Childhood Allergies and Sensitivities

Do you have an allergic child? First, let me advise that it is not normal, although common, to react to dusts, pollens, or a wide variety of foods.
My little “talk” for parents goes something like this.
If you are an earthling, you should be able to suck in the air provided on this planet, and eat (at least) the majority of the foods, without an inflammatory reaction. I have yet to treat a martian or other alien life form, so I am not sure how they might react to our air or food, but we are designed for breathing our air and eating our food. Reaction to this process, regardless of the pollen counts, indicates immune dysregulation.
As a past allergy sufferer, I know the misery of allergies. In retrospect, I also know how I developed allergies (at least theoretically based on current science), and how I created an allergy free life after all these years, AND how we can do the same for you or your child in much less time.
How does this happen? Take this short test.
- Were you vaccinated prior to age 2?
- Did you use antibiotics prior to age 2?
- Were you exposed (regularly) to cigarette smoke?
- Do or did you eat trans fats or hydrogenated oils?
- Does or did your diet consist largely of grains, cereals, breads, and flour.
- Do or did you lack a wide variety of colorful fruits and veggies?
- Do or did you eat foods treated with hormones, chemical pesticides or fertilizers?
- Were chemical sanitizers (antibacterials) used on a regular basis?
This is the list of statistically significant exposures that shift the immune system, causing reaction to pollens, dusts, and multiple foods. I was exposed to 7 of the 8 on the list. (We were dirty little kids, the only exception)
How did I “balance” my immune system, even after massive antibiotics, the loss of my spleen, and second hand smoking two packs a day for 18 years?
I started with the oils, nearly 10 years ago. I began taking fish oils in high doses, which counteract the high intake of grains and hydrogenated oils. I also noticed much better memory and recall during this time.
I then started eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies, and included a daily Greens First shake in my diet, which provides tons of antioxidants which clean up immune inflammation.
I worked on my gut immune system with probiotics, Immunoglobulins, and protein.
I began treating my adrenal stress physiology with glandulars, phosphatidyl serene, and most recently, a variety of adaptogens.
The last step was shifting my immune function back to center, using specific botanicals, which in my case was Echinacea, astragalus, and immune mushrooms. (This can be different depending on how the immune system has shifted). I also added Glutathione cream this past year which has immune regulatory effects as well.
The end result was an allergy free spring and summer. I was 90% allergy free the last couple years, and now 99% allergy free this year with the addition of the last step.
Don’t let your child live nearly 40 years with allergies. Bring them in for a personalized approach to treating and healing allergies. And, as the first article mentions, an improved brain!
