Dealing with a Dog Food Allergy?
Just as humans allergies can show up as a sneeze or rash, your dog's allergies can manifest as itchiness -- or even ear infections. In fact, if your dog's allergic to his food, it can cause him to scratch himself constantly, even with no obvious parasite problem. Dog allergies rarely get solved with medicine, so the best we can do for our four-footed friends is focus on prevention. Providing the right type of food is essential to stopping your dog's scratching habit. Many people like to share their food with their dogs or let them help "clean up" the kitchen after a meal. Little do they know, their dogs just may not be able to take the tasty food we love so much, and some breeds (like the greyhound...
Food Allergy Ingredients Labels
For the forty some odd years that I've been roaming the earth in search of food and other stuff to eat. I usually thought, if the packaging looked good, the food inside must be good. Sometimes if tasted good, and most of the time it was bad for me for one reason or another. In the last several years, I was cautioned to pay attention to my blood pressure, so I search for the sodium content in the foods that I eat, and that was that. I really never read what else was in the food that I was about to devour. Again, it looks good, it must be good. Now that my son has been screened to be sensitive to Gluten, Dairy, Egg, and Nuts, I read each label scanning for the allergies that will harm my son. Probably...

Allergy and Mental Diseases
The following may come as a surprise to most people, including most medical doctors. Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies! This fact was illuminated for me by Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80's. He appeared on the Phil Donahue show, and had videos of persons with mental problems caused or worsened by allergen testing. He was the first to name such as "brain allergies". In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando. We amazed several MD allergists in that clinic with depression and many other cases being solved. During that time, I studied allergy/sensitivity...
Do You Have Leaky Gut Syndrome? A Disease With A Disguise
How to know that do you have leaky gut syndrome? Leaky Gut Syndrome or LGS, as we commonly call it, is an extremely common problem but is rarely tested for. It happens when the cell wall of the intestinal lining becomes too thin, causing bacteria, partially digested foods as well as toxins to enter the blood stream as they pass through the intestinal wall. When the intestinal lining gets damaged because of LGS, the damaged cells, which are called microvilli, are not able to manufacture the enzymes that are important for digestion. If you have LGS, your digestion is hindered, and your body cannot absorb valuable vitamins and minerals. This in turn leads to swelling, and other kinds of reactions that...

Our Stressed Out Liver The liver, which is already strained from processing the daily metabolic wastes created by cellular activity, becomes overburdened with this added responsibility. Unable to manage the tremendous toxic load, the unprocessed toxins get re-circulated back to the bloodstream, causing further build up of toxins over time which results in even more damage. When the body cannot get...
