Many dietary supplements such as antioxidants, vitamins and fish oil have been shown to be beneficial for patients with heart disease and may also prevent many forms of heart disease as well. These recommendations are for nutritional support only and must be combined with diet and exercise. They are not intended to replace any medical care. Be responsible – if you are under the care of a physician, please check with your doctor before starting the protocol. If you are interested in the scientific support for the use of some of the specific supplements, please visit my website: drshari.net where you can view my presentations given at numerous national and international medical conferences. I have put a range for each supplement since you can often find several of them combined in multinutrient formulas by various companies that may dramatically reduce the number of capsules/tablets you may need.

GLUTEN-FREE (OR CAVEMAN) DIET

Hunter-gatherers did not eat bread, bagels and pasta, nor do they today. Although these foods naturally contain gluten, we have genetically engineered certain grains to have far higher levels of this protein to impart better baking characteristics. Why do NYC bagels taste the best? Because in NYC we have the highest gluten flour available. We have increased the gluten content of wheat flour by as much as 90%.

GLUTEN IS IN: WHEAT, RYE, OATS AND BARLEY

These foods must be avoided. Also, avoid hidden sources such as bread crumbs, soups (flour is often added as a thickening agent) and even soy sauce may contain some wheat. Avoid products sweetened with barley malt.

THE BEST FOODS TO CHOOSE ARE: All starchy vegetables including: potatoes, yams, beans, lentils, squash, peas carrots, corn, rice, any other starchy vegetable. Protein, vegetables and salad do not contain any gluten.

Certain grains are permissible and include: quinoa, buckwheat, millet and corn meal. Spelt is what wheat once was and contains trace amounts of gluten – so use sparingly. Teff and Amaranth may also be tolerated.

BREAD SUBSTITUTES: potato bread, rice bread, any gluten-free bread, 100% corn tortillas. Visit www.glutino.com and other websites that cater to gluten-free diets.

PASTA SUBSTITUTES: Ener-G makes a whole line of gluten free bread, pancake and waffle mixes. Also, 100% or soba (buckwheat noodles), 100% rice or corn pasta. Make sure that wheat, rye, oats and barley are not mixed in these products.
