"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies away anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is possible" 1

Why do you have allergies, INTOLERANCES or other chronic OR SKEWED symptoms?

Why is one person severely allergic to peanuts and another not affected.  My oldest son was extremely allergic to cashews when he was young.  The doctor told me at the time that in the case of his cashew reaction, the body was probably reacting to traces of the toxins that were used to open the shell of the nut. In the case of peanuts the same may be true.  Most peanuts are sprayed with fungicide and other chemical processes used to remove the peanut shells, may cause the same type of response.  Even if you start eating only organic nuts after the initial event, your body may still respond with a 'skewed' response due to the memory of the peanut as the threat.

An allergic response is the body's attempt to protect you against the harmful invasion (or perceived harmful invasion) by a substance.  Although there are many genuine life threatening allergies, our bodies can mount an allergic or other type of skewed response to substances or factors that are not really going to hurt us.  What actually hurts us is the anaphylactic or allergic reaction.  This "skewed" response is sometimes the result of an initial assault by toxins or microbes and a body stress event.  After the initial assault is over, the body is extremely vigilant about protecting against other harmful substances.  The brain saves this information and it now becomes a part of your brain's (software) and uses it the next time you consume the same or similar items. Sometimes the brain "overreacts" and mounts a histamine reaction or other immune response to additional or all substances that the person is exposed to, including the foods that they are eating; especially those consumed around the time of the initial exposure to the toxins or offending trigger (or body stress event). Allergies, inflammation and chronic symptoms are just the 'tip of the iceberg'.  To permanently eliminate allergies and chronic symptoms it is important to deal the the 'base of the iceberg' issues and break the associations that are now apart of your body's software that your operating system (mind/body) uses.

Focusing your attention and money on symptomatic relief like medications or permanent allergy elimination treatments for allergies and chronic symptoms, ‘tip of the iceberg’ symptoms, may not provide long term holding power without first addressing the underlying ‘base of the iceberg’ issues. FOOD ALLERGIES: Gone and my other books will provide you with the strategies that I used to regain my health and the recommended path to follow. My blood tests revealed allergic responses to 80+ foods. I am now 100% allergy free and can eat out at any restaurant and eat whatever I want. I suffered from multiple chronic debilitating symptoms. Let me show you the 'right way' to become 100% symptom free. If you experience serious allergic reactions you should consider having an ‘Epipen’ with you at all times. It is also important to have an Epipen to transition to  100% allergy free. This can be a life saving measure. Ask your doctor for a prescription. Being prepared for allergy emergencies is a must.

From my experience, and looking in the rear view mirror of my food allergy journey, the best place 'in hind sight', is to start with the cause - investigating, understanding and dealing with. It can save you valuable time and money and allow you to get back to your life and in the case of allergies - save your life. To learn how read FOOD ALLERGIES: Gone  . THE WHOLE PERSON WELL-BEING EQUATION outlines the recommended approach for the elimination of all symptoms.  To book a consultation see the contact information.
