A Cure for Celiac Disease?
Currently, the only cure for Celiac Disease is a lifelong gluten free diet. That may change someday if Dr. Alessio Fasano has his way. Fasano, head of the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research, recently promised that researchers are “darn close” to finding a cure. According to Dr. Fasano, researchers are focused on a feature of autoimmune diseases called leaky gut, a situation in which molecules that cause the disease can break through the barrier of the gastrointestinal tract. “Fixing the barrier dysfunction is what we are focused on,” said Dr. Fasano.
According to Alba Therapeutics Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company in Baltimore, Maryland, Celiac Disease is “one of the few autoimmune diseases in which all the elements of autoimmunity are understood.” In other words, researchers already know what causes the disease, how the disease works, and the specific genes associated with the disease. Alba Therapeutics is also focusing on a product that will control the gastrointestinal barrier leak, or “tight junction dysfunction.”
Despite our optimism and excitement about one day having a cure, it’s worth noting that that “darn close” may be a relative statement. Once a potentially effective cure is identified, it will need to successfully pass through years of clinical trials and receive FDA approval before it’s made available to the public. For now, while we await the outcome of these promising developments, it is still necessary for all of us with Celiac Disease to continue following a strict, gluten free diet.
There has been a treatment for Celiac Disease for more than 50 years. It is call the “Specific Carbohydrate Diet” or SCD. It was developed by Dr Sidney Haas. It was designed to heal the digestive system by only allowing meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts and homemade yogurt (this is very easy to do). No corn, soy, wheat, or other grains, no sugar (honey is allowed), etc. My family and my sister’s family are starting it now and we are already seeing improvements (we have been GF for about a year already – it helped, but not enough). My nephew is 3 and celiac or highly sensitive to gluten (horrible skin rash and asthma). My other nephew is 5 with mild skin rashs from gluten. My eldest daughter is 10 and gets skin rashes when she eats gluten. My eldest son is almost 13 and has autistic symptoms, so he has been dairy free for 2 years (He was getting “high” from the partially digested milk.I had to figure this out myself as his doctor thinks he is “fine”). My asthma flares up and my scalp itches when I eat gluten. My youngest son, aged 6, becomes hyper and violent when he eats sugar and carbohydrates.
With all of these family members and assorted symptoms, going GF helped to stop further problems, but it cured nothing. We needed a cure, so we searched for answers for months until I came across the book “Breaking the Vicious Cycle”. We have only been on the diet for 2 weeks now, but I am already impressed. My 3 skinny children are gaining weight, while my husband and I are losing weight – without trying. The allergy shiners under the kids eyes have totally faded away (removing gluten reduced them). Their skin color looks healthier. We plan to continue the diet for 12 months and then see how well each person can tolerate gluten again.
Although the diet seems very restrictive, it is very healthy. It takes a bit more effort to make meals, it isn’t much more difficult than going GF. Let’s face the facts – the typical American diet is garbage and it is slowing killing us all. Our health is in our own hands. Most doctors don’t have a clue about food and how it affects our health, so it is up to us to take charge of the situation and “cure” this health epidemic through healthy food, not pills.
In Celiac Disease, there are both high levels of Immunoglobin A & G
which is the cause of the disease. HOwever, the Immunoglobin A is
actually helpful to celiacs because its presence lessens absorption
of gluten.
It is the IgG that needs lowering.
There are only TWO mechanisms that are able to lower IgG as shown in experimental subjects.
One is Altered peptide Ligand and the other is Oral Tolerance. Both of these are terms that researchers and the medical people use for these kinds of therapies.
The “TAO 1″ book is about healing and achieving long life by International healer Zhi G. Sha who says he gets inspiration from the Divine(God). Pages 6 – 7 of the book states:
In order to serve humanity’s health better …… it is vital combining all modalities of conventional medicine & all modalities of complementary & alternative medicine.
This formula for Celiac disease is exactly that – a combination of knowledge gained from medical research and its mechanism using Antigen, Herbs and Homeopathic medicine.
Research has shown that Celiac Disease is caused by high antibodies (Immunoglobin A IgA & Immunoglobin G IgG) &is an autoimmune disease. The IgA actually helps celiacs by lessening absorption of gliadin from the digestive tract. It is the high IgG that needs fixing.
An amplifier has a contol – moving it in one direction makes the sound louder & in the opposite direction brings less sound. The immune system has its own controls – blood cells called the Helper T cells act to produce more antibodies while the Suppressor T cells do the opposite – lower production.
Is there a mechanism able to reach the T cells & effect lowering of the antibodies? Yes, that mechanism is called Oral Tolerance – this is the term researchers have given to this type of treatment.
There is research using Oral Tolerance with various autoimmune diseases including diabetes, arthritis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune ear disease.
You can find this in the internet by doing a search on google.com and place Oral Tolerance in the search button.
A number of medical research trials have been done in this area since the 1970s, however, the results
on humans has not brought success.
For success, the research by Dr. Polly Matzinger proves that the T cells needs 2 stimulus to be fully activated. The 1st stimulus is by administering the Protein/Antigen. We cannot use gliadin because that is the one that has lead to Celiac disease. We use a protein having similar antigenic determinants as gliadin. This 1st stimulus puts the T cells in a state of anergy (No Activity). But, without the 2nd stimulus, the T cell eventually dies.
However, if this cell gets the 2nd stimulus or signal, it divides & proliferates – new cells are generated and will neutralize the high antibody production which goes down and will bring the cure.
Safety
1. Oral Tolerance is safe.
Dr. Howard Weiner, Researcher & M.D. has done trials on thousands & thousands of humans with Oral Tolerance formulas since the 1970s. He is the expert and has served as consultant in many experiments using the O.T. mechanism.
He states O. T. is safe.

2. Homeopathic medicines are also safe – they are sold all over the world
as over-the-counter drugs.
Research has shown that some blood components can be produced using various inducers.
For Example:
1. Interleukin 2 production is increased by taking Goji berry juice.
2. Tumor necrosis factor – production enhanced by lithium treatment.
3. Interferon – this factor works against virus infections( flu & colds) and even stimulates lymphocytes to attack tumors. Production enhanced by ginseng, altragalus root, shiitaki mushroom, licorice & others.
4. Interferon is also produced by a new and
purely homeopathic formula – Engystol made by a German company.
This 2nd signal is called CD80 or a chemical that resembles this molecule. HOmeopathy can produce CD80.
You can find more info about CD80 by searching the internet using the words Second signal , CD80 & T cell.
The cure is possible by combining the 1st signal Antigen and homeopathic formula together.

Do you want to say that there is a treatment of celiac disease in homeopathy? Is this disease curable if take homeopathy treatment?
