Eugene Gluten Intolerance Group meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Our next meeting is on Thursday, April 9th from 6:30-8:30pm at the clubhouse at 1800 Lakewood Court, Eugene, OR. Our speaker will be Patricia Kortekaas. She is a Dutch Physical Therapist specializing in Manual Therapy and Osteopathy for people and animals. She will be discussing one of her specialties which is the impact of gluten on the endocrine and musculo-skeletal system. The glyco-proteins in gluten, casein, soy and corn have a "Glue-ing" down effect on tissues and reduce the motilities of healthy structures. Later on, it can have affects on the adrenals, kidneys, thyroid and many other musculo-skeletal systems in a progressive manner. Patricia has developed manual therapy skills to "De-glue" the affected areas and restore them back to normal motilities and flexibilities.
