Why are there more food allergies now than ever before? More children than ever are being seen in emergency rooms having trouble breathing.
I found an article which had some useful information and some that is not so useful. I’ll explain why.
This is what the doctor said at the end of the article. To which I say: Phooey.
Ultimately, Rubin believes little can be definitively done to prevent children from developing allergies. Allergies, he notes, are hereditary — when one allergic person marries another, their odds of having allergic children rise 90 percent. “If they’re destined to develop allergies, they will develop allergies,” he says. “Can you prevent them from occurring? The answer is no.”
Phooey.
As a young child I developed asthma. In my teens I was one of those kids in the emergency room unable to breathe.
Later on, lovely drugs were developed which eased my symptoms. Didn’t cure anything but I felt normal and could breathe easily.
And then I discovered on my own that those lovely drugs were weakening my bones. Not good.
They doctors said they were fine (“What is the option?”) but I didn’t think that was fine.
So finally, once and for all, I weaned myself off them. (Some drugs you must go off slowly.)
At the same time, I began taking large quantities of potent vitamins and minerals. There is a difference between garden-variety drugstore vitamins and those designed to be therapeutic by doctors with a lot of knowledge.
And, at the same time, I continued eliminating aggravating foods and adding good things to my diet.
Here I am. No more allergies because I don’t eat the foods that caused them. No more trouble breathing. NO trouble breathing. No drugs. Love it!
How did this happen?
I was apparently predestined by genetics (other relatives had problems) to have breathing issues BUT something has to trigger it.
That’s how your body works. Almost everything happens for a reason.
Cause and effect.
I didn’t know exactly which of the vitamins and minerals I was using made a difference. And they do work together just like all the parts of your body do.
I have come to believe through education (you must always educate yourself about your body) that the things which helped the most were magnesium, the B vitamins, fish oil (reduces inflammation or swelling) and the sunshine vitamin D3. I’m sure others helped, too, but I think these were key.
As you can see in this article excerpt above, some doctors don’t think you can help yourself and change your health.
But I do. I know it in my heart.
You can do it, too.
You and your children can breathe more easily when you get rid of the cause(s) of your problem.
That’s how bodies work. Give ’em what they need. Take away the bad stuff that causes problems. Get better. 🙂
Eliminate the foods and fake foods that cause your food allergies.
Eliminate fake scents from your space.
Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
Those steps will help you get rid of your food allergies!
