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
