DDD and Celiac Disease
I just briefly googled to see if there were a correlation between celiac disease and DDD.
Turns out there very well might be. There are forums all over the place with people asking "Is there a correlation?" with a bazillion people wondering the same thing because THEY have herniated discs and have had them since they were a teenager. That in and unto itself is too strong to ignore. |
If you think about it, there's pretty much a correlation with long-term inflammation and almost any chronic health condition. In that sense, unaddressed celiac is probably a universally BAD THING and I would suspect that there's a least a weakly causative link to be found for any whole-body health condition you choose. In a similar fashion, all of the information that Rich has posted about the health benefits of a good diet clearly implies a health deficit from a poor diet. Turns out the old adage "you are what you eat" meant more than we thought it did.

Thanks Jim and Bebe...
I met folks from the Hippocrates Health Institute (let food be your medicine) last week when I presented at the Annie Appleseed conference. This place is really whole body medicine. Here's a an except from a 1996 article from them: "...Today people want to go beyond health, to find happiness. If you are ill, you should be on a 100% raw food diet, for 1.5+ years. Approx. 97% of people who go on the Hippocrates diet get well within 1.5 years, 3% need longer. Hippocrates has blood profiles done, at beginning and end of their stay at Hippocrates, for all visitors. They are building a data base for study. If you are well, you can eat 75% by weight raw foods, mostly greens a...." Living and Raw Foods: Brian Clement Lecture notes I actually disagree with some of the points the author makes, but I like that he accentuates enzymes -- a crucial point many people miss. Only live food brings that energy we need to live and heal. but this is a '96 article....way ahead of the pack. Can you imagine how much daily discipline this takes? I've been trying and evolving for a few years now and I know it's hard work! But it's better than having diseases! It's all good. |

Of course, my son, who thought he was "helping" very sweetly make me a gluten free pizza and some GF french bread and cheese for lunch today after I fell asleep on the couch. I ate it, because, how sweet! But I feel like crap after. FYI, not everyone does well on a 100% raw diet. I have tried it a number of times and every single time I have gotten sick, and gained weight! I add in a little grass-fed beef, and BLAMMO! Energy, and the weight drops off. Further FYI, if you want o flush out your system, drink three glasses of water every day before anything else passes through your lips. It works wonders! |
