you back again to the “kingdom” analogy. This time let me describe to you the “castle” or the natural mucosal barrier of the gut. Lining the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract are glandular epithelial cells and goblet cells that secrete mucus. The function of the intestinal lining is to allow: (1) Properly digested fats, proteins, and starches to pass through and enter the bloodstream; (2) Chlo- ride, potassium, magnesium, sodium and free fatty acids to diffuse through intestinal cells, (3) Amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, mineral, and vitamins to cross through cells by active transport. Between the epithelial cells are tight junctions called desmosomes. These structures “seal” the spaces between mucosal cells that line the gut. They are rich in sulfate molecules which are sticky and keep the cells stuck together. Hereditary low levels of sulfate lead to “leaky gut” or Intestinal Permeability. This condition is caused by disruption in tight junctions of the intestinal lining cells that lead to hyper- permeability. When cells are farther apart

and PPI’s (Nexium, Protonix, Aciphex, etc); (3) Toxins especially heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum), pesticides and other xe- nobiotics. Toxins from our environment and antibodies against DPPIV disable the diges- tive enzyme DPPIV or dipeptidylphosphati- dyltransferase IV. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down proline-rich containing dietary proteins such as gluten and casein (dairy). Dysfunctional DPPIV leads to mal- digestion of peptides gluten and casein and the consequential accumulation of gluteo- morphin (or gliadorphin) and casomorphin in the blood stream. Dr. William Shaw, in his book entitled, “Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD,” elaborates that “these peptides react with opiate receptors in the brain and mimic the effects of opiate drugs like heroin and morphine. These undigested proteins are associated with gastrointestinal, neurological, and neuro-developmental disorders” including autism. In fact, “Dr. Reichelt in Norway, Dr. Cade at the Univer- sity of Florida, and other found that urine samples from people with autism, PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), Celiac Disease and schizophrenia contained high amounts of the casomorphin peptide. These peptides could also be elevated in other dis- orders such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and depression based on anecdotal reports of symptom remission after exclusion of wheat and dairy.”
