Another possible cause is celiac disease, in which a gluten intolerance diminishes the body's ability to absorb nutrients, but that's a digestive order, not the result of a hormone imbalance, Lustig says. What's more, almost none of the hypothesized disorders involving hormone imbalance and protein deficiency can be treated with a basic change in nutrition. "There is no one disease process that encompasses these three medical threads," says Lustig...

Despite Israeli claims that it is allowing and even aiding humanitarian agencies in the territory, a million Gazans do not have electricity and 250,000 do not have running water as a result of the clash.
