The thing is, this person clearly doesn't even know what celiac disease is. And we're supposed to believe in this cure?

And all I had to do was stick cotton in my ear. Geez, now you tell me. :lol:

Hi, I read all your posts and no I dont know if this method can allow people to eat gluten without a trace of a problem. I only khow what I wrote and it is accurately retold that in 5 people with autoimmune disease (Crohns, Ulcerative colitis) or IRritable Bowel Syndrome , all symptoms and signs including blood and mishapen and excessive stools and pain were gone either immediately or within a week if no immune suppressive drugs were used. And in the one celiac case she reported that in her test she got no symptoms for the first time after wheat with the cotton. Period.

How should this be interpreted? Well Ill give a dollar to anyone that can reproduce this 100% batting average in a variety of chronic gut diseases, most autoimmune, using anything else in the history of the planet that didnt use those God awful immune suppressant drugs with all the risks those carry. I would wager this is the most effective alternative medicine technique for autoimmune disease ever tested. Yes the sample is small but there are NO failures so far in gut aurtommune diseases. I have read on this website some people balk at the idea of trying to avoid gluten and I m sure if they wanted to try any alternative technique not just this one their Doctor could monitor them and tell them it isnt working within a few days --

Would that cause irreparable harm?--If so then sure it would be foolish to try anything. And maybe since there is no harm in being gluten free like there is in steroids etc. maybe celiac disease needs no other treaatment and thats that.

I believe based on some observations that it works by stimulating the suppressor immune cells better which then control the aberant immune response while at the same time stimulating all the other arms of the immune system allowing it to literally crush colds , food poisoning, influenza, etc. I am not makeng it up about the 11 people with colds--an older person (88) took a whole 24 hours but the average of the group was 3 hours. The average to get rid of all but the nasal symptoms (that is, the sore throat and fever and malaise) was one hour!. That is not an exaggeration. And they were as skeptical as you.. This method works because it evolved in us over millions of years. THese trigger responses are in our genes.

To the people who want to see research studies--I am informed they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars so I would need funding and Doctor or Doctors to do it. Ive written countless institutions and Doctors seeking just that. Do you have any idea of how conservative the medical community is? Just look at your own skepticism and multiply by 10. If its something totally new no one is going to listen to you. It could do everything I wrote it did and no one will ever know because no one will go to Wild Oats or Whole Food Health markets and buy a bag of organic cotton balls , tear off a small piece and place it in the ear. Getting 30 people to try it that I wrote about took 5 YEARS. I even took my website down recently. Most of the people who tried it were people I would meet in stores like clerks or maids in motels or friends or my mother but they had the impetus of me handing them the piece of cotton.

There was some interest. THe Proffessor feom Univ of Arizona will do the study on AIDS using cotton if she gets funding but as I wrote she says it will be tough. The Chairman of the Division of INfectius Disease at the National Institute Of HEalth thought enough of my email to her to tell her Saars researchers about it who I am sure had a good laugh about it like you all. But mostly universal brick walls. Which is really a shame because from I have observed about this it is so miraculously effective in virtually everything we have used in on diseases, injuris and just in boosting the normal functions of the body) that I strongly believe that if accepted it would replace most other therapies for just about everything. It is so astonishing effective in stimulating the immune system that I dont think that infectious disease would even exist any more in humans unless they had some sort of genetic immune defect or had a transplant that required an immune suppressant.

Frankly though I have always been puzzled by peoples response to this.. Because the rational as to how this evolved and why it works seems to me to be very plausible. We already know animals including humans evolve useful responses to their environment because that helps them survive and those animals that are helped therefore to survive pass that gene along that carries that helpful response. For example a favorable response to sunlight is the making of vitamin D which has now been established as being anti cancer and anti autoimmune disease as well as pro bone growth. So perhaps it was inevitable that we would evolve a favorable response to the various conditions and fetal positions in the womb. Maybe monkeys did too and all animals. I notice dogs curl themselves into a ball when sleeping. Is that the fetal position of a dog?

There are many references to using cotton in the ear on the internet for earaches (as the above post by someone refers to). A guy from Poland told me he has heard of it being used for infections in Poland. A woman from India says in Southern India it is used by pregnant woman for infection and fatigue. A person from Guatemala told me "everyone in the country know its good for earaches". But I suspect these reports are going to be coming to a screeeching halt because at least in the US all cotton balls I could find that are not ORGANIC now contain genetically engineered cotton which the body reacts to poorly as if it were a synthetic. This tendency has been growing for several years.

Well thats all for now. Steve

Well Steve maybe you can find someone that is willing to take those risks to prove your case but I won't be one of them. I WILL NOT eat gluten to try this, it is too big of a risk to ask of any of us. Chicken? Yeah I am. I cannot afford to get sick and not be able to go to work and help support my family. My Priorities are where they should be, I have too much to lose.....my life as I know it NOW.

You say she didn't have symptoms. But do we know for sure that her intestines weren't damaged? That's what we all are really worried about. People can go for years without symptoms but they are getting damaged and this can cause serious, serious problems later. So that is why most of us don't want to take the risk. :)

I'm going to try it just for the sex value :rolleyes::rolleyes::D:P and the ear infections but I would NEVER give up my gluten free life for the way I felt before. Unless there was substantial evidence. In fact, even if there was a cure for Celiac's, I'd probably stay gluten free because it's much healthier anyway (OK- I'd probably eat pizza again but that's about it).

I FIRMLY believe that Western medicine is hesitant to accept other techniques, however, I am not. But with a life-threatening disease, it's not something to fool around with. I know that Chrohn's and ulcerative colitis can also be life threatening, but they are very different diseases than Celiac's. Would you expect acupuncture alone to cure cancer? It might, but if you are at a late stage of the disease, would you really want to take that chance? I'm all for incorporating Eastern medicine and other homeopathic remedies, but not willing to risk my life for them. I'll be quiet now.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
