Dear Friends,
I just received the two links below from a friend suffering from this exact issue.
These morphine-like substances (casomorphins and gliadomorphins) that we derive from dairy and wheat, respectively, are critical
to our understanding of the power of these two foods. They help to explain why 75% of the calories in the standard American
diet (SAD) come from these wheat and dairy alone. Food addiction is a very real thing and these opiods play a huge
role.
As noted in one of the articles, many autistic children are completely addicted
to wheat and dairy, which is consistent with the idea that we become addicted to what will make us ill (cigarettes, drugs,
alcohol and food ). There are no healthy addictions and food is no exception. If an individual feels
like they cannot give up cheese or bread, then they are very likely to be having a problem with one of these foods. I counsel
people like this all of the time and can use that dependency to help them see that those very foods are a major contributor
to their IBS, arthritis, depression, or other typical signs associated with food intolerance. And withdrawal from these
foods can lead to classic drug-withdrawal symptoms as the articles below point out.
These sedating compounds are also the single biggest contributing factor
to post-meal drowsiness. I have proven this in my own life as I used to become extremely sleepy after meals starting
in my late 30's. My wife was beginning to think I was a narcoleptic. I would literally pass out during our favorite TV show.
I no longer exhibit this annoying and even dangerous symptom now that I am gluten and dairy-free. In fact, it has been stated
that more people die from falling asleep at the wheel while driving than from alcohol-related accidents. What could be doing
this? What could keep us from doing the most important thing (staying awake) while driving down the Interstate at 65-80 mph?
Now you know. Throw alcohol into the mix and you have a tragic situation just waiting to happen.
We need to become very familiar with these two terms. I have yet to casually
meet anyone who has heard them over the seven years following my first encounter with them in the literature...not a
doctor nor a lay person. Amazing. And yet they play a vital role in the lives of the multitudes, contributing to food addiction,
clinical depression, chronic fatigue, caffeine addiction, autism, highway deaths, and more.
Amaze your friends! Commit these to memory and talk about them at dinner parties.
You'll be the focus of attention. :):):)
Here are the links:
I do hope this helps. Now, go have some nice, warm milk and get a good night's
sleep. LOL (Talk about knowing something without really KNOWING it.)

I hope you enjoyed your time here and got something important from your stay. It is
my goal to help all of mankind navigate through the jungle of medical information now available on the Internet and find the
truth about the origins of what we call "disease" as well as discover the natural solutions for these conditions.
We do have our health's destiny in our own hands more than we've ever
imagined, certainly more than most have ever been told. Think naturally and the answer will come.

You can now go to the new site!
The New DogtorJ.com is done! Yes, the time has finally come for this homemade Website to go the way of the
buffalo. I know that you all join me in looking forward to using a site that is better organized and more accessible....prettier,
too! I've even corrected most of those annoying typos (I hope).
Feel free to check it out now at www.dogtorj.com. I am still working hard to populate all of the pages so don't worry if a link does not work. They should
all be active in the near future. In the meantime,
this current site will remain on-line until I get all of the bugs worked out.
Let me know what you think! It's not too late to make some changes.

I would still like to hear
from you personally, though.
I used to have a nice little form in this space that would
allow readers to send me a quick comment or testimonial. Unfortunately, as the Interent goes, I started getting
50-100 junk emails through this form and had to remove it.
So, until the new Website is up and running (soon!), I will have
to ask people to formulate an Email of their own and send it. I do want to hear from you so I would really appreciate
it if you could take the time to do this.
Simply title your Email "Visitor Comment" and include your name, occupation, comment/testimonial and
return Email address (if you want to be contacted) and send it to:
dogtorj @ dogtorj.com (Just remove the spaces on each side of the @ sign)
Please do not use this form to ask medical questions. See
the Contact section for instructions for sending DogtorJ an Email inquiry concerning a medical
condition.

Great News!
DogtorJ.com will
be getting a major facelift in the very near future. Yes, the time has finally come for this homemade Website
to be taken over by someone who actually knows what they are doing. I know that you all join me in looking forward to having
the site better organized and more accessible. It'll be prettier, too!
This is taking place for a number of reasons, the most of important
of which will be revealed in the upcoming months. Yes, the book is finally in the works but there will be a
major awareness project to go along with it.
So, please stay tuned. Anyone who would like to get on my mailing list can do so by simply using the visitor's comment area (like the one above)
found at the bottom of each page.
Onward and upward!
