Roundup and Celiac Disease.

Posted on April 3, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

Roundup, with active ingredient glyphosate, is one of the most powerful herbicides in common use today.

This is good for farmers who can get by using fewer pounds of herbicides each […]

Potatoes, Tryptophan and the Kynurenine Path.

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

Trypotophan amino acid is metabolized by a series of chemical reactions called the kynurenine pathway. One product is kynurenic acid (KA), which protects the nervous system, reduces inflammation, reduces tissue oxidation and may even prevent cancer. KA is anticonvulsant and has functions in the gastrointestinal tract. The blood-brain barrier (which blocks passage of chemicals from […]

Integrative Medicine and Human Health.

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Our Paleolithic ancestors had access to 500 different plants. Their food was often stored in the ground with access to abundant bacteria. Today, 80% of human nutrients come from 17 plants, while 50% of our calories come from only 8 grains. Our food undergoes excessive processing and heating. Important chemicals in plants start to disappear […]
