Recommended Posts

I read today that Hydrangea Root components or the root itself has the ability to cure All Types Of AutoImmune Diseases. :)

Of Course, I bought Myself some ;maybe I'll be healed by Christmas time - even if I can't eat wheat ,at least I might feel better. :rolleyes:

I read on the Internet that Hydrangea Root is part of traditional Ancient Chinese Herbal Medicine and they've been using it for hundreds of years. :huh:

Now scientists think it'll cure all autoimmune diseases. I got a bottle$5 at Vitacost.com :D

At this point in time, the only autoimmune disorder than can be cured is celiac disease (by life-long avoidance of gluten). A quote from the first article you mentioned...

...there are currently no good treatments for autoimmune disorders because you can't get in there and turn down just the inflammatory process without also turning down the protective processes that for instance protect patients from infections.

The main treatments currently rely on antibodies that neutralize cytokines, the chemical messengers that T cells use to control immune fuction and inflammatory responses.

But antibodies are expensive, have to be injected and/or infused, and don't actually solve the root cause of the problem, they just mop up cytokines rather than stop them being produced in the first place. So patients have to keep coming back for infusions to keep the inflammation under control.

As a last resort you can give patients drugs that completely suppress the immune system but for obvious reasons this is very risky.

If hydrangea root is effective, then personally... I wouldn't go messing around with it on my own. Why take further chances with the balance of your immune system? You might make things better, but you could also make things a whole lot worse :ph34r:

Why would anyone want to mess around with their immune system....to "cure" yourself so you can have wheat products again. The risks are way too high. Any risk is way too high.

This appears to still be in the research phase. Any business selling a products using these claims, is profiting prematurely, in my humble opinion.

An old quote comes to mind..."be careful what you wish for".

I agree!!!!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
