NO CURE FOR FOOD INTOLERANCE?

I am amazed at how many products there are on the market that are touted to relieve a person from having to avoid their personal food intolerances...not to mention how many methods are purported to identify them.

The connection between consuming foods a person is intolerant to and getting sick is actually pretty simple, albeit the medical explanation of what occurs in the body may be rather complex:

Simply, we are born with food intolerances! It is part of our genetic makeup - our DNA. Our bodies literally do not have the capability of creating the proper environment, such as producing the proper enzymes required, to digest a particular category of food. We have been asked at Song of Health.com if it is possible to take the required enzymes for digesting a particular food group, such as dairy. The answer is, unfortunately, no! The digestive enzyme for dairy is derived from dairy. To take the enzyme, then, would be to ingest the food intolerance.


As consumers and web-surfers, we are constantly bombarded with promises from umpteen companies that their product is the answer to relieving us of the inconvenience of having to avoid our food intolerances. This is simply not so! Granted, there are supplements that can help to temporarily relieve symptoms. The problem with relieving symptoms, however, while continuing to ingest the food intolerance is that cause for distress to the body is not eliminated. Just because the symptoms are masked - such as indigestion, bloating, headache, nausea, etc. – it doesn’t stop the body from reacting to the toxin violating it (the food it is intolerant to). The reaction then goes deeper into the system, and eventually a more severe situation is created. This is when the symptoms of a chronic problem become apparent – lupus, heart disease, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome and pretty much all other diseases known to humans (other than environmental poison).

Choosing to avoid our food intolerances in order to stay healthy is not a curse, nor is it so inconvenient and difficult that we can’t enjoy our lives, thoroughly and happily. It just takes knowing what to avoid and how to do that along with eating fresh, non-processed foods.

Song of Health.com furnishes all the informational tools needed in order to avoid eating food intolerances in a simple and easy manner. There are no gimmicks to maintaining well being and enjoying eating healthy for your own personal diet. With the right knowledge and support from others, it becomes a welcomed lifestyle.

The Importance of Identifying Food Intolerance

Are you faced with a health condition and your medical doctor has informed you that the only options

for treatment are drugs (to suppress the symptoms) or invasive surgery (to remove the affected

area)? If you have already gone this route, following treatment, do you still feel lousy?

You may be consuming foods you are intolerant to. You are genetically incapable of producing the

enzymes necessary for digesting them.

What occurs when you eat hash browns, for instance, and you are intolerant to potato? Because your

digestive system is not able to adequately process the food, it literally rots, fermenting and putrefying

in your gut. This causes the body to react to a substance that is toxic - poison. Acute symptoms may

be headache, stomach ache, bloating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue or other discomforts. Chronic

conditions occur when the body becomes so overloaded with toxins, caused from ingesting food

intolerance(s),that the immune system is no longer strong enough to maintain wellness. The result is dis-ease…fibromyalgia,cancer, lupus, muscular sclerosis, sclera derma, allergies - you name it.

Eliminating these toxins in the bodyis the first step to maintaining good health.

The Carroll Food Intolerance Evaluation method is the most reliable analysis we, at Song of Health.com,

havefound for determining a person's actual food intolerance. Depending on the condition of the patient,

sometimes merely removing these foods from the diet is all that is needed to return the patient to

wellness. Oftentimes, naturopathic treatment is required to help boost the body's natural immune

capabilities to heal. Constitutional hydrotherapy, in conjunction with natural medicines, is exceptionally

effective in helping to reverse the progress of the dis-ease and to begin the healing process.

At Song of Health learn how to find out what your food intolerances are and how to recognize them

as hidden ingredients in consumer products. You will also find comprehensive information, furnished

by renowned naturopathic physicians and experts, on alternative options for healing and maintaining

well being.
