The Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide, created by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN and Glutenfreeworks.com, is a revolutionary self-health resource that will give you the tools and information you need to take control of your health once and for all.

Should you subscribe?

Combines Medical, Nutritional and Holistic Treatment

Standard medical treatment uses medicines, procedures and surgeries to try to fix symptoms. While this works for acute (Now) problems, it fails to prevent or cure chronic (Ongoing) problems. The Treatment Guide looks at the whole you. Your symptoms, their causes, nutrient deficiencies, current medications and remedies. Use it to treat both acute AND chronic issues.

Identify and Eliminate the Causes of Your Ongoing Health Issues

Treatment only works if it fixes the underlying causes. That said, standard medical treatment often misidentifies symptoms as if they were the underlying causes. Inflammation is an example. Inflammation ALWAYS has a cause, a trigger. The Treatment Guide helps you identify the true underlying causes and then shows you how to remove or correct them.

Get Off the Meds

Don’t be a Statistic. Medical Mistakes are the Third Leading Cause of Death in the United States.

13502036_10154102429271815_7497922383029815833_n[1]A recent Johns Hopkins study found medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the United States, killing between 200,000 and 400,000 per year.

The study does not even consider misdiagnoses, or how many people suffer injuries without dying. We frequently see people who are medicated for what doctors think are diseases, but are actually symptoms with underlying causes. This is why we created the Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide – to improve proper diagnosis and treatment – so you and your doctor could connect the dots between hundreds of symptoms and their causes, causes like nutrient deficiencies that doctors do not recognize.

“Medical mistakes — from surgical disasters to accidental drug overdoses — are the No. 3 cause of death in the U.S., behind cancer and heart disease, two experts argued Wednesday.

They said a careful count of all deaths from preventable medical errors shows between 200,000 and 400,000 people a year die in the U.S. from these mistakes. The only way to get the country to do something about them is to start counting them, Dr. Martin Makary and Michael Daniel of Johns Hopkins University medical school argued.

“We spend a lot of money on cancer and heart disease but we have not even recognized that medical error is the third leading cause of death in the United States,” Makary told NBC News.

“We have not as a country recognized the endemic problem of people dying from the care that they receive rather than the illness or injury for which they seek care.” Read the rest of the story at NBC News. The case report is available at the New England Journal of Medicine.
