An interview with Tom O'Bryan, DC, CCN
Dr. O'Bryan discusses how countless people with neurological and behavioral conditions - including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, migraine headaches, and childhood developmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD -- also have sensitivities to wheat.
He says: "Up to 90% of my patients who complain of these kinds of neurological and behavioral problems also have documented elevated antibodies to wheat, indicative of wheat sensitivities. The connection is undeniable. When these people stop eating wheat, their symptoms invariably diminish." In his talk, Dr. O'Bryan, who is joined by nutritionist Lisa Stimmer, tells how to recognize whether your symptoms are wheat-connected, and how to omit wheat from your diet – even though many foods have wheat as their primary ingredient. Ms. Stimmer also shares practical tips on how to shop for and select a variety of wheat-free foods.
