The Gluten/Casein Argument
By Dogtor John

Hi Everyone,
I now contend that gluten, casein, soy, and corn
are not GOOD for anyone. Its just that some tolerate them better
than others. The lectins of these foods are inherently bad for simple-stomached
animals, especially in the quantities that we now consume.
Original wheat was 1-2% gluten. In the mid 400s
AD, our northern Germanic ancestors had the "brilliant"
idea of mixing two strains of Triticum with what I like to call
"God's wheat" and they created "common wheat",
from which our current wheat is derived. Much of our wheat now contains
a whopping 55% gluten. BUT, look at the bread bag labels. The second
ingredient is wheat gluten. Wow! Only God knows how much gluten
is now in a slice of bread.
There is an exact parallel with casein in cow's
milk. Goat milk had 1-2% casein, if that. Some species of goats
have no casein. And yet, a whopping 80% of the protein in cow milk
comes from casein. See the parallel?
But add to that the incredibly sad and startling
fact that nearly 75% of the calories in the American diet come from
wheat and dairy alone. Now add to that the fact that 40% of first
degree relatives to a celiac will have celiac disease (and I would
contend that casein intolerance is the same). So, the problems with
these foods are skyrocketing and VERY explainable.
What is the only safe way to consume these foods?
Ferment them. Only fermentation inactivates the lectins to a reasonable
degree. Who can ferment these foods naturally? Only ruminants can
in their forestomachs. So, when someone says logically that cow
milk is made for cows, they are right. Only the cow (or another
ruminant) can ferment that milk. That is why fermented dairy products
have been used through the ages. Same for weeds like triticum. Who
can digest them? Cattle, sheep, and goats. Hey, that is why sourdough
bread became more popular, right? But even more interesting, that
is why cornbread was developed in the South. The new arrivals...the
slaves...had never had wheat before they were taken from their homeland.
They did not grow the whitemans common wheat in Africa. And it has
been reported that 40% (there's that number again) died of dysentery
on the slave boats before they ever reached port. Wow! What did
they get on the boat to eat...bread and water? What did they die
of...acute celiac disease?
We have to face it. Man has made some serious mistakes
in the past and we continue to do so. Amen? First, we create common
wheat 'cause we get tired of "breaking bread". Then we
jump ship from goat's to cow's milk (about 1300-1500AD). Bad mistake.
THEN, we start eating soy..the "third plague" as I call
it. Then, we take corn...which was bad enough as it was...and genetically
modify it to death over the past 20 years. Hey, put "corn gluten
meal" in your search and see what you get. Yep...it KILLS other
plants. Hmmm... Look up Starlink corn (CRY9C). Woof...what a story.
These are the four foods that induce villous atrophy.
And there is a reason for that. They contain things that will harm
us. As much as we don't like that villous atrophy, it actually happens
for a reason...to warn us and to block the absorption of things
like lectins, estrogens, excess glutamate, and other things that
the foods contain. How cool is that to see?
And what about "outgrowing" these things?
I don't think we outgrow them. At best we "adapt" to them.
How do we do that? (See the virus thread I have going.) I counsel
people all of the time in their 40s and 50s who are having dairy
issues who can state definitively that they were dairy intolerant
as babies and kids but "outgrew" those symptoms. Here's
the scary part- Our body doesn't always keep warning us in the same
way.The warning signs change, going from colicky babies to chronic
Strep throat/otitis media to asthma to heartburn to IBS to colitis.
We adapt and the signs change but if you understand ALL of the signs,
there is usually some sign that persists.
But here is the REALLY cool thing to see. I discovered
this as I started to study homeopathic medicine. There is a saying
that we use- "What doesn't kill you makes ya stronger".
There is some truth in that, especially when it comes to homeopathy.
In some homepathic remedies, we administer small amounts of something
that would otherwise be toxic in higher doses to help us get over
certain conditions. How does THAT work? By forcing us to adapt and
that adaptation makes us stronger...in some cases. In others, it
simply postpones the inevitable. It would ALWAYS be better to eliminate
an offending substance outright than to try to force an adaptation
to it, wouldn't it?
And here is the cool thing- The trace amounts of
gluten in early wheat and the trace amounts of casein in goat milk
PREPARED us for the coming mistakes that we were about to make that
I described above. Yes, homeopathic principles were taking place
for millennia, preparing us for the impending challenge. Wow! I
love it. If we had not been exposed to gluten and casein in small
quantities, think of the devastation the consumption of those would
have wrought had it been done suddenly.
AND that explains why, every time you read about
immune-mediated diseases and cancer rates, we see the same at-risk
groups leading the pack- Black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic
Americans and Native American Indians. Why is that? They have had
the least amount of time to adapt to the diet of the ancestors of
caucasian Americans. Plain and simple!!! Look at the health of Asians
in their native land on their traditional diets (no gluten, casei
or corn and very little but fermented soy) compared to what happens
to them when they come to America and eat our diet. Wowser! Asian
American women lead the pack in breast cancer now where in their
homeland on their diet they haved a 15 times lower breast cancer
rate. How can that be? Think about those slave ships again.
So, for those that have a hard time seeing that
these foods are bad, give 'em a history lesson. If they haven't
seen man's MO yet...that when it comes to "nature", we
mess up just about everything we touch...then they will either have
a hard time seeing this or this will be JUST the thing to snap them
out of the dream world...the Matrix...they are living in.
Hope this helps,
