Small clumps of cells or tissue that “float” in the clear gel of the vitreous body, the large chamber of the eyeball behind the lens and before the retina.  Light travels through the clear lens… 

phenomena that can originate in the eye when the vitreous gel pulls on or separates from the retina such as during or after a posterior vitreous detachment or from the visual centers of the brain… 

This small protein that is made up of the 3 amino acids glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine is our master anti-oxidant! Glutathione protects and repairs cell membranes and DNA from damage, removes carcinogens, and restores… 

The inherited immune sensitivity to ingested gluten in celiac disease is caused by activation of effector CD4+ T cells (T-helper cells) in the lamina propria (tissues underlying the mucosal surface) by peptides derived from gluten protein in wheat,… 

An inherited disease in which much of the genetic susceptibility maps to the HLA region on chromosome 6, as approximately 95% of celiac disease patients carry an almost identical HLA DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*0501 DQB1*0201). In… 

Surface membrane of intestinal epithelial cells that compose villi where absorption of nutrients takes place by densely packed microvilli that form the brush border and which prevents physical contact between undigested food and bacteria within… 

Minute structures densely covering and projecting from the surface membrane (called brush border) of intestinal epithelial cells that form villi  for the purpose of absorbing nutrients and producing enzymes which finish digestion of carbohydrates including… 

An inherited immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and to a lesser toxicity, oats that damages the lining of the small intestine, causes leaky gut, interferes with the proper absorption…
