IMMUNE POWER DIET: FOOD SENSITIVITIES AND YOUR HEALTH

I've explained what hidden food sensitivities do to your cells, which means that every one of your immune cells that self-destructs from a food sensitivity is one less immune soldier fighting for your health.

The food you savor at lunch may have damaged or killed tens or even hundreds of thousands of immune cells by midafternoon, resulting in less vigilant immune surveillance, a slower immune response, and a less aggressive immune attack. Of course, your immune defenses keep an ample reserve. Obviously, no single meal can do so much damage that you would suddenly be left vulnerable to flu. Often, the effects of hidden food sensitivities aren't even immediately obvious, but they do take an insidious toll.

They do their damage subtly, sapping your strength and vitality. The immune-weakened person grows slowly more sluggish, starts losing vitality, energy, and sexual drive, and the aging process is accelerated, resulting in premature wrinkles and skin problems.

Hidden food sensitivities are also associated with a tremendous range of physical symptoms. I have treated patients suffering from chronic arthritis, fatigue, debilitating headaches, ulcers, skin, and nerve problems. Food sensitivities are known to cause heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting, asthma, dizziness, ear and throat infections, glandular imbalances, muscle aches and pains, rashes, swelling of feet and hands, and abdominal cramps. Because the immune system is so far-reaching, every organ system is touched by the immune imbalances that food sensitivities cause.
