1. It is now filled with amylopectin A - a super starch that is highly fattening
     2. It now contains a wide variety of super glutens that are very inflammatory.
     3. Modern wheat forms gluteomorphins - a highly addictive morphine like drug.
     4. It contains wheat germ agglutinin which triggers leptin resistance - which makes it so hard to lose weight
     5. Modern wheat storage and processing methods create whole list of new highly allergenic substances in the flour.

The wheat of our ancestors is called Einkorn.  It still exists, used mostly as fodder for grazing animals.  Modern wheat has been manipulated to have twice the number of genes in order to produce 10 times the grain yield per acre.  This manipulation is still going on.  In fact it is so intense that the baking qualities of flour change every 9 to 15 months - so much so that bakers have to go to regular seminars to learn how to adapt their recipes.

Amylopectin A makes our breads light and fluffy, but it also hit our system like a ton of bricks.  It raises our blood sugar faster than eating pure white sugar.  Each slice of bread (there is no difference between white and whole grain bread) raises you blood sugar faster and higher than a tablespoon of sugar.  It raises our insulin levels and set us up for diabetes and all the diseases that go along with high blood sugar.  Every time our blood sugar spikes up from eating wheat (or sugar) it inflames our gut and stimulates belly fat production.  If you have belly fat, then you almost definitely have a blood sugar problem from eating the wrong foods.

Gluten is the protein in wheat that makes the dough stretchy so it rises so nicely trapping air inside to make it light and chewy.  Heirloom wheat had very little gluten in it and only very simple types of gluten proteins (gluten refers to many types of protein molecules - all with different effects on the body.)  Modern wheat has 2-3 times the gluten levels with much larger molecular size and complexity, and much greater impact on our immune systems.  30% of the American population has the genetic potential to be sensitive to these gluten proteins, and that sensitive potential means massive inflammatory reactivity.  The most common sites of reaction are the brain (dementia, behavior problems), thyroid (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), and pancreas (late onset diabetes).  Less common sites are the gut (celiac - about 1% of the population), joints (arthritis), skin (psoriasis), and virtually any other part of the body.

Gluteomorphins - these are formed as the body breaks down wheat proteins.  These are highly addictive morphine like opiate drugs.  Gluteomorphins are powerful appetite stimulants that make you crave breads, cakes, pastries, anything with wheat in it.  The addictive quality of wheat is why almost every manufactured food has wheat in it even though there is no other reason for wheat to be present.  It makes us eat more.  It is why the drug naltrexone - used to treat heroin addicts - is being considered as a weight loss drug.  It blocks the addictive effect of the wheat so people eat less.

Leptin is the hormone that enables you to lose weight.  The Wheat Germ Agglutinin found in wheat blocks the leptin receptors in the body so your body just keeps on gaining weight. Wheat germ agglutinin can do direct damage to the majority of tissues in the human body without requiring a specific set of genetic susceptibilities.  That means everyone is susceptible to it.  Leptins are poisons mother nature wraps around seeds to protect them from pests that might eat the seeds (like us).  One wheat kernel contains 16.7 trillion individual molecules of WGA.  Ironically, this makes whole grains even more toxic than white flour, as the lectins are in the germ portion of the grain.  Wheat is toxic to everyone to some degree...so it may be very toxic or only mildly toxic to you.  Is mildly toxic ok to you?

Along the same lines as the lectin poison, are the toxic results of how we store grains and how we process them into flour.  We chemically treat flours to make them react better in baking.  These chemical reactions make them toxic.  These little toxic loads to our system every time we eat wheat build up and create the degenerative health conditions that are the major cause of ill health today.  One of the specialty labs we work with is able to test for the level of sensitivity to the top 10 different wheat components that have been found to cause disease in humans through a simple blood test.  Personally I recommend just getting off grains all together, but if you really love your grains and want to know just how badly they might or might not be killing you then lab testing is available to find out.

Bottom line: wheat is an addictive appetite stimulant that makes you fat.

What about the new "gluten free" food coming out today?  Unfortunately most of them are crap.  Substituting one form of blood sugar raising starch for another is not an answer.  Yes, you may be avoiding the specific effects of wheat gluten, but all grains cross-react with our gluten-sensitized immune system to some degree (as do all milk products).  The gluten free foods generally have the same blood sugar impact that our wheat containing foods have because they still have as many easily broken down carbohydrates.  The carbs are simply coming from rice flour, or corn flour, or tapioca flour, or whatever cheap flour they can find.  The only safe gluten free flour based foods are those made with low glycemic flours like almond flour, coconut flour, or flax seed flour - and don't add any sugar sources  (especially agave which is liver toxic.)

So if you want to lose belly fat and/or want to slow down your aging by slowing down such things as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, brain dysfunction, and the like, then get off wheat and anything that raises your blood sugar.  That means not only wheat, but all grains and all sugar sources that raise your blood sugar.  Every time your blood sugar goes up after eating the wrong foods, vital cells in your body are damaged.  The buildup of that damage is called aging.      

Besides the obvious benefit of Massage Therapy being a really great feeling.   Massage Therapy can relieve stress, speed up the healing process of injury's, increase circulation and oxygenation in the blood stream, ease muscle tension, aids in skin health.  It helps relieve sleeplessness/insomnia, relieves pain, promotes relaxation, improves flexibility, relieves spasms and cramping, helps stimulate your immune system, assists with shorter labor for expectant mothers, lessens depression and anxiety, helps reduce recovery time in workouts, helps reduce post surgery tissue scaring, and much, much more.

Massage Therapy as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying compassion and support. Think of the last time you bumped your head or had a sore calf. What did you do? Rubbed it, right? The same was true of our earliest ancestors. Healers throughout time and throughout the world have instinctively and independently developed a wide range of therapeutic techniques using touch. Many are still in use today, and with good reason. We now have scientific proof of the benefits of massage, benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind - there are specific physiological and psychological changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventative, frequent therapy and not simply mere luxury. Massage Therapy not only feels good, but it can cure what ails you.

Please stop by and see me or call if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, I have been a Massage Therapist since 1996, I've helped hundreds of people and would love to help you!

About Dr. DeLapp

Dr. DeLapp has been a philosopher, non-force Chiropractor, medical intuitive, and health innovator for over 30 years.  He began experimenting with  medical intuition in 1972 while studying physics at UC Davis.  In addition to physics he designed and completed an individual major in the philosophy and psychology of education.  Shortly after he choose to pursue a career in the only truly health oriented profession available at that time, Chiropractic.  He graduated with honors in 1981 with his doctorate and opened a private practice. 
Since that time he has continued his research into the effects of consciousness and learning on health. 
He developed the Biomagnetic Retraining system for correcting movement abnormalities. 
Since 1991 he has focused on developing a powerful system for uncovering and assisting the mind-body connection in health and personal growth.  The in-depth coaching, guided by the subconscious direction from the body, is called Heartflow and the simpler mind-body retraining for health and unfoldment he has named Gracework.  Both are available at Fair Oaks Health.
