Can you trust Boots? Don’t Trust Boots Boots reaches new level of dishonesty with CoQ10 promotion This post is about a "functional food".  That is about something a bit more serious than homeopathy, though I’ll return to that standing joke in the follow-up, because of Boots’ latest shocking admission.. Alternative medicine advocates love to blame Big Pharma for every criticism of magic medicine.  In contrast, people like me, Ben Goldacre and a host of others have often pointed out that the differences seem to get ever smaller between the huge Alternative industry (about $60 billion per year), and the even huger regular pharmaceutical industry (around $6...

As noted in this week’s Newsweek, those with allergies and pregnant women are also saying they feel better on what’s come to be known in autism circles as “the special diet” or “the diet.” (Go here, here, and here to read some of our experiences with “the diet”; Charlie now eats wheat, though not dairy.) Is gluten-free the new hope, or is it more dietary hype, with Americans spending $2 billion a year on gluten-free products?

I still have a rather battered copy of Lisa Lewis’ Special Diets for Special Kids on top of the refrigerator. Ever since we put Charlie on the diet and I spent hours reading the labels of food products for “traces of gluten or casein” and tried to cook everything using strange new ingredients (tapioca flour, xantham gum, Vance’s Darifree), I’ve read reports extolling “the diet” as this October 26 Yuma Sun article. As a toddler, Charlie had rashes on his face and torso and these disappeared after he started the diet and we thought (we thought) he was “more al...

As a baby, while he did have more than a few gross motor delays), he had no difficulty learning to nurse. We’re not always or, indeed, often sure about what Charlie might be thinking due to his limited language, but we’ve generally been able to assume that he’s ever ready to eat. And then, this summer—-amid various other changes—a most curious thing happened. Charlie (who is definitely an adolescent) must be in the throes of a growth spurt. He’s needed new shoes after only a few months and shirts that seemed loose and baggy now are just the right length. He’s gotten decidedly lanky and lean. And he’s been eating less than he usually has, and left fries and burgers uneaten...

Charlie, who’s not exactly anymore on the gluten-free casein-free diet (without dire results), used to make a beeline for cupcakes. Years of being told “no, you can’t have that” led to him being something like obsessed with bakery display cases and to running a finger through technicolor birthday cake frosting whenever we looked the other way. Now that we’ve started saying “sure, you can get whatever you want,” he seems to have become more picky in his food choices and cupcakes have been left in the dust for brownies. See what a little choice can do. Share This...

Who don’t you know (sister-in-law, aunt, close friend from college) who hasn’t noted to you, “I’ve been going gluten-free and I feel so much better….”. As long as my son’s been diagnosed, the gluten-free casein-free diet has been touted as a potential “treatment” for autism. Once we were fanatics; now he has the occasional bun with his hot dog and I pack his lunchbox with sushi and spring rolls and other gluten-free casein-free eats. And I keep finding more and more gluten-free items in the local grocery stores and hear about more and more people trying “the diet,” which was most recently promoted...

After several years of faithfully adhering to it, with the rationalization that “since Charlie can’t say how he feels when eats wheat and dairy, we’d best just keep him off them,” wheat (not dairy—-milk products remain to be avoided) is slowly reappearing in Charlie’s diet and it’s been no big deal. Especially after Jenny McCarthy made claims of seemingly miraculous improvements for her son Evan on the diet, people have been wondering, and debating, its effectiveness. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston has begun one of the first double-blind, clinical studies to determine whether the gluten-free casein-free diet indee...

(a program of the Autism Research Institute) in an effort to facilitate communication between pediatricians, parents and researchers about the diagnosis and treatment of children with autism.” Very interesting—–I would not be surprised if pediatricians have been receiving numerous inquiries from parents about the kinds of biomedical treatments that DAN! supports. Hopefully the AAP can provide pediatricians with straightforward and thoughtful responses to parents’ requests and also provide solid medical advice about the dangers of some biomedical treatments such as chelatio...

This was back in the spring of 1999: We had just taken him (permanently, though we did not yet know it) out of daycare, where he was known to “carbo load” on biscuits, pancakes, and the like. We were living in St. Paul, Minnesota, and, while Charlie had yet to receive his official diagnosis of autism, Jim and I felt quite certain that this was inevitable and had already begun to read too many books and looks at too many websites. We had soon discovered the gluten-free casein-free diet and, within days, cleared the kitchen of anything with flour or wheat or dairy in it. Jenny McCarthy’s recent and widely reported on claims about her son’s “recovery” from autism have pu...

The reactions vary in intensity from producing acute anaphylactic shock for some, to skin rashes and digestive upset in others. It is also beginning to be revealed by various studies throughout the country that undiagnosed reactions can lead to the development of other autoimmune diseases. Certainly, many autoimmune diseases are passed down on our DNA but others may develop from years of eating foods which are not working for you. It can be a form of “eating starvation.” Some of these diseases could include MS, rheumatoid arthritis or achy joints in general, osteoporosis, lupus and even cancer. Many individuals, including me, have had years of digestive... Life with Chronic Pain blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1158494 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:04:59 +0100 1158494
