Celiac, grain alcohol and a ramble
Thanks Uny.
I hear and agree with everything that you've said, but I still don't feel comfortable with the potential gluten from the grain alcohol. I have been gluten free for five years and it would take a lot more than one little Curezone conversation to convince me to purposefully injest gluten of any kind, in any amount, however small.
So, back to my original question. How about potato vodka? Have you encountered others with celiac on your forum?
I guess I might try making the tea. I don't have any qualms with my mouth feeling numb or tingly. That actually sounds nice.
As far as me "writing off" an herb or natural healing completely, that will never happen. But, I do have to use my own intuition, experience and powers of discernment to navigate the best path for me. I have been sick long enough to know for myself that no one healer will have all of the answers for any one person. I would love to just hop on board with this program, but I have to take baby steps that I'm comfortable with...
Anyhow, I believe in the power of all herbs, but I don't believe that all herbs are appropriate for everyone at all times. (obviously). So, I'm asking for patience as I learn to discern what is appropriate for me in the present. My goal is freedom and an easy body... But in the present I'm jailed by a complicated system and I'm looking for keys to unlock it one at a time.
That being said, I'm open to trying the IF's even with the presence of garlic, which I haven't eaten for three years because I started having horrendous gas when I ate it. And I'm willing to try the charcoal even though I'm a little afraid of the possibility of getting clogged up. And I'm willing to try cayenne, even though I'm afraid of exacerbating the ulcerations of my gum tissue and potentially reigniting what appeared to be gastritis.
The point is that I'm willing to try. But these are understandable concerns I think.
