Heal your food sensitivities

I

F YOU are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from food sensitivities, most likely you have been through a merry-go-round of confusing doctor’s visits and lab tests. Unfortunately, among traditional medical doctors, there are very few answers to the questions allergy and sensitivity sufferers face.

Food sensitivity reactions are often missed by standard blood tests or skin allergy testing. Common food sensitivity reactions include: Bloating, gas, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, eczema, acne, chronic coughing, insomnia, fatigue, weight loss or gain, blood sugar issues, headaches, acid reflux and more.

What Can Be Done?

Many alternative modalities and treatments have helped people living with food sensitivities for years. Chinese medicine, bio-energy testing, cell resonance therapy, and color and sound therapy all work on the same principle of reducing the allergy reaction within the body. However, with many of these therapies, food sensitivities are lessened but never go away completely.

New Ideas Like many of the problems humans

have faced over the centuries, after some time and intense thought, there comes a moment when new ideas surface and change the way we think about our current issues.

by dr. nikolai alenov II, dc, L.ac.

A small group of researchers in Georgia and South Carolina have shed some light on the issue of allergies and sensitivities. Their research indicates that most allergies start because of a “stress reaction association” issue.

In other words, your body associates a stress you are currently experiencing (physical, chemical, emotional, etc.) with a non-stressful substance. This substance could be anything in or around your body at the moment of the stress—dog hair, pollen, perfume, or the ice cream cone you just ate.

Sensitivies continued on page 6

Sensitivities from page 5

For example, you are walking down the street on a hot summer day eating a yummy ice cream cone. Just as you finish this delightful treat, a car swerves up onto the sidewalk missing you by two feet.

That would be considered a stressful event, resulting in a racing heartbeat, sweating and nausea. You are not hurt and after a few minutes, your heart rate returns to normal and you go on your way. However, at that moment of panic when you were thinking, “I am going to die and I haven’t even finished this ice cream cone,” your nervous system recorded an association between this near death situation and everything in and around your body.

Then, a week later, you are sitting outside enjoying some ice cream but your nervous

6 www.esswellness.com

system is wondering, “Should I be getting ready for an emergency? Last time I ate this stuff I almost died!” On comes the racing heartbeat, sweating and nausea, and on comes a dairy allergy.

What makes this theory more than just a theory is that it has lead to a new and innovative therapy for allergies and sensitivities. Using the idea of “stress association” as the cause of our allergies, researchers began looking for a way to find and erase the stress association locked into the nervous system.

Many of the tools necessary for this job had been around for decades.

By combining homeopathic “bioresonance” testing with induction laser technology, we have opened a new door for allergy and sensitivity healing everywhere.

In the past two years, since the inception of this discovery, a handful of doctors and

researchers have been treating patients willing to look outside the allergy protocol box. The reports from both doctors and patients have been very promising.

Patients who had yet to find relief from their symptoms are reporting improvements in their levels of allergy reactivity; some say their allergies are completely gone. We should all keep an open mind toward new avenues of healing and discovery. The next generation of health issues will require a new generation of healing methodology.

Dr. Nikolai Alenov II uses induction laser therapy actively in his clinic for allergy and sensitivity relief and is a regular lecturer on nutrition and wellness care. For more information on Dr. Alenov and allergies, visit www.alenov.com.

Your food cravings unlock the answers BY maggie christopher

M

ANY PEOPLE try to use willpower to improve their diet and lose weight.

Unfortunately, most people end up failing because it is very difficult to maintain a self-induced willpower over an extended period of time.

Consider a different approach instead.

Within your very cravings lie the keys to unlock true success for long-term health and weight loss. Trust and understand that the body is a brilliant machine that needs certain ingredients to run well. If you start to give your body what it needs, you will notice that your cravings will lesson considerably. For example, if you eat too much animal protein, you may start to notice sugar cravings. This is because your body wants to maintain a PH balance of 7.0 and it will continually try to adjust to reach this level.

yin and yang

The Chinese philosophy of yin and yang comes into play with cravings. Animal protein is very yang, so you may crave yin foods such as sugar if your body is out of balance. Another example would be if you regularly crave fatty foods like ice cream or fried foods, this could be your body letting you know that you need to introduce more healthy fats into your diet such as nuts and avocados.

Many people get frustrated and feel out of control with their cravings which can lead to negative thinking because they feel they are weak and have no willpower. This is not the case. The body is actually very logical.

You just need to know how to work together with it. It helps to simplify nutrition.

natural foods

The key is to get a healthy supply of vitamins and minerals from varied food sources because the body was made to extract nutrients from real food. So the more natural foods you put into your body (whole grains, greens, vegetables, fruit, beans, plantbased protein, naturally raised meats), the less cravings you will experience. Did you read this last sentence and say, “But I don’t LIKE any of these foods!” That’s ok. You can slowly introduce these foods and you will notice that your cravings lessen. Many people are overwhelmed with making changes to their diet. But remember, the reason you eat fast food, processed foods and desserts is because you have an intense craving. If you remove the nutritional reason behind the craving, you will find that you naturally opt for healthier foods. reducing cravings

In addition to learning how to give your body the nutrients it needs, there is another key component to understanding your cravings. Let me share an example.

If you have a terrible day at work, do you think you will arrive home and want to eat salmon, brown rice, and green beans?

I doubt it. You might instead mindlessly eat whatever you have available in the cupboards or refrigerator. So your emotional well being is tied to your cravings. There are four key areas to focus on when you

want to reduce your cravings. They are career, exercise, spirituality, and relationships. Think about it, if these areas in your life are not going well, you may find that you’re not eating healthy. If you want to be in a relationship and you are single, you may eat an entire sleeve of Girl Scout cookies to get some sweetness in your life.

If you hate your job, you may decide to stop off for happy hour instead of going home and eating a good meal.

The philosophy of yin and yang also applies to lifestyle. For example, if your day was too yang (too busy and stressful) you are likely to crave yin foods such as alcohol. health is a journey

Many people want overnight results when it comes to reaching their health goals, but unfortunately this approach rarely creates long-term, healthy habits.

Take it slow. Set small, achievable goals and continue to move forward. Health is not a destination; it’s a journey and a lifestyle.

Maggie Christopher is a certified holistic nutrition counselor in St. Paul. Her program allows individuals and couples to comfortably step into a healthier way of eating and living. Her program specializes in glutenfree, dairy-free, whole food recipes that are packed with flavor and nutrition! Call for a one-hour complimentary consultation to learn more.
