Conventional allergists use skin prick testing. Those
are great for contact allergies like dust, dander and
the like; however it is not great for food allergies.
First off, we do not stick our food under our skin; it
goes in our stomach which is a completely different
environment. But even if we did stick our food under
our skin, the only reaction you would see is an
immediate IGe reaction and it would not show the
more prevalent IGg delayed reactions. So when
people come in and say they have already been
tested and have no allergies, if they only had the skin
prick, their allergist did not evaluate 80+ % of
reactions.
When testing for IGg reactions, if the patient comes
back to with allergies to things they eat all the time
it is because they are overexposed to those foods.
However that does not mean they can never have
that food again. With the combination of fixing the
digestive system and GI barrier, and taking that food
out of the diet for long enough for the immune
system to come down, fixing the gut and then
reintroducing that food slowly, it is possible to get
over that allergy and be able to eat that food again.
We can retrain the immunological response to many
of these delayed food reactions because these
reactions (IGg) antibodies are usually developed as a
protective mechanism to coat the antigen so more
aggressive pathways would not be affected. So it is
not that these IGgs when detected are inherently a
bad thing, they are not a disease or disorder, they
are just down stream things from bad digestion and
stress. We would then need to focus on gut
restoration and healing. Once the body is able to
digest better and absorb, it can then render those
proteins less antigenic.
Currently, the two best ways to test for delayed
reactions is through E.L.I.S.A or ALCAT test, both of
which are simple blood tests (finger prick or blood
draw) and are available to all my patients if
necessary.

There is no reason for hysteria. Youve heard from
the mainstream press that an estimate 36,000 people
die in the US yearly because of influenza with
200,000 hospitalizations. However, a closer
examination of the statistics shows that the
overwhelming percentage of those deaths was are
due to pneumonia, and in those with pre-existing
health conditions, not the flu. And generally the
serious cases will be in those who have compromised
immune systems.
What I am more concerned about is the damage that
the vaccines can cause. There are basically 2 types,
live-virus nasal spray and a dead-virus injectable
vaccine.
The live virus spray is not recommended if you have
immune problems. Being a live vaccine, it can cause
the very same undesirable effects as the flu: cough,
runny nose, congestion, irritability, headaches, chills,
muscle aches and fever. It can also replicate inside
your body and spread to others. So if you do get this
vaccine, youre cautioned not to visit immune-
compromised individuals for three weeks after getting
the spray.
Furthermore, this vaccine has MXG, a neurotoxin
which, in your nose is delivered very close to your
brain.
The dead virus vaccine avoids giving you an infection
or causing you to infect others. However, it comes in
multiuse vials requiring preservatives and
other additives. Here are just a few Ive noticed in
the vaccines
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used to disinfect and also is a dye) Formaldehyde, an embalming fluid and known cancer- causing agent Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimers disease and seizures, is also cancer producing in laboratory mice. Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) and mercury is implicated in autoimmune diseases and many neurological disasters from Alzheimers to Autism. According to Hugh Fudenburg, MD who is considered
the worlds leading geneticist with hundreds of
original publications; if an individual has had 5
consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980,
his/her changes of getting Alzeimers disease are 10
times higher than if they had no shots.The cause is
the mercury and aluminum that is in the shots. The
gradual buildup in the brain causes cognitive
dysfunction.
Aside form toxic metals and preservatives, the
vaccine is made in fertilized chicken eggs, which
brings a risk of allergic reactions. Furthermore, drug
companies claim the vaccine is pathogen free, but
what does that really mean? Only that they havent
detected other viruses in the cultures, and that is
not very reassuring. Back in the 60s millions of
Americans were infected with a simian virus SV-40,
known to cause disease in apes, but with unknown
effects in humans. The drug companies did not
consider it a risk at the time. Now, 40 years later,
were seeing an epidemic of strange cancers
harboring this virus. Contamination was whitewashed
then, of course until it was detected, they thought
the vaccine was pathogen free, but that is only to
the extent of know pathogens. We havent a clue as
to the unknown viruses and retroviruses in might
contain.
And what about the effectiveness off the vaccine? A
recent Harvard study looked at the flu-related deaths
in children. It found the death rate was the same
whether the children were immunized for flu or not!
Heres why: Influenza viruses mutate at a high rate.
Unlike infection with measles, which confers life-long
immunity to a stable virus, the flu virus changes from
year to year. When the flu comes around next
season, it can look totally different to your immune
system, so there might not be any immunity from
past years.
This rate of mutation is quite variable. Scientists
must guess which specific strains will be out there
well in advance to prepare adequate stock of
vaccine. There is no guarantee they will be even
close to the real thing. Its only a best-guess
scenario and by the time they do know, its way too
late to prepare a vaccine to the specific virus.
But what if the bird-flu or Spanish flu-type pandemic
were to hit the U.S? Obviously the vaccine wouldnt
help you. So whats the answer?
Believe it or not, the best way to prevent the flu is to build up your immune system so that you do not catch it in the first place. Eating a healthy whole food diet, minimizing processed food, preservatives and other toxins is your first line of defense. Getting adequate nutrients that are right for your body is next. Get tested to see your deficiencies and supply your body with the very essential nutrients it specifically needs. Getting adequate sleep and reducing stress are important as well. There are also a few products that can be great for everyone despite the differences in deficiencies and excesses to help the immune system. Immunitone Plus This powerful immune supportive formula combines herbs that have antiviral and antibacterial abilities as well as the ability to maintain Natural Killer (NK) cell activity and cytokine synthesis. Immunitone Plus is safe enough to use for chronic viral conditions and in cases of a weak immune system and acute illness.* There is impressive research on every ingredient of Immunitone. This formula is extremely powerful yet safe enough to use in high doses for acute applications, while also being suitable for long-term use in chronic conditions. This formula contains green tea standardized to a very high level of EGCG as well as standardized Echinacea augustifolia, Andrographis paniculata, and even Goldenseal. Standardized herbs contain optimal and consistent amounts of the most active compounds. Allicillin Garlic has been used therapeutically for centuries and has thousands of studies documenting its effectiveness in treating everything from the common cold to resistant bacterial infections. We can thank the garlic plant for this potent allicin product, however, the abilities of Allicillin go far beyond the abilities of ordinary garlic. Thanks to advanced patented technology from Europe, for the first time in history we are able to truly capture and stabilize the most therapeutic ingredient produced by the crushing of garlic, known as allicin. Allicillin contains 300 ppm allicin which goes way beyond the allicin potential of common garlic products - it is the equivalent of 40 bulbs of garlic. Feel free to ask us for research on the common cold, hay fever and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus if you would like to find out more! |

I have heard the certain medication can cause a
log of stress on your liver, is there something I can
do to help protect myself?
There are some drugs where the good outweighs the
bad and you may not have a choice about taking
them and in those cases, Yes there is something you
can do! According to a new study, two nutrients can
do just that.
In the study, researchers gave two groups of rats a
dose of gentamycin, a commonly used antibiotic that
causes kidney damage. They gave the first group of
mice only the gentamycin. But they gave the second
group CoQ10 and green tea, individually and in
combination, before giving them the antibiotic.
The mice in the first group had significant
deterioration in common blood test markers for kidney
function, such as BUN and creatinine. They also had
significant free radical-type damage and loss of
antioxidant enzymes in their kidney cells.
But the rats in the second group, given the nutrients,
did not suffer the renal damage found in the first
group. They also had less free radical damage and
more antioxidant enzymes in their kidney cells. The
results were "most dramatic," according to the
researchers, when both nutrients were combined.
All drugs have toxicity - even the good ones. But you
can reduce that toxicity simply by increasing your
antioxidant levels.
Modern medicine ignores the fact that the sickest
people, those requiring the most drugs, are usually
the most nutritionally depleted. So they suffer most
of the dangerous side effects.
We could eliminate much of this damage with a good
antioxidant supplement such as DFH Ultimate Antiox 3
a day and a diet based on whole natural foods with
plenty of fruits and vegetables which are loaded with
antioxidant protection.
