Food Intolerances & how Applied Kinesiology can relieve allergies…
What is a food intolerance or an allergy?
When we use the term allergy, it can be used to describe the reaction which is produced by the body when it encounters something foreign, or something it does not like. For an allergic reaction to occur, the body must respond by producing antibodies and it can also release chemicals called histamines, these histamines trigger an inflammatory response, which is otherwise known as an allergic reaction. Common allergens include certain drugs, dusts, moulds, insect bites, plants and foods.
When a food allergy is present it involves the immune system, the response is often pretty immediate. Typical symptoms can include: coughing, sneezing, vomiting, watering eyes, migraines, swelling tissue, hives and rashes. In severe cases it can cause anaphylactic shock which needs to be treated urgently and will require emergency intervention. With symptoms which involve the digestive system, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, the response can be delayed for hours or even days which can often make it harder for people to link to a specific allergen.
Food intolerances tends to have a slow onset (hours, days or even weeks). Usually they are caused when a person is unable to break down and digest a particular food, which is often the result of having a lack of appropriate enzymes. Occasionally, protein fragments rupture the lining of the intestines which allows foreign particles into the bloodstream.
How Can Applied Kinesiology Relieve Allergies?
Once an allergen has been identified, I can help work to correct the energetic imbalance in the body (which may be causing the allergy), In doing so this can also help to:
Restore postural balance, gait impairment and range of motion
Return the endocrine/immune/digestive/other internal organ functions back to their normal way of functioning
Reinstate your normal nerve function
“Early intervention in degenerative processes can prevent or delay allergies from developing or worsening!”
