Better worry more about your health insurance from what Obama is doing to them than worry about your neighbor’s eating habits.

It's the same thing (must cover those with pre-existing conditions)

That also includes AIDs patients, people who destroy their liver from drinking and need a transplant, cancer patients, people who are dying for other reasons...people who have destroyed their own health. They must all be able to buy the same insurance as you.

People are going to die of something - as I think I mentioned. We’re all being kicked off the planet to make room for somebody else. I prefer to accept that and not blame by neighbor.

You said, “Vaccination is not a harmless thing, as the veterinary profession has of late discovered”

What’s been happening in this area? Do you have any articles or links? I noticed my vet, the last time he vaccinated my dog for rabies, he injected her in her hindquarters, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do before. I think previously he’s dosed her on her front leg. I didn’t think about it at the time, but later I wondered if he did it there because it was the farthest point away from her heart. I should ask him next time I see him.

“But as far as I’m concerned, if gluten was good enough for Paul and Silas, it’s good enough for me!”

You might be surprised to learn that the bread of the Bible was not made from the type of wheat we have today, but from a different species called emmer.

Sugar and carb habits are tough...you eat some and crave more. It’s a relentless cycle. Have you tried Torani sugar free syrups? They’re good for coffee, and with a hit of real cream you get what you crave without the carbs/sugar.

My dear step-mom (R.I.P.) had Celiac disease...she ate tortilla chips and cheese all the time because she ate on the fly alot, like you, and felt limited and deprived. I completely understand the feeling.

Been gone all day. I will try and get the studies for you.

Yes, we don’t eat any food with gluten. What else is in it? Well, it depends on the item!

Sure, I will have to dig them up again as I researched them 2 years ago.

#1 Yes, will post when I get a chance.

#2 We swear off the wheat, barley and rye proteins. What else would we be missing by giving those up?

Here is the big study compilation which really convinced me of the detrimental effects gluten can have on anyone:

http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1741-7015-10-13.pdf

The review is titled “Spectrum of gluten-related disorders: consensus
on new nomenclature and classification” written by major authorities in the field of Celiac research.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in there such as this:
“Wheat varieties grown for thousands of years and
mostly used for human nutrition up to the Middle Ages,
such as Triticum monococcum and T. dicoccum, contain
less quantities of the highly toxic 33-mer gluten peptide
[65]. Apparently the human organism is still largely vulnerable
to the toxic effects of this protein complex, particularly
due to a lack of adequate adaptation of the
gastrointestinal and immunological responses....
...All individuals,even those with a low degree of risk, are therefore
susceptible to some form of gluten reaction during their
life span. Therefore, it is not surprising that during the
past 50 years we have witnessed an ‘epidemic’ of CD [celiac disease]
[68,69] and the surging of new gluten-related disorders,
including the most recently described GS [gluten sensitivity]”

This article from this TownHall writer is about a new study by Peter Gibson which apparently refutes his old study about gluten. However, I never based our ditching of gluten on the Gibson study anyway. There are questions as to whether it’s the actual gluten or something else(I think called FODMAPs) which can cause stomach issues. There are more problems besides stomach issues related to gluten though and not the main reason we gave it up.

Basically, I do think a lot of people are jumping on the gluten-free band-wagon without understanding it. However, there are those of us out there who have looked a little more into it. If it seems to help my family, then I’m happy anyway.

For what?

If you're fat, it's certainly not your neighbor's fault.

You can simply do a Google search on "dog overvaccination." Here's a link that might help:

http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/13_8/features/Annual-Pet-Vaccinations_20036-1.html

It's been some time now that people have noticed a definite connection between vaccination and autoimmune disorders and certain types of cancer in dogs. The protocols for vaccination have been changed; many in the field now believe that there's no reason to "boost" vaccinations after the first set of puppy shots and that most vaccines provide immunity for the entire life of the animal.

Now if the human medical profession would only start wising up as well!

Thank you. I recently did research on substituting Flax Seed flour in baking. It works, by the way.

My wife is a baker and a customer requested a bread that is gluten free and carb free. She said the ingredients do exist and my wife searched in vain. I told her to make the lady a nice meatloaf.

WE now only vaccinate every 3 years. Every year is too much.
