I am 11 years old and I have celiac disease but I don't get skin problems. I have had celiac disease all my life but only found out when I was about 4/5. Before then I felt sick all the time and I couldn't walk far because my legs went really weak.It still happens now if I eat something that has wheat in. I have to have blood tests every year, and even though I am absolutely terrified of needles I have to just get on with it.The blood tests are to make sure I am not eating anything I shouldn't.X
@21madmethod - Spelt bread is a gluten-containing product. Likely the reason your skin is still suffering is because you continue to eat gluten - granted unknowingly. Feel free to visit my website at healthnowmedical and you will see all the foods to avoid. Ensure you are clear on where gluten can hide and then see if a true gluten-free diet helps.
Let me know how you do. Secondary effects can also be in play, but the first step is to go truly gluten-free.
I have been off Gluten for a while, well I still eat Spelt bread, which contains a very small amount of Gluten. And even that's not everyday...But I still have chronic skin problems( extremely itchy scaly and dry skin) that flare up and subside for a brief period. Coconut Oil and Apple Cider Vinegar helps a lot but not entirely. Any help?
I am so glad that you discovered your gluten intolerance - the nervous system is very commonly affected, although that is unknown to most doctors. The vitiligo that you and your daughter have could very well be related as well. Let me know if you need any assistance. The secondary effects of gluten typically need to be addressed to ensure fa ull health resolution so I would be happy to assist.
I am 50 yrs old and just discovered I am gluten sensitive due to my nervous system being in crises. I believe that my vitalago is linked. My child also has vitalago and I am going to have him tested for gluten asap.
My dad is a neurosurgeon and I did research at UCSF, primarily using cell culture and bioinformatics. For years I was told this type of medicine was quackerly. Meanwhile, ALL docs I saw for my inexplicable itching, asthma & inflammation could not help me AT ALL. Finally I found out about gluten, cleansing, etc and my problems have diminished ~ 80%. Your clips are GREAT!!! Can you make a chiro referral for the Monterey area? I have a badBack, though I'm athletic. :( DON'T EVER GO AWAY..!!
@blondecrazygaijin - I'm sorry I didn't see your response earlier. I was just answering one that I was alerted to and noticed yours. I'm glad that you're feeling so much better.
I don't know of a good DC in Monterey personally. I hope you have found one by now. I not let me know and I can ask around further.
If you need any help getting the rest of the 20% healing done, please let me know. Patients come to us from across the country, so Monterey sounds pretty close! I would be happy to help.

@healthnowmedical Oh thank u so much, that's great. I lost my research position, unfortunately, so now I have no money for a great many things I need. But when I'm rehired (probably in SF but not in research) I'll be there FOR SURE..! You have helped me so much. My symptoms are exactly the ones that lend themselves to your therapy. I posted links to your channel in a number of threads in my (large) user group. ^_^
Hello lovemyselfforever, we are located in Sunnyvale, CA near San Jose. Please feel free to visit our website healthnowmedical. We are a destination clinic and see patients from across the country as well as internationally. We would be happy to see if we could help you. Best, Dr Vikki
if you want to clear your skin and keep it clear go to theaiam.com. thats how i cleared my skin of eczema and acne, they are a skin clinic and help people all over the world. i love my skin after using there treatment protocol
Despite being a molecular biology major in college and pre-med, I became a Doctor of Chiropractic and subsequently a Certified Clinical Nutritionist also, after experiencing an "epiphany" while working in a hospital one summer. Suffice to say that my concept of healing and traditional medicine's were "at odds" and I began to search for something that aligned with my purposes better. Functional Medicine best describes what we do here as a team at HealthNOW Medical Center.
(Continued...) In that light, could you tell me a little about your educational background? I am inspired by the success you are having helping people with difficult conditions, and may be interested in persuing a course of study that would allow me to do the same! Many thanks. -Karl
Hi Dr. Petersen, I wanted to say I've been incredibly impressed by your videos! The presentations are articulate, very detailed, and enlightening. Given the tests and procedures you describe, I assume you are an M.D., but the paradigm you put forth doesn't seem well known among the traditional M.D. community (rheumatologists that aren't interested in why their patients are making dramatic recoveries, etc.)
@CosmicDamian Hello, My degrees are that I am a doctor of chiropractic and a certified clinical nutritionist. We practice Functional Medicine here at HealthNOW where we have an MD on staff in addition to clinical nutritionists, a naturopath, a physical therapist and doctor of chiropractic. We are a team working together. A course of study you could pursue is naturopathy or chiropractic. They are two fields that have maintained their integrity to root cause healing. Good luck!
why a probiotic capsule ..what about naturally , with probiotic food ?
and why not mention anti-biotics are very bad for you, and the intestinal infection can be cured with ginger root, raw garlic or more pleasantly manuka honey ?
@dietodaydotcodotuk I think when she was talking about antibiotics, she was referring using them if you've had parasites. Also, a pro-biotic capsule is natural, it's just nice and compact and easier to take...
@dietodaydotcodotuk I agree , the problem is if you eat meat or dairy at all , you are taking antibiotics. This I think is one reason so many peoples digestive problems , skin , and energy levels all improve on a vegan diet within weeks . My girlfriend's dad was no longer diabetic after 3 weeks of eating vegan . Store bought probiotics simply cannot work if you eat antibiotics several times a day . Going on a 5-10 day juice fast cures most peoples skin disorders completely .
@dietodaydotcodotuk Based on labs we often find that capsule probiotics are needed to make the change we want. Prebiotics from food is good but unfortunately the Americans diet often lacks them. Antibiotics do have side effects but when weighing the presence of a nasty parasite against an antibiotic we sometimes feel obliged to opt for the antibiotic. Garlic and honey can be helpful but often insufficient to eradicate the organisms we find. These types of issues are lab test based, not symptom.
Probiotics are good bacteria that reside in the intestines and their job is to keep our immune system strong and prevent inhospitable organisms from taking up residence.
There are hundreds of trillions of these organisms in a healthy intestine.
It is thought that our poor diets, food reactions and hidden infections contribute to an imbalance and deficiency of these good organisms.
@gypsykatcher30 Prebiotics that help make probiotics come from fruits and vegetables. Probiotics can be gotten somewhat from food but we often supplement with capsules of human strain organisms at a level of about 20 billion per capsule. You need a variety of organisms in large numbers to create an effect, in my experience.
