Allergies
Allergic symptoms in children are a major clue that something is wrong with the child.
Rather than covering up the problem using a drug, it is important to recognize that allergy symptoms are a warning that something in their diet or environment is causing them a problem.
Usually the offending agent is the foodstuff.
This problem is greatly reduced in children who are breast-fed, although allergies still exist in some cases.
In these cases it is usually the mother’s diet which needs to be cleaned up.
The 2 biggest culprits are dairy and gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, oats and spelt).
Usually removing these foods from the child’s diet, and making sure the child is given enough omega-3 fats will eliminate the vast majority of allergies.
Other supplements have also been well documented to reduce allergies in infants.
ShopFreeMart Siaga supplement is safe for people of all ages.
It is best absorbed if held in the mouth for several minutes, but can be mixed with food or other liquids.
Another classic here would be a good probiotic in addition to ShopFreeMart Living Minerals.
One home remedy states that flax seed oil on cottage cheese cures allergies and when combined with borage is even better.
Borage seed oil contains a fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
GLA is known to have anti-inflammatory effects.
Be aware however that most cottage cheese is mostly “Plaster of Paris”!.
Use only Certified Organic cottage cheese.
A team of researchers from Finland found that children who developed allergies ate more margarine and less butter compared with children who did not develop allergies.
Again make sure that your butter comes from grass fed cows and is organic.
This study is not the first to suggest that certain types of fatty acids may play a role in the onset of allergic diseases.
Polyunsaturated fats like those in margarine promote the formation of prostaglandin E2, a substance which promotes inflammation and causes the immune system to release a protein which triggers allergic reactions.
Remember that butter is a natural food, while margarine is one of the WORST things you can eat.
If you suffer from food allergies, it is only by addressing the “whys” of your food allergies that you can hope to actually solve the problem.
Repeated exposure to the same foods, especially in large quantities can be a factor.
By rotating foods and watching closely to their reactions, you may start to get an indication of which foods are causing the allergies.
I recommend when juicing, that you rotate and vary the vegetables you use in your juicing program.
Yet other factors also contribute to the number and severity of allergies.
Let’s examine some of them.
The most common cause of multiple food allergies, according to many allergies experts, is having a ‘leaky gut’ – increased intestinal permeability.
Small holes can develop in the lining of the intestine, which allow large molecules of undigested or incompletely digested foods to enter the bloodstream.
The liver is the main organ inside the human body whose function is to process substances which are “foreign” to our body and to make them “friendly”.
If the quantity of undigested foods which enters the bloodstream is too great for the liver to clean up quickly, the immune system then recognizes these molecules as being foreign to the body and produces antibodies against them.
When the food is eaten again and again and passes into the bloodstream undigested or only partially digested, the antibodies bind with the food. These antibody-food complexes can travel through the bloodstream to any part of the body where they then cause problems.
There are many causes of ‘leaky gut’.
Babies for example are born with higher intestinal permeability than older children or adults.
Therefore, ideally infants should consume only breast milk for the first several months of life and other foods should be introduced with caution.
If breast feeding is not possible, a completely hydrolyzed formula such as “Nutramigen” should be used because it is already broken down into simple sugars, free amino acids, and other very small units.
Cow’s milk, is highly allergenic and should not be given to babies.
Neither should soy formula.
Raw organic goat milk, is very similar to human milk and may be the best substitute if available.
Internal factors in a patient’s body can cause or contribute to a leaky gut.
These include nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory bowel disease, poor digestion, and food allergies.
There is a vicious cycle involved with these internal factors since the leaky gut either causes them or contributes to their severity.
ShopFreeMart Living Minerals is safe for babies, which not only helps to heal weaknesses in the intestinal wall, but also strenthens the immune system, which can also help to relieve many allergies.
Finally, unfriendly organisms present in the digestive tract can cause increased intestinal permeability.
These infections can involve protozoan parasites, yeasts such as Candida albicans, bacteria which are conventionally considered “pathogens” such as Salmonella or an overgrowth of bacteria usually considered nonpathogenic, such as Klebsiella or Pseudomonas.
Hence the importance of maintaining a healthy intestinal flora.
ShopFreeMart Living Minerals is one of the best things you can take to help maintain a healthy intestinal flora.
Parasitic infestations are on the increase because of changes in our lifestyles which have occurred over the last few decades.
International travel is now commonplace.
If you are not a traveler, the world and its parasites will come to you, brought in by imported produce from countries where sanitation is sub-standard.
A common cause of bacterial or fungal problems in the intestine is often the repeated or long term use of antibiotics.
Antibiotics kill both the bacteria you want them to kill and the ‘friendly’ bacteria in the intestine.
This leaves these areas open to be colonized by unfriendly bacteria, yeast, and parasites.
ShopFreeMart PureSilver can eliminate the unfriendly bacteria and yeast both externally and internally.
Alcoholic beverages, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – NSAIDs – (aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, prescription arthritis medications, etc) cause increased intestinal permeability and can compound the problem of ‘leaky gut’ and contribute to food allergies.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – NSAIDs – are now being sold without a prescription and without much warning about their side effects.
This is very unfortunate, as is the sometimes seemingly indiscriminate prescribing of these drugs.
For anyone with the possibility of compromised intestinal health, even a single dose of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug can increase intestinal permeability tremendously.
The Physician’s Desk Reference warns about the possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation when using nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs, and reports that arthritis drugs can lead to the development of inflammatory bowel disease.
Because we may not absorb nutrients from foods to which we are allergic, and because these foods contribute to the irritation of our intestine and decrease absorption even further, the first thing to consider in planning your diet is that you do not eat foods to which you are allergic.
If you have multiple food allergies, the offending foods must be eliminated and all other foods should be eaten at intervals of 4 to 5 days or longer.
This is known as a ‘rotation’ diet. Rotation diets are necessary for people with multiple allergies because if you have overt allergies to many foods, it is likely that you have slight, subclinical allergies to many other foods which you consider safe.
Eating these foods on a rotated basis reduces your exposure to them and may help preserve your tolerance for them.
Many people with food allergies suffer from impaired digestion.
Incomplete digestion of foods which then pass through a leaky gut into the bloodstream is a major contributing factor to the problem of food allergies.
ShopFreeMart Living Minerals and ShopFreeMart Hydration Water have been known to improve digestion.
Dr. William Philpott, in his book “Victory Over Diabetes”, recommends the rotation of digestive enzymes on a 4-day cycle.
This can be accomplished by using pancreatin (from pork and beef), plant enzymes (from Aspergillus orazeae), bromelain (from pineapple), and papain (from papaya).
Bromelain and papain are active in the digestion of protein only, but studies have shown them to be much less potent than pancreatin.
Vitamin C is a general anti-allergy vitamin.
We experience allergic symptoms when an allergen-antibody complex causes mast cells to release histamine and other allergy mediating chemicals.
Vitamin C helps to stabilize mast cells so they are less likely to release these substances.
If people with food allergies avoid harmful substances and address the factors at the root of their allergy problems, such as nutrition, digestion, intestinal health, Liver Cleansing and Colon Cleansing, their allergies can be overcome.
It may take time, but good health is possible.
Black mold is a fungus or yeast that grows in wet areas of the home like showers or walls.
The mold will release spores into the air.
If these spores reach your lungs, they will produce asthma and chronic fatigue-like symptoms.
To remove the mold, mix one dropper of ShopFreeMart PureSilver per each ounce of water that you add to a spray bottle, then spray it on the mold and let it stand for 10 minutes before wiping it off.
This will destroy the mold and likely prevent it from re-growing.
Fungus and mold grow in warm, moist, and sugared areas such as the intestines or vagina.
Taking sugar out of your diet and using PureSilver both topically and internally can treat these.
Take 2 to 3 droppers of ShopFreeMart PureSilver 3 times daily and apply it topically 3 to 4 times daily, if needed.
This dosage should be continued for at least two weeks longer than symptoms are present.
Regular use of ShopFreeMart
– Hydration Water, Siaga, and Living Minerals,
may help reduce symptoms associated with asthma and allergies.
