I am sure we are all concerned about the coronovirus coming here!  I have really improved my health and didn't get sick last year even though I was around people coughing and sneezing.  Celiac is an immune system problem as well as digestive, etc.  I started taking NAC- N-Acetyl Cysteine last year.  I take it twice a day.  It helps the body produce glutathione that some or most of us may be short on.  I originally took glutathione but read several places that the stomach acid renders it unavailable.  At the first sign of a cold, etc. I take zinc lozenges, 1000 mg Vit. C, maybe silver spray, maybe olive leaf extract if I think it is going to be bad.

A few years ago a study was done at a prison, giving half Vit. D and the rest got none.  The optimal Vit. D people got no colds or flu.  Years ago they used IV Vit.  C to treat Polio!  The pharmaceutical companies have done great marketing to change treatment!!!  I just read that China is using IV Vit. C to kill the corono virus.  We will see if media reports this!

I also changed my diet 4-5 yrs. ago to drastically lower my sugar consumption.  A study said after we consume sugar our immune system lowers it's response.  So, if we eat sugar every meal, every snack, our immune system is de-activated.

For all you girl scout cookie lovers I have two sources for them and also the gluten free ones!  The gluten free one is Caramel Chocolate Chip.  The cookies are in town now!  Susan 316-779-5687 would prefer to sell to northeast Wichita and Aleena prefers Haysville and Derby areas.  Her number is 316-393-7495.  If you buy a lot they may deliver to other areas.  Please leave a message!

I received 8 Canyon Bakehouse bread items from winning their contest!  There are several items that we have not bought before, such as the English Muffins, Bagels, Cinnamon Bread and Chocolate muffins.  We froze them but are excited to try them!

I have a friend near Kansas City that had a terrible childhood.  I told her if she gets her biochemistry balanced she would live a more serene life.  She went gluten free and dairy free and started taking B Vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, magnesium.  Her back pain went away, her depression lifted, and her EYE SIGHT  is now 20/20!!!  She is 76 yrs. old!!!  When she told her doctor, she became a believer because her patient no longer needs  an antidepressant and a pain pill.  The back doctor wanted to put a rod in her back.  The surgery is cancelled!  He had told her her back was crumbling.  I love to see restoration.  I know very well people that would rather take a pill with horrible side effects than change their diet.

Also, today I received an email saying I have won Canyon Bakehouse gluten free products!!  I did enter this contest a few weeks ago!  Have a great day!

My favorite celiac web site is:  glutenfreeworks.com.  I have their book:  Recognizing Celiac Disease written by Cleo Libonati and David Capuzzi.  I have used this book many times to figure out my symptoms.  Now, They have a treatment page on their web site.  I do not know how much it costs to join.  They have a listing of many symptoms that most doctors don't seem to know about.  One local doctor says he doesn't test for celiac unless the  person has a tummy ache.  Well, that's pretty simplistic for a complicated disease!  Some people do not have any digestive symptoms!

I guess we can never be gluten free too long to learn something new!  I never go to buffets because of cross contamination which I thought was due to the customers.  The restaurants use a thermometer to test the temperature of all the foods.  Sooo, they are sticking it in the gluten containing foods and then into ours!  I am not shy about asking restaurants to change their gloves and then watching them to see if they do!

Let me know which restaurants you want to meet at this year!
