Fradulent Sites and how to avoid them...

decoremyeyes dot Com is allegedly a Fraudulent site. The Today Show did a feature on it. The owner of the site allegedly harasses customers. It will only be a matter of time before the world police finds this guy and arrest him, I hope. Why allegedly? We all know, that I can be sued for telling the truth. And besides, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

So, how do i avoid such sites?

The Major Drawbacks of a Gluten Free Diet

What are the major drawbacks of a Gluten Free Diet? I offer you 7 ways GF can negatively impact you and what to do about it.

1) Eating out is a lesson in futility.
Rejoice! Many restaurants now have Gluten Free Menus!
Spit Bullets! Those Gluten Free Menus feature Road Kill on a Salad!

GF Dining at its Blandest... :P

Are you Vegan? Vegetarian? Allergic to Onion? And Gluten-Free? Welcome to the greatest feast on the planet of ROAD KILL. Sorry! Has it ever occurred to them that Vegan and Vegetarians are not immuned to food allergies and sensitivities? Of course not! By the way, hospitals and their Mental Health wards tend to believe that all mentally ill with food allergies are chronic liars and can eat meat, chicken and other road kill. The next time I get so treated at a hospital, I'm suing for millions of dollars. And, the only reason why I will lose is because
1) I didn't die, 
2) I have mental illness and
3) Every one knows that you can't get a fair trial if you have mental illness and live in my neck of the woods.

They also have a tendency to think that Celiacs have NO taste buds and don't appreciate good food. Or, they think that "Well, its not my problem you are that way. You should just be glad you have something to eat!" or "We don't have time! Its bad enough I even have to accommodate you at all." This is not necessarily the owner speaking, but often the staff. Managers tend to be fools in this area. Many waitresses I've had issues with...especially at one restaurant that got raving D reviews! 40 reviews of 1 star or less.

What can we do about it?

GF and Olive Garden

Olive Garden does NOT work for Celiacs with Onion allergy! They may also not work for Vegetarians. I forgot to ask if their marinara sauce has meat in it, but I don't think it does, based on one of the reviews. Anyone allergic to onion is better off avoiding all tomato sauces anyways. Fortunately, I still can tolerate 'spice' level of onion in most cases.  

Soy Controversy

The Claim about Men and Soy:
If Men truly became impotent or infertile from eating soy, then Why does Japan and China have one of the LARGEST populations on Earth? Obviously, their soy was spiked with infertility drugs!

The Claim:
Quote from Mrs. Gurd, [Full article: The soy controversy | Trusted.MD Network http://trusted.md/blog/vreni_gurd/2007/03/24/the_soy_controversy#ixzz11ug9Nw14]

"Like all grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, soybeans have a phytate layer to stop the beans from sprouting unless there is adequate moisture and warmth. The phytate layer in soybeans is much thicker than in other grains and legumes and cannot be eliminated with soaking, sprouting or long slow cooking. This means that soybeans are very difficult to digest, and the phytic acid reduces assimilation of calcium, magnesium copper, iron and zinc."

The Truth: 

1) If this were true, then Japan and other Asianic countries would have an extremely high amount of people with osteoporosis because they would NOT get the calcium they needed. They consume more soy per meal then we Westerners consume per day. And, if you are on a typical Scandinavian diet, the Japanese would consume more soy in a typical day, then you would in a typical week.

Teachers and Students who bully those with Allergies...

On Kare11 News, they mentioned how 1 in 4 students with Food allergies are bullied by teachers and students.  Just   Google Search: Teachers bullying students with food allergy and see what you get.

Here's an idea to solve that. How about we take all teachers and students who bully a student who has food allergies, and arrest them in front of their peers, and charge them openly with premeditated murder? I'd especially do this is they tried poisoning the food in their teasing. I would, of course, fire the teacher.

Here's a thought: Blood test for Celiac Disease from Birth

Why not automatically test for Celiac Disease from Birth (Newborn Screening), and if the blood test indicates a good possibility, have the mother and baby both go on a gluten-free diet. Then, see how many children are diagnosed with Autism and see if the numbers go down mysteriously. I know, some think that Dairy may also be a cause. If there is a test that will test for Dairy intolerance that is fairly accurate, then fine, add this to the auto-testing as well.

An excellent article on this subject is Newborn Screening: Birth Right or Something to Fight? By Christopher Wanjek . Mr. Wanjek believes that it is better to screen then have the unfortunate outcome of crippled muscles and brain function.
QUOTE from Article:

Still, one can't help feel for Zachary Wyvill. He was born in April 2003 in an Oakland hospital that didn't test for an organic acid disorder called glutaric acidemia type I.
A second Zachary, Zachary Black, was born shortly later 60 miles away in a hospital that did screen for it. Zachary Black is living a healthy life as a result of a special diet and vitamins. Zachary Wyvill's disease went undetected for several months, and by that time the disease had become irreversible and has since crippled his muscles and brain function.
Testing millions of babies at a great cost? Treating sick children with severe brain and muscle damage at a great cost? Testing for diseases that cannot be cured? These are the profound questions surrounding newborn screening, not whether a pinprick on a baby's heel will induce an engram in its otherwise healthy thetan, as described in Dianetics.

 I agree. But, then again, maybe I am biased. I know what it is like to have Developmental Delay disorder. No one wants to marry me. I an considered an 'untouchable' where I live. I have very little friends - and people consider this normal. I hate your 'normal' with a passion. It makes for a very lonely life. I wish this on no one, even my most sworn enemies.
