Linda’s comments: It is difficult for me to understand why more doctors don’t understand how bad gluten is? If they can’t label them with Celiac disease, then what, you can eat gluten….NOT…. Chronically ill patients even healthy patients for that matter, needs to get gluten out of their lives….They also need to stop eating GMO FOODS…..
Dr. Gordon’s Comments:
WSJ says the new epidemic is gluten sensitivity and it is different than celiac disease but is now being blamed for multiple common symptoms. It is not easy to live gluten free since it seems to be everywhere. See The Gluten Connection by Shari Lieberman and others on Amazon.
As this Mayo doctor suggests, something is “triggering” this new epidemic. I believe it could be GMO foods changing bowel flora and leading to leaky gut. I take my Beyond Fiber and a good probiotic like Kyodophilus 9 every day!
This article can add years to your patients lives since unless they have diagnosed celiac disease most have no idea what gluten is doing to their health even the brain!! This article can wake patients up to the importance of the food in my F.I.G.H.T. program, as most patients have one or more foods that are blocking their recovery and dairy and wheat avoidance are at the top of my suggested dietary changes in any chronically ill patient. But, without this kind of documentation, most patients will not comply.

Gluten: What You Don’t Know Might Kill You
Dr Mark Hyman
SOMETHING YOU’RE EATING may be killing you, and you probably don’t even know it! If you eat cheeseburgers or French fries all the time or drink six sodas a day, you likely know you are shortening your life. But eating a nice dark, crunchy slice of whole wheat bread–how could that be bad for you? Well, bread contains gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and oats. It is hidden in pizza, pasta, bread, wraps, rolls, and most processed foods. Clearly, gluten is a staple of the American diet. What most people don’t know is that gluten can cause serious health complications for many. You may be at risk even if you don’t have full blown celiac disease. I want to reveal the truth about gluten, explain the dangers, and provide you with a simple system that will help you determine whether or not gluten is a problem for you.

Gluten sensitive? Here’s why
By Melinda Beck
Lisa Rayburn felt dizzy, bloated and exhausted. Wynn Avocette suffered migraines and body aches. Stephanie Meade’s 4-year-old daughter had constipation and threw temper tantrums.
All three tested negative for celiac disease, a severe intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.
But after their doctors ruled out other causes, all three adults did their own research and cut gluten—and saw the symptoms subside. A new study in the journal BMC Medicine may shed some light on why. It shows gluten can set off a distinct reaction in the intestines and the immune system, even in people who don’t have celiac disease.

Linda’s comment: “Now choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder???”…..WHO IS NUTS HERE??? It appears as though MonSATAN is spending a lot of money opposing what those of us, who have a clue have figured out!! We are TIRED of being poisoned…
It is very simple….find an organic farmer (check them out make sure they are truly organic), or begin your own garden, which can be done on your patio, and DO NOT BUY GMO FOODS…We are lucky here in Arizona that we have lots of organic foods that we can find at several dozen Farmer’s Market’s……It isn’t a mental disease to NOT want to eat the poisons??!!!
However, “nervous about eating correctly” is something that the entire world needs to think about. Yes, making those right choices in food is NOT a disease but a SMART shopper. How insulting that they are calling my good choices a “disease”….<looking in the mirror> Do they see STUPID stamped on my forehead?
This kind of BS about mental disease is proving one thing to me, WE ARE WINNING the battle by demanding that the food industry STOP poisoning us…Again, I remind you that you can have a garden on your small patio’s….they now have hanging veggie plants, or you can use a big clay pot, and now many are buying organic hay bales to plant food in….all of these things fit nicely on your own patios, even if you live in apartments.
To those that are forced to eat the GMO foods, you need to consider getting on a lifelong daily detox program to help neutralize the GMO, pesticides, herbicides and toxins you are eating. I try and find as many organic restaurants as I can find (and the Phoenix area is growing big time for organic restaurants), but when I can’t eat organically, I make sure I am taking my FIGHT protocol to help neutralize the garbage I am forced to eat……I have been on this program for over 1 1/2 years and I will stay on it. It allows me to eat in public restaurants that are not organic.
Bottom-line, DO NOT FALL FOR THIS IDEA OF A NEW DISEASE….it is just another way to get you to continue to eat the garbage they are forcing on us….just remember this, IF YOU DON’T BUY IT, THEN THIS WILL FORCE THE FOOD INDUSTRY TO MAKE CHANGES…..Don’t let them DUMB you down!!
Here’s to HEALTHY EATING….Linda
Excerpt:
In its never-ending attempt to fabricate “mental disorders” out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: Healthy eating disorder.
This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, “Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder” and goes on to claim this “disease” is called orthorexia nervosa — which is basically just Latin for “nervous about correct eating.”
But they can’t just called it “nervous healthy eating disorder” because that doesn’t sound like they know what they’re talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds smart (even though it isn’t). That’s where most disease names come from: Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with a name like osteoporosis (which means “bones with holes in them”).
Getting back to this fabricated “orthorexia” disease, the Guardian goes on to report, “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”
Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there’s something wrong with you.
But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be “normal?” If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that’s okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic, natural foods, apparently.
What is “normal” when it comes to foods?
I told you this was coming. Years ago, I warned NaturalNews readers that an attempt might soon be under way to outlaw broccoli because of its anti-cancer phytonutrients. This mental health assault on health-conscious consumers is part of that agenda. It’s an effort to marginalize healthy eaters by declaring them to be mentally unstable and therefore justify carting them off to mental institutions where they will be injected with psychiatric drugs and fed institutional food that’s all processed, dead and full of toxic chemicals.
The Guardian even goes to the ridiculous extreme of saying, “The obsession about which foods are “good” and which are “bad” means orthorexics can end up malnourished.”

Vitamin C improves Gout! I have attended a high level conference on MYCOTOXINS in our environment and the research was very powerful. These substances like AFLOTOXINS that we all consume from our diet, including corn and wheat were shown to be a major contributor to Gout.
We all forget the high dose Vitamin C is a major detoxifier, as when it leaves the body it is always carrying toxins with it. So the more that leaves the lower the toxin load will be! Somehow when we get excited about what high dose IV Ascorbic Acid can do, we forget we all live on a toxic planet and our patients need the oral forms of Ascorbic Acid TOO on a daily basis, ideally for life, to get the full benefits Ascorbic Acid supplementation can provide.

March 10, 2009 — Vitamin C supplementation may help prevent gout, according to the results of a prospective study reported in the March 9 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
“Several metabolic studies and a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial have shown that higher vitamin C intake significantly reduces serum uric acid levels,” write Hyon K. Choi, MD, DrPH, from Vancouver General Hospital and University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and colleagues. “Yet the relation with risk of gout is unknown.”
From 1986 through 2006, the investigators evaluated the association between vitamin C intake and the risk for incident gout in 46,994 male participants who had no history of gout at baseline. American College of Rheumatology criteria for gout were determined by a supplementary questionnaire, and validated questionnaires administered every 4 years examined vitamin C intake.
There were 1317 confirmed incident cases of gout during 20 years of follow-up. Compared with vitamin C intake less than 250 mg/day, the multivariate relative risk (RR) for gout associated with total vitamin C intake of 500 to 999 mg/day was 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.71 – 0.97). For intake of 1000 to 1499 mg/day, RR was 0.66 (95% CI, 0.52 – 0.86), and for 1500 mg/day or greater, it was 0.55 (95% CI, 0.38 – 0.80; P < .001 for trend). Per 500-mg increase in total daily vitamin C intake, the multivariate RR was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.77 – 0.90).

Linda’s comment: This is so very important for those of us with chronic illness, although if healthy people pay attention they might not become chronically ill. We use to be able to say that if you bought organic, you would be safe and get no GMO, however that is not true today. If you see USDA organic, research it, as I have found during my own research that USDA can not be trusted.
I have found that my lifelong daily detox, helps me tremendously should I happen to ingest some of the GMO poisons. If I eat something that is GMO, I immediately take a handful of Wobenzyme systemic enzyme and it helps to eat up the poison. I use Wobenzyme also on an empty stomach, usually 8-10 3 times daily, and this was a big part of my protocol while fighting the Cancers. Make sure you get the “real” Wobenzyme from Germany and not the wanna-be….read the label…

2009 GM Crop Fact File
ARE GM CROPS TAKING OVER GLOBAL AGRICULTURE?
• GM plantings make up a mere 2.4% of global agricultural crop land
• Nearly 80% of the global area planted to GM crops was in just three countries – the US, Argentina and Brazil
• The US alone plants over 50% of the world’s GM crops
• Less than 3% of cropland in India and China is planted with GM crops, almost exclusively just 1 crop – GM cotton
ARE GM CROPS EXPANDING IN EUROPE?
- In the 27 countries of the European Union, GM crop cultivation represents a mere 0.21% of agricultural land
- The number of hectares of GM crops fell last year in Europe
- EuropaBio inflated the figures for GM crops grown in Europe by almost a quarter to mask the decline in the area of GM crops being grown has actually fallen in Europe every year since 2005.
WHAT GM CROPS ARE BEING GROWN?
- Most investment has gone into a small number of crops and traits targeted toward large-scale commercial farming
- Only four crops – soya, maize, cotton and canola (oilseed rape) – comprise virtually 100% of GM agriculture
- GM rice, wheat, tomatoes, sweetcorn, potatoes and popcorn have all been rejected as unacceptable in the global marketplace
- GM papaya cultivation in Hawaii has been declining over several years.
DO GM CROPS MATCH THE HYPE?

TEN food ingredients to avoid to feel better and look better
Reported by: Jennifer Harrington
Email: <mailto:jharrington@abc15.com>jharrington@abc15.com
Last Update: 7/10 12:41 pm
<http://www.PaulaOwens.com>Paula Owens the author
of <http://thepowerof4-paula.blogspot.com>“The
Power of 4” says avoiding these 10 things will
change your body dramatically. Owens has a
master’s degree in holistic nutrition and a bachelors degree in kinesiology.
1. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP: HFCS is the number one source of calories for most Americans and causes obesity.
You’ll find high-fructose corn syrup (GMO) in processed food, fast food, sodas, syrup that goes into your Latte, etc.
HFCS is extremely toxic to your liver, increases inflammation, causes obesity, oxidative stress and creates an aggressive insulin response.
2. PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS (TRANS FATS):
Partially hydrogenated oils are found in thousands of processed foods (breakfast cereals, cookies, chips).
Trans fats are proven to cause heart disease and contribute to obesity.
Restaurant food, especially from fast food chains, often serve food loaded with trans fats.
Consequences of a diet high in trans fats include:
* increased inflammation
* decreased immune function
* decreased testosterone
* Arthritis
* Cancer
* Decrease IQ – learning disabilities.
American IQ has dropped 20 points in the past 20 years.
* Diabetes
* Elevated blood pressure
* Free radical production
* Heart Disease
* Interferes with neurological & visual development of fetus
* Liver damage
* Obesity
* Osteoporosis
* Type II diabetes
3. MSG: Monosodium glutamate is a chemical that has been associated with reproductive disorders, migraine headaches, permanent damage to the endocrine system leading to obesity and other serious disorders.
MSG is used in many foods as a taste enhancer. It is linked to reduced fertility.
4. SODIUM NITRATE: This is a preservative, coloring, and flavoring commonly added to bacon, ham, hot dogs, luncheon meats, smoked fish and corned beef.
Studies have linked eating it to various types of cancer. Continued
