Sometimes a food allergy is obvious because it causes an immediate response after a food is ingested. For example, strawberries are eaten, and individual breaks out in hives. This is a type 1 or fixed allergic response because it occurs each time strawberries are eaten. Other food allergies are more difficult to diagnose as symptoms do not usually appear right after eating the offending substance, but rather hours or days later. Also reactions may change with age, season, stress, and a host of other factors. Further, they can move from one organ system to another. Thus milk may cause an asthmatic response in a young child, and skin disruptions in the same person as an adolescent, for example.
These masked, or cyclic, allergies are responsible for most reactions. In fact, some reports indicate that as many as 90 percent of common complaints heard by general practitioners are related to food allergies, although they are often not understood as such by mainstream doctors. Seemingly unrelated allergy symptoms can include depression, headaches, joint pains, muscle pains, and abdominal complaints.
SOLUTION
Allergy sufferers often need to improve their digestive health. Recommended measures include a cleansing diet with the help of bwntonite clay, hydrotherapy, and a short watermelon and lemon fast.
People are commonly allergic to one or more of the following: sugar, wheat, dairy, beef, potatoes, shellfish, eggs, tomatoes, coffee, peanuts, soy, corn, and yeast. An environmental physician can check for problem foods, which should be eliminated from the diet or eaten on a rotation basis, once every four to seven days.
With neutralization immunization therapy, injections of small amounts of specific allergens, tailor-made for an individual's needs, help the body develop antibodies.
Instead of using chemically-laced personal and home care products, we can lessen our allergic load by making or purchasing natural ones.
Cleansing the air with a filtration system and plants lessen the amount of inhaled contaminants.
Nutrients that give our immune system an extra boost include vitamin C, quercetin, pycnogenol, vitamin E, selenium, b-complex vitamins, zinc, essential fatty acids, and gamma linolenic acid.
Herbs that strengthen the immune system include garlic, astragulus, echinacea, ginseng, wild cherry bark, and horehound.
