My Childhood Allergies Were So Bad, My Parents Almost Put Me in a Bubble. Today I Function Normally and You Can Too, By Finding Balance and Peace With Food!Good nutrition is more than just rules!
Since becoming a doctor I have learned more about the nervous system and how it affected my immune system. As I have grown older, I can eat pretty much anything without rushing to the hospital and I can run outside without needing an inhaler to breathe. So, what's the key? Even though my food and environmental reactions seem like they've gone away, my troubles are not necessarily banished; symptoms of my allergies can return if I stop taking care of myself. What I have found that works is keeping my head on straight with upper cervical chiropractic care (nervous system clear), keeping my stress down by deep breathing, having a healthy gut (since that is where most of the immune system is located), and staying away from chemicals in the food and environment. Another thing to consider is the relationship between the brain and the gut. Did you know that brain functions of children could be influenced by a food that would develop hyperactivity or learning problems? Of course, not everything is due to an allergy, but I have had multiple cases of kids with ADHD get better once they did an elimination diet. You must identify, address, and then eliminate the allergens within your body. I had my first allergy testing when I was 11 because I was having so many asthma attacks. Once I had tested positive on all the skin tests they performed, the doctors concluded that I was allergic to basically everything in my environment. I also tested positive for some foods (shellfish was one). My parents had to get rid of the carpet in my room and put plastic on my bed—they were constantly running me back and forth to the hospital with asthma attacks. They almost wanted to put me in a bubble for protection. The worst asthma attack I can remember was when I was 13 years old. I had lasagna and a big bowl of ice cream at an Italian restaurant. About 15 minutes after eating, my lungs completely shut down; once again, my parents had to rush me to the ER. Ten years ago, I found out when I eliminated dairy from my diet, my breathing got better because I wasn't so congested. Then three years ago, I eliminated gluten from my diet due to finding out about my thyroid autoimmune disease, and my overall health improved. I also lost 60 pounds.
Food plays a role in many aspects of your life, from celebration to sorrow. The last thing you want is a long-term rigid list of rules about what to eat. Good nutrition is more than just rules! No matter the basis of your personal food decisions, finding balance and peace with food is key to a lifetime of good health and well-being. Information-based decisions are the most important aspects of a healthy diet, which is a diet that involves making choices that allow for flexibility rather than just following rigid dietary rules. In fact, strict dietary rules often lead to failure in the long run … and it's the long run that you must always be thinking about when it comes to your diet. Here is a useful thought that you can build upon based on your own experience and self-education: to have health like no one else, you must live like no one else.
