Betrayal - Episode 4

[Heloise]

Dr. O'Bryan states that drug companies have obstructed this series and that's why it is appearing on You Tube. People can support this series by buying the content plus access to 84 more interviews so it is generous of them to offer these seven episodes for free. There are several patient testimonials in this session; most were suffering Crohn's, Colitis, Celiac and one had ankylosing spondylitis. All had suffered from the medical treatments which are very inadequate for these conditions but all seemed in good health needing little treatment due to the diet recommendations they were given.

Going back to gluten, the most inflammatory food we eat we are not meant to eat. We are not COWS and wheat is actually a grass, so is barley, so is rye. We don't have the necessary enzymes to eat them. Grains are actually modified grasses.

There is one genetic marker in which the person should NEVER eat gluten, For the rest of us, one person will suffer the effects for an hour after eating, others, for three hours but you may not feel the damage at first. What happens is that the gluten will permeate the lining which Dr. O'Bryan compares to cheesecloth so for that hour or for three hours you will have a leaky gut. Then the tear heals until you eat more gluten.

There is one sensitive gluten test (possibly an IGG test) but previous tests had many false negatives so if you had one of those.....

Gluten can be found in sauces, spices, toothpaste, cosmetics and supplements, Dr. O said he found at a restaurant that they put flour in their rice. Who would know?

One doctor said that if a person has low B12 and low iron, they would consider they may have celiac. Before he likened the healthy lining of the intestines to a shag rug. You may not feel the damage until the lining is more like a berber carpet. So by the time you have symptoms, it has been going on for quite a while.

The woman with ankylosing spondylitis was getting cysts on her eyes and pain, ten medications only made her feel worse. Uveitis is the eye condition which goes with A S and can be very painful but it is a sign. Her trigger was actually corn. I guess a doctor would rather prescribe ten medications than say "don't eat corn".

Low acid is a major player in autoimmunity. They said as you age your acid is reduced and paradoxically guess who uses more acid reducers? PPI's are the third largest selling pharmaceutical today.

If you are ill, you need to change your microbiome, to change your microbiome, you must change your diet. Mostly it is gluten but also dairy and corn may be your trigger. But taking foods out of your diet is not enough, they really urged people to eat more vegetables and omega 3 fats.

It was impressive to hear about curcumin which may also fight cancer. He likened it as a conductor of an orchestra. He said it is THE most profound inflammatory modulator there is.

There was more technical talk about glycation and how clusters of disease are connected together and more or less support each with the same trigger. There is now so much evidence regarding gluten it must really be taken seriously and while some people can occasionally ingest it, the prevalence of autoimmune conditions are so widespread that it makes the argument against gluten much more powerful.

Thanks for posting and it was very interesting to read. The old-fashioned saying - 'you are what you eat' can have an affect on our bodies.

[MrsRaven in reply to shaws]

I know that if I eat anything with gluten in I am a basket case for a week. In spite of that I still can’t get gf bread prescribed. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise as I don’t eat cakes biscuits or anything like that, so it keeps my carb and sugar intake down.

[Heloise in reply to MrsRaven]

It is motivating to quit those bready things when he says it is actually ripping the lining of your gut. You won't actually feel that until the effects mount up. It's good you realize what is happening.

[Heloise in reply to shaws]

This is an amazing series, shaws, and if you can watch the whole videos you will learn and marvel at what is really known about autoimmune disease. Even if you know a lot there is so much more they are finding out about it.

[Treepie]

Gluten does not have any obvious affect on me although I have cut down to deal with type 2 diabetes. Had AS for fifty years,hypo for about 3 years.

[Heloise in reply to Treepie]

Hi Treepie, Then did corn affect you as it did this woman? She mentioned that her children were having problems as well so there is a genetic component as well....whether corn or gluten. Apple cider vinegar helps with A S as it blocks starch. I take a teaspoon or so before meals.

[Treepie in reply to Heloise]

No effect from corn.My AS was very painful in my 20's and 30's but now it is just stiffness.I guess I was lucky.Went to a NASS conference and there were a couple in wheelchairs ,some bent over and one chap who was straight but rigid.

When I was diagnosed ,if I recollect correctly,women were not thought to suffer from AS.

Not known that cider vinegar had that effect,been using it diluted to get rid of a wart : partly successful now trying duct tape.

[Heloise in reply to Treepie]

As we find out, conventional medicine has a completely different view of these various autoimmune conditions. You agree that A S is one of those? I looked into it and discovered as you said most often found in young men. There is a young man on you tube who discovered that ACV would block starch and helped alleviate his pain. Within five days as long as he used the vinegar he could eat some starch but he said the sugar had to be completely eliminated from his diet.

Treepie, this series shows the scientific facts behind the foods that can be so destructive to our biome. It clarifies what the immune cells do so there is no reason for us to be blind on this subject. If we could only find functional medicine doctors to help us identify exactly what our individual tolerance is. Elimination of certain foods and chemicals has got to be easier than taking drugs which eventually will not work and host a list of side effects that may be worse than the disease. I remember to this day although decades ago reading about a young girl that was given chloramphenicol for an infection which cause aplastic anemia and died shortly after. I don't know if the infection would also have killed her but there was no doubt about what did.

[Treepie]

Yes AS as far as I know is an auto immune disease.

Noted your reference to curcumin which

i think is an ingredient of tumeric which is being heavily advertised in the press only it is a brand containing soya! My physio says tumeric has had an impressive effect on joint pains according to his patients ,especially knees.

Hi Heloise

Once again, I am saying thank you, for sharing The Betrayal videos.

So brilliant, I cannot understand why many people continue to eat and drink commercial, profit enhancing foods, and drinks, that are not fit for human consumption.

I guess, I am not alone, trying to educate nearest, and dearest, family and friends, only to be told, they are happy eating junk. I find such attitudes cause me some despair. However, I follow the gluten free, health giving nutrition, and trust, that I will be seen as a great role model for them, one day. I just hope they don't suffer disease first.

My blood results are showing a decline in RO factor, (which is one indicator of Sjogrens disease), consultant showed me a graph line declining, telling me levels are normalizing. I sincerely, put this down to eating fresh food, organic where possible.

I am keen to watch the environmental hazards video tomorrow. Thank you. Stay well. X

[Heloise in reply to webar4780]

webar, if you are the ONLY one who acts on the information from Betrayal, I am thrilled. I know there is a psychological aspect to all this and convincing your loved ones means too much sacrifice in their minds but I'm sure there is a tipping point as in tobacco and smoking; finally people are seeing the evil but it takes a lot of evidence.

I need to finish Part 2 of Episode 6. Honestly another Summit started and a repeat of The Thyroid Secret have taken up my time. But I know that the powers that be are trying to undermine this research and criticize these opinions, but we won't be swayed, right webar?

[webar4780]

Indeed we won't!

Years ago, when I was writing essays, on a university health module, I remember writing about drug companies pushing drugs, and making people sick. The professor, previously a nurse, gave me a good mark. However, she concluded that I was seeing a conspiracy. That I needed to look at how much drugs mean to people. People with diabetes rely on them. Well, I thought, that told me!

I then ensured I gave her what I thought she wanted. Essays that praised the power of drugs within healthcare. My marks were always very good. However, I gave something of my soul because my beliefs were not as hers, or as the university dictates?

I believe, and always have, that education is key! Empower people. Diabetes can be overcome and or very well managed through lifestyle changes. Nowadays, this view is accepted.

I see more clearly now. Becoming so unwell, being pushed prescription, after prescription, was never the solution, for me. I have, and continue, to dig deep within. In essence, I am finding my own truth again.

I am past berating myself, for being such a fool. Perhaps, my early insight was before my time. Perhaps I should have been braver. However, I think the professor was just looking for a more balanced view. There is room for drugs but not always!

No matter, I have no one to mark me these days. Oh, what joy. We are free to choose.

It's not gluten. What is gluten... no one knows and I have a hard time believing that it is a thing that is part of what's in the wheat. Our ancestors ate wheat and corn for ages and no one thought of gluten and no one was sick or had allergies to "gluten." Think chemicals. It's the chemicals added to wheat, corn and so on that is causing these so- called new illnesses mentioned in the video.

I think that it's about time we speak up about this instead of falling for this gluten nonsense because if we don't, this will grow to an even bigger disaster. Why are Dr OZ and so many other TV so called doctors and for gosh sake, it seems any darned cooking shows are always and forever and for so long now have been telling us what is good and what is not good for us to eat!! I believe that it is "the worry they cast upon the viewers" that is causing so much stress about what is good for us and/or not. This worrying is what I believe is in fact, the thing that is making many people sick ... and this is a big factor indeed, because all of these so-called experts are working on our minds.... making us constantly, way too aware, about the foods we are ingesting for each and every meal... the constant little voice in our heads... "oh my...good or oh my, bad for us!" So it's more than the saying. " You are what you eat.!" It's more like, " You are, what you "worry" about what you eat!"

[Heloise in reply to Lily288]

Hi Lily, that is an interesting theory about worry and anxiety. Obviously you are not going to look into the science but there is an abundance of evidence but that's ok because there is a lot I don't understand either. Do you believe in antibodies? There are several that identify gluten but you are right about the past. They use an IGG test. Actually there is gluten in rice as well as others but those don't have the same impact. In the past there were no fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides so now gluten starts at a tipping point of toxins we cannot avoid.

For people who are really suffering and then find they are better by avoiding wheat; I wouldn't argue with that. I believe they estimated 17% of the population have a gluten "problem" but actually no one digests gluten completely due to its clumping capabilities. Twenty years ago I read that gluten was the stickiest substance on earth.

[Lily288 in reply to Heloise]

Hi Heloise, Science has its place but it's very demanding to remember all the terms.. Ive learnt some but I like going with the mind as I think our mind can fall in a trap especially if we are not aware of the games the big pharmas play on us. Like you, I like to learn and there's lots I don't know.. I was confused with antibodies because to me if you have antibodies it is a good thing cause it's fighting against a problem in our body.. anti means against to me, but if it's more complicated then I don't understand fully. And about fertilizer, I remember my dad using manure which is cow poo that became a fertilizer over a period of rest. Something some people are trying to tell us it's bad for our soil.

And again about gluten, I understand your point but I need more proof of what gluten really is. I think it's more about worrying that we've eaten this "gluten" that brings on the ill feelings... Some people call these a flu perhaps. I'm all for learning and to get to the bottom of it too.. Thank you so much for replying and sorry it took me so long... Merry Christmas!

[Margas in reply to Lily288]

Lily, everything created by God was good for us. But we are not eating the ancient grains anymore...

[Margas in reply to Heloise]

I would add to your answer the fact that we don't eat the ancient wheat anymore. Since 1968 when it was genetically manipulated aiming to fight starvation in the world...
