Food and Environmental Sensitivities

What are allergies and sensitivities? 

Allergies and sensitivities are exaggerated responses by the immune system in response to certain substances/stressors. Normally, the immune system should see these substances/stressors as harmless. In some people, the immune system recognizes these substances/stressors as foreign invaders and generates a histamine response.

Common Allergies and Sensitivities

Some common allergies and sensitivities may include but are not limited to:

• Electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) – computers, phones, towers, etc
• Foods – dairy, gluten, sugar, grains, corn, eggs, etc
• Chemicals – sulfate/sulfur, BPA/PAH/PBDE/PCB, chemical additives, MSG, pesticides, etc
• Metals – aluminum, barium, cadmium, iron, radium, mercury, etc
• Immune Challenges – bacterial, viral, parasites, fungal, etc
• Scars – surgical, injury, tattoos, piercings, v a c c i n a t i o n s, circumcision, tooth extractions, etc

Autoimmune Challenges

Immune Challenges

Some of these symptoms may look like:

• congestion
• runny nose/sneezing
• sore throat
• headache
• itching
• air hunger
• rapid eye movement
• constipation
• diahrea
• vomiting

• etc

Gastrointestinal Challenges

Each year about 62 million Americans are diagnosed with a digestive disorder. This statistic ranges from the occasional upset stomach to more serious issues like colon cancer.

Here are a few facts and statistics that may get you thinking:

• As of 2021, 25% of all surgical operations are due to digestive dis-eases
• Digestive issues are one of the biggest complaints that keep people from the work force
• More Americans are hospitalized due to digestive issues than any other condition
• 14 million cases are treated in this country every year
• 20 million Americans suffer with chronic digestive upset
• In our Nation, digestive issues are one of the most serious health concerns in terms of discomfort and pain

Wow! How uncomfortable. It’s never fun to live in chronic pain and discomfort. It doesn’t really sound like many people are finding relief within the conventional system either.
