My great aunt recently died and had dementia in her last few years. I want to send this article to my aunt (her niece) who has Sjogren's syndrome and lupus. I'm hoping someone in my family will make the connection at some point! They all think I'm crazy . Claire

So many in my family, especially father's side, have had terrible dementia in their elderly years, including my father. I bet the 0501 gene I got came from him. My Mom has it too, but I think it might be heart related in her, she's just not getting enough oxygen to her brain.

Great article. There is a holistic doctor that has an article on his site about how well "gluten sensitive" kids do in school once they go off gluten. One of my neighbors whose son was having behavioral and school issues took her son off of gluten (after some coaxing from me). This year he has improved significantly. He seems to have a sense of calm about him he has never had before and is able to sit and focus. While he did not immediately jump to being a straight A student, the improvement has been significant. I definitely think the combination of nutritional deficiencies and the constant toxic overload caused by gluten can significantly impair a child's ability to learn. Grace |
