Allergies - Food

When you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly identifies a specific food or a substance in food as something harmful. In response, your immune system triggers cells to release an antibody known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) to neutralize the allergy-causing food or food substance (the allergen).

The next time you eat even the smallest amount of that food, IgE antibodies sense it and signal your immune system to release a chemical called histamine, as well as other chemicals, into your bloodstream. These chemicals cause allergy symptoms.

The majority of food allergies are triggered by certain proteins in:

• Crustacean shellfish, such as shrimp, lobster and crab
• Peanuts
• Tree nuts, such as walnuts and pecans
• Fish
• Chicken eggs
• Cow’s milk
• Wheat
• Soy
• Other causes
• Parasites
• Candida Overgrowth
• Elimination Issues
• Liver/Gallbladder Issues
• Other Toxicity
• Lack of proper hydration

For some people, an allergic reaction to a particular food may be uncomfortable but not severe. For other people, an allergic food reaction can be frightening and even life-threatening. Food allergy symptoms usually develop within a few minutes to 2 hours after eating the offending food. Rarely, symptoms may be delayed for several hours.

The most common food allergy signs and symptoms include:

• Tingling or itching in the mouth
• Hives, itching or eczema
• Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat or other parts of the body
• Wheezing, nasal congestion or trouble breathing
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting

As mentioned above, in some people, a food allergy can trigger a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This can cause life-threatening signs and symptoms, including:

• Constriction and tightening of the airways
• A swollen throat or the sensation of a lump in your throat that makes it difficult to breathe
• Shock with a severe drop in blood pressure
• Rapid pulse
• Dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
• Untreated, anaphylaxis can cause a coma or even death.

VERY IMPORTANT:

• Acidophilus (EQ HDA): Powerful immune enhancer with digestive enzymes for improved digestion. Take as directed on label.
• Quercetin (BL Inflam Redux 2), calcium pantothenate, and calcium ascorbate (vitamin C). 
• Calcium and magnesium: Calcium is needed to help reduce stress and magnesium is needed to balance with calcium. Use calcium chelate form. For calcium, take 1,500–2,000 mg daily. For magnesium, take 350 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount from all sources.
• Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6 ) (Cell Forté from Enzymatic Therapy): Supports the immune system. 2 capsules 2-4 times daily
• TE LypoZyme: Powerful immune enhancer with digestive enzymes. For improved digestion. 1 capsule with meals
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): Has antiallergenic properties equal to or better than those of antihistamines. Take as directed on label.
• Raw adrenal glandular, and raw spleen glandular, and raw thymus glandular: (NS Adrenal Support):  To stimulate proper immune function. Raw adrenal is very important to prevent adrenal exhaustion. Take 2 capsules 2-4 times daily
• Vitamin B complex, plus extra pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and vitamin B12, and vitamin B6: Vitamin B complex is needed for proper digestion and nerve function. Extra pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) is a antistress vitamin. Vitamin B12 is needed for proper assimilation of nutrients. Vitamin B6 helps to relieve wheezing and allergy attacks. Use a high-stress formula of vitamin B complex. Consider injections. Use a lozenge or sublingual form of extra pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). Use a lozenge or sublingual form of vitamin B12. For Vitamin B complex, take 100 mg of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) daily. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6 , and 1,000 mcg folate daily. For extra pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), take 100 mg 3 times daily. For Vitamin B12, take 300–1,000 mcg 3 times daily. For Vitamin B6, take up to 50 mg 2 or 3 times daily.
• Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (NS Liposomal Vitamin C): Protects the body from allergens and moderates the inflammatory response. Take up to 2,000 mg daily, in divided doses.

IMPORTANT:

• B1 and B12: An excellent cell protector. Take as directed on label.
• Natural carotenoid complex (Betatene): Free radical scavengers that inhibit allergic reactions. Take as directed on label.
• Proteolytic enzymes (NS Proteolytic Enzymes): To aid digestion and destroy free radicals. Caution: Do not give to a child. Take as directed on label. Take between meals on an empty stomach. 2 capsules 2-3 times daily

HELPFUL:

• Bee pollen: Strengthens the immune system. Use raw crude pollen, preferably produced within 10 miles of your home. Caution: Bee pollen may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. Discontinue use if a rash, wheezing, discomfort, or other symptoms occur. Start by taking a few granules at a time and work up to 2 tsp daily.
• Coenzyme Q10 (FGF CoMega or EQ CoQ10): Improves cellular oxygenation and immune function. Take 100 mg daily.
• NS Amino Complex: Supplies protein in a form that is rapidly absorbed and assimilated. 4 capsules daily
• NS Grape seed extract: A powerful antioxidant to prevent free radical damage. 2 capsules 2-3 times daily
• Glucosamine sulfate or N-acetylglucosamine: Important for regulating the mucous secretions of the respiratory system. For either, take as directed on label.
• L-cysteine and L-tyrosine: Promotes healing from respiratory disorders. Helpful for stress and allergic disorders. Take 500 mg each daily, on an empty stomach. Take with water or juice, not milk. Take with 50 mg vitamin B6 and 100 mg vitamin C for better absorption.
• Manganese (NS Manganese Plus): An important component in many of the body’s enzyme systems. Use manganese chelate form. Take 4 mg daily for 3 months. Take separately from calcium.
• Multivitamin and mineral complex with calcium and magnesium, and vitamin D3: All nutrients are needed in balance. Three nutrients necessary for proper immune function. For multivitamin and mineral complex with calcium and magnesium, use a hypoallergenic formula and take as directed on label. For Vitamin D3, take 10 mcg (400 IU) daily.
• Potassium: Necessary for adrenal gland function. Use potassium proteinate or potassium chelate form. Take 99 mg daily.
• Vitamin A, and vitamin E, and zinc: Three nutrients necessary for proper immune function. For vitamin A, take 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily. Do not exceed this amount from all sources. For vitamin E, use d-alpha-tocopherol form and take 90 mg (200 IU) daily. For zinc, take 40 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount daily from all supplements.

Pineapple - Pineapple contains an enzyme known as bromelain that has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, which are beneficial for reducing allergic reactions.

Onions - Onions are a prebiotic, meaning they are needed to fuel the “good” bacteria in the gut. It is important to keep the digestive tract happy as it houses seventy-five percent of the immune system and controls how the body reacts to allergens. Quercetin is the active ingredient found in onions.

Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory herbs on earth with thousands of studies to back this claim. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric that is responsible for its benefits.

Ginger tea has been used to treat many ailments, including nausea and digestive problems. It remains a popular home remedy to ease an upset stomach and fight inflammation.

Lemons are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps maintain a robust immune system and protects against infection and disease. One older study found that long-term lemon use reduced symptoms such as sneezing and watery eyes associated with severe allergic rhinitis. You can slice a lemon, put it in water, and drink it throughout the day, or squeeze the juice from one or two lemons and dilute it with water to get the potential benefits of lemons.

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and can help fight inflammation. Some studies suggest it can also hinder mast cell activation and block histamines. Quercetin, a flavonoid found in green tea, may help stabilize the cells that release histamine in the body, resulting in an antihistamine effect.

Carrot juice is a more uncommon home remedy used to alleviate allergy symptoms. However, it is full of nutrients, providing carotenoids, potassium, and vitamins A, C, and K.
