    The "wheat belly" is definitely a popular problem. So many people have tried to follow different fad's to get healthy, but there is no "one diet fits all" out there. Each individual is unique and therefore would benefit from a diet that works for each persons

    . The APO E Gene Diet does just this. Medicine is now delivering on a problem with true science and the APO E Gene Diet holds a powerful answer to such chronic illnesses such as heart disease, alzheimer's disease, and other popular emerging epidemics like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

    I'll be darned if wheat doesn't sound like my problem!  I have a large belly and thought it was due to beer but I only drink one a day and I couldn't figure out why my stomach did not do down.  I try to eat right (baked/broiled fish or chicken, leafy salad greens, brown rice, etc.) and I drink lots of water all day long.  My doctor said I was 6 pts. away from being put on a cholestral-lowering drug and to cut out most carbs, including my favorite double-fiber wheat bread and shredded wheat and pasta.  I was astounded at my numbers!  I am definitely going to go wheat-free for the next 3 months; I have to get my lipids tested again in December.  Hopefully, the numbers will reflect a much better panel.  Thanks Dr. Davis for this insight into what wheat can do to your cholestral!

    I just wanted to let the world "out there" know that I practiced the method of eating as prescribed by Dr. Davis for three months and it works.  I lost 15 pounds, slowly, but that just shows I lost FAT, and all the pain I had in my joints was gone - I felt it was like a miracle!!  But then I got lazy and I started eating my old ways, I gained back the fat and the painful joints.  Dr. Davis is absolutely correct, I have found, it his recommendations on what to eat.

    I have been tested for a wheat allergy but it shows that I am not allergic.  Yet, if I eat wheat, my blood pressure sky rockets and get anxious with terrible pounding in my ears.  Does anyone know why?
