 To help relieve your own eczema, identify and eliminate any food allergies you might have and, for an extra boost, add some healthy carrot juice to your diet, as it has been shown to both treat skin disorders and even make healthy skin better. Incidentally, these same dietary changes will also help prevent and treat acne, which is also linked with food allergies.
Besides food allergies, experts link eczema to another dietary problem—namely, too little intake of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies need, and too much of the omega-6 fatty acids that we should consume sparingly. |

 In this view of food allergies, developed largely by the late Theron Randolph, M.D., regular consumption of the problematic foods can result in symptoms that mimic almost any type of illness, including aches and pains and fuzzy thinking.
Food addictions are common, and people are often allergic (or sensitive) to the foods they crave.
Some evidence indicates that food allergies release endorphins, the body's own family of painkillers. People may become addicted to both the endorphins and the foods that trigger their release. |

 If we become aware of our inner responses to foods, we are able to avoid the symptoms of food allergies. The book 5-Day Allergy Relief System includes a good discussion of how to detect and treat these food allergies.13
Because of a disharmonious mind and lifestyle, our bodies are shifted into a state of imbalance that may manifest as food allergies or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. For example, by leading a stressful life, we may bum up lots of B vitamins, which need to be replaced in high doses in order to maintain balance. |

 Because persons with IBD may have several defects in gut barrier and immune regulatory functions plus malnutrition and maldigestion, they may be at increased risk for food allergies, food intolerances, and food-borne illness. However, food allergies have not been established as a major player in the cause of IBD. For example, Bichoff and associates [54] studied 375 adults with gastrointestinal disorders, including IBD, for objective evidence of intestinal allergic reactions. |

 It may also prove helpful to undergo testing for food allergies and food sensitivities. food allergies (versus sensitivities or intolerances) are divided into two major categories: IgE mediated and T-cell mediated allergies. IgE allergic reactions are immediate; after being exposed to the food, your body quickly overproduces what is called immunoglobulin E antibodies, or IgE. You begin to experience fairly immediate symptoms—tingling of the extremities, wheezing, coughing, tightening of the throat, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea—within hours of having ingested the food. |

 The afflicted person is unable to digest food properly, causing food intolerance and food allergies. Note: To test for food allergies, take your pulse; then place a small piece of the food under your tongue and take your pulse again; if it is higher than before, you may be allergic to that particular food.
Hot flashes may also indicate excessive concentration of food protein in the blood and protein storage in the walls of the capillaries and arteries. This may raise one's blood protein values - Hemocrit and hemoglobin - which give the appearance of redness and heat in the face and chest. |

 She prescribed digestive enzymes and suspected that perhaps Dave had undiagnosed food allergies. As part of the general protocol taught at her medical school, Dave was prescribed a strict rotation diet eliminating wheat, chocolate, caffeine, and a lot of other tasty, fun foodstuffs that are the most common offenders when food allergies are suspected. Having had this experience, Dr. Dave prescribes a similar treatment to our medical student, Donna. |

| Some evidence indicates that food allergies release endorphins, the body's own family of painkillers. People may become addicted to both the endorphins and the foods that trigger their release. People can be allergically addicted to healthy foods, not only to junk foods, with the problematic food usually being a person's favorite food.
Fourth, alcohol is a common food addiction, and alcoholics who crave specific types of alcoholic beverages may have an allergy-addiction to the grain or the vegetable that particular beverage is made from. |
| Refer back to the section on food allergies and addictions in chapter 3.
Week 2
Continue the eating habits you established in week 1. Meanwhile, review chapters 4 and 5, and incorporate some additional dietary recommendations. For example, if you still consume diet soft drinks, this would be a good time to switch to water and teas. Green tea, hot or iced, is particularly good because it slows the absorption of carbohydrates. |
| If you have food allergies, Mexican foods may serve up a lot of what you're sensitive to, particularly wheat, corn, and dairy.
To navigate the typical Mexican restaurant, order fajitas—grilled chicken or beef, along with onions, bell peppers, and possibly tomatoes. Eat off the plate instead of assembling these ingredients in tortillas. The guacamole is fine, but skip the beans and rice, which have a lot of carbohydrate calories. |

| A large study at the University of Arizona medical school found that the consumption of soft drinks was strongly associated with nighttime heartburn. food allergies or sensitivities likely play a role, along with inadequate levels of digestive enzymes. If you usually develop heartburn or GERD after eating particular foods, stop eating those foods!
Untreated, chronic heartburn and GERD can develop into Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition, and nighttime heartburn is particularly damaging to the esophagus. But conventional acid-suppressing drugs carry their own risks. |

 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. |

Counter-irritants: One interesting approach to decreasing inflammation and pain in a joint is to use a herbal "counter-irritant," which is thought to increase circulation and move toxins from the joint space. |

Bed wetting occurs for many reasons, ranging from medical conditions such as diabetes to food allergies.
Bed-wetting blend: This herbal formula can be used in combination with other chosen therapies to address bed wetting. It is safe for children and should help to decrease nightly episodes. Corn silk tastes sweet and is! soothing and healing to the urinary tract. Corn silk is also mildly diuretic and contains small amounts of antioxidant flavonoids and minerals. |
| Other common triggers include overeating, eating rich foods, food poisoning, stomach bugs, motion sickness, a weak stomach, food allergies, and pregnancy (morning sickness). It is a common condition and affects children, some more than others, and adults. Most cases of vomiting can be safely treated at home. However, if there is blood in the vomit, accompanying severe stomach pain, indications of dehydration, or the vomiting is prolonged, consult a doctor. DANGER: If the vomiting is severe and accompanied by a high fever, headache, and a stiff neck, this could indicate meningitis. |
| NATUROPATHY
Diet: food allergies appear to be a major cause of eczema, particularly an allergy to milk in infants. In others, an allergy to gluten is a prime culprit. Foods that contain gluten include wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Eliminate ^KjjJJ^T these foods, and any others to which you may be allergic, from your diet for six weeks. Reintroduce one type of food each week and take note of any changes in your skin. It is also important to increase the intake of cold-water fish such as herring, salmon, and mackerel. For children, add 1 tsp of fish oil to food twice a day. |
| It can be triggered by stress, house dust, animal fur, pollen, food allergies, and environmental conditions. It is closely associated with asthma and hay fever. It is an unpredictable disease and there is often no apparent reason for its onset. It can be very upsetting, particularly for children. There are many different types of eczema, with the main ones being contact eczema, caused when an allergen comes into contact with the skin, and atopic eczema, which is passed on genetically. Also see the section on dry skin, p. 69. |

 Avoid smoking.
• food allergies may contribute to water retention, gas, and bloating, which may contribute to congestive menstrual pain.
• An increase in exercise may improve blood flow to the uterus and create an optimal pelvic musculature that will tend to reduce the incidence of menstrual discomfort.
• Maintain optimal digestive function. Irregular bowel habits may be correlated to primary dysmenorrhea. |

 Also, B12 -- there's a whole host of natural things that are great for treating the food allergies. The book will take you through how to prevent the pain, how to treat the pain and how to use the natural things followed by prescription options for each type of pain.
Mike: Do you also cover things people should avoid? For example, dietary influences like aspartame or things that might promote migraines -- or is that a danger zone?
Teitelbaum: I suspect there's some hanky panky with aspartame ever being approved. |

 Have you noticed the recent awareness and concern in schools about children with life-threatening food allergies? This was not a serious problem fifty years ago. Since 1900, more research has been conducted and more knowledge has been gained on the subject of disease than at any time in history. In western nations, there are now more doctors and hospitals per capita than previously. But, why are we less healthy than our ancestors? |

 The cause of Crohn's Disease is still unknown; however, the risk increases with a history of food allergies.
A diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruit, and good sources of protein is suggested to reduce the risk of a breakout, minimize ill effects, and reduce the chances of contracting these diseases. Too many starches, fats, red meat, or dairy products may irritate the colon. Regular physical activity is very important to keep the gastrointestinal tract functioning normally. |
| Recommendations include support of the digestive and immune systems and ruling out food allergies, chemical sensitivities, and heavy metal toxicity. For more information about using enzymes for autism, refer to Enzymes for Autism and Other Neurological Conditions by Karen DeFelice (Thundersnow, 2002).
ENZYME SUPPLEMENTATION SUGGESTIONS
It is best when addressing these issues with enzymes to start with a low dosage one or two times daily. People with autism tend to be more sensitive and do best when the supplemental recommendations are eased into (low and slow). |
| Since food allergies can compromise the integrity of the digestive system and exhaust the immune system, the nutritional support of these two major systems is essential. In addition, soothing the mucosal linings and removing of toxins helps. Enzymes can be used to achieve these goals and also reduce mucus production and inflammation that results from allergic reactions. |
| The exact causes of ADHD are not known, but contributing factors include oxygen deprivation at birth, prenatal trauma, heredity, food allergies and artificial additives in food (particularly foods containing salicylates), smoking during pregnancy, lead poisoning, a low-protein diet, a protease deficiency, and environmental pollutants. |
| Recommendations include lifestyle modification to reduce and manage stress, identification of food allergies, counseling, daily exercise, detoxification, and optimum support of the digestive and immune systems. Enzyme therapy can improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, help strengthen the immune system, balance the body's pH, and fight inflammation and symptoms of allergic responses. |

| Loud snoring and sleep apnea are almost always related to prediabetes or excess weight. food allergies may also be a factor—foods you crave or consume in the evening should be considered possible food allergens. Losing weight and improving your blood-sugar levels will almost always help both your snoring and your sleep apnea.
Avoid overeating at dinnertime. Instead, aim to feel pleasantly full but not stuffed, and avoid snacking after dinner. Allergies or not, late-night snacking will affect your blood-sugar levels in the morning. |

 The stomach and digestive issues associated with conditions such as CFS may be linked through Integrator 3, as are dietary problems such as food allergies and protein sensitivity and microbial issues related to Candida or intestinal bacteria in general. Abdominal hernias, arteriosclerosis, and lithiasis (stones, as in kidney stones) may be associated bioenetgetically with Integrator 3 distortions, although lithiasis would also likely correlate to Integrator 5. |

| In later years, food allergies began to be more of a problem as well.
All my life, I felt there had to be answers as to why we become sick and diseased, and how we can return to health. I asked my physicians, "Why do doctors only treat symptoms? Why don't they talk about the causes of illnesses?" I received no answers from them, so I asked myself, "What can I do? Do I have any power to change my health?"
In my search I continued reading material from the natural health field, feeling that the answers had to be somewhere. |
