Please feel free to forward "Marvelous Mondays" to others who will enjoy it.

Last week I introduced you to William Davis, author of the best seller "Wheat Belly" and invited you to read his book, to make your own decision, and to consider eliminating or reducing wheat.  In this issue I will share some of your responses.   

He is a Milwaukee based cardiologist, who used to do the typical invasive procedures.  Many of his patients were following the typical protocol for post heart procedures and had scores considered good.  Yet he noticed many had to come back for another invasive procedure.  He became frustrated.  So he changed his emphasis and his practice to preventive heart disease and he is now the medical director of Track Your Plaque, an online heart disease prevention program.  He writes frequently for prestigious national publications, such as LifeExtension.

Here are some of the responses from my readers:

1.  Restaurant owner serving fresh food says "I have never seen anyone who did not benefit from reducing or eliminating wheat".

2.  Weight Loss.  A Kansas City man says "All I changed was eliminating wheat and I followed some suggested recipes from Wheat Belly and I lost 5 pounds in one week".

3.  Energy. A nutritionist says eliminating wheat energizes everyone.

4.  Finally Motivated.  A woman says she had been thinking about the need to eliminate wheat for many years.  Now she has been motivated and is actually doing it.

Dr. Davis is an advocate for the reversal (not just the prevention) of heart disease.  That's a big statement to make and he says he can back it up with his own patients.  That's powerful and very encouraging.

Dr. Davis reports a wheat free diet has been associated with these significant benefits including:  

·  Weight Loss of 20, 30, even 50 pounds in the first few months

·  Alleviation of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes

·  Recovery from intestinal woes, like ulcerative colitis and celiac disease

·  Marked improvement in overall cholesterol and LDL counts

·  Improvement in bone density and reversal of osteopenia

·  Cessation of skin conditions from psoriasis to oral ulcers and hair loss

·  Reduction of inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis pain

·  Lessening Dementia

·  Slowing down the signs of skin aging

·  Improvement of autistic behavior in children [when there is also elimination of casein from dairy].

·  Reversal of the incidence of seizures and dementia which can be caused by the wheat's effects on brain tissue and other nervous system structures.

·  May reverse incontinence and lack of coordination which may be caused by the wheat's effect on the nervous system structure.

·  May reverse migraine headaches and stroke-like symptoms.

Do any of the above benefits apply to you or anyone you care about?  Then I invite you to:

1.  Buy "Wheat Belly" and read it-and decide yourself.

2.Experiment with wheat elimination, or substantial wheat reduction for just 7 days.

3.  List any benefits you receive, including

·       More energy

·       Weight loss

·       Better digestion

·       Better sleep

·       Other benefits

4.  Please send me any wheat free recipes you enjoy.  I really want to see them.
