Testimonial of the month

Hi Dr. McManus - 

Just wanted to share some continued good news with T.  She is back conditioning 5 days and week and training with a coach.  No dizzy spells and she is just having normal soreness with good recovery time.
 
We made it through her usual back to school cold/allergy/sore throat/congestion/cough stuff in less than a week with no ear or sinus infection, antibiotics or steroids.  (HOORAY!)
 
No complaints of stomach aches in over a month (she is off dairy completely, but still not 100% gluten free).
   
Even through all the illness and injury last year, she pulled off top 10% of her class and is making it look like a cake walk with all A's to start this year.
 
We are so thankful for you and your team. She has the sparkle back in her eyes :)

Ghostly Gluten!
You May Think You Know, But We Bet You Don't

by Mila McManus MD 
and Nancy Mehlert, MS
 
Gluten can seem like a ghost.  We may not be familiar with all the sources, but most of us have heard the word by now.  You can't see it like you can see a bottle of Coca Cola or a candy bar.  It hides in other consumables. So it does seem rather mysterious and ghost-like, and thus makes a good topic for October and all things spooky. As we care for ourselves and our families, understanding all we can about gluten is a critical part of making efforts to better health. Let's try to clear up the mysteries.
 
Datis Kharrazian, DHSc, DC, MS says in his book Why Isn't My Brain Working? (2013): "No single dietary protein is a more potent trigger of neurological dysfunction and neurological autoimmunity than gluten, the protein found in wheat.  We're seeing dramatic increases in the number of people sensitive to gluten in the United States.  Research shows gluten sensitivity has risen sharply in the last 50 years."[i]

Gluten is made up of a sticky portion called glutenin and a protein called gliadin. One does not exist without the other and gliadin itself has three more fractions called alpha, omega and gamma. Wheat is the primary source of gluten, though there are other grains that also have gluten including barley, rye, spelt, kamut and oats (unless the oats are properly processed by a certified gluten free method).
 
The gluten in ancient wheat of a century ago was very different. It was nature's real food. Today, gluten, and more specifically wheat, has been significantly hybridized, meaning the seed has been altered many times over the years to create a new, man-made wheat, if you will, that appears to trigger immune reactions.  In other words, it is not natural or understood by the human body as a real, nature made food. In addition to this fake wheat, it has also been further altered through a process called deamidation.  The food industry deamidates wheat using acids and enzymes to make wheat water soluble so that it mixes more easily with other foods. And let's not forget about all the pesticides sprayed on the wheat crops and the chemcials used during the harvesting process! A study published in the European Journal of Inflammation concluded this new compound may be the major cause of hidden inflammatory responses to foods[i]. These things make wheat a fake, man-made substance that perhaps should not be honored with the name "food".
