CANCER CARE
"An online support group is very much like a 'face to face' support group - it usually numbers between 6 and 12 people, who have been through or are facing a similar situation, and have come together to share their experiences, learn from each other, and provide each other with a setting of emotional support."

NIDDK: NATIONAL INSTITUE OF DIABETES AND DIGESTIVE AND KIDNEY DISEASES
"The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We conduct and
support biomedical research, disseminating research findings and health
information to the public. We are part of the U.S. Government, under the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)."

SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATE DIET
"There are specific carbohydrates which are trouble makers in the digestive system, especially to those people suffering from Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS and Celiac. The purpose of the SCD is to eliminate these carbohydrates and cause a healthy, natural, controlled remission."
