The cinnamon helps to maintain blood sugar levels, which helps to balance the effects of the fruit sugars. Miso soup is another example: soy disturbs the thyroid, but the seaweed helps to stabilize it.<br /><br />Maybe you've discovered a similar rule here: toast is only acceptable (for a non-celiac, of course) to eat if it has a generous amount of pastured butter on it.<br /><br />Have there been any healthy cultures that ate wheat?Cairahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427778664504747608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-51981784886930870452008-12-03T14:10:00.000-08:002008-12-03T14:10:00.000-08:00Hi Kim,Glad to hear you are figuring things out. ...Hi Kim,<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you are figuring things out. I assume you are gluten-free? I was reading an interesting paper today about the association between Celiac disease and bone problems. <BR/><BR/>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18534236 <BR/><BR/>CD kids had dramatically lower levels of vitamin D, and corresponding low calcium, and high parathyroid hormone levels. Many of them already had osteoporosis and osteopenia. They also speculated that systemic inflammation from CD could contribute to the bone problems. A gluten-free diet solved the vitamin D deficiency, low bone mineral density and high PTH. <BR/><BR/>I really do think gluten sensitivity is a spectrum, with Celiac disease being the most obvious manifestation. The fact that you are allergic to wheat is a big clue. I'll be posting more on that soon. Keep us filled in on your progress.Stephan Guyenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218114625524777250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-78790029077477996802008-12-03T13:34:00.000-08:002008-12-03T13:34:00.000-08:00Stephan,I feel like I've struck gold!

I was diagnosed with early stages of osteoporosis at age 48, allergic to wheat (since 1987), diagnosed with neuralgia inducing cavitational osteonecrosis (dying jawbone)in 2003 and the list goes on! I refused to have most of my teeth removed and my jawbone scraped to remove the necrosis. Five different dentists had 5 different diagnosis. 1.5 years ago, I had a root canal A temporary fix. Symptoms are back and I am not going down the dental road again! Ran across "Cure Tooth Decay" by Ramiel Nagel. That led me to Nourishing Traditions (just ordered book today). Recieved my first bottle of GP Blue Ice Gold today. While searching Activator X I found your blog. I can't begin to thank you enough. I have always believed that - given the right conditions - our bodies will heal themselves. The challenge is figuring out those conditions. Back in '79 I had chronic fatigue.Went to a orthomolecular doctor (Dr. John Barons) and thru chelation therapy++, overcame CF. Since then,I've tried macrobiotics, rotation diet, NAET, liver cleanse diet, Adkins, Blood-type diet, Hallaleuah diet, and most recently, Maker's diet. All with varying degrees of success. You've helped me put some pieces of the puzzle together. Thank you for your unbiased truth about nutrition.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468648669636082528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-61632565563878514412008-07-02T12:57:00.000-07:002008-07-02T12:57:00.000-07:00I got an http status 404 error attempting to retur...I got an http status 404 error attempting to return to the site which may be why the link isn't working.<BR/><BR/>The full text article specifically named Allison's Bran Plus.Yuneekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451151651349874133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-84349325128409311342008-07-01T17:17:00.000-07:002008-07-01T17:17:00.000-07:00Thanks yuneek.

We tend to concentrate on getting enough sunlight, fishoil, or whatever, but all that could be sabotaged by a sensitivity to gluten.<BR/><BR/>There is a whole complex of things going on - food, exercise, sleep, mental attitude etc <BR/><BR/>Hope that makes sense!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.com
