Food allergies and pulse test

[Guest guest]

ALLERGIES

When a person is exposed to an allergic food the bloodstream and tissues release

chemicals, mainly histamine which triggers an allergic response. Allergies cause

intestinal problems. Allergies upset the systems of the body, alter the level of

hormones, damage the digestive system and interfere with the creation of brain

chemicals. Another cause of food allergies is insufficient hydrochloric acid and

digestive enzymes in the stomach (deficiency is common after age 40).

Treatment: An elimination diet, avoiding all foods that might cause the allergy

for 10 days. Try adding one food at a time to test for allergic symptoms. Take

your pulse for a few days prior to the food test. Once you know what your pulse

rate averages normally, after you eat an allergic food, taking your pulse 30

minutes after eating the food, chances are if you are allergic your pulse will

speed up.
