I am afraid I am largely to blame for my "grains letter" not appearing in
the archives because I was concerned about USDA regulations concerning
publication and possible legal responsibility.  I have decided that I am
probably being overly conservative and will just post the letter here
publicly--with permission as far as I am concerned to put it in the archive.
A copy of the letter, which was sent originally to Phyllis Brogden follows:
(The only updates I would like to make are that oats may be non-toxic on the
basis of some recent testing, but I would recommend waiting until results
are published and then consulting an experienced physician before trying
oats and there is considerable anecdotal evidence developing, as I expected
for these wheats, that spelt and Kawmut are harmful.
