I get his newsletters. I read them. But I always keep in mind that he makes his money selling crap loads of supplements and products. There is always research that can support your beliefs, if you dig hard enough. And many articles take the slant of the writers ideas (not necessarily the facts). So read them, but do plenty of research before deciding if something he says sounds right.

I read that he is against the use of most supplements most of the time. He thinks we should get the vitamins we need from raw food. Many things he has touched on I had already researched and found that he said the same thing. For instance Monsanto and vaccines. However he is human like everyone and we all make mistakes. Is there anything specific that you disagree about according to your research? Just wondering <_< Also has he ever done a study on Celiac?

Over the years, I have come to truly respect Joseph Mercola and what he purports. I've had to struggle somewhat with the obvious fact that he does sell health products on his site, but he does have to make a living, his products are made with his medical beliefs as their basis, and with that I let it go.

I do believe that he really wants to get the big, simple message out: One must take control of their own health and stop being bamboozled by Big Pharma.

EFT is an amazing acupressure technique that I learned through his urging. It is well worth reading about and can be found by googling EFT technique. Incredible things can transpire! :)

Yup, Big Pharma is just out to get our money and make us sick with their chemicals and to brain wash everyone. They are good at fooling many doctors too telling them that drugs heal. Eating right heals. Our bodies don't know what to do with those foreign substances. Docs get paid by them to push those chemicals. Its no wonder we have such a good medical system in our country but people are more sick than ever and with new diseases (prob caused by their new drugs) Ever wonder why free range animals very seldom if ever get sick? Because they eat right.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
