I take it that you are a member of this forum because you are serious about your health. But how serious are you, really? Watch this movie. It has proved to be the single most eye-opening, informative and educational learning tool for me as far as what is safe for me to consume.

Check it out, you'll be glad you did. It's free to watch this week only:

P.S.

I'm 28 years old. I've spent the last two years of my life feeling like i total crap. Everyday, just completely run down, physically and mentally. I've spent the last 3 days of my life eating grain-free, GMO free, and purely organic. I've never felt so alive, energized and happy. The change was almost immediate.

Not just every American but every Canadian as well! I used to work for an organic certifying agency (and loved it and learned a LOT) so am very aware of the dreadful GMOs. However, this video held a sense of urgency and renewed my disgust in what we unquestioningly accept. It was also helpful to see the latest 2012 information. This video really could be lifechanging. Shame on Monsanto. :angry:

Thank you for sharing this. Highly fascinating.

I am with L2T on this. I was sick at my stomach watching this. A very well done film.

I have sent it on to a number of people.

For those of you who don't have time to watch the whole thing, believe me, if you did watch it you would definitely do everything you can to avoid GMO foods. During the last ten minutes of the film they mentioned this site: Open Original Shared Link

I just added it to my favorites bar.

BridgeOfSighs, I can't thank you enough! (Great screen name too by the way.)

Thanks for posting the web link Bartfull, I was going to try looking for that.

And Bridge thanks for posting the video. It's kind of long but definitely worth watching. I'll be looking for non-GMO next time I shop.

Thanks for posting. I already watched it. I hadn't understood before that one reason for the development of GMOs was to enable the use of massive amounts of round up. That might be more responsible for the problems than the genetic modifications.

It would be interesting to compare the numbers of people (and animals) with each of the different medical problems in Europe and in America. I'm not sure all of that info is available on the web, and I don't have time today to look these things up, but maybe on Monday I'll take a look.

It might well be the Roundup causing the problems, but I suspect it is a combination of both. I know that I was reacting to pesticides before my gut healed, and I imagine herbicides are just as bad. But because they not only modified these plants to withstand Roundup but they also inserted pesticide genes into them, I'm pretty sure we are all ingesting pesticide with each bite of GMO food we eat. It CAN'T be good for us!

I never knew anything about GMOs killing animals, or workers in South Africa getting sick/dying from eating the crop they feed their cattle, or new-found organisms created from it that are killing animals. Thank you for posting.

The scariest thing to me is that despite there being government controls to avoid us ever getting something toxic or harmful from into our food, that nevertheless they have not prevented it in the least. Theres reasons I never really gave a thought about GMOs being harmful.

I imagine some of those organisms they've found in animals that kill them can be found in people.

I just thought this might explain what I think might be a reaction to processed corn yet why the corn on the cob I eat is fine. I eat the local corn on the cob only. I eat whatever for processed corn. I will have to look into this further.

Wow, very eye-opening, and I've been getting their emails for a few months now. I was 20 minutes into it and paused it to email the link to my brother, wish I'd have watched it earlier in the week. As soon as my budget allows, I think I'll buy the dvd.

I watched this last night and I threw out all of my gluten free food which is GMO. I was horrified to learn about the history of the implementation of genetically modified food into our food chain.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
