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.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !
