@glutenfreegoodies Celiac disease existed before this. It just wasn’t ‘weeded out’ of the human genome.
@Loukas1964 I already fired him. Seeing a new Doc next week and if she does not order the test I’ll fork out the $160 and get it done on my own.
@bonzaibb12 My advise…FIRE YOUR DOCTOR!!! i had to do this myself……..
My Dr is refusing to test me for celiac he says its nonsense even though I have had most of the symptoms including vitamin deficiencies for over 10 years. I am thinking about paying out of pocket though a company called Life Extensions.
What could have happened that would cause humans to develope a negetive response to wheat. As Dr. Muray states human genes have not changed. One must then look at either the plant itelf or at the amount and volume at which it is consumed. Well thats easy enough. Around the Great Depression Wheat was genetically modified to be a more productive plant. This changed the Gluten protien molecule making it much larger and much more difficult for the human digestive track to absorb. Simple
This is very interesting. And I love this guy and his quiet, matter-of-fact presentation. You can tell he’s pretty smart,
