Going along with Gayle's query about enzymes, I happen to see this on the
web and wondered if it had been discussed.  My own Rheumatologist uses this
drug for Fibromyalgia and when I started reading about it, this is what I
found. Web site is: http://www.cytolog.com/

Celiac Disease

Pete Wills, Ohio.

Pete was an average guy. He loved beer, he loved his new wife and he loved
the delicious breads and cakes she frequently baked. But Pete's life had
its down side. As a landscape designer/installer he understood and accepted
the pain he felt when his rheumatoid arthritis acted up. What bothered him
most were the frequent and unexplained stomach cramps and diarrhea that had
become so much a part of his life.

The mystery was solved when Pete's doctor told him he had become intolerant
to gluten, the sticky component in wheat and other grains comprised of the
two proteins gliadin and glutenin. Pete had biopsy-confirmed Celiac
Disease. He no longer could consume any more beer, bread, cakes, noodles or
anything else derived from grains. There was more bad news. This rare
disease came without a cure and could be managed only through the strict
avoidance of almost everything Pete loved to eat and drink. Then Pete got
lucky. Two weeks after his diagnosis and within a few days of becoming
bored with rice in almost everything he ate, Pete learned of a product
derived from colostrum that had been reported to induce recovery from
Celiac Disease.

Within a week he was taking Cytolog, and the week after, also beer, bread
and cake. His stomach and his bowels seemed fine. Within two weeks the
arthritis pain seemed so much less. After two months Pete's blood test
confirmed that he no longer produced antibodies to gluten. Within three
months Pete was off Cytolog and has remained symptom free for nearly five
years.

Readers note:

Pete's story was chosen for two reasons.


1.It is consistent with the majority of other Cytolog/Celiac evaluations.
2.Because it demonstrates the likelihood that multiple conditions can
respond simultaneously while on Cytolog.
