New Blog, New Site, & The Land Down Under

As evidenced by the lack of posts lately, it would seem obvious that blogging is the last thing on my mind.

Yes!! No!! I mean....

While I have been VERY busy, I have been thinking about blogging and even participating a bit, although not on this particular page.

I've moved my blog to The Wise Alternative and have been extremely busy with website redesign, products, photography and a jillion other things.

 Btw a jillion comes right after a trillion....just don't tell the politicians. Ha

While I've been doing all of these things, I've also been featured in a blog post by Amy Backs of Gluten Free, Soy Free Aussie that you should definitely read.  It's called "A Possible "Natural" Solution to Gluten Intolerance.  Amazing post and comments.....Thanks Amy!

I'm having a bit of trouble with my RSS button so people can subscribe to the new blog feed.  I'm a novice when it comes to these things and Wordpress is a brand new challenge as well.

I hope to have this subscription feed fixed in the next few days and I hope you'll come over to the new blog.  I'll check back in a couple of days and let everyone know what the status is.  If there are Wordpress pro's out there I'd love to hear from you. Email me jason@thewisealternative.com or comment below.

Have a great one and talk to you soon!!

What A Wednesday Video - Answering The Questions

As evidenced by this blog....and MANY others....food is an integral part of our lives.  Obviously we eat for the pleasure of it...as well as the whole staying alive part.  I loooove food of all kinds as many can tell you and nobody enjoys a good meal as much as me.  For many people....especially in recent years...food has become something that must be approached with caution, or a critical eye, if you will, because of an allergy ranging from mild discomfort to a medical emergency. 

One of these conditions that has gained national attention in recent years is Celiac disease or gluten intolerance.  Many of you are very familiar and some may not be so I will give a short description.

Celiacs are people who cannot eat many types of food or what I call BROWS...Barley, Rye, Oats, Wheat and Spelt.  Unfortunately, these 5 things listed are in an unbelievable amount of our food and food products either naturally or as an additive.  Celiacs have an allergic reaction to the gluten that is found in these items, and symptoms range from violent stomach issues when ingested, bowel problems, eczema, psoriasis, autism among children, miscarriage and many others.

This disorder is only now becoming more understood as well as the host of conditions it has been directly linked to.  Many people are searching high and low for more information so that they can become more well informed and take an active part in their health.

I have...on so many occasions....answered questions about one of our products, Gluten Sensitivity Formula,(formerly Intestinal Calm) for Celiac disease....and will happily do so again.  (Please read all about our Gluten Sensitivity Formula and the double blind study behind it, by clicking the link.)

However...I'm not a famous celebrity that endorses a product or wears certain outfits clothes (sorry, guys just can't say OUTFIT...it's a physical impossibility...or it should be) to a big event...thereby causing a run on this shoe or that shirt, etc...What's up with that anyway??  I'm simply a father, brother, son and uncle to some of the best family a person could wish for. 

Occasionally....I have an idea that bounces around in my head at the most unusual of times.....as I'm driving the kids to school, cooking breakfast or staring at the ceiling as I try to go to sleep.....you all know what I'm talking about....one of those...."Why in the world didn't I think of this MONTHS ago!!" moments...

After speaking with Dr. Block about my idea....he graciously agreed to a video shoot about our patented product.

J.E. Block MD, PHD, FACP is the doctor here in Tulsa, OK that commissioned the double blind study on one of our most talked about products, Gluten Relief, for Celiac disease.  He has a curriculum vitae that I couldn't type unless I had a few un-interrupted hours but I'll just give you some of the high points and let you make your own decision.....

He is board certified in Internal Medicine and also Urgent Care, two decades as a small town doctor in Kansas, former hospital Chief of Staff, educator for many years on the faculties of UCLA Medical School, University of Missouri Medical School and the Oklahoma State University School of Osteopathic Medicine.

I hope this video will answer questions, inform the public and most of all....help people!  It's your health....be informed, take part in it, and do everything you can to make it great!!



We are currently redesigning our label and will post a fresh video when available.

At the time of this posting....many thousands of people have taken only 1 - 3 bottles of our Gluten Sensitivity Formula with amazing results.  We recommend a companion product, Glandular Calm, to be taken in conjunction with the first bottle that will allow the body to assimilate and absorb B-12....which Celiacs are deficient in.  Of these people, the majority have chosen to resume eating gluten (as long as 4+ years ago) as a part of their diet with no ill effects.

Some people have chosen to remain on their gluten free diet after taking our Gluten formula and we certainly understand and respect that decision.  They have however, found great peace of mind to know that their health has not been compromised by accidental ingestions that occasionally happen to all those who strive to eat gluten free.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have individually.....Feel free to email me at jason@thewisealternative.com  or in the comment section.  I will respond to each email / comment indiviually.  Thank you!!

Video Testimonial Friday - Joseph's Story

Is it Friday already!?!?  Form some reason I cannot get it out of my head that this is Thursday.  I was going to call this post "Testimonial Thursday!" and now I've gotta come up with something else.  I can hear you telling me now...."Quit complaining! It's one day closer to the weekend!!"  Thank goodness it's not Monday right?? 

I have been so busy in the last several days that I haven't been able to get this video loaded to the site.  I've had it on a flash drive in my pocket for more than a week and finally enlisted the help of my sister to load it for me.  I helped her with a plumbing leak a couple of days ago and while I was working on that she loaded this video on the blog for me.  Thanks Lisa!!

To give you some background information, Dr. Wise, mentioned in the video, is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, NMD.  He is also one of only 27 Naturopathic Endocrinologists in the nation.  You can read all about Dr. Wise and one of the formula's he developed, Gluten Sensitivity Formula, by clicking on Wise Formula Wednesday.  When you read this, it will give you some much needed background information so that you will understand what the video is about.  

Now that you've read about Dr. Wise and his Gluten Formula for Celiac disease, let me give you a bit of background information.  The patient in the video is a young man by the name of Joseph from Tulsa, OK.   Joseph is an outstanding individual that always has a smile on his face and a kind word for everybody and when we could get our schedules in line, he agreed to do a video for me. 

As mentioned in the video, Joseph has Sickle Cell Anemia, a very serious genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells in the body.  The prevalence of the disease in the United States is approximately 1 in 5,000, mostly affecting Americans of Sub-Saharan African descent, according to the National Institutes of Health.   In the United States, about 1 in 500 black births have sickle-cell anaemia.

A woman from Joseph's church had told him about Dr. Wise and encouraged him to make an appointment as soon as possible.  When Joseph first came to see Dr. Wise, he was seeking any sort of relief possible from the effects of his Sickle Cell.  Dr. Wise examined Joseph and he tested positive for Celiac disease.  He was given Gluten Sensitivity Formula as treatment and as you will see from his testimonial, it had an amazing and unexpected benefit.....


The voice you hear in the background is mine.  I think I was more nervous than Joseph.  I am not, nor do I claim to be, a T.V. anchor....:-)

As Joseph mentioned, he has been to the hospital a time or two since he took Dr. Wise's Gluten Formula.  He initially went because he was in great pain and thought that he was having another crisis.  His hip has been greatly deteriorated as a result of steroids and this was determined to be the cause of his pain.  According to his last blood test that we have seen, his blood was not sickling at the time of the visit. 

Gluten Sensitivity Formula was originally developed for another purpose but as Joseph mentions here, it has changed his life in an incredible way!!  Thank you so much Joseph for telling your story.....

Please tell us your thoughts in the comments section.  Do you know someone with Sickle-cell?  Would you buy a product that could affect your life in such as a positive way as it has with Joseph?  If you know someone with Sickle-cell and they would like to get in touch with me, feel free to send me an email: jason@thewisealternative.com

Wise Formula Wednesday

Wednesday is here....That wonderful day that everyone looks forward to because it means the week is halfway over. It seems awfully quick this time around but I'm sure the 3 day weekend had something to do with it.

As promised, today will be a day full of information on Dr. Wise's Gluten Senitivity Formula. There have been many questions about Dr. Wise, his Celiac formula, pros and cons, ingredients and more. Thank you very much for the questions and I hope we can answer many of them here today. If you have more that you would like to have answered, feel free to go to the comment section, or you may email me jason@thewisealternative.com and I will do my best to answer your questions.

Many people are curious about Dr. Wise, the man who developed the Celiac formula you have read about on this blog.

1. Who is Dr. Wise?

Jack Wise is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) and Board Certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist. He was born in Oklahoma in 1939 and spent much of his youth here before serving his country in the Army & National Guard from 1957-1970.  He was stationed in Germany, Korea, and Vietnam until an honorable medical discharge, at which time he moved to Oregon and worked in the insurance and automotive industries.  He worked for 22 years as a general contractor in California before finally moving to Oklahoma in 1994.  He sold insurance for 2 years before becoming deathly ill to the bewilderment of many medical doctors. He spent thousands of dollars on test after test and was told to "go home and die" because they couldn't do anything for him.   He was later found to have Lyme disease.

A lady who was a Certified Herbalist with whom he had become acquainted near his hometown of Pryor, OK had encouraged Jack to become a certified herbalist and sell products as she did.  Jack initially refused until she came to see him one day when he was so ill. She immediately gave him several products and told him to take them without fail. He did so and began to feel better with each passing day. His doctors told him to continue whatever he was doing because of his drastic improvement.

He became very interested in natural medicine at this point and wanting to learn more about it, became a Certified Herbalist in 1997. He continued his education in Warsaw, IN, receiving his Doctor of Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Health in 1998. He continued his education with nearly 40 credit hours in Functional Diagnostics and Therapeutics in 1998 and received a degree as a NMD, Naturopathic Medical Doctor from Colorado University of Naturopathic Medicine in 2001.  Dr. Wise received from Capital University in Georgetown, Washington D.C. in 2002, the title of Board Certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist, one of only 27 in the nation.

Dr. Wise continues his education with a minimum of 20 hours every year to retain board certification, is a member of Orthomolecular Health Medicine (2005 - present), and a yearly attendee of the Institute for Functional Medicine Conference (2003 - present). 

He works with Dr. J.E. Block MD FACP, who has a practice here in Tulsa, OK on a very close basis as friends and colleagues for the past 10 years. Dr. Block is hosting the double blind medical study on our patented Formula for Celiac disease and is a practicing Internal Medicine Physician, noted author, and former Chief of Staff for Coffeyville Hospital in Coffeyville, KS for approximately 10 years.

Dr. Wise, with his wife Linda, have a thriving practice and natural health store for the past 12 years beginning in Pryor, and then moving to Tulsa 7 years ago.  They are open 6 days a week from 9-5 Monday - Friday, 9-12 on Saturdays and see patients from almost every state in the USA and several countries. Their store is at The Farm shopping center at 51st & Sheridan in Tulsa, OK, (Herbs & More of Tulsa) Their newly designed website, The Wise Alternative, has a great deal of information as well as a shopping cart for product purchase.


Ok! With that mouthful said, the next big question I receive is:

2. "What are the ingredients in the Gluten Sensitivity Formula?"

As all Celiacs know, you don't put anything in your body without reading the ingredients. Glad you asked.......Our patented homeopathic formula is all natural and consists of:

Lycopodium clavatum 12X - A homeopathic remedy widely used as an excellent remedy for digestive issues including: dyspepsia due to farinaceous and fermentable food (ie cabbage, beans); excessive hunger; desire for sweets; weak digestion; bulimia, with bloating. Immediately after a light meal abdomen is full and bloated. Diarrhea, male impotence.

Pulsatilla 12X - Another homeopathic remedy also widely used digestive aid. Used for heartburn, painful distended stomach, loud rumbling; colic with chilliness in the evening; no two stools alike; hemorrhoids.

Aronia Berry - Aronia berries are considered one of the "super fruits" and contain what may be the worlds highest concentration of the antioxidant anthocyanin. High concentrations of anthocyanins are well documented in many fruits (most famously the dark grapes that color red wine) to offer almost supernatural benefits. They work by boosting & assisting your body's immune system, so naturally there are few ailments that they DON'T work to fight. For instance; cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver failure, DNA degradation, broken bones, burnt skin, and even viral infections have all been tested against high dosages of anthocyanin, all to impressive results.

L-Carnosine - - a double amino acid which can extend lifespan; protection from oxidation (free radical damage); a strong antioxidant, anti-aging nutrient and wound healer. Can be beneficial to children with epilepsy or autism by stimulating brain functions around the areas in which the brain controls emotion, expressive speech and abstract thinking.

Gelatin Capsule - self explanatory, holds everything together.

DNA - Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a nucleic acid containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. (I remembered my biology!)

RNA - very similar to DNA, single stranded, central to protein synthesis

Nucleotides are involved in storing genetic information and in a number of other biochemical reactions in the body. They are especially necessary for cellular division. During times of stress, including injury or illness, the need for nucleotides increases because the body needs to manufacture new cells to replace damaged ones. Nucleotides have been shown to improve gut health, enhance immune function and aid tissue healing.

Rice Flour - used as a binder or anti-clumping agent in the capsule

Vitamin D3 (from Cholecalciferol) - the only naturally occurring form of Vitamin D. The essential function of Vitamin D is to increase capacity for absorption of the intestine for calcium and phosphorus in order to:
(1) ensure an optimal mineralization of mineralized fabrics, in particular bone, cartilage and teeth; and:
 (2) to contribute to the maintenance of the plasmatic concentrations of calcium and phosphorus.

Folic Acid - it is a B vitamin that promotes healthy new cells. Needed by everyone, esp. pregnant women.  Facilitates cell maintenance and repair, synthesis of DNA, amino acid metabolism and formation of red and white blood cells.

These ingredients work together to heal the body and villi in the intestines which become truncated over time due to the bodies immune response to gluten.  Celiacs absorb approximately 10% of what they put into their body.  After taking Gluten Relief, that absorbtion rate increases dramatically.  Bloating, fatique, depression, and dermatitis herpetiformis have been relieved in patients who took the formula.

The third most popular question received is:

3. "Can my young child take Dr. Wise's Gluten Sensitivity Formula?"

Answer: Yes. Dosing instructions according to weight are on the bottle. Both of my young children have taken the formula long ago with no problems and great success. For children that have problems swallowing capsules, as mine did, you can take the capsule apart and mix with applesauce or juice.

4. "How many people have taken the formula?"

Answer: More than 4000 people from all over the world have taken the formula with amazing success.  There are a small number that continued to have issues with IBS when eating genetically modified wheat.  These people were found to be low on Omega 3 and Magnesium, and when their levels were restored, they reported no more issues. 

5. "Will I still have immune responses to gluten or can I eat anything I want after I take the formula?"

Answer: We recommend those sensitive to gluten make the best choice for health.  Study participants were encouraged to eat gluten while taking the formula to assess their lab values.  It is a 30 day bottle and of the 4000+ that have taken Gluten Sensitivity Formula, approximately 70% needed only one bottle, 20% needed two bottles and the remaining 10% a third bottle to find lasting relief.  It has successfully treated more than 4000 people from "silent" celiacs, to those who became violently ill at the slightest contamination.  Almost everyone has heard there are no options and they must live with the disease.  Many of those who first bought the formula were skeptical and felt the same way....now those people know better and that number is growing every day.  The vast majority report that they have returned to a normal diet (by choice) more than 5 years ago with no adverse effects.  Some have chosen to remain gluten free and we certainly respect their decision.

People who don’t have enough magnesium or Omega 3 will have a problem with GMO (genetically modified) wheat. By bringing the Omega 3 and magnesium up to standard those problems abate; however, we have found that consumption of GMO wheat causes problems in the cardiovascular system. It can change heartbeat up to 12 beats per minute. Therefore, we recommend that anyone with cardiovascular issues avoid GMO wheat.

5. When are the results from the double blind study going to be published?"

Answer: The study results can be viewed here!  Patient's identities will never be revealed but you may see their beginning IGA numbers and final IGA numbers after taking the formula.

6. "How do I know if I am a Celiac?"

Answer: You may have strong reactions when you consume certain foods, you can look at our FAQ here.  You may also order a stool test from Enterolab for approx. $100.00 and follow the directions exactly.  Your doctor can contact the special laboratory here:
                                                                     Intestinal Health Institute
                                                                          PO Box 570744
                                                                         Dallas, TX., 75357.

6. "I'd like to know more about your Money Back Guarantee."

Answer:  I could type it all out for you but it would be easier for you to click on it:  Money Back Guarantee.

7. "How do I order the product?"

Answer: You may go to The Wise Alternative to place your order.  All orders are processed with the utmost in website security and confidence that your order will be handled securely and promptly.

8. "I see that you have a Better Business Bureau Symbol on the top of your page, what does that mean?"

Answer:  The Wise Alternative is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau and have earned the right to display their logo on our website and blog.  Being affiliated with the BBB means having a set of guidelines, such as our Money Back Guarantee, policies and procedures, and sticking to them.  We have to meet the BBB Standards of Trust to be accredited with the Better Business Bureau and we are proud to do so.
