Battles With Gluten: Celiac Disease



Annals of Medical School discusses Celiac Disease, a condition in which your body reacts to ingested gluten (a grain protein from wheat, rye, barley, or spelt), and which many may be familiar with due to the wide distribution of gluten-free foods. For more information, click here.

Do you really know what Caduceus symbolize? And how Mercury does related with medicine? :)))

AMB said...

You are right Anon, it is a little tangential...the reason I mention the "Mercurian Legend" and use the caduceus is two-fold. One, the caduceus and the god Mercury symbolize the idea that this is acting as a "public messenger" of medical information. The caduceus (and Mercury) have multiple meanings, but I like to use this interpretation to emphasize my efforts to share that information which I have learned. Two, and this is only partially related, but the caduceus is often confused with the rod of Aesklepius and used as a symbol of medicine. Thus it conveniently acts as a gesture towards both of these purposes.

Additionally, this is a brilliant sculpture, highly recommended if ever in the Bargello Palace in Florence.
