Jill-organic food and allergies
Michelle Bennett
Jill,
Yes, we know that organic is pesticide free, hormone free, antibiotic free,
and naturally grown. However this does make a tremendous difference in
children when you are fighting to prevent other allergies. The chemicals in
our foods and environment attach to the IGA and IGE in your body (the
antibodies that fight the allergens) and then together begin an attack on
other substances consumed. I can't put it into precise words, but the
chemicals are obviously VERY BAD and cause our bodies to respond differently
to highly allergenic foods. Remember when we were kids and there were not
that many people with food allergies? And with only a few allergies at a
time for the most part? Do you notice the difference with our children?
There are tons more highly allergenic children now as compared to even 25
years ago. Hmm, I think it has to do a lot with the chemicals consumed!
The chemicals are much harder on a little child's body than on an
adult...not to say it's good for adults! Yes, we do homeopathy,
chiropractor, nutritionist, and I read, read, read!!! Currently avoidance of
the allergenic foods, supplements, flax seed meal, vitamin E and C and
organic foods has helped us tremendously. Both boys have not added any more
allergies to their list! Yay! I can relate to your husband's asthma...it
runs rampid throughout our family and this is what I am fighting to keep my
sons from getting. I have read a lot about the "asthma march" that starts
with simple food or environment allergies and then turns into asthma. Sorry
to ramble, just thought you'd like to know the organic scoop!
