.Food Intolerance Testing Part 2
0 Comments
Do you suspect that foods could be causing you problems but don’t know where to start?
Food Allergies and Intolerances have grown in prevalence and will continue to grow, with one in four people expected to be diagnosed. Causes of this growing problem include environmental, gut flora changes, antibiotics, illness, virus, toxins, indoor air pollution, agricultural practices, stress and poor digestion. Food sensitivity can also be caused by low stomach acid and other digestive enzymes, not chewing food adequately, compromised gut membrane, immune dysregulation, flora imbalances and intestinal permeability (also known as Leaky Gut). Reflux medications have been shown to promote the development of immediate-type food allergies. Sensitisation can occur due to associated elements such as the mould on peanuts, the chemicals used in agriculture and naturally occurring enzyme inhibitors in nuts, seeds, legumes and grains. Many studies have shown the protective effect of breastfeeding in reducing type one diabetes. Probiotics have been shown to reduce milk allergies and prebiotics are beneficial in reducing the prevalence of eczema. Omega 3 supplementation reduces risk of allergic sensitisation to milk, eggs and other foods in a number of studies. Omega 3 supplementation during pregnancy may be preventative against infantile wheeze. Maternal intake of Omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids may increase the risk of childhood eczema. Children’s consumption of fish in the first year of life was more important than maternal consumption of fish during pregnancy at preventing eczema at two years. This is the end of part one - part two coming up soon. Food Intolerance Testing of 59 foods is available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays.

Researchers found that when comparing placebo (inert) with antibiotics, there was no significant difference. Steroids were also used in a different study and found to not assist lower respiratory infections either, unless the person was already diagnosed with Asthma. Many years ago a pharmacy journal condemned the use of chemical laden cough mixtures for children, stating they did not work and caused more harm than benefit. HERBAL MEDICINE TO THE RESCUE A combination of herbs works the best with Ivy Leaf leading the pack. Other herbs include Elecampane, Elderberry, Fennugreek, Mullein plus small amounts of licorice, echinacea and maritime pine - all carefully prepared by a herbalist in a 200ml bottle. Works like MAGIC!! I've been making this mixture for years with plenty of people coming back months or years later for a repeat, due to another respiratory infection and they know how well the herbal cough mixture works. If there has been a tendency to too many coughs, colds or flu's, we might add a strong zinc supplement to support the immune system. If you do not have a local herbalist/naturopath, we can send this to you anywhere in Australia by overnight Express Post.

Scientific studies have just been reported as saying that Aspirin does not provide any greater benefit in preventing heart related events when the bleeding events caused by Aspirin are also included. Aspirin was found to reduce cardiovascular events by only 11% while it increased serious bleeds by 43%. Also no benefit was found in preventing cancer death or new cancer diagnosis by taking Aspirin. Enter Kyolic Garlic - The HERO The hero of this story is Kyolic Garlic, which a recent study shows has excellent effectiveness in reversing high blood pressure, arterial stiffness, inflammation and benefiting gut microbiota(healthy bacteria). Garlic was found to have multiple benefits for cardiovascular health with an excellent safety profile and minimal, if any, side effects. It is best not to make decisions about your medications based in these two studies but it is worth speaking with a health professional about your options. Chat with Romi today 0421218469.

 Pain hurts your ability to have fun......here are solutions....................The photo shows me a few years ago and I'm just as fit now in my 60's as I was in my early 30's (before that I was always sick; until I learned about natural medicine).
Pain kills the fun in your life................. Just yesterday, I wore a pair of shoes that severely hurt my feet. My brow was furrowed, I looked worried and in pain and I wasn't having any fun; not like my usual carefree self anyway. You, or friends or family may feel this way every day. That is no way to live!! Some important reasons for pain, beside injury or degeneration is your acid/alkaline balance. This is something a good Naturopath (like me) can fix. Even an injury or degeneration, or any other cause of pain, can be helped by balancing your acidity. I say this from both personal experience and because science says so - A Japanese experiment showed that the greater the acidity in a joint (even a healthy one) will increase pain in proportion to the increase in acidity. Major anti acidity foods are vegetables and we all need to eat more of them. One way to consume more vegetables is in smoothies where you can hide them and use other ingredients to make them taste delicious. Contact me for free smoothie recipes and to make your appointment for a Comprehensive Naturopathic Check Up.
