Carbohydrate Addiction & Gluten-Sensitivity
Gluten-Sensitivity
A diet that contains gluten, gliadin, or glutenin
depletes the nutritional status and immune
system.
Nutrients, essential vitamins (incl. fat-soluble
vitamins) and minerals in can no longer be
absorbed once an inflammation affects your
intestinal lining.
This affects your coping mechanisms and opens
the door to chronic diseases.
Gut cells are replaced every 72 hours (if they are
not damaged) - but only if you do not re-assault
your system.
DNA can predict! - HLA (human leukocyte
antigens) are tied to the progression of infectious
diseases. Three of the most commonly found
HLA proteins are:

Some Interesting Statistics

In the hope that some of the following information will trigger that long overdue “uuh – aha”
moment...
Gluten-Sensitivity & the Impact of our Food Pyramid
For decades our food pyramid recommendations have influenced the way we eat. Changes
are planned but meet with resistance from the professional medical and food preparation
establishments. The “wheat is the staff of life” understanding and the “whole grain is best”
hype have started a trend that only now shows its dangerous sides:
All these lead to:
Gluten and dairy products make up the leading six foods causing intestinal inflammation.
Both are leading allergens. Both contain building blocks that prove to be physically addictive
(morphine). Hence, carbohydrate addiction.

are planned but meet with resistance from the professional medical and food preparation
establishments. The “wheat is the staff of life” understanding and the “whole grain is best”
hype have started a trend that only now shows its dangerous sides:
| Intestinal Inflammation - Celiac disease, Crohn's, IBS, ulcerative colitis, and many | |
| other intestinal diseases. | ||
| Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, Pre-Diabetes, and Diabetes | |
| Mineral Deficiencies, chronic acidity, electrolyte and hormonal imbalances. |
| Bloating, diarrhea or constipation, brain fog, sleep disorders, fatigue, depression | |
| Over 150 autoimmune disorders and other conditions have been linked to gluten- | |
| sensitivity, incl. ADD/ADHD. |

Some of these are linked to HLA-B8:
Cancer has been said to go into remission after following a gluten-free
diet.
| Addison’s (under-active | |

| blood sugar deficiency | |
| low blood pressure | |
| low body temperature | |
| anemia / iron deficiency | |
| celiac disease (not an auto- | |
| immune disease) | ||
| childhood asthma | |
| chronic autoimmune hepatitis | |
| dermatitis herpetiformis (celiac | |
| related skin eruptions) | ||
| type-1 & 2 diabetes | |
| Grave’s (increased thyroid | |
| activity with bulging eyes) | ||
| lupus | |
| muscle weakness | |
| pernicious anemia (chronic | |
| gastrointestinal and neurological disturbances due to an inability to absorb vitamins) | ||
| rheumatism | |
| scleroderma | |
| thyroid toxicosis | |
| ulcerative colitis | |
| vitiligo | |
| and others. |
diet.
What is Gluten?
The only effective remedy against this grain dependent condition is a 100% gluten-free diet. Less than 1 gram of gluten can keep your gut from healing! |
| Book Recommendations By now many good books about gluten-sensitivity and carbohydrate addiction are available. So are many specialty cook books. Check them out in our Amazon.ca Store! |
Gluten is Addictive!
Some Peptides found in Gluten (grain) and
Casein (milk) look and act like Morphine.
Celiacs and drug addicts show similarly
enlarged gastrointestinal lymph nodes –
sometimes misdiagnosed as lymphoma.
Celiacs too (like heroin addicts) run a greater
risk of developing cancer, altered T-cell and
spleen function, thus reducing the immune
system function.
An addict’s immune system takes 3 to 5 years
for recovery after drug withdrawal; it takes the
celiac 5 years of strict gluten-free compliance
for the regeneration of the bowel tissue.
Gluten contains 5 Opioids (A4, A5, B4, B5, C) -
Yes you read right! So do dairy proteins with 8
sequences of amino acids (casein)! On the
chemical grid the A5 (gluten exorphin) alone
occurs at 15 sites in one (1!) single glutenin
protein (equal to about 1nM of morphine).
Opioids (and opiates) interfere with our natural
“killer cells”.
In plain English: they disable our protection
against cancer and other diseases. This
interference occurs within 30 minutes of
introducing gluten to the blood of celiac
patients. In addition opioids can act through the
HPA axis (hypothalamic – pituitary – adrenal
control function of the brain) who in the healthy
individual are responsible for the activation of
these very same killer cells.
The gluten exorphins also seem to trigger
increased insulin production and release
(insulin moves glucose into the cells). Many of
the calories absorbed by celiacs thus are
stored as fat with the resulting tendency to
obesity. Moreover cancer cells need glucose
for tumors to grow which explains the higher
cancer rates among type-2 diabetes. In short
our gluten exorphins feed tumors.
