CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition with a variety of symptoms, the most dominant being debilitating, persistent fatigue. |
| Recommendations include diagnostic tests and evaluations to ascertain the underlying cause of the condition, eating a well-balanced diet and avoiding sugars and foods with a high glycemic index, and ruling out or treating sensitivities or allergies to foods, preservatives, additives, and/or environmental toxins. Also recommended are detoxification and drainage products to regenerate the liver, lymph system, and blood cleansing process. Enzymes and nutritional products can support the digestive and immune systems. |

ARTHRITIS
Arthritis is characterized by inflammation, pain, swelling, stiffness, and redness of the joints. |
| The best treatment for allergies is to avoid the offending allergen whenever possible. It is also important to clean your living and work space often (including changing bed linens and towels) to remove as much of the allergens as possible. Enzyme therapy can be used to improve digestion, support proper and balanced functioning of the immune system, support the adrenal glands, and reduce the allergic symptoms. |
| Enzymes can be used to support digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce excess mucus, and combat the symptoms of allergies. |
| Depression may be caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, allergies, thyroid disorders, sugar, a battle with a serious physical disorder, or chronic fatigue syndrome. Some people also become more depressed in the winter months when there is less exposure to sunlight. It is estimated that seven million Americans suffer from depression each year and more than eight million Americans take antidepressant drugs. |

Tom, who does muscle testing for allergies, Donna decides to see what Dr. Tom can do for her. According to Dr. Tom's muscle tests, she has lots of allergies: not to worry, Dr. Tom can "fix" her. It is a simple matter of a mere twenty-eight visits to the expensive tune of two visits per week. "You must understand," Dr. Tom tells her, "in order to fix these allergies, you must submit to a rigid protocol, which is guaranteed to work if you do exactly as I say."
Weary now of the doctor merry-go-round, Donna tells Dr. |

HEALTHY SNACKS allergies: low-histamine diet and low-serotonin diet
Serotonin deficiencies often occur as allergies. There is some evidence that a diet that eliminates additives and foods high in histamines may lessen the severity of allergic reactions. If you have allergies or have experienced symptoms related to allergies, including sneezing, congestion, and watery eyes, you might want to consider the following lists of permitted foods and of foods to avoid. |

People with cerebral allergies might be sensitive to any type of food, regardless of whether it's healthful or not, and the allergies may manifest various mental or physical symptoms. In some cases, the symptoms have been described as "brain fog," and at other times, exposure to the problematic food can trigger feelings of sadness and crying.
Because cerebral allergies have not been studied in a scientifically rigorous fashion, it's difficult to say exactly what happens. |

The relationship between asthma and allergies is a strong one. Asthma is often triggered by allergies of all kinds, food allergies, pollutants, dust, mold, chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs. Magnesium losses are notorious for occurring as a result of the drugs used specifically for asthma that open airways and reduce inflammation. Magnesium is known to help relieve bron-chospasm, or constricted airways in the lungs and has been used intravenously to help relieve the symptoms of life-threatening, drug-resistant asthma attacks and to diminish the effects of asthma drugs used. |

Such differences in the intestinal microflora composition have been associated with a higher prevalence of allergies and atopic diseases in infants born and raised in developed countries than those in developing countries [40]. Another study that compared the intestinal microflora profiles of children in Europe observed that Swedish and Estonian toddlers with low counts of Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Bacteroides spp., and Enterococcus spp., but having higher levels of Clostridia and Staphylococcus aureus, were more prone to allergies than were healthy infants [41, 42]. |

Inflammation is what causes the pain of arthritis, the discomfort of allergies, the wheezing of asthma, and the stiffness from overusing your muscles. Inflammation also underlies the most devastating and catastrophic of all diseases: heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and many forms of cancer.
If that seems hard to believe, consider that over-the-counter antiinflammatory drugs reduce the risk of heart attacks and Alzheimer's disease. But this book is not going to recommend that you take drugs to reduce inflammation. |
| Allergies stir up the inflammatory response, increasing the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune (self-allergic) disease. Infections also trigger an immune response, and chronic infections and inflammation account for an estimated 30 percent of cancers. Joint injuries frequently set an inflammatory response into motion, setting the stage for osteoarthritis. Serious head injuries and their resultant brain inflammation increase the long-term risk of Alzheimer's disease, which is also being viewed by doctors as an inflammatory process affecting brain cells. |

| Dermatitis, an inflammation of the skin, can have many causes, including allergies, infections, a toxic reaction to a chemical, or abrasion. As good as you or your doctor might feel after a diagnosis, it is not likely that he or she will actually identify the underlying cause.
In the case of coronary artery disease something inflames blood vessel walls, triggering a cascade of events. That "something" might be a corrosive protein by-product called homocysteine, a low-grade infection, or oxidized cholesterol, all of which increase the risk of heart disease. |

I used to suffer from all kinds of allergies: hay fever, pollen, feline, etc. I completely conquered my allergies by undertaking The Sunfood Diet, by eating wild indigenous food, using MSM powder in my drinking water and through homeopathy. People who are allergic to the pollens of local plants can eliminate these allergies by eating local wild leaves, flowers, fruits, honeys and acclimating themselves to the environment. Many people never eat anything growing locally or wildly in their life! This is not the lifestyle for which we were designed.
Wild food is a revelation. |

Cyclic allergies develop slowly and result from repeatedly eating a certain food, especially if a leaky gut is present. In cyclic food allergies, after the allergenic food is avoided for a period of time (typically 3 to 4 months), it may be reintroduced. Usually the food won't cause symptoms again unless you eat it too frequently or in high amounts. Cyclic allergies account for roughly 80 to 90 percent of adverse food reactions. |

Some people have allergies to gluten (wheat, barley, oats), which can lead to congestion and increase insomnia, as can allergies to detergents and the cleaning products you use on your clothes or sheets. One note: Decongestant nasal sprays are addictive and raise your blood pressure. Saline or antihistamine sprays (or a prescription steroid spray) are better options.
YOU Tip: Think Opposite. You'd think that the way to treat a lack of sleep is to get more of it, but one way that sleep docs treat insomnia is by making their patients sleep less. |

If you are not any better or have gained only a little, examine your diet again for other possible food allergies, including allergies to dairy products and processed protein. Then eliminate them and carry on for another month. If you cannot find any other food allergies, go to step 2.
Step 2. Supplement your diet with a good vitamin B-complex tablet or one of the stress tablets. We recommend the B-complex 50 or 100 preparations. You can take as many as you wish, but in most cases 1 to 3 tablets per day will be adequate. |

Benveniste, a doctor of medicine, had put in his residency in the Paris hospital system, and then moved into research into allergies, becoming a specialist in the mechanisms of allergy and inflammation. He'd been appointed research director at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and distinguished himself by discovering PAF, or platelet activating factor, which is involved in the mechanism of allergies such as asthma.
At 50, Benveniste had the world at his feet. There was no doubt that he would look forward to international acclaim among the establishment. |

A food allergy is actually a type of food intolerance, and can be defined as a condition in which a specific immune reaction occurs in response to consuming a particular food, causing histamine to be released. All allergies are intolerances, but not all intolerances are allergies.
Food intolerances, including allergies, affect a large number of people, many of whom have never been diagnosed because it is often difficult to associate commonly eaten foods with symptoms. In some cases, a reaction may occur directly after eating a food. |

CHAPTER 2
Your Inflammation Triggers
Georgia: allergies and Sinusitis
Georgia had suffered from chronic sinusitis, an inflammation or infection of the air spaces near the nose, since she was twelve, and developed asthma at age forty-one. She was also allergic to dust, grasses, smoke, perfumes, wool, and some cosmetics. Within a few years of her asthma diagnosis, Georgia was taking a variety of prescription drugs: oral and nasal, a bronchodilator, antibiotics, and other medications. She started to feel addicted to her asthma drugs and was afraid to be without them. |

I was not really sick, but I was congested and had allergies. I would sneeze everyday. I woke up congested. I could not sleep clearly, and I was eating the average American diet. I got motivated to go on a juice cleanse, and I remember waking up the third day and I could breathe clearly for the first time in years.
My body got away from what I thought was allergies, and which I now realize was a combination of mild allergies and a lot of congestion. |
