Drug Induced Nutritional Loss – A Threat to Your Health

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

The Road to Recovery Requires Re-evaluation…

Many of you who are trying to recover your health may not have looked at your medications as a potential to create nutritional deficits and subsequently create health problems. Often times the health problems caused by nutritional deficits are the same issues that we are being prescribed a medication for in the first place.  This can lead to long term confusion and failure to address the full scope of our illnesses.  Fox News recently interviewed me on this very vital health topic…

Your Doctor Should Consider Nutrition

Regardless of the medication being used, your doctor should consider the potential for long term vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Failure to do so can lead to additional health problems for you. The following diagram illustrates a common example (high blood pressure patients) of the cycle I see in patients trying to recover from gluten:

healing from gluten damage - consider medications

Is a Multi Vitamin Enough?

Although a good place to start, a multi vitamin is not always enough to correct these deficiencies. Often times a therapeutic dose is required to overcome the deficit. The best thing you can do is to have your doctor run appropriate lab testing to measure for vitamin and mineral deficiencies every 6 months for as long as you are taking the medication(s).

If you want to learn more about how specific medications can deplete vitamins and minerals, go here now <<<

Always looking out for you,

Dr. O

The Gluten Free Diet Needs a Definition Overhaul

Monday, February 20th, 2012

The Term Gluten is Evolving as More & More Research is Done

I was recently invited to speak about gluten and food allergies on Fox News.  In the interview, I discuss some of the newer research pertaining to gluten sensitivity.  Additionally, I discuss how many legumes (soy, peanuts, etc) can create the same type of damage as gluten.  I also referred to a new research study has identified 2  forms of corn gluten that trigger an immune response in patients with gluten sensitivity.  You can watch the video below:

About the new study on corn maize (gluten)

Two forms of corn gluten were found to stimulate an immune reaction is patients with gluten intolerance.  In a published report, the scientists stated:

some maize prolamins (zeins) contain amino acid sequences that resemble the wheat gluten immunodominant peptides…Results concur to indicate that relative abundance of these zeins, along with factors affecting their resistance to proteolysis, may be of paramount clinical relevance, and the use of maize in the formulation and preparation of gluten-free foods must be reevaluated in some cases of celiac disease.

This is not the first research study that has identified corn glutens as detrimental.  It is just the most recent.

Gluten Free Food Industry Needs To Make Changes

Gluten free substitute products are full of corn and corn byproducts.  For a comprehensive list of corn based ingredients go here <<< Aside from containing a detrimental form of gluten, corn is not a healthy staple food.  As a matter of fact, the U.S. government banned the sale of processed corn products in 1943 because they induce B-vitamin deficiency disease.  Today, this grain must be fortified with synthetic B-vitamins before being sold.  Does that sound healthy to you?
