  • @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.

    Best,

  • @blondecrazygaijin - I'm so glad this has been helpful for you. And soon you'll be local - SF is very close to us!

  • Dear tosca990,

    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.

    Best,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Why does she look so happy while speaking?!?! Nope nothing happy bout it!

  • Great information! Thank You for posting this!

  • @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. ^_^
