Growing up I remember reading about how another country fly over us and unleash irritants in the air that could cause us to have cancer or die etc etc...

I know this sounds paranoid...but...

Do you think its possible somebody, out there... genetically modified wheat to have a chemical complex in it that would kill off lots of the population in a certain period of time? Like...basically a hacker putting a worm on the internet....but this chemist put a virus in the wheat genome?

How would we ever know?

Its just very crazy to me...because wheat is in everything... and they feed it to the animals, which we eat too...

What is going on?... anyone want to get paranoid with me? haha...but really? yeah? maybe?... is there more than meets the eye... I know they have designed plants to make drugs, to which they harvest the plant in such a way to get the drug out... I read about this.

Just off the top of my head...I could imagine the pharma companies working with the GM companies. They GM crops to give us all these problems, then the pharmas have a HUGE market for more medication to treat the problems caused by the GM crops. hmmm

oh, and if i suddenly disappear from these boards ...that may be from the gang of people who will kidnap me so this information doesn't get leaked too much.

I think it's more likely the case we have outsmarted ourselves via hybridization/genetic maipulation as we have sought to engineer wheat varieties with more and more gluten that makes bread hold together better and better. Original wild stocks of wheat had a two-stranded gene for gluten whereas our modern varieties have a six-stranded gene for making gluten. Some studies have suggested that the ancient wild varieties don't produce a Celiac reaction when ingested.

I don't think its intentional but they have been killing us since the 60s when the wheat was modified.

Anything for the almighty dollar I guess. I think its why support of SlowFood movement, Buy Fresh Buy Local movements and farmers markets are so important. Then again nothing would surprise me -- even if we both disappeared!

The bottom line is ... well the bottom line.

We live in a 'corrupt' society where being elected to office is a way to line someones pockets or those of their friends and relatives. Not everyone does but enough do and others see this as 'normal' and turn a blind eye.

Unfortunately this is the best we have .... much as we love to say democracy is so great, its really just the best of a poor set of options. The fundamental problem with democracy is that the "aye's" have it. In order to get something passed all that needs to be done is to convince the voting public ... and the easiest way is to promise more $ in their pockets...

It would seem that the latter part of last century we actually did go through a change, perhaps America started but others have certainly either followed or taken the same path regardless.

We now have a culture where we buy everything, where the $ (or Euro or Pound) is the last word.. and where mostly people will not even do a kindness to others without being paid. Much as this is a tragedy in itself it provides a great cover for corporations .... the farmer is offered the modified grain... which allows them to get an edge on the farm next door... and sell at a higher profit margin etc. etc.

Because in most cases most people no longer buy from the farmer, or even the person who buys from the farmer or the person who buys from the person ...etc. no-one really gives two hoots about the quality, if its good for us etc.. etc.

The fundamental principle of capitalism's self regulation is that the end consumer will not buy the poor products but we are no longer given any choice over supply for many items and the starting products are so mixed up (the produce of farmer A is mixed with the produce of farmers B-Z) and mixed in with other products (additives etc.) that it makes no sense anyway. The only way farmer A can sell competitively is by selling the cheapest bulk.

However, conspiracy theories have a huge role.... the big conspiracy is that as long as we have conspiracy theories the corporations can get away with whatever they want because ... well mention it and its a conspiracy theory :D ...

Lets try .... most fruits are deliberately infected with candida .... ???

Right.

Consider these facts:

  • The drug companies are the ones keeping medical journals in business, through advertising. And just like TV networks, the editors don't want to lose sponsors by promoting good health, herbs, natural stuff, etc. The doctors rely on this info to keep informed, so all their info is thus influenced by drug companies.

  • The average cardiologist gets a visit from a drug rep twice per week.

  • Drug companies supply medical schools with the majority of scholarship funding.

  • Most drugs are FDA approved based on data supplied by the manufacturer, not independent testing.

  • Influential people from drug companies have been known to end up working at the FDA, and vice-versa.

There's plenty more, but what I'm getting at here is that the medical establishment is tailored to suit the drug companies. Furthermore, the food industry is tailored to suit the medical establishment. Take for instance the artificial sweetener scam. They knew right from the very start that aspartame was a neurotoxin, and it can't even be cooked without turning carcinogenic. Yet even to this day the FDA keeps issuing statements proclaiming it is safe, all the while banning the natural sweetener Stevia. They even went as far as demanding a book burning, of a recipe book and other publications about Stevia. Their position on Stevia actually violates their own rules, since Stevia has been in use for centuries, with absolutely no known side effects whatsoever. According to regulations, this means Stevia is to be given GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) status. Additionally, it has undergone rigorous testing in a number of countries around the world, most notably Japan, where it has been used and tested for over 25 years, and is now enjoyed in approximately half of the sweetened foods on the market. Also consider than Stevia is a natural extract, thus cannot be patented. Neither can the extraction process, which incidentally, uses just plain water. The artificial sweetener market is currently around $1.5 billion.

Now, let's consider GMO corn. Originally, GMO corn was only supposed to be used for animal feed, because tests showed heightened allergic reactions. However, today we now have it all over the place, and even unapproved types end up in our foods, through what are reportedly "mistakes". I for one believe this is deliberate, to conduct human trials on the unsuspecting population. Then the producer can go ahead and obtain approval far easier, and avoid the costs of rigorous testing. Let's not forget that a number of GMO foods like corn produce seeds which aren't viable, forcing farmers to buy seed each year rather than use some of what they grow.

When you look at why fluoride is put into public water supplies all over the country, even though many countries around the world have banned this poison, it makes you wonder. Especially since fluoride has been known to be a toxic substance for a long, long time. It's an industrial waste product, and nobody knew what to do with it, so they lobbied officials, and convinced the public that somehow it was healthy, so they could dump the stuff in our water.

Well now that we are all in this conspiracy together...

Good message. Thanks to many of these alternative movements small farmers have alternatives at least with candida free fruit B)

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
