    Yes however in these cultures people were exposed to mercury and other heavy metals through the environment in far higher doses... so evenif it was not the same form they were still getting mercury, antimony and lead. No they were just abandoned, killed or treated like lepers... I'm not saying it was 1:94 ... I'm just saying it wasn't diagnosed...

    Well said, Respect... I'm sure quite a few of the people who are saying how bad this is have done the same thing,perhaps not over an illness but over something else. When people are dating they are testing the waters, seeing if they can spend the rest of their life with that person... if they find one thing that they feel will annoy them or they won't...

    It all makes sense but whole civilisations have been exposed to high levels of mercury for thousands of years. Cinnabar was used in inks, cosmetics etc. from ancient china through India and Egypt and Greek and Rome. Traditional Indian and Chinese medicine used mercury tablets as a "life enhancer" ...zhū shā / 朱沙 Add other heavy metal toxicity in co...

    How tall are you ....? Remember if your not adsorbing properly the calories you eat are not properly adsorbed ... Sesame butter might be high cal but you may not be adsorbing the fat's very well. Even though its less calories you might get more adsorbtion from simple vegetables? You can make some grilled vegetables brushed with olive oil like ...

    Its not about faults .. its a question of the future... If you are dating and you and your partner are getting more serious .. then people start to think about the future... will they forever not be able to go to resto's.?? Will they forever not be able to share a snack on a day out... etc. etc. Its easy for them to deal with at a superficial level...

    I have mixed feelings on this.... This is just one example.... Its really not that simple.... People want a 'normal' life....I guess and that means being able to do lots of things you just can't do when celiac. Much as we adapt ... it does limit what we can do... from a kiss at the end of the night to going out with a group of THEIR friends...

    It is possible but its always pot luck! We make our own luck.. as you describe but it still involves a lot of luck not to get glutened if you eat out regularly. Sorry it's tough but ...

    Everything about the pharma industry acknowledged but just challenging this idea .. (from personal experience) I'd likely say the same yet I know for instance I didn't get hay fever when I lived in North Africa... back in Europe its "daily meds" least over summer but It is in my power to say move back, apply for Libyan citizenship ... etc. OK, perhaps...

    What about the undigested food in the crop and stomach? Or even partially digested food in the intestine?

    The problem however is cyclic.... IMHO what is important is the fact that the current "normal ranges" for antibodies are taken from a sample which includes a large percentage of undiagnosed gluten intolerants/coeliacs.... This basically makes the "normal range" worth nothing... I have yet to see any publication of RAW data... the ranges and distributions...

    Not really, it just doesn't work like that... We mine mercury ores (Cinnabar), refine and use... then it get adsorbed into living things from trees to plankton to fish...and me and you. Then we die, get buried .... as you point out burning coal releases mercury... because that mercury was released and readsorbed into dead matter, it was buried and...

    You can buy expensive and low threshhold test strips from a company in Ellesmere Port ... (Open Original Shared Link) Or you can send it for testing at a food lab...(more expensive) Open Original Shared Link (My ex-wife works at the latter)

    Yawn..... I've been saying this for years.... does anyone listen?
  15. gfp
    I would never buy Schar, they use(d) CODEX standard "gluten-free" wheat starch in many of their products (or certainly did last time I checked). So far as I'm concerned any company making gluten-free products knowingly containing gluten @<200ppm are simply not to be trusted.

    Open Original Shared Link IMHO the term "nightshades" is just a "scare name"... I'm not saying they are not toxic or bad for us but calling them "Potato" family would carry less weight.
  17. gfp
    However the part I think is wrong is that this is a "recent" phenomenon. I absolutely agree .... Mercury is the ONLY naturally occurring element that has no known use within the human body. Stop for a second and think about that... there are a lot of supertoxic elements where even a tiny amount is fatal BUT even these have an actual use in the...

    Unfortunately almost anything you can take for sleep is strongly habit forming, herbal or not... This doesn't mean people don't have imbalances need addressing but that even gentle herbs can be mentally addictive when it comes to sleep. The tried and tested way is to set an alarm and get up at the same time EVERY DAY.... this will kill you for a week...

    Calicoe, there have been quite a few threads that have turned into "antibiotics are evil" etc. and the problem I feel is that people should be able to make a educated decision for themselves ... hence I try and add some "balance" for the person who browses the thread and picks up the vibe ALL antibiotcs are ALWAYS bad. The UK health system is itelf in...

    The problem with crumbs is they are just crumbs! Its culturally acceptable to just wipe down the surface and use the same dishcloth etc. and its so hard to get in a mindset where we would treat it like poison. Imagine you had some poop, you wouldn't use the same dishcloth yet the reality is a bit of poop would likely NOT make you sick, its just YUCK...

    Not off the top of my head since I'm in the UK so we have different brands .... I would DEFINITELY consider this though ... the effects of IV Gluten might be quite weird.... and that's basically what happebs if you knick yourself shaving ... Someone did post a while ago about one containing oat protein and in the same way I just think why take the risk...
  23. gfp
    Erm no definitive answer ... Why take the risk? I think a black and white answer would be no but why do grapes make different wine depending on the soil and what else grows around them? cool avatar geek
  24. gfp
    Since 2 glasses is normal for you I wold very strongly suspect that you got cross contaminated. Indeed with or without the wine this is an ever present risk when we eat out.
  25. gfp
    I agree wholeheartedly ... however I think there are vaccines and vaccines...and non-disclosed financial interests!! Quite honestly I have seen countries with the absense of ready vaccines and anti-biotics and its an eye opener ... or perhaps eye wetter is more apt. Being serious for a minute... this is a problem of mass medicine... I guess an easy...
