Hmmm that's a good point. Have you ever heard of gluten insensitivity

being associated with nearsightedness? Wild idea, but the article

from the neurology journal was very interesting and mentioned

peripheral numbness etc; maybe this could also affect vision (IMO).

In France they have a different type wheat for the bread, and almost

none of the kids are nearsighted, even with lots of homework and no

sports at school (but they play ping-pong which is good). And our

French neighbor's 8 yr. old has just gotten glasses! I'm nearsighted

and my parents weren't.

ps I'm curious about starting a chapter here (Peoria). I assume there

is info on the web site but how is it working out for you?

I find this very interesting. My son has eczema and now has had to get glasses

for nearsightedness which no one else in our families has...I have been

wondering what could be going on...He also has been fighting pneumonia,

bronchitis, and sinuses infections which have been cured by taking zertec but

how good it that for him?
