Hello everyone! Happy New Year! The entire email below is cut and pasted from Dr. Tom O'Bryan. It's all about how to use the information obtained in the recent Gluten Summit. Apparently this "Now that you know, where do you go" webinar has been pushed back several times. Wanted you all to have the info! I have yet to watch the videos, just due to personal demands, but I did purchase the lifetime access package so I'll get to them over time. In the meantime, please also note our next meeting of the Gluten Intolerance Group, Gainesville Branch is at 6:30 on Feb. 13 at Jason's Deli. We'll be talking about cross-reactive foods. Please email me at GIGgainesville@gmail.com if you plan to come, since they ask for a rough head count.
Stay tuned for more details about the Orlando Gluten Free Living conference as well. That's one not to miss, with Alessio Fasano, M.D., BACK in Florida!

When we speak about mortality--and we
must--we mean those with particular disorders are more likely to pass
away early compared to others in the population who do not have such disorders.
Yes, ultimately, everyone passes away, but if the goal is to live--and to
live a vibrant life with a body that will keep you going for the long
haul--then we want to do so, in a healthy manner, as long as we possibly
can.
This is why it is IMPERATIVE…
...to discover whether gluten is impacting your
health.
This is why it is IMPERATIVE…
...to register for my free, online webinar, “Now That You Know,
Where Do You Go?”
In Dr. Jonas Ludvigsson's paper in the Journal of the
American Medical Association in 2009, he and his team found:
- Those with total villous atrophy who ALREADY HAD a celiac disease diagnosis were 39% more likely to die earlier in life than those without celiac disease. And, not only that, their quality of life was much worse: more disease, fatigue, headaches, etc.
- If the diagnosis was of latent celiac disease (“latent” means a positive blood test but no intestinal damage), increased mortality was 35%. Meaning, positive serology is NEARLY AS FATAL as total villous atrophy!
- In those with a negative biopsy, negative blood work but positive inflammation, the mortality rate was 72%...
SEVENTY-TWO
PERCENT?! 72%!!!
The mortality rate was
double in those who did not
receive positive diagnosis by
traditional testing standards!
I've said this many times and will continue to do so
because it is important to know…
Children diagnosed with celiac
disease are more likely to die
earlier in life WITH or
WITHOUT a gluten-free diet…
because no one treats the damage that
has already accrued.
So, could gluten be the cause?
Yes, it could.
And, we MUST DISCOVER
WHETHER IT IS THE CAUSE
NOW…
NOT NEXT YEAR…
NOT DECADES FROM NOW...
NOW!!!
Now that you’ve spent time understanding that gluten
could be the cause of more than 300 various symptoms, it’s time to find
out if gluten truly is the cause for you, a friend or a family
member!
My FREE, online webinar begins on
January 30th,
and you can…
Why should you attend the webinar? Watch this video to learn more!
The intent of the 90-minute webinar is to guide you
through the process of using the information learned in the Gluten Summit.
Recognizing that most symptoms are the last straw of a system out of balance,
our goal is to teach you how to ask questions of yourselves and your
doctors, such as:
- What tests should I take to see if I have a disorder?
- How do I convince my doctor to order the tests?
- Could it be gluten? Or dairy? Or another food triggering symptoms?
- When should I take the tests?
- How do I get them?
- How do I interpret the results?
- What if my results come back positive for a gluten-related disorder?
- What testing options are available outside of the U.S.?
Not everyone will take the same route, so we’ll cover
the step-by-step instructions for as many paths as possible!
DATES: January 30 - February 2, 2014
TIME: Begins January 30, 10:00 A.M. U.S. EST,
available 24 hours per day through February 2
LENGTH: 90-minute audio with video
REGISTRATION: FREE!
Join me at my FREE, online webinar, "Now That You Know, Where Do You Go?", and
reclaim your health!
I will leave you today with this quote from the October
2003 New England Journal of Medicine, “Every time the [celiac] disease is
clinically diagnosed in an adult, that person has for decades had disease in a
latent or silent stage.”
Decades? DECADES! Could this be you? Let’s find out
together!
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom O’Bryan
