What i found the most interesting about this article also, is that it has concurred my long-standing positive view of gluten itself, because of it's beneficial effects on the digestive-tract flora,
if you eat a strictly Gluten-Free diet, then be sure to supplement with very good Pro-Biotics,
because if your good bacteria count goes down and bad bacteria up, it could lead to auto-immune symptoms...etc.

Everyone should read the 1st full article, it goes into some of the MOST interesting details that i have read in years !

It's a Must Know, especially for it's clear and evident links to Celiac Desease and gluten intolerance,
and the similarity of WGA to a Virus is most striking ...

Please spread the word, and let's get to the bottom of this and to the root of the problem,

Cheers !

The wheat protein gliadin is a big problem. It causes leaky tight jnctions that effect our blood brain barrier, gut, epithelial tissue, etc. It is very bad news to have large protiens such as beta-amyloid moving across membranes freely. Avoiding wheat is a tall order, you may want to consider taking the herb gotu-kola (active constituant asiatic acid), It decreases permability of tight junctions...good stuff.

Great read in the OP first link.

this is another great article by the same author:

after reading this, looks like lectins is the real deal, even though modern medicine is totally silent on that.

i benefit from gluten-free diet (if i can adhere to it, very hard), but i may need to look into eliminating lectins and not just gluten.
