A Beautiful Truth

Hey all, I watched simply one of the most amazing movies last night. It was called THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH. It explains the injustice of our food and drug administration and talks about DR. MAX GERSON who cured many many diseases through the implimentation of proper foods. One such food that was never talked about being good was WHEAT. I finished the movie and couldnt help but actually feel like my Celiacs was a blessing in disguise. We simply cannot eat most processed crap because most of it contains gluten. Human beings were not actually meant to eat mass quantities of anything processed, if at all. In in response nature has created man new diseases one of which is CELIACS DISEASE. We arent the victims here, everybody else is.

Here are some links that you may want to read about.

and P.S.- After Dr. Gerson published his book on curing cancer by food implementation, he was poised with Arsenic and died. Nice eh?

Celiac is not a new disease. It is believed to be described in the Bible as the wasting disease. During the food shortages of World War Two, children starving in Belgium who actually had Celiac Disease health improved. It was the groundbreaking proof of the gluten free diet as the cure for Celiacs.

I could not agree more.

And thank you so much for suggesting this documentary. I went and watched it just now and it was incredibly moving. Brought me to tears a couple of times. There are some other ones on Netflix that are similar and I would recommend: "Food, Inc." and "Food Matters." I think EVERYONE should watch them, even those who are healthy in every way. They are about our world and how we are shaping it.

I have Super Size Me on netflix right now in the background while I'm cleaning (and taking computer break)...and it's making me thank God that I cannot eat that stuff. I"m going to check that documentary. Very interesting point.

Going to get Food Inc tonight. Thanks for the recommendations.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Dora77. “Questions I Need Help With” “1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks…” YES - you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your mother. Trust she still knows how to take the best care of you in her own way. Mishaps and cross contamination may happen - will happen on occasion, in fact - that’s life. But for the bulk of it as long as you’re aware of cc and try to avoid it for the most part, don’t sweat the small stuff! See the gluten free diet as a process. Own the process, Do Not let the process own you! “2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we...
