Gut And Psychology Syndrome-Autism, Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride
Neuropsychological Disorders and GAPS, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
Don't be intimidated by science! There is none so blind as the double blind! Trust your common sense and your life experience." - Dr. Campbell-McBride
"Vast majority of epilepsy cases in children are due to toxin accumulation in the brain. When the amounts of toxins reach dangerous levels the brain sends an electric discharge to get rid of it all in one go. So, an epileptic fit is a safety valve for the brain, a cleansing procedure. In order to help the child we need to remove the toxins. In majority of cases these toxins come from the gut, so treatment has to concentrate of the child's digestive health." - Dr. Campbell-McBride
Children with Type 1 Diabetes have a damaged gut wall, which allows partially digested foods into the body. The immune system develops antibodies against these foods which then cross react with certain proteins in the pancreas. By destroying those proteins the antibodies damage insulin production in the pancreas and the child develops Insulin Dependant Diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes). Heal the gut wall and the pancreas will have a chance to recover." - Dr. Campbell-McBride
In 1951 Dr S Haas and Dr M Haas published "The Management of Celiac Disease", the most comprehensive medical text on celiac disease. The Haas Specific Carbohydrate Diet was accepted by medical colleagues throughout the world as a cure for celiac disease. Within one year after the publication of the Drs. Haas's book, a singular report appeared in the English medical journal, Lancet. A group of six faculty members of the Departments of Pharmacology and of Paediatrics of the University of Birmingham, after testing only ten children, decided that it was the protein gluten, in wheat and rye flour that was causing celiac symptoms. And overnight, the hypothesis gained ready acceptance. No need now for doctors to worry about adhering to a diet which eliminated specific carbohydrates found in many foods; only one dietary exclusion would have to be made and that was the gluten in wheat and rye flour. No need to delve into food biochemistry and ask why gluten-containing foods such as corn would be permissible: it was to be a "black and white" remedy with no shades of grey. Some patients showed remarkable clinical improvement in their general well-being after following a "gluten-free" diet. However, biopsy samples, as viewed under the microscope, showed intestinal cells that were still markedly abnormal.Thousands of patients are following "gluten-free" diets and are getting minimal relief, if any. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet has been shown to completely cure most cases of celiac disease if followed for at least one year." - Elaine Gottschall, 2000. |
