Top 5 Things You Didn’t Know about Gluten!
Special Guest – Dr. Tom O’Bryan
The video talks about Gluten and top 5 things you didn’t know about gluten.
What’s the first thing our audience doesn’t know about gluten?
Dr. Tom said “a paper just came out and said “Should we be nervous about gluten sensitivity?” and what it talked about is that people that have headaches as one of their concerns and seems becoming from gluten if they see the association… 36% of those people have white matter lesions in the brain, it’s dead brain tissue and of their group if the person is still having gluten once in a while consider once a month is once in a while, everyone of them have lesions in the brain.
Now lesions in the brain mean dead tissue, dead tissue means the connections can’t work quite the same and as spiraling down concept. For some of people that have recurred headaches, not all of them but for some of them, the culprit is gluten and we see it regularly when people stop the exposure to the food they are sensitive to, the headaches go away.
Other studies show, I’ve got 5 different studies in my old day presentation reversing the lesions in the brain on a gluten free diet, they do pre imposed MRI.
1 – If you got brain damaged sometimes it can be reversed on a gluten free diet.
2 – Skin. The age groups that are really interested in finding out and there are more receptive to what I eat maybe messing with me seems to be late teen agers, 20s, 30s going into their 40s, they’re receptive and what they don’t know, many of them, is skin. The skin maybe the only manifestation of the sensitivity so it can manifest as acne, it can be cold sores, it can be dry skin, dry lips, much worst it can be psoriasis, dermatitis, lots of technical thing but any skin condition that is not getting better with the treatments that should be making it better, just think about “I wonder if this is gluten that’s causing it…”
3 – Allergy. One of the most common symptom of allergies of any type is the tea. It’s the number 1 symptom and with gluten sensitivity it frequently is, people are just downed, they are dialed down in their vitality level and we often hear when you go on a gluten free diet within a couple of weeks, you’ve got juice like you haven’t had in years.
4 – It kind of goes along with brain function which the white matter lesions and headaches would be but that’s suicide. Suicide rage are increased in people that have silly act disease in children. There’s a 40% increase in the likelihood of suicide in a silly act child compared to a non silly act child. That’s bad but what’s even worst is there’s different degrees of identifying silly act, it’s obvious, it’s not so obvious or it’s really hard to identify, you have to know what you’re doing. And for that third stage where it’s really hard to identify, you need to know what you’re doing which is they’ve got intestinal inflammation but the blood test are normal and the endoscopy is normal but they’ve got the inflammation for that group, it’s 96% increase risk of suicide for children and it’s because no one is teaching them how to implement a gluten free lifestyle so they feel social outcast, it’s called social phobia, and they just don’t know they are embarrassed to be with their friends, they don’t go to the pizza parlor, they don’t go to school, they don’t want to eat with people in cafeteria and so they don’t go to school, they don’t go out and they develop a social phobia, a depression and the result is unfortunately it’s too high risk of suicide.
5 – Mortality, increased mortality with or without a gluten free diet. First – without, they did a 32 years study following people and what they found was that those that were vigilant about gluten free diet, their mortality was half of those that just silly acts in general cause in silly acts in general, you’re two times more likely to die early in life of something. It’s called the standard of mortality ratio, you’re two times more likely in general for all silly acts of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s or something but earlier in life if you’re silly act. Those that were following and strict about the gluten free diet, it was half as often instead of twice as often cause they’re taking care of themselves, they’re watching what they’re eating but those that were pretty much gluten free, defined as eating gluten once a month, once a month exposure they were 6 times more likely to die early in life compared to the general population.
Gluten exposure is 1/8 of a thumbnail is all it takes. So if you order a gluten free meal and they bring you your salad with croutons on it and you pick the croutons off, you’re going to get the exposure because there’s little crumbs in the greens, you got to get new salad, they can’t pick off the croutons, you got to get new salad.
Children diagnosed with silly act disease have a 3.2 fold that’s over 3 times more likely to die early in life with or without a gluten free diet. So those kids, they’re on a gluten free diet, they still have the increase mortality and die early in life. It’s because no one treats the damage.”
