Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Geoff, According to Chinese medicine, wheat is a soggy, heavy food and therefore likely to produce dampness. This is why I say no wheat for children or for patients suffering from a lot of dampness. Now if non-gmo wheat is better or worse, I cannot say because I have not really thought about it. Maybe others on the list have more experience with this than I have. As far as the theoretical part is concerned, I am sure that it talks about non-gmo wheat that is a soggy and heavy food (one thousand years ago, they had no genetically altered wheat...or at least not purposfully altered; some genetic modification is happening all the time in nature). But it may be that gmo wheat is worse. However, this is speculative until proven true. Sincerely, Simon Becker -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----Von: Geoffrey Hudson Gesendet: Freitag, 28.

I assume you are talkingabout wheat allergies / sensitivities? I thought that I had heard thatpeople with wheat allergies didn't have a problem with non gmo wheat.Somebody Had mentioned that there are some German varieties of wheat that were okfor people with wheat problems.Geoff-- "Simon" <s.beckerAW: 2 year old allergiesAl,Prescribing herbs to a two year old has never presented as a problem tome.I generally prescribe raw herbs to children as young as one or twomonthsold. My own 3 months old daughter had chickenpox a few weeks ago. Iprescribed her some medicine and she was well in two days. Children needsmall doages and generally respond extremely quickly. Most important,don'tovertreat. Just a push in the right direction is enough. However, I needtoadd that this is only the case if the diet is correct. There is nothingmoreimportant than a healthy diet for young children. This means: no sugar(nofruit juice, candy, etc.), no wheat, no dairy.Chinese Herbal Medicine, a voluntary organization of licensed healthcare practitioners, matriculated students and postgraduate academics specializing in Chinese Herbal Medicine, provides a variety of professional services, including board approved online continuing education.
