Janet’s impressive Wheat Belly recovery

Look what Janet accomplished in one year living the Wheat Belly lifestyle: “Left at 53 with acid reflux for 10 years, asthma, allergies since 13 (on 4 meds daily), inflammation, joint pain from RA [rheumatoid arthritis], 50 pounds heavier at size 14. Always wheezing, so no energy. “Right at 54, no acid reflux, no asthma, no allergies, no meds, no inflammation, no joint pain, 50 pounds lighter at size 4, full of energy and walking 10-20 miles a day because I can.” Losing 50 pounds is no small matter. But being freed of all her health problems—gastrointestinal inflammation, airway and sinus inflammation, joint inflammation—is even bigger. Losing weight, particularly when lost from visceral fat, the peculiar hotbed of inflammation surrounding visceral organs such as the intestines, liver, and heart, can reduce inflammation. But it would not reduce inflammation sufficient to reverse the joint pain of rheumatoid arthritis, or the airway and sinus inflammation of allergies (that Janet suffered for 40 years), or gastrointestinal inflammation of acid reflux/esophagitis. People like Janet experience such extravagant reversal of inflammation because they have removed a highly inflammatory group of pseudofoods in the form of wheat and grains that contain proteins such as gliadin, secalin, hordein, zein, glutenins, wheat germ agglutinin, alpha amylase inhibitors and others. Remember: grains—the seeds of grasses—were added to the human diet in des...
