To Gluten or not to Gluten

I am in the process of reading this book to better help some of my patients. The book is called GLUTEN-FREE Quick and Easy by Carol Foster, Ph.D.

After reading the startling facts in this book, myself and some of my office staff are preparing for a Gluten Free lifestyle.
We see all kinds of patients in my office that are suffering with Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Auto-Immune disorders, Autism, ADD/ADHD. Once we get their lab reports back we have been noticing that 94% of these patients have a sensitivity to Gluten.

Specific Conditions for a Gluten Free Diet

---Celiac Disease can lead to the development of other auto-immune disorders as well as Osteoporosis, Infertility, Neurological conditions, according to the university of Chicago Celiac Disease Disease Program.

The Center for Celiac research at the University of Maryland shows that approximately one person in 133 in the United States has Celiac Disease.

There is no pill, vaccine or surgical procedure to cure Celiac Disease. Celiac patients MUST adhere to a lifelong, strict Gluten Free diet.

---Allergies and Intolerances:
According to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network about 12 million Americans suffer from food allergies and wheat is one of the top eight food allergens

---Autism
A neurological disorder that affects one in 166 children, according to www.autismspeaks.com.
A Gluten and Casein free diet can help with Autistic behaviors. Please visit www.gfcdiet.com or www.autismspeaks.org for further information.

A gluten free diet is also used by some people suffering with Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus.

A gluten-free diet is a diet completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, and triticale, as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent. It is recommended amongst other things in the treatment of coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten intolerance, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, Lyme disease and wheat allergy. Additionally, the diet may exclude oats. Some people for whom the diet is recommended can tolerate oat products and some medical practitioners say they may be permitted, but there is some controversy about including them in a gluten-free diet because studies on the subject are incomplete."The Gluten-Free Diet" ? CeliacSociety.com Even if oats are included, it is important to source these from a facility that isgluten free, as most oats are contaminated during processing. Look for oats which are certified gluten free if you are following a gluten free diet.

Chronic Pain,Numbness,Neurological Problems, Balance Disorders?

Five reasons why the latest, revolutionary, new technologies at
Willmitch Chiropractic can help YOU.

1: Dr. Martin Willmitch is one of the only Chiropractors in the Tampa Bay area actively getting his degree in Functional Neurology. Functional Neurology is a conservative rehabilitative process that is designed to treat chronic conditions that traditional medicine has not resolved.

2: Brain Base Therapy or BBT- A revolutionary new treatment program based on re-training the brain to perform properly. Right now your brain may not be functioning properly and this may be causing your pain. Our treatments are all neurologically based and clinically proven to help with chronic pain, migraines, insomnia, chronic fatigue, restless leg syndrome, RSDS, numbness, balance disorders/vertigo and some learning disabilities .

3: Exercise with Oxygen Therapy- your brain requires two kinds of fuel...glucose and oxygen. It's likely you are not getting enough of either. Exercising while taking oxygen directly feeds the brain's fuel tank. This activity greatly increases the brain's frequency of firing to help eliminate pain and increase your energy levels, thereby making the rehabilitative process much more successful.

4: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression- greatly lengthens and decompresses the spine to provide lasting relief from chronic neck pain, back pain, leg pain, and failed back surgery syndrome with or without hardware.

5: Functional medicine- Your nervous system's function is greatly dependent upon its readily available fuel source. Your body's metabolic function, or your endocrine system, is responsible for supplying that fuel. If there is a problem in the endocrine system it will not be able to maintain output levels of the nervous system and therefore allow problems to develop in the nervous system. We can analyze your blood chemistry through blood work studies to determine where problems are and then functionally support these areas and restore normal function. When normal funciton is attained, the nervous system will be more able to function normally, i.e. you feel back to normal.

Discover how the latest technology can help eliminate your chronic neck pain, back pain, balance disorders, headaches, numbness, neurological disorders, shoulder, arm and wrist pain, hip,leg and foot pain.

Tampa Bay Chiropractic Physician talks about Migrain Headaches

Approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraines, and millions go without treatment. Scientists once thought migraines were caused by abnormally dilated or enlarged blood vessels. Now, new imaging devices have allowed them to watch brains during migraine attacks, and scientists are discovering that sufferers have abnormally excitable neurons or brain nerve cells.
The latest migraine research has yielded a mechanism called cortical spreading depression, or CSD. Prior to the onset of pain in a migraine, researchers have observed a sudden burst of cortical activity that occurs most commonly in the occipital lobes (back part of the brain). The occipital lobe will increase in frequency of firing, or have a burst of activity, and then there will be an episode of silence or depressed activity. The actual activity of the brain becomes depressed when compared to normal. The resulting pain comes from either the brain stem activation or from blood vessels inflamed by rapidly exchanging blood flow – or both.
I take a different approach to the treatment and prevention of headaches and migraines. After a thorough neurological examination I determine which part of the nervous system is not functioning properly. In many headache and migraine patients I may find a high mesencephalic output.
There are three parts to the brain stem: top, middle, and lower. The mesencephalon is the top part of the brain stem. A high output of the mesencephalon will cause an increased pulse and heart rate, inability to sleep or waking up from fitful sleep, urinary tract infection, increase warmth or sweating, and sensitivity to light.
Along with a high mesenphalic output, the patient may have a decreased output of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is in the back part of the brain, and it controls all of the involuntary spinal musculature.
No matter what the condition, it is imperative that the doctor performs a thorough and comprehensive exam to determine the exact nature of the patient’s condition.
