I first observed a connection between food allergies and toxic exposures more than thirty years ago when I was working in the office of a doctor who was treating patients with multiple chemical sensitivities.
They would come in reacting to chemicals and foods and the doctor would send them off to the beach for a couple of weeks to give their bodies a break from the bombardment of toxic exposures. This was the treatment then, before we knew about saunas.
And it worked, too. Patients would come back from the beach happy and excited that they could eat any food they wanted without reaction.
And that’s how I made the connection between toxic chemicals overloading your body and food allergies.
This week two emails came in regarding toxic chemical exposure and food allergies.
One was the RODALE WELLNESS: 10 Crazy Things Pesticides Do to Your Body.
The other is WHOLE LIFE NUTRITION: How Chemicals Increase Food Allergies and Food Sensitivities. This well-documented post shows how toxic chemicals damage your immune system, leading to food allergies (and allergies and sensitivities of all sorts).
I was happy to see the scientific support for this, after observing it all those years ago.
The pieces of this toxic puzzle are coming together.
