How to make diseases disappear

[Zprime]

I saw this video today and it got me quiet curious.

This MD / Doctor, has had a tremendous amount of luck reversing Auto immune diseases ( Diabetes, Hashimoto's ect ) in patients through simple methods of Diet, Sun-light, Lowering Stress, Correct Sleep Patterns and various other things.

I thought this was a really interesting way to look at Celiac Disease, Rather than simply cutting out Gluten , there seems to be a myriad of underlying things to cure ( and who knows this might even reverse it in some people ).

 

I myself am guilty of all of the things he mentioned, Terrible Sleep Scheduele for years, Processed Food out the Wazzo, Stress Levels above average ( due to moving countries, starting several companies ect ), and boom sure enough I developed Celiac Disease.

It makes me wonder if I were able to correct the underlying issues ( diet, sleep, sunlight, stress ect ) if perhaps there's a chance my celiac / gluten intolerance might reverse? 

Not saying this will work for everyone but It's quiet fascinating.

I'm sorry but no there is no 'cure' for celiac once it develops. However by strictly following the diet you can become symptom free and issues you didn't realize were associated with celiac may resolve. For example, I have never had another migraine since diagnosis and my arthritis got a great deal of relief. Both will flare if I am glutened though so I don't consider them gone.

Celiac disease is an auto-immune condition.  I imagine you got some immunizations as a child or sometime?  Probably got a shot for measles or some such?

Well, if so, you are still immune to measles.  And probably tuberculosis if born in the USA. If your immune system were to "forget"  it had learned to fight measles or tuberculosis, you could get those diseases again.  But that rarely happens.  So you are safe from those diseases because your immune system learned to fight them and will do so until you die.  You don't have to worry about going to the airport or crowded places because your immune system is protecting you constantly.  Celiac disease is the same thing.  Your immune system learned to fight gluten and it always will do that.

If you could be born again with a brand new "innocent" immune system you might not develop celiac disease.  But that's not so easy.

And he is right - you treat Celiac through diet.  But if you stop the diet, it will come back.
