Gluten is the major protein found in wheat, rye and barley, and its ability to create health problems as it is digested by the body is enormous. In short, the body’s immune system can see it as a toxin and launch an attack against it.
40% of the population suffers from gluten sensitivity, a genetic disorder that can be diagnosed through special lab tests. Symptoms include exhaustion, obesity, headaches, joint pains, hormonal imbalance, depression, autoimmune disease and digestive problems. Gluten has also been linked to ADD, ADHD, IBS and even colon cancer.
A new book, The Gluten Effect, by Drs. Vikki and Richard Petersen DC, CCN, takes a comprehensive view of how gluten causes a variety of dangerous health problems spanning most systems of the body, and how it can be successfully treated. The book is written for the general public but includes over 400 scientific references to take to one’s doctor as an informative tool.
Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of UltraMetabolism and The UltraMind Solution endorses The Gluten Effect: “The Drs. Petersen have cracked open a world hidden from view but one which causes untold suffering for millions. The Gluten Effect is a remarkable window into the innumerable ways which gluten can cause everything from autism to dementia, from depression to psoriasis, and so much more. If you have nagging symptoms that just don’t go away, and you have no idea where they come from, you may be suffering from The Gluten Effect. This book can save your life.”

Drs. Vikki and Richard Petersen are both doctors of Chiropractic, and are certified clinical nutritionists.
