More press! This is what "The Wave" magazine had to say about Dr Vikki Petersen and the book "The Gluten Effect"

"Vikki Petersen, a certified clinical nutritionist at the HealthNOW Medical Center in Sunnyvale (www.healthnowmedical.com), is author of The Gluten Effect: How "Innocent" Wheat is Ruining Your Health, a new book that addresses, in part, how diet influences inflammation. According to Petersen, a diet high in gluten (a protein found in cereal grains such as wheat) can trigger an immune response in many people, causing inflammation. These inflammatory changes can damage nerve cells, resulting in symptoms that "range from clumsiness to headaches to numbness to mood disorders to memory problems." A gluten-free, low-carb diet can address these problems."
