Could
Your Child be Suffering From Hidden Food Allergies?:
By Nirala Jacobi ND ( USA)
The issue of food allergies, reactions to preservatives
and food colourings, and food intolerances in children
has received much attention by researchers in recent
years. Studies have shown that many children to react
to foods and food additives, causing a host of health
problems.
In my practice, I frequently see children suffering
from food allergies. Symptoms can range from hives and
asthma, to digestive complaints, ear infections, bed
wetting, eczema, and behaviour problems. Research now
strongly suggests that indeed, food allergies are becoming
more common I western societies. Why is this the case?
Let's take a look at 1) What are food allergies? 2)
What can cause food allergies? 3) How can you test for
food allergies 4) How can they be treated?
What are food allergies?
A food allergy is basically an immunological reaction
to a protein component of a particular food. There are
different types of reactions IgE food allergy is the
more serious reaction that can cause hives, breathing
problems, and anaphylaxis. It is caused by the release
of histamine by particular immune cells. These are the
food allergies commonly tested via skin prick by the
allergist. Most parents know what foods their child
is reacting to because the reaction can occur immediately
after ingesting the food. Strawberries, shellfish, peanuts,
and egg are common IgE mediated food allergies.
IgG food allergies are more difficult to pinpoint because
the reaction can be delayed for up to a day after the
food was eaten. These reactions are less severe and
less life threatening but nevertheless can cause significant
discomfort. Symptoms of the delayed reactions can range
from attention deficit disorders, skin rashes, ear infections,
hay fever, chronic nasal congestion, headaches, and
bed wetting, to name just a few.
What can cause food allergies?
The complex cascade of events is beyond the scope of
this article-here are just a few examples of possible
factors.
The digestive tract is an important mediator in allergies.
Most people don't know that 70-80% of the immune system
is actually located in the gut. The gut has a surface
area of half a tennis court. Peppered throughout that
tennis court are areas called Peyer's patches, which
are like little life guard stations of the immune system.
Covering the surface of the tennis court are beneficial
bacteria like acidophilus and bifidobacteria (probiotics),
which stick to the mucosal wall of the gut. These important
bacteria have several key functions, one of them is
to mature our immune cells located in the gut Peyer's
patches. This is a complicated process of critical importance
to a young immune system like that of a child. Babies
born vaginally pick up their probiotics from the birth
canal. Researchers now believe that Cesarean born babies
have a higher incidence of allergies because they lack
these beneficial bacteria from the birth canal and therefore
cannot properly mature their immune systems.
So probiotics are critically important from an early
age. Another reason we may be seeing more food allergies
is because our food is so much more processed. Wheat,
for example, is now found in many foods you would never
suspect such as lunch meats, soy sauce, and soups. Having
constant exposure to common foods can cause reactions
and intolerances.
Another common factor in the development of food allergies
is a process known as "leaky gut". This occurs when
improperly digested food particles cross the gut wall
and constantly stimulate the immune system to launch
a reaction. This can develop with insufficient digestion,
overgrowth of pathogenic organisms such as candida albicans,
and mucosal insufficiency.
How can you test for food allergies?
I usually recommend the IgG food allergy test from one
of the more reputable laboratories. It tests for over
90 foods and can be conveniently done at home. All it
requires is a quick finger prick to collect 3 drops
of blood and most kids won't even feel it. It is a relatively
costly test, but most parents appreciate knowing which
foods to avoid. Ask your health care practitioner about
this test.
Alternatively, an elimination diet can also be helpful
in identifying which foods your child reacts to. This
process involves systematically avoiding key allergens
such as dairy, gluten (the common allergen in wheat,
barley, rye, spelt, and oats) and eggs. After a period
of 2-3 weeks the food is reintroduced while watching
out for symptom recurrence. This is a bit more tedious
as most of the time it is impossible to avoid all possible
allergens
How can food allergies be treated?
The wonderful thing about children is that, for the
most part, they are very resilient. Their bodies heal
very quickly once allergies are identified.
I usually focus on allergy avoidance for a period of
about 3 months while building up the immune system with
natural products like probiotics and specific nutrients
to stimulate proper immune response. I also often suggest
a gut healing protocol to prevent further "leaky gut"
and to improve digestion.

Prevention is Better Than Cure: with Results Skin
Centre!
THE
OLD saying prevention is better than cure, rings louder
and clearer than ever. Danne Enzyme therapy is the answer
to age prevention, as it keeps your skin your skin function
optimal to ensure you look the age you are, not older.
Regular enzyme therapy can be seen as a "skin workout"
to keep your skin in shape. Just like visiting a gym
to keep our body healthy and looking its best, enzyme
therapy keeps your skin young, healthy and toned.
How does it work? In conjunction with the Danne Remove,
Rebuild, Protect and Maintain concept, a unique blend
of transfer "messenger" enzymes work together at a cellular
level to re-educate the skin to function as it did at
a younger age. Specially formulated Enzymes increase
circulation and creates a lymph drainage action. This
is felt by the client as a tightening and pulsating
sensation of the enzyme masque. This action promotes
a rush of fresh new oxygenated blood from within the
skin, due to dilated capillaries.
Benefits of Enzyme Therapy

to the skin cells encouraging the formation of new elastin
and collagen.

The
Natural Way Says: High GI Foods are a Health Hazard!
A
diet concentrated in white bread, potatoes and other
high Glycaemic Index (GI) foods have been proven to
cause premature death, by increasing risk of cancer,
heart disease and diabetes. High GI foods are those
which cause high blood glucose / insulin spikes creating
instability in blood sugar levels in the long term.
In an article featured in the latest American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition, an analysis of over 37 studies
carried out into GI diets over the last decade overwhelming
proved that high GI diets are highly hazardous to your
health. In fact, researcher Mr Barclay says, "If you
have constant high blood sugar and insulin levels, you
can literally wear out your pancreas, making it very
likely you will contract Type 2 diabetes. " He also
said there was a 'strong relationship' between high
GI foods and common diseases such cancer and heart disease.
Sue Raward, naturopath for The Natural Way is
not at all surprised by these alarming results, "High
GI foods are generally those foods that are over-processed
and / or contain large amounts of sugar or glucose.
As takeaway foods are becoming a more convenient option
for people with busy lives, we are consuming more High
GI foods than ever before. It's no wonder that the incidence
of Type 2 diabetes and obesity are at the highest levels
ever recorded in Australian history. You could say that
Australians are literally eating themselves into an
early grave."
Ms Raward continues, "At The Natural Way, we
have been helping people lose weight for over 27 years
and have been successful due to our holistic approach
to weight loss. We provide our clients with our own
range of natural supplements to balance their body during
the weight loss process, one-on-one weekly consultation

There
was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all
of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to
his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When
I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in
the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife
with me.' And so he got his wife to promise him, with
all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all
of the money into the casket with him. Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting
next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just
before the undertakers got ready to close the casket,
the wife said, 'Wait just a moment!' She had a small
metal box with her; she came over with the box and put
it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket
down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, 'Girl,
I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money
in there with your husband.' The loyal wife replied,
'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word.
I promised him that I was going to put that money into
the casket with him.' You mean to tell me you put that
money in the casket with him!?!?!?' 'I sure did,' said
the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account,
and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he
can spend it.'
