From my files (maybe two years old?):

The "underground therapists" in the UK have for years been advocating
gluten-free and casein-free diets as well as elimination of the phenolic
containing substances as a therapy for dyslexia. The researchers in the UK
have only recently become aware of this. In their tests for a gluten
problem they have a 100% hit rate (17 of 17). The publication of this study
is technically "in press" and awaiting reports from the reviewers. A video
on this is available in the UK. I presume it was produced by the
"underground therapists".

Okay Mary. You know the researcher mentioned above. It is Paul Shattock. He
once offered to send me a copy of the video, but then he seems to have
changed his mind. I would have no problem converting a tape from PAL to our
format.

I suggest sending the urine of all family members to Dr. Cade in Florida,
and serum samples to Alletess for gluten and casein antibody testing. Do
the same testing as done for an autist. Susan Owens sent her urine to Paul
for testing. You could also do that.

Don.
