Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says

[sense]

227. Add me to the growing list of people who've experienced

amazing changes in my health after giving up wheat. I had type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and high triglycerides. I was taking 5 different drugs. I had also come to accept that I was always going to be exhausted, that my joints were going to hurt and I wasn't going to sleep well.

Within 3 weeks of changing my diet, I had only insulin resistance, not diabetes and within 3 months my blood sugars were back in the normal range and I no longer had diabetes. I was able to stop taking anti-depressants soon after that and because my weight dropped down to normal, so did my blood pressure. I feel better than I've felt in more than 20 years.

Every so often I start getting cocky and thinking that since I've fixed my health problems I can go ahead and have some wheat.....I loved bread.... but within a couple of days I come to regret that. I experience really bad acid reflux, even though that was not one of my prior problems, and my joints start aching again. I don't sleep well, I'm lethargic and begin putting on weight! After living without those problems for more than a year, it's pretty easy to see what was causing them and nothing is worth going back to feeling so old and decrepit.

I'm quite certain that there are many people for whom modern wheat is not currently a problem and will never be, but for me and for most of my family, giving it up has been one of the best decisions we ever made.
