"In the month since I started, I ve lost twelve pounds so far. The

I'll bet it's not just grain free, but actually that it's a LC
diet,

And you know this...how, exactly, Dr. Carnac?

I
have not had a single headache of any kind, and I have been a migraine
sufferer since my teens. For the first time in years, I did not refill
my prescription for Imitrex.

"If stopping wheat had done nothing for me but get rid of the
migraines, it would be worth it for that alone. But my chronic
annoying post-nasal drip and constant allergy symptoms have also
disappeared; I ve stopped needing a nap in the middle of the day; I ve
stopped having any food cravings. I have also been able to stop taking
omeprazole for GERD -no digestion problems whatsoever now. My energy
levels are much higher throughout the day, and a lot of small daily
aches and pains -especially arthritis in my hands and fingers -have
disappeared."

"I ve read some criticisms from various sources of Dr. Davis s book,
but I am not a scientist and for me, the proof is, as they say, in the
milk-free pudding: I ve never tried any eating plan or diet that has
truly made the kind of remarkable improvement in my health and
well-being that this one has, and it was reading Wheat Belly that
inspired me to give it a try.

"To any skeptics I would simply say, it s a simple enough experiment.
Try it for a couple of weeks. See what happens."

Nooooo! *Don't do thaaaat! *Wait for a freakin' "study"!

Being a skeptic, I can't try the experiment. That's
because I don't have migraines. I don't have GERD.
I don't take omeprazole. I don't take Imitrex. I don't
have post nasal drip either. I don't take naps in the
afternoon and I don't have food cravings.

But you have no idea what wheat may be doing to your blood sugars
because you don't TEST.

You also have no idea what effects wheat may be having on YOU, because
you've never known life without wheat.

And over time, elevated blood sugars can cause diabetes, elevated
LDL-P counts, heart attacks, strokes, fibromyalgia, blindness, etc.

As I reflected in a previous post, millions of people with diabetes do
NOT know they have diabetes.

They, not unlike yourself, prefer to unscrew the engine warning lights
in their "cars."

Good luck with that!

Gee, and I still eat some wheat. Imagine that!

That's your choice, of course, but others may decide to pursue a much
different way of eating. A healthier way of eating.

Do you have to shill multiple times a day for the wheat
belly book?

Do you have to shill multiple times a day for a very, very sloppy way
of low-carb eating? Or for BigPharma? Or for ADM? Or for AIDS, Inc?

Here's what I shill for: Being the healthiest that you can be. Ways to
lose weight, keep it off, and avoid sickness in the first place.

I.e., PREVENTION.

Are you as sure about wheat as you are that HIV is
harmless?

Read my sig file a few more times. Eventually it'll sink in.

Some dogs need more repetitions than others. Ditto for some humans I
know.

That HIV doesn't cause AIDS?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure about that.

That AIDS is caused by diet?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that AIDS can be caused by malnutrition.

Chronic malnutrition can lead to immune dysfunction, even its total
collapse.

Which can produce diseases like TB, malaria, cholera, etc.

Throw in a lack of proper hygiene, dirty drinking water, and here's
what you get: DEAD
