A Side Order of Arthritis with My Pizza, Please...
Rachel Marynowski, ND on Delayed Immune Reactions
|  |
Sore joints, chronic congestion, fatigue, headaches vexing you? Such symptoms may imply that various immune activators have crept "through the walls of the GI tract, beyond the blood brain barrier, and into the joint capsules," which elicits great concern and unwelcome ailments, such as arthritis. In her latest blog post, Dr. Rachel Marynowski discusses food sensitivities and effectively gives reason to consider the Allergix IgG profile in evaluating side effects commonly tied to delayed immune reactions.
