Re: Re: Food Allergies Detox?

October 10, 2005

According to allergy tests, I'm allergic to dogs. However, I've never

had an issue with a dog fed the raw diet.

Allergy tests are only as accurate and reliable as the sources of the

allergens. Its just like by-products. What exactly are you testing

yourself for?

Sincerely,

Lana M. Gibbons

Nina,

I understand your point of view on this. I was orginally thinking that I should

go ahead and do it because it would be really nice to know. I am, however, not

in a position to be spending a few hundred for a test like that so I have to

decide what would be more benefitial based on what I feel like my body is

telling me; which as of this day is not to eat any more wheat or gluten products

until my adrenal glands are back up to 100% or better.

During my upcoming " health recovery " phase I am also actually going to meditate

(not just say I'm going to then don't like I usually do) AND I am going to tap

into my dormant intiutive " source " by starting to painting again. This in

addition to the decipline w/the rest of the program will hopefully give my inner

guide a louder voice, so I suppose you could also call it faith.

I'll update my health page with the program I've worked out. I may even turn it

into a blog to record my journey. If I can reach people by telling about my

experience and influence them to at least consider getting 'religion' about real

nutrition - all the better!

And I just may have planted the right seeds in the first person today when they

asked me where to go for more information.

One that includes everything: supplements, exercise, diet, how long to

do it and so on. I think I can begin to put one together based on

what I've learned, but if anyone knows of a guide, I'd really

appreciate it.

Lana,

Well, it'd be just a general food allergy test. The one I was looking at was

the 96-Food Domestic IgG Food Intolerance Test. The site was recommeded to me

from someone here or on the GFCFNN: http://www.yorkallergyusa.com/

Seems to me if I was going to do it, I would just want to do the whole deal

instead of messing around with only a few foods.
