It is caused by a vitamin (mainly BI) deficiency and can be stopped by putting enough BI in the diet.-There is plenty of BI in the outer coating of the rice grain and its seed germ, but both are removed as bran in the milling.

Christians began thinking of themselves not primarily as Christians but as Augustana Lutherans, or Reformed Presbyterians, or Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Predestinarian Baptists. Denominationalism became demonic.
