"In the month since I started, I’ve lost twelve pounds so far. The
most remarkable thing for me, though–-and I wasn’t really expecting
it–-is that after the first week of being completely grain-free, 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"!


You can find similar anecdotes for Jenny Lind, Weight Watchers, the
grapefruit diet, the low fat diet, etc. Should we not do any studies at all then?
