Did you know: Food related allergies and body burden will increase the probability of environmental or inhalent allergies? For instance: February & March in Texas Cottonwood and Oak is worse. These tree allergies are concomitant with eggs, wheat & tea, so if you're having allergy symptoms you think are related to what's blooming, better check your diet!
The average American family spends approximately $10,000 per year on groceries, and 40-60% of those foods (what I call 'stupid foods') are poisoning you or contributing to your health problems?
Food allergies or intolerances create a toxic burden on the body. Eating the same foods over and over is a sure way to develop a food allergy. Food allergies can show up within 15 minutes or can be delayed up to 72 hours. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies will add to the allergy burden, as will balance of bacteria in the gut.
Symptoms are not limited to your typical watery eyes or itchy nose, but can be among the following:
-
Food cravings
-
Joint and muscle pain
-
Increased heart rate immediately after eating
-
Burning abdomen
-
Hot flashes
-
Bloating, gas, water retention
-
Fatigue (adrenal burn-out)
-
Digestive disorders such as constipation, diarrhea or irritable bowel
-
Migraine/other headaches
-
Acne, skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis
-
ADD/ADHD
-
Mood disorders
-
Weight gain/loss
Allergy tests can be very expensive. As a qualified health care professional, I recommend to my patients that we use protocols specific to the individual to eliminate the body burden and support the body to heal, especially the gut.
As symptoms improve, foods initially eliminated can gradually be added back into the diet. Usually after a 6 month time period, when the body has been given adequate time to heal, a food allergy panel can be done at that time. Foods that show up at this time are foods the body has a true allergy or sensitivity to.
One Exception: I recommend that most individuals be tested immediately for gluten sensitivity. See coupon below for discount on gluten test or gluten/adrenal cortisol panel.
"When I pondered to understand this, it was troublesome in my sight until I came into the sanctuary of God; then I perceived their end."
From the Book of Psalms, Chapter 73, Verses 16 & 17
On my own, I can understand nothing. It is only when I enter into true relationship with God, that His wisdom becomes mine for the asking.
