Have you ever heard something so incredibly stupid that it makes
you mad? We have. Here in Tucson, we have more pharmaceutical testing
facilities than anywhere we have ever lived. One of them, Geneova Clinical
Research, is doing drug research on Celiac Disease. Here are their requirements:
- 18 to 75
- Have biopsy confirmed Celiac Disease
- Have been attempting a gluten-free diet for 12 months or longer
- Still experiencing symptoms when exposed to gluten – bloating, diarrhea
Here’s the problem. Whenever a Celiac is exposed to gluten,
they are going to have symptoms, whether they know it or not. It’s part of
being a Celiac. Why don’t we all sign up for this “scientific” research? Why is
it important to still have symptoms? Simple, the drug being studied is going to
allow the researchers to feed their guinea pigs, aka Celiac patients, gluten.
That’s right, when you sign up for one of these research studies, you’re volunteering
to be poisoned. We have a problem with this. What’s wrong with following a
gluten-free diet? Why are we considered abnormal or unhealthy for being
gluten-free? Why does everyone have to eat wheat? Is it just that it’s the “popular”
food? Why do we have to take medicine when a diet is all the prescription we
need? With Celiac Disease, we don’t have to take any medication, we don’t have
to worry about side effects, and, when we cook it ourselves, we are eating
better than most of America. So, the Masters want medical science to stop
trying to make us like everyone else. People are individuals. Not being able to
eat fast food is a good thing.
Fearlessly Gluten-Free,
