Schizophrenics maintained on a cereal grain-free and milk-free diet and receiving optimal treatment with neuropleptics showed an interruption or reversal of their therapeutic progress during a period of "blind" wheat gluten challenge. The exacerbation of the disease process was not due to variations in neuroleptic doses. After termination of the gluten challenge, the course of improvement was reinstated. The observed effects seemed to be due to a primary schizophrenia-promoting effect of wheat gluten.
To those who ask, "Do you ever REALLY read a 'toread' tagged article later on?" ... ... my answer is, "Yes, I actually do." It works like this: I am thinking about some subject (say, "brain,") and I say, "I wonder what I queue'd up to read about that?" And that's how it happens. You don't just go, "tag:toread"; It's always: "tag:toread tag:somesubject". Have a nice day!
