Just Because It’s Common, Doesn’t Make it Normal Series: Food sensitivities

Long story:

Antibodies (other than IgE) that are found in the serum to foods are a marker of an abnormal immune response to the food (the individual is allergic or hyper-sensitive) and/or there has been excessive absorption of food antigens through the intestinal mucusa/wall into the bloodstream and the body is clearing them as a foreign substance since the food did not enter the body through the normal digestive-lacteal-liver route in a processed fashion.

Sequence of an Autoimmune Process

You have healthy tissue cells that get engulfed by macrophages (natural process) and the necrotic tissue cells.

1. Necrotic tissue cells (shown above) overwhelm the reticuloendothlial system.
2. The dead cells, containing genetic material from the cell nucleus, leak into the bloodstream creating antigenic proteins, called autoantigens.

Requirements for Optimal Health

Wonder why your stomach is bloated hours after meals? You have a need for the correct hydrochloric acid (HCL) in the stomach environment and there is a pancreatic dysfunction.

What are the duties of the HCL? Hydrochloric acid is a barrier to parasites, keeps digestion moving, sterilizes food, absorbs minerals, and lowers stress on the immune system.

Remember, your stomach can only digest and process 4 cups of food per meal so if you eat more than that at one time, your stomach does not produce enough digestive enzymes to digest and process the rest.

The digestive system is a ‘north to south’ process. If there is a problem to the south (colon/large intestine), always look north (upper gastrointestinal tract).

Why Flu Shots don’t work

By LaShay Canady Leave a Comment

There are two main parts of the immune system: innate (99% – driven by nutrition and lifestyle, cellular, non-specific) and acquired (1% – includes highly-specific antibodies to foreign or body proteins; humoral, adaptive). For the most part, they work together but there is almost always a dominant form.

For viruses and cancer, the cell-mediated type (innate) dominates. For bacteria, antibodies (acquired) dominate. It makes no sense then with a viral infection to enhance the antibody levels (the 1%) or to expect cell-mediated boosters to put up an effective response against bacteria. THIS is why the flu shot and vaccinations don’t work – they are only enhancing the 1%. Useless! There are alternatives that WORK!
