If you knew what gluten did to your body, you would never consume bread, wheat, and oats every again.

What is gluten?

Something you’re eating may be killing you, and you probably don’t even know it!

If you eat cheeseburgers or French fries all the time or drink six sodas a day, you likely know you are shortening your life. But eating a nice dark, crunchy slice of whole wheat bread–how could that be bad for you?

Well, bread contains gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and oats. It is hidden in pizza, pasta, bread, wraps, rolls, and most processed foods. Clearly, gluten is a staple of the American diet.

What most people don’t know is that gluten can cause serious health complications for many. You may be at risk even if you don’t have full blown celiac disease.

In today’s blog I want to reveal the truth about gluten, explain the dangers, and provide you with a simple system that will help you determine whether or not gluten is a problem for you.

The Dangers of Gluten

A recent large study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people with diagnosed, undiagnosed, and “latent” celiac disease or gluten sensitivity had a higher risk of death, mostly from heart disease and cancer. (i)

This study looked at almost 30,00 patients from 1969 to 2008 and examined deaths in three groups: Those with full-blown celiac disease, those with inflammation of their intestine but not full-blown celiac disease, and those with latent celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (elevated gluten antibodies but negative intestinal biopsy).

The findings were dramatic. There was a 39 percent increased risk of death in those with celiac disease, 72 percent increased risk in those with gut inflammation related to gluten, and 35 percent increased risk in those with gluten sensitivity but no celiac disease.

This is ground-breaking research that proves you don’t have to have full-blown celiac disease with a positive intestinal biopsy (which is what conventional thinking tells us) to have serious health problems and complications–even death–from eating gluten.

Yet an estimated 99 percent of people who have a problem with eating gluten don’t even know it. They ascribe their ill health or symptoms to something else–not gluten sensitivity, which is 100 percent curable.

And here’s some more shocking news …

Another study comparing the blood of 10,000 people from 50 years ago to 10,000 people today found that the incidences of full-blown celiac disease increased by 400 percent (elevated TTG antibodies) during that time period. (ii) If we saw a 400 percent increase in heart disease or cancer, this would be headline news. But we hear almost nothing about this. I will explain why I think that increase has occurred in a moment. First, let’s explore the economic cost of this hidden epidemic.

Undiagnosed gluten problems cost the American healthcare system oodles of money. Dr. Peter Green, Professor of Clinical Medicine for the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University studied all 10 million subscribers to CIGNA and found those who were correctly diagnosed with celiac disease used fewer medical services and reduced their healthcare costs by more than 30 perecnt. (iii) The problem is that only one percent of those with the problem were actually diagnosed. That means 99 percent are walking around suffering without knowing it, costing the healthcare system millions of dollars.

And it’s not just a few who suffer, but millions. Far more people have gluten sensitivity than you think–especially those who are chronically ill. The most serious form of allergy to gluten, celiac disease, affects one in 100 people, or three million Americans, most of who don’t know they have it. But milder forms of gluten sensitivity are even more common and may affect up to one-third of the American population.

Why haven’t you heard much about this?

Well, actually you have, but you just don’t realize it. Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity masquerade as dozens and dozens of other diseases with different names.

Gluten Sensitivity: One Cause, Many Diseases

A review paper in The New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 “diseases” that can be caused by eating gluten. (iv) These include osteoporosis, irritable bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease, anemia, cancer, fatigue, canker sores, (v) and rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and almost all other autoimmune diseases. Gluten is also linked to many psychiatric (vi) and neurological diseases, including anxiety, depression, (vii) schizophrenia, (viii) dementia, (ix)migraines, epilepsy, and neuropathy (nerve damage). (x) It has also been linked to autism.(ix)

We used to think that gluten problems or celiac disease were confined to children who had diarrhea, weight loss, and failure to thrive. Now we know you can be old, fat, and constipated and still have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Gluten sensitivity is actually an autoimmune disease that creates inflammation throughout the body, with wide-ranging effects across all organ systems including your brain, heart, joints,digestive tract, and more. It can be the single cause behind many different “diseases.” To correct these diseases, you need to treat the cause–which is often gluten sensitivity–not just the symptoms.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that ALL cases of depression or autoimmune disease or any of these other problems are caused by gluten in everyone–but it is important to look for it if you have any chronic illness.

By failing to identify gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, we create needless suffering and death for millions of Americans. Health problems caused by gluten sensitivity cannot be treated with better medication. They can only be resolved by eliminating 100 percent of the gluten from your diet.

The question that remains is: Why are we so sensitive to this “staff of life,” the staple of our diet?

There are many reasons …

They include our lack of genetic adaptation to grasses, and particularly gluten, in our diet. Wheat was introduced into Europe during the Middle Ages, and 30 percent of people of European descent carry the gene for celiac disease (HLA DQ2 or HLA DQ8), (xii) which increases susceptibility to health problems from eating gluten.

American strains of wheat have a much higher gluten content (which is needed to make light, fluffy Wonder Bread and giant bagels) than those traditionally found in Europe. This super-gluten was recently introduced into our agricultural food supply and now has “infected” nearly all wheat strains in America.

To find out if you are one of the millions of people suffering from an unidentified gluten sensitivity, just follow this simple procedure.

The Elimination/Reintegration Diet

While testing can help identify gluten sensivity, the only way you will know if this is really a problem for you is to eliminate all gluten for a short period of time (2 to 4 weeks) and see how you feel. Get rid of the following foods:

• Gluten (barley, rye, oats, spelt, kamut, wheat, triticale–see www.celiac.com for a complete list of foods that contain gluten, as well as often surprising and hidden sources of gluten.)

• Hidden sources (soup mixes, salad dressings, sauces, as well as lipstick, certain vitamins, medications, stamps and envelopes you have to lick, and even Play-Doh.)

For this test to work you MUST eliminate 100 percent of the gluten from your diet–no exceptions, no hidden gluten, and not a single crumb of bread.

Then eat it again and see what happens. If you feel bad at all, you need to stay off gluten permanently. This will teach you better than any test about the impact gluten has on your body.

But if you are still interested in testing, here are some things to keep in mind.

Testing for Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac Disease

There are gluten allergy/celiac disease tests that are available through Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics. All these tests help identify various forms of allergy or sensitivity to gluten or wheat. They will look for:

• IgA anti-gliadin antibodies

• IgG anti-gliadin antibodies

• IgA anti-endomysial antibodies

• Tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA and IgG in questionable cases)

• Total IgA antibodies

• HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genotyping for celiac disease (used occasionally to detect genetic suspectibility).

• Intestinal biopsy (rarely needed if gluten antibodies are positive–based on my interpretation of the recent study)

When you get these tests, there are a few things to keep in mind.

In light of the new research on the dangers of gluten sensitivity without full blown celiac disease, I consider any elevation of antibodies significant and worthy of a trial of gluten elimination. Many doctors consider elevated anti-gliadin antibodies in the absence of a positive intestinal biopsy showing damage to be “false positives.” That means the test looks positive but really isn’t significant.

We can no longer say that. Positive is positive and, as with all illness, there is a continuum of disease, from mild gluten sensitivity to full-blown celiac disease. If your antibodies are elevated, you should go off gluten and test to see if it is leading to your health problems.

So now you see–that piece of bread may not be so wholesome after all! Follow the advice I’ve shared with you today to find out if gluten may be the hidden cause of your health problems. Simply eliminating this insidious substnace from your diet, may help you achieve lifelong vibrant health.

So what are the specific symptoms of gluten intolerance and

celiac disease?

• Weight loss or weight gain
• Nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorbtion e.g. low iron levels
• Gastro-intestinal problems (bloating, pain, gas, constipation, diarrhea)
• Fat in the stools (due to poor digestion)
• Aching joints
• Depression
• Eczema
• Head aches
• Exhaustion
• Irritability and behavioural changes
• Infertility, irregular menstrual cycle and miscarriage
• Cramps, tingling and numbness
• Slow infant and child growth
• Decline in dental health

Undiagnosed for long periods of time, food intolerances have been found to contribute to diabetes, bowel cancer, anemia and osteoporosis.

How to diagnose celiac disease and gluten intolerance?

Until recently it was challenging to diagnose celiac disease because thesymptoms are varied and similar to other diseases. For example, Crohn’s disease, chronic fatigue, iron deficiency, irritable bowel syndrome and intestinal infections can all have similar symptoms. In fact there may be a cross over between gluten intolerance and some of these illnesses; an individual may have a combination of issues worsened by unsuitable food choices.
Now doctors test for raised levels of certain auto-antibodies in their blood. These antibodies are produced when the body senses a dangerous intruder allergen, like gluten. If the results indicate an allergy to gluten the doctor may perform a small intestine biopsy. This will reveal the damage to the villi in the small intestine. It is important to eat an ordinary diet including gluten, before being tested.

So change your diet today before it kills you!

TO YOUR HEALTH !

If you have reached a certain point in your life, you have probably asked yourself – Who Am I? What is my purpose? What am I doing here on Earth? I too was asking that question. And I was trying to figure out this spiritual thing. I am not a “religious” person so to speak. I don’t like the strict dogma you hear in the traditional churches. But I do believe in God and I wanted to learn to speak to him.

So in 2005, while living in St. Petersburg, FL, I was introduced to Unity Church. The moment I sat down to listen to the sermon, I knew I was home. But what is Unity? Here is an excerpt from the website:

Spiritual seekers often say that finding Unity is like coming home. Unity is an open-minded, accepting spiritual community that honors all paths to God and helps people discover and live their spiritual potential and purpose.

A positive alternative to negative religion, Unity seeks to apply the teachings of Jesus as well as other spiritual masters. Unity affirms the power of prayer and helps people experience a stronger connection with God every day.

Unity emphasizes the practical, everyday application of spiritual principles to help people live more abundant and meaningful lives. The Unity movement also provides free 24/7 prayer support (called Silent Unity); publishes books, magazines (including Daily Word) and CDs; sponsors full-service websites at www.unity.org and www.unityfamilymatters.org; and broadcasts a free 24/7 online radio network at www.unity.fm.

Although personal and spiritual growth come from within, most people appreciate learning, friendships, support and companionship along the way. Unity is committed to helping you find your way to your own understanding—and experience—of God.

Doesn’t that sound like home to you?

We are ALL spiritual beings living a human experience.

There are many Unity churches in both Canada and the USA. Find the nearest location by clicking on this link:

CAROLINE MYSS
Exploring Psychic Versus Energetic Disorders
We now live in the Age of Energy. We’re as active in our energy-technical culture as we are in our physical, if not more so. Many of us are technical, computer, iPhone, and email addicts, unable to be away from the Internet for more than 30 minutes without checking into the global satellite network system and its “energy lines of communication.”
This phenomenal shift in technology is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what it represents in the realm of change. As a species, we too have undergone a quantum shift. In the past 50 years, we’ve shifted from being essentially five-sensory to becoming a multi-sensory species. We’re far more emotionally and psychically active than any previous human generation. Opening up our collective psychic/psyche/soul field while simultaneously manifesting that opening technically (a.k.a. the Internet), has resulted in the phenomenon of “psychic disorders” on a massive scale for the first time in human history. The problem is that while we speak about body/mind/spirit medicine and claim to follow a template of holism, none of our practices reflect that. That is, we’ve yet to even consider that psychic disorders exist, much less has the medical community conducted research into developing technology to test, measure, and treat energetic disorders. Instead, they fall into the realm of imagined, neurotic, or misdiagnosed.

MICHAEL CHASE
A Revolution of the Heart:the power of kindness within

Closing Keynote:BRUCE LIPTON
The Science of Personal and Global Transformation
We are in the midst of an incredible evolutionary event. Leading edge science is shattering old myths and rewriting the fundamental beliefs of human civilization. Cell biologist and bestselling author, Bruce H. Lipton offers a “new” biology that takes us beyond economic collapse, climate change and religious extremes to reveal that such chaos is a natural step in an unfolding process, rather than the tragic end to a broken planet. A revolution in science provides new awareness that will help us navigate this turbulent period in our planet’s history and reveals how each of us can actively participate in this global evolutionary shift. Based on his bestselling books, Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution, Bruce presents frontier science that illuminates the hidden connections among biology, psychology, spirituality and our imminent evolutionary upheaval. This dynamic presentation on the nature of how consciousness interfaces biology reveals how our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs create the conditions of our body and our place in the world. Rich in detail, yet accessible to the layperson, Bruce’s multimedia presentation offers new awareness that can facilitate our evolution from passive victims to responsible co-creators, while simultaneously offering the opportunity to heal ourselves and the planet.

Wishes Fulfilled: Master the Art of Manifesting
This lecture is dedicated to your mastery of the art of realizing all your desires. The greatest gift you have been given is the gift of your imagination. Everything that now exists was once imagined. And everything that will ever exist must first be imagined. Wishes Fulfilled is designed to take you on a voyage of discovery, wherein you can begin to tap into the amazing manifesting powers that you possess within you and create a life in which all that you imagine for yourself becomes a present fact.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explores the region of your highest self; and definitively shows you how you can truly change your concept of yourself, embark upon a God-realized way of living, and fulfill the spiritual truth that with God all things are possible-and “all things” means that nothing is left out.
By practicing the specific technique for retraining your subconscious mind, you are encouraged to not only place into your imagination what you would like to manifest for yourself, but you are given the specifics for realigning your life so you can live out your highest calling and stay connected to your Source of being. From the lofty perspective of your highest self, you will learn how to train your imagination in a new way. Your wishes-all of them-can indeed be fulfilled.

KEYNOTE: CAROLINE MYSS
Exploring Psychic Versus Energetic Disorders
We now live in the Age of Energy. We’re as active in our energy-technical culture as we are in our physical, if not more so. Many of us are technical, computer, I-phone, and email addicts, unable to be away from the Internet for more than 30 minutes without checking into the global satellite network system and its “energy lines of communication.”
This phenomenal shift in technology is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what it represents in the realm of change. As a species, we too have undergone a quantum shift. In the past 50 years, we’ve shifted from being essentially five-sensory to becoming a multi-sensory species. We’re far more emotionally and psychically active than any previous human generation. Opening up our collective psychic/psyche/soul field while simultaneously manifesting that opening technically (a.k.a. the Internet), has resulted in the phenomenon of “psychic disorders” on a massive scale for the first time in human history. The problem is that while we speak about body/mind/spirit medicine and claim to follow a template of holism, none of our practices reflect that. That is, we’ve yet to even consider that psychic disorders exist, much less has the medical community conducted research into developing technology to test, measure, and treat energetic disorders. Instead, they fall into the realm of imagined, neurotic, or misdiagnosed.

What is spirituality?

If you are like me, you have questioned what spirituality actually means. I have always believed that GOD does exist. At the beginning I talked to him even when I didn’t know “how to talk” to him. I thought you needed to be in a certain place (church) or you needed to use certain words or you needed to close your eyes and put your hands in prayer stance. But what I have found out is that you can talk to GOD anywhere, anytime, using any words you like. Once you have made it a habit, you’ll always want to do it. He is always there – for the good stuff and the bad stuff. He wants the best for you. He wants to comfort you and rejoice with you when good things happen. He wants you to be the best you can be.

We are all children of GOD. No matter if you believe it or not.  But why not believe it? Why not find comfort in a “spirit” that never leaves you. So many of us are alone and lonely. If you connect to your “spirit” and talk, you will never be alone.

Pray for what you want. Be clear of what you want. Pray to GOD (spirit) and take action to get your prayers answered. Then watch how the universe conspires to help you get what you want. It doesn’t happen overnight mind you. But it does eventually does. If you believe enough.

In this crazy world we live in, don’t you want to be able to count on something in your life? So sit down in a quiet room. Close your eyes, clear your mind and sit in silence. Then just start talking to GOD and tell him about all your dreams. Make it a daily practice and see what happens. You will notice that your stress will melt away.

GOD is waiting to talk to you! What are you waiting for?

Namaste.

And I love how the book is layed out – easy to read chapters with exercises.

This is a must read to tap into your intuition.  Available on the “Store” page in the Empowerment category.

Anyways, it all started when a friend of mine – Lore Raymond –  recommended The Passion Test book to me and it is one of the best books I have ever read in terms of helping you to figure it all out. The book is full of exercises like the Passion Pages, the Vision Board and the 100th Birthday Speech, to really get your brain thinking. Combining powerful storytelling and profound wisdom from people who are living their passion – Jack Canfield, Stephen Covey and Dr. Pankaj Naram, Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood shows how living a full and impassioned life is not only possible, it’s inevitable – if you are willing to take the PASSION TEST.

One of my favorite lines in the book says: “When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extent that you are clear.” That says it all right there. You have to get clear to know what you want.

There are also a lot of great personal stories that warm your heart. I really liked the story that Janet told about spending time with her mother before she died.

Check out my “Store” page to pick up the book or go to www.thepassiontest.com . Excellent read!

My life has drastically changed because I FINALLY found the answer to some of my health issues.

Do you feel tired, sluggish, have brain fog, have a hard time getting up in the morning, gain weight easy, have a hard time losing weight, have muscle pain or have a hard time focusing?

You may have a thyroid problem !

This is one of THE best sites I have found that explains thyroid issues -including symptoms, tests to take, what Doctor’s won’t tell you (because they don’t know), what to do and how all that relates to adrenal fatigue and iron deficiency.
