General Allergy Advice

I need to stress this particular point that allergy begets allergy and this is the 'Allergic March', meaning that the allergy can become worse, other allergies may appear or you may become allergic to new substances.


I recently consulted a young 3-year-old girl who was having yeast allergy and did fantastically well with treatment. However, the allergy returned when her mum gave her some sour plum to eat.


SOUR PLUM??

For a 3-year-old??


Oh well.


My general advice for allergy would be:

  • to avoid at all cost the food you or your child is allergic to
  • not to introduce any other foodstuff which does not add any value to the child or your health such as junk food, flavored drinks and food and processed foods (these have preservatives, coloring and binding substances that should be avoided)
  • to consume good fresh food, fruits and vegetables
  • to avoid using complex soaps, shampoos, toothpastes and supplements (they are not unnecessary unless detected that they are short of them - to be discussed later)

For Allergic Persons, Simple Is Good


… and my learning continues.
