    Can an Energy Guru Really Help Your Celiac Disease?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Can long-distance energy channeling can help people with their celiac disease symptoms? The obvious answer is that it’s highly unlikely.

    Celiac.com 07/26/2018 - Currently, the only medically proven treatment for celiac disease is a life-long gluten-free diet. That’s been true for many years, but that doesn’t stop people from making curious or questionable celiac disease claims. Today in the arena of likely bogus medical claims, we ask ourselves if long-distance energy channeling can help people with their celiac disease symptoms? The obvious answer is that it’s highly unlikely.

    According to the group's recent press release titled, Trivedi Global, Inc. and Su-Mei Liu Announce Research Results on the Impact of a Biofield Energy Treated Nutraceutical for Decreasing Inflammation and Autoimmune Disorders, such treatments do help.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The company is called Trevedi Global, Inc., and claims that "tests" conducted in the research laboratory of Dabur Research Foundation, near New Delhi, India, show that just 5 minutes of Biofield Energy Treatment, conducted using the “healers' unique Biofield Energy Transmission process remotely to the test samples under laboratory conditions” improves celiac disease and numerous other conditions for people using nutraceutical supplements. Whatever their appeal may be, there’s reason to be skeptical of such claims.

    The press release claims that “Human Biofield Energy has subtle energy that…can be harnessed and transmitted by the gifted into living and non-living things via the process of a Biofield Energy Healing Treatment or Therapy.”

    Of course, this process involves paying money for both nutraceuticals and for the self-labeled “energy healers” working from a remote location. These “healers” then use their “unique” abilities to “channel energy” to the afflicted person for about five minutes.

    Again, as per the press release, these “healing” sessions were conducted by someone called “Sui-Me Liu as part of a group of 20 energy healers. Eighteen were remotely located in the U.S.A and two in Canada.” 

    It goes on to add that “Lui, along with another 19 Biofield healers participating in this research never visited the laboratory in person, nor had any contact with the nutraceuticals samples.” The release calls Liu “an evidence-based energy healer, today announces research based on the impact of a biofield energy treated nutraceutical to improve overall immunity and to combat inflammation and autoimmune disorders.”

    Without addressing any alleged clinical significance the press release goes on to claim the following results:

    • “Up to 260% increase overall immunity as seen by elevation of antibody levels"
    • "Over 50% increase in delayed hypersensitivity reaction"
    • "Over 30% decrease in uric acid levels"
    • "Over 25% increase in blood cell counts”

    The press release claims that these “research findings suggest that the biofield energy treatment enhanced the nutraceutical's anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties with a safe therapeutic index. Another promising indication for the supplement is improvement of overall health and quality of life.”

    So the company is basically selling their nutraceuticals as a cure-all that, coupled with remote energy channeling treatments, allegedly translates into improvements for people with celiac disease.

    They go on to claim that their product “can be used to combat autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders like Celiac Disease (gluten-sensitive enteropathy), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Parkinson’s Disease, Graves’ Disease, chronic peptic ulcers, Hepatitis, Addison's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Tuberculosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic periodontitis, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Vitiligo, Hashimoto Thyroiditis, Chronic sinusitis, Type 1 Diabetes, Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren Syndrome, Alopecia Areata, Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Diverticulitis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer’s Disease, Atherosclerosis and more.”

    Aside from the addition of the strange energy channeling claim, the claims made by Trevedi Global about their nutraceuticals are pretty standard pseudo-medical hype. It’s common for companies to make vague, unsupported health claims while hawking products that are unlikely to have any impact at all upon particular health problems, including celiac disease, and any other serious disorder.

    So, take these claims, and any other claims such as this, with a grain of salt, and don’t give up your gluten-free diet just yet.

    I don't know if remote energy healing works. Seems far fetched. I've taken meditation classes and healing classes. Both seem to help. I always feel better after I meditate. When I do an energy healing, I can tell the difference the next day.  I feel a lot better and my stomach seems to be better. It doesn't cure celiac disease. I follow a strict diet. It does help with the anxieties about your health and well being. It seems to help with some skin issues I'm having. I have some red patches that aren't psoriasis and not itchy. It's slowly clearing those up. Nothing works overnight. I'd suggest going to a meditation class for anyone with celiac. It makes you feel so much better mentally, which translates into better physical health. It's a definite way to get rid of anxieties.

    Celiac.com 04/09/2011 - A Durham, North Carolina man is currently on trial for fraud after being accused of deliberately selling bread labeled gluten-free that contained gluten, and which sickened more than two dozen people with food allergies.

Seelig faces more than two dozen fraud charges for taking customers' money under false pretenses. Prosecutors plan to call almost 50 witnesses.
    Prosecutor Evans told jurors that witnesses would include two dozen customers who suffer from celiac disease and gluten intolerance, and who became ill after eating Seelig's products, along with the University of Nebraska experts who tested...

    Paul Seelig Found Guilty of Selling Fake Gluten-Free Bread Gets 11 Years
    Celiac.com 04/12/2011 - Paul Seelig was found guilty today of 23 counts of obtaining property by false pretense after a two-week trial in Durham, NC. The jury found that he illegally represented baked goods as gluten-free, but they actually contained gluten. Mr. Seelig received an 11 year prison sentence for his crimes, which included the sickening of more than two dozen customers, one of whom had a premature delivery that was possibly caused by her involuntary gluten consumption.
    Seelig's company, Great Specialty Products, purchased regular gluten-containing items from companies in New Jersey such as Costco, and then repackaged them in his home kitchen and sold them as "gluten-free" at the NC State Fair, various street fairs and via home delivery. Seelig claimed that his baked items...

    Celiac.com 12/16/2013 - Numerous popular herbal products may be contaminated or may contain unlabeled substitute ingredients and fillers, meaning that they are not what their labels claim. According to the World Health Organization, adulterated herbal products are a potential threat to consumer safety.
    These revelations came to light after a group of Canadian researchers conducted an investigation into herbal product integrity and authenticity, with hopes of protecting consumers from health risks associated with product substitution and contamination.
    Using a test called DNA barcoding, a kind of genetic fingerprinting that been effective in uncovering labeling fraud in other commercial industries, the researchers found that nearly 60% of herbal products tested were not what their...

    Celiac.com 04/23/2015 - Not only did a gluten-free diet and lifestyle changes NOT cure Australian "wellness" blogger Belle Gibson of terminal brain cancer, but the 23-year-old is admitting that she never actually had cancer in the first place.
    Gibson published a book and even created a popular cellphone app, "The Whole Pantry," and in the process made at least $300,000 from people who also hoped to cure cancer or other ailments by changing their diet. She had promised to donate a portion of those proceeds to cancer charity, but apparently kept all the money, which proved to be the catalyst for her subsequent downfall.
    Deeper scrutiny and investigation of Gibson's claim revealed that she never actually had cancer in the first place.
    Since being revealed as a fraudster...
