� Epidemiological studies are finding that there is a connection between wheat gluten and bovine milk casein intolerance and Schizophrenia and Bi-polar disorder � In susceptible individuals, ingestion of foods containing these will elicit an inflammatory GI environment � This inflammation leads to gut microbiome permeating out systemically and activation of immunity responses including complement C 1 q which also functions in brain synapses

The Journal of Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior published a study conducted by the University of Toronto in Canada showed behavioral effects of food derived opioid-like peptides such as; Gliadorphin -7 derived from gluten and B-casomorphins derived from the milk protein casein. Results concluded that these opioid-like peptides can cross the GI barrier as well as blood brain barrier and affect human behavior in a way similar to schizophrenia

My personal experience with Reiki moved me to become a Reiki Master and make this healing modality available to others. I battled a nicotine addiction for 15 years of my life and tried all the different smoking cessation programs out there, from the quit line to cold turkey. The only modality with which I have had long standing success is Reiki energy healing. I got a clearing once a week for 6 weeks and it was as though I forgot I was a smoker. I changed.

True discipline is really just about selfremembering; no forcing or fighting is necessary. ~Charles Eisenstein
