- AutismFor Carol, her health issue didn’t involve any gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms so it was hard for her to believe that gluten could be causing her migraine episodes. Since 1966, scientific evidence has been accumulating regarding gluten sensitivity without the classic GI symptoms. During the past five years, many scientists have begun to re-evaluate the notion that gluten sensitivity is solely a disease of the GI tract due to the overwhelming evidence indicating otherwise. Other organs suspected of being involvement with gluten intolerance include: joints, heart, thyroid, bone, brain, and neuronal synapses. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Huntington’s disease, autism, cardiomyopathies, dermatitis herpetiformis, dementia, and osteoporosis have all been shown in the literature to be connected to gluten.
- Multiple SclerosisAutoimmune diseases are the third most common category of diseases in the world. There are more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, including conditions such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and type 1 diabetes.

A study using patients with diabetic neuropathy showed that acetyl-l-carnitine compared to placebo produced a 20% reduction in pain (1). In addition, benefits were seen in patient’s nerve conduction and regeneration in the acetyl-l-carnitine group.

- EczemaFood sensitivities involve the immune system but they are not life-threatening reactions like food allergies. A food sensitivity is a delayed immune reaction (IgG) created by your body in response to being exposed to a food. These IgG antibodies initiate a delayed immune reaction that can create symptoms anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 days after eating the food. Food sensitivities do not just lead to digestive symptoms, but they can also lead to fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, wight gain, mood disorders, joint pains, headaches or migraines, eczema, skin irritations, and/or behavioral problems in children.
