canaries in the coal mine Mood
Monday, June 1, 2009 | A Rambling story

it is interesting to see how people assume I think.

maybe I just don't believe in "celiac disease";

that would explain why they can't find "celiac" genes.

 

perhaps we are "canaries in the coal mine',

a warning that agriculture is delivering poison to the people.

 

"gluten" activates the innate immune system;

researchers would say "pro-inflammatory", but

the advertising claim would be "strengthens the immune system".

 

because the innate immune system fights viral and other infections,

most people who eat grain would have improved disease resistance. 

 

but, we are the ones with the "strongest" immune system;

although "strengthening" our immune system makes us sick.

our common bond is our health, not our "disease".

 

many other foods, including milk, corn, and soy,

also "strengthen the immune system"; is that why they trouble some of us? 

 

maybe we are the canaries in the coal mine;

maybe everyone else needs to realize

that we have stopped singing . . .
