Hi everyone-
I want to share a current self-experiment.
For background, I was diagnosed with celiac dis-ease in December 1989 and have been strictly gluten-free since then.
Recently, my celiac antibodies were below detectable levels. This is expected when eating gluten-free.
However, on 3/3 I unknowingly ate several wheat crackers. This was more gluten than I have eaten in the past 25+ years.
No ill effects (or external symptoms) since then. However I am planning to test my antibody level (an internal symptom) again in order to confirm my continued gluten <strong>sensitivity</strong> sensitivity and celiac.
Why do I want to confirm this?
<em>Because by increasing vitality and balance with homeopathy this sensitivity decreases.</em>
This situation helps highlight the difference between a true poisoning and an <strong>individual reaction</strong> of a <strong>susceptible</strong> being to any external influence.
A poison will have the same toxic effect in all individuals (albeit at different doses based on individuality). Whether they are sensitive to it or not.
This is relevant to any seemingly allergic pet. An allergen is usually not toxic, but can be. A potentially fatal peanut allergy is just one example.
The trigger (in this case gluten) should not be the focus of your therapy.
Instead, work on decreasing individual sensitivity and susceptibility.
The Holistic Essentials Increase internal health and can reduce (and even stop altogether) that sensitivity by normalizing balance of the vital force and immune system.
I discuss this more in relation to sensitivity to garlic and onions in <a href="http://certifiedvethomeopath.com/are-garlic-and-onions-poisonous-to-dogs-and-cats/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">this article</a>.
This concept of susceptibility (sensitivity) to environmental influences is what allows living being to survive.
I'll let you know how high my gluten antibodies come back.
