“Before and after photo: wheat, grain and sugar free 5 months, down 37 lbs and off all meds: Xanax for anxiety, Dexilant and Prilosec for heartburn and indigestion, a steroid spray for chronic sinus infections. Feels good!
Elaine lost the 37 pounds put there by national advice to eat more “healthy whole grains.” But, even more, she reversed anxiety and inflammatory conditions.
By removing wheat and grains, she is no longer exposed to gliadin-derived opiates with their peculiar mind effects. She is no longer exposed to the gliadin that remains undigested and intact and initiates autoimmune phenomena. She is no longer exposed to wheat germ agglutinin that is a potent gastrointestinal toxin and, when it gains entry into the bloodstream, is exceptionally inflammatory, even in minute quantities. She is no longer exposed to the collection of other irritants and allergens they contain. She is no longer exposed to the blood sugar- and insulin-raising effects of the amylopectin A that take you closer and closer to diabetes with every pretzel, bagel, or bran muffin you eat.
This can often sound cynical and pessimistic–but it’s not. If you understand just how destructive the seeds of grasses (“grains”) can be, made worse by the manipulations of geneticists and agribusiness, when you appreciate the range of diseases they cause, well . . . you now have the key to astounding reversals of so many health problems, just like Elaine did, all achieved by simply not eating them.
