Calming food allergies &
sensitivities
Hi John
Food is clearly your body's sustenance--your fuel. It gives your body
the nutrients that you need to carry out life's functions, to maintain health,
to heal and repair and to encourage healthy cell development.
But it also has a dark side.
Because it can also make you very, VERY sick.
And I'm not even talking about food
poisoning.
I'm talking about
allergies and sensitivities.
One is pretty clear-cut, and the other is not so obvious. But it's essential
to know the difference and how they may be affecting YOU.
Here's what I mean:
Food allergies
When someone is truly allergic to a food, there is NO mistaking the
cause-and-effect relationship.
Simply put, food allergies are when your immune system sees a harmless
substance as a dangerous pathogen or invader and your body reacts by releasing
the hormone histamine. This causes the classic itchy skin or swelling in
the lips, mouth, tongue and throat.
Other reactions can include a runny nose, shortness of breath, hives,
flushing, dizziness, vomiting or diarrhea.
A much less common--but far more dangerous--reaction is
anaphylaxis.
This is when your body releases a HUGE amount of histamine after an offending
food is eaten.
It causes blood vessels to dilate, blood pressure to drop and body tissues
to swell. If there is too much swelling in the nose and throat, the air
supply can be cut off and death can result.
People at risk for anaphylaxis are advised to carry a device that allows
them to quickly inject themselves with adrenaline to reverse the
life-threatening reaction.
Most food allergies fall into these 8 categories:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Wheat
- Soy
- Peanuts
- Nuts that grow on trees (almonds,
cashews, pecans, etc.)
- Fish
- Shellfish
Thankfully, food allergies are
extremely rare -- they affect
only
1-2% of adults and can be easily diagnosed with proper skin or
blood testing.
As you would expect, avoidance of the offending food or foods is crucial.
Food sensitivities
Although many people use the terms interchangeably, food
sensitivities
are
vastly different from food
allergies.
With food sensitivities, the cause-and-effect relationship is not so clear
because no histamine is released and you typically don't get symptoms right
away after eating the food.
Many times it can be DAYS before your body reacts!
Plus, the symptoms triggered by food sensitivities can run the gamut and can
be associated with MANY other conditions, so it's very hard to pinpoint food as
the cause.
Here are just some of the possible symptoms of food sensitivities:
- Head:
Migraines, difficulty sleeping, dizziness
- Mouth and
throat: Coughing, gagging, sore throat,
hoarseness, frequent throat clearing
- Eyes, ears
and nose: Runny or stuffy nose, ear ringing,
blurred vision, watery eyes, hearing loss, dark circles under eyes
- Heart and
lungs: Irregular heartbeat, asthma, chest pain, shortness of
breath, bronchitis
- Gastrointestinal: Nausea,
vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, stomach pain, heartburn
- Skin: Hives,
rashes, psoriasis, eczema, acne, hair loss, dry skin
- Muscles
and joints: Weakness, joint aches, arthritis,
swelling
- Mental:
Depression, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, apathy, aggressive
behavior, learning difficulties, confusion, cravings, binge eating or
drinking
As you can imagine, determining that you even have a food sensitivity to
begin with and then narrowing down what foods are the offenders can be like
trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Take a look at the above list again. Are you suffering from some of those
symptoms? You might even be on medication for them and are wondering why you're
not feeling any better.
If so, chances are excellent food sensitivities may be the cause.
Now, unlike food allergies, food sensitivities are
CREATED. They are
not pre-destined at birth, and are usually the result of a leaky gut wall.
What happens is this:
Creation of a food
sensitivity
When your gut (intestinal) wall is healthy, it functions like a gatekeeper.
It allows properly digested fats, proteins and starches "through the
gate" to be absorbed into the bloodstream so they can be assimilated and
used by your body.
At the same time, poorly digested food particles, dangerous toxins and
harmful bacteria are "locked in" to the intestine and held there
until they can be eliminated with your feces.
But the problem arises when your gut wall becomes weak and too porous
(leaky). Then it starts allowing improperly broken down food molecules that are
too big for your body to use to slip through into the bloodstream.
Your immune system sees these "big food chunks" as invaders and
begins developing a reaction to fight them off.
If this happens over and over, your body will eventually see that food in
ANY size molecule or state of digestion as dangerous and voila--you have given
birth to a food sensitivity.
Plus, don't forget that dangerous toxins and bacteria may be allowed to pass
into your bloodstream from your leaky gut wall too, causing any number of
sicknesses or diseases to flourish.
Encouraging news
If your life is affected by food allergies or known or suspected food
sensitivities, I have some encouraging news for you.
Probiotics and digestive enzymes can make you feel a WHOLE lot
better!
Here's how:
For food allergies
Research has shown that
probiotic supplements can significantly reduce
allergic reactions to foods.
One study was conducted at Seoul National University in South Korea and
published in 2005 in the Federation of European Microbiological Societies' Immunology
and Medical Microbiology journal.
The researchers tested two groups of mice that were allergic to egg white.
Half of the mice were given the probiotic strains Bifidobacterium bifidum and
Lactobacillus casei every day for 5 weeks and the other half received none.
After the 5 weeks, all of the mice were given egg white. Those treated with
the probiotics had
significantly fewer allergic reactions, measured by
how much histamine they produced.
Human trials have also been conducted that show similar results.
In one study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology,
researchers from Finland studied 27 babies who were allergic to cow's milk. For
one month, cow's milk was removed from their diets and 13 of them were given
the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The other 14 were given no
probiotics.
After one month, all of the babies were given cow's milk again. Those who
had the L. rhamnosus showed
significantly fewer reactions to the milk
than the babies who received no probiotics.
Food allergies were one of the reasons we included potent strains of both
Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus casei in
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula.

Those and Super Shield's 11 other superstar strains will help fight the
effects of both food allergies and environmental allergies, as well as beef up
your immune system!
For food sensitivities
Part 1.
Super
Shield probiotic formula shines here too.

You see, one of the most common causes of leaky gut syndrome (which is the
"instigator" behind most food sensitivities) is
harmful bacterial
overgrowth in the gut.
In other words, the "bad guys" overcome the beneficial bacteria in
your gut and "eat away" at your intestinal lining, making it too
porous.
Thanks to processed and fast food, stress, medications and other factors,
many people have serious harmful bacteria overgrowth and don't even know it.
And while having a healthy diet can help reverse that and encourage your
friendly flora to thrive, it may not be enough.
So probiotic supplementation is crucial for a strong gut wall and the
prevention of food sensitivities.
Super
Shield’s 13 powerhouse strains will line up along your intestinal wall,
helping to make it less porous. That way, dangerous particles can be
"locked in" and eliminated in your feces instead of seeping into your
blood and encouraging food sensitivities and other illnesses.
Part 2.
The other half of fighting food sensitivities is making sure your food
particles are broken down completely.
While a good diet is key here, the truth is many people are not going to eat
right 100% of the time.
Others may try to improve their diet but eventually will fall back into
their old habits.
And still others would rather sit naked in a room full of mosquitos than to
eat a fruit or vegetable!
So to ensure that ALL of your foods are broken down like they need to be ALL
the time, you can give your body some help as needed with
Digestizol Max
digestive enzymes.

Sherry:
My life has changed for the better since
reading all of your literature! Thank you for everything you write.
Your probiotics have literally changed my
life. In a nutshell, I am no longer controlled by my colon-I control
it!
I am 70 years old and in general good health,
but having "issues."
I was referred to a gastroenterologist who
after 10 minutes, and $650 told me I needed pills for "spastic
colon."
After reading the side-effects, and being
married to a physician, I tossed them, and opted to try probiotics instead.
After about a month, I can honestly say you
have probably saved me from having surgery. A tiny bit of adjustment in
my morning routine, but that's ok-I can't say enough about your Super Shield product,
and about all of the helpful suggestions regarding food combinations.
