 later this month, and want you to know that you inspire me greatly..... to take life on, make big plans and accomplish great things in my next 50 years. :)
warmly,
Patti Durovchic.... and Katera, too

 
     
  Happy birthday Elaine!
An old Mexican saying says that to achieve inmortality you need to
1. Have a child
2. Plant a tree
3. Write a book
You have not only had a child but saved it and by writing a book you have saved probably many more. I'm planting a tree in your honor for your birthday, but believe me, you have already achieved immortality!
Thank you for all your work and for the health of my family and friends.
