Scans showed that one of his kidneys had not developed and bloodwork revealed high haemoglobin (17.7) calcium levels and low ferritin. liver enzymes were abnormal and levels of bilirubin, antibodies for thyroid and Tsh levels were high. The celiac markers were negative. As soon as he was put on a gluten-free diet, his digestive issues began to resolve. His energy levels and confidence improved dramatically and he began walking straighter. Thyroid levels came down to normal. Although there are no tests to confirm this, from the fact that his mother was gluten-intolerant, one can hypothesize that antibodies had crossed over from the placenta and harmed the growth of the infant, attacking the development of the liver, kidneys, the gut and the thyroid. his sister too had pCod, thyroid issues and a case of oCd. The child has embraced the modified diet to a T. he feels much better, confident, is straight- backed and the reports are all normal.

The Fantastic Case of the Golfer Child

Vitamin d is called the sunshine vitamin and is synthesized in the body during exposure to the sun. In the case of this young lad, his father was a caddy and he too had played golf all his life, so he got plenty of sun exposure. he came in for a consultation in 2015, aged 11, because he seemed stuck at four feet ten and he was just 36 kg.

hadn’t gained any height for two years. Blood tests showed his haemoglobin was 14.3 but his ferritin was low and so was his Vitamin d, even though he got loads of sunshine every day. he came from an underprivileged background so we did not suggest major sensitivity tests; we simply empirically applied grain science, eliminated inflammatory grains and added a multivitamin supplement to correct the nutritional deficiencies. The results were dramatic: he got a height spurt, gaining 1.5 inches in four months and 4.5 inches over the year. his game also improved with better hand- eye coordination and he began winning international championships.
