Association Board of
Directors held their fall meet
ing Thursday, Oct. 9, begin
ning with a tour of the brand
new Wellness Center that was
to open Oct. 13 in a renovated
historic train depot near the
campus.
Houston County board
members Joan Dorsett, Lloyd
McDonald, Tonya McClure
and Donald Rhodes were
present for the meeting and
took part in the tour.
The train that stopped at
the depot in the 1920 s was
known as the “Beauty
Gpains could be your problem
One of the hardest les
sons in nutrition to teach
patients isn’t the harm
from junk “phoods” since
they already know that,
but the harm from grain
based foods like bread,
pizza, cookies, beer, and
chips. Not only are these
grain-based foods high in
calories leading to obesity,
but they also cause other
harmful chemical reactions
in your body causing other
health problems that are
much more serious.
Certain grains including
wheat, barley, rye, oats,
contain a protein called
gluten that is hard for
many people to digest. If
you have symptoms such as
bloating, severe diarrhea,
weight loss, malabsorption
or just trouble digesting
food, you may have celiac
disease known as “gluten
sensitivity,” which nearly
15 percent or 50 million
Americans suffer with, but
they just don’t realize it.
As many as one in 33
people may suffer with
gluten sensitivity, and it is
often misdiagnosed as irri
table bowel syndrome,
which is worsened by
gluten consumption. It’s
amazing how often a wide
variety of chronic health
problems clear up once
people stop eating wheat,
leading some clinicians to
believe that gliaden, the
protein in wheat, is indi
gestible.
I realize that the adver
tisements for bread are
everywhere, and we’ve all
be taught that bread is
essential and wonderful for
your body - after all, one
brand is even called
“Wonder” bread. But
recall, these are the same
Macon men face
additional charges
WARNER ROBINS - Four
young men arrested in con

were charged after police
reportedly found them hid

Special” because it brought
students to what was then
Georgia State College for
Women.
Much of the historic depot
remains intact with interior
walls of the workout rooms
still marked with town names
used by workers, such as
“Eatonton” and “Louisville.”
The facility contains brand
new state-of-the-art equip
ment totaling $200,000 for
GC&SU students to use for
cardiovascular and strength
training. Students in the
exercise science program will
help staff the facility.

derful milk is despite the
fact that up to 50 percent
of Americans are allergic to
dairy products, myself
included. I suggest that
you do an elimination diet
for just two months: Take
these possible offending
foods out of your diet and
don’t be surprised if you
feel better, especially if
you’re in that 50 percent
who are allergic to grains
and milk.
I know the first response
by many will be: “but if I
can’t have cereals and
milk, what do I eat for
breakfast?” Of course,
those folks on the Atkins
diet are gobbling down
their eggs and bacon, but
for the rest of you, I sug
gest you might enjoy fruit
for breakfast. In the sum
mer, I’ll have watermelon
or honeydew melons, and
during the winter I’ll eat a
couple of Red Ruby sweet
grapefruits and navel
oranges. Since there’s no
fat or bad chemicals in
fruit, you can eat as much
and as often, so feel free to
take some to school or
work with you for a snack.

The additional counts
stem from cars that were
entered at the Corder
Crossing Apartments at 750
Corder Road, Woodcrest
Apartments at 101
Woodcrest Circle, and two
locations on Kathleen
Bynum Drive the morning
of Oct. 9.
All four suspects are being
held without bond at the

the heart of the action, right
there where the students live.
The Alumni Board of
Directors continued their fall
meeting at one of them,
Parkhurst Residence Hall.
Board members serve a term
of three years and represent
alumni and friends of the uni
versity. As a group, they focus
on fundraising - finding
alumni who have never given
and getting them involved in
supporting the many pro
grams; visibility - being avail
able and visible as Board
Members on campus and in
each of their communities;
outreach- making sure that
alumni and friends all over
Georgia know about GC&SU
and how they can be an inte
gral part of their University.
Indeed, no one’s ever got
ten fat by eating fruit.
Not only do grain-based
foods cause digestive prob
lems, but they also cause
inflammation leading to
arthritis and fibromyalgia.
This is due to the imbal
ance in omega 6:3 ratio,
which should be 1:1 in
healthy folks. After years
of consuming grains, which
are high in omega-6 fatty
acids, this ratio climbs
drastically until you’re
symptomatic and wonder
why. For example, some
chips are 60:1, and many
wheat breads are 20:1.
This accumulation of
omega-6 fatty acids in the
diet explains why many
people gradually ache more
and more as they graceful
ly age - in essence, they’re
slowly changing their bod
ies’ chemistry from daily
dosages of this inflamma
tory chemistry.
Most people are simply
eating their inflammation
by consuming these many
grain-based foods. As hard
as it may be to stomach the
idea of decreasing grains in
your diet, it may be essen
tial if you suffer from indi
gestion, diarrhea, bloating,
or irritable bowel syn
drome. Give it a try for two
months: Get off the grains
and milk, replace them
with fruit, and consume
more omega-3 fish oils to
improve your omega 6:3
ratio, and don’t be sur
prised if you feel better as
you change your body
chemistry back to a
healthy one. It may take
time, but you can do it,
especially if you’re tired of
indigestion and arthritis
inflammation.
Warner Robins Police
Officer Joe Abbott said he
responded to the scene and
found 27-year-old
Christopher Craven of 107
Newcastle Drive lying on
the street at the intersection
of Watson Boulevard and
Collins Avenue.
Apparently, Craven’s
Kawasaki motorcycle was
struck by a 1997 Camaro
driven by Richard Musgrove
of 918 Collins Ave.,
Centerville.
An ambulance transport
ed Craven to a nearby hospi
tal with a severe leg injury.
Reports indicate
Musgrove had stopped and
spoken to Craven following
the accident, then left the
scene.
He was later found and
brought back to the scene by
Houston County Sheriffs
deputies and received sever
al citations in connection
with the accident, said the
report.
