Every Child Deserves To Shine

Learn the signs - and find out what to do

As parents - we all want the best for our kids.

But food toxins are confusing and cause vague symptoms - which are difficult to link to foods: poor self-esteem, serial infections, skin problems, juvenile arthritis, headaches, migraines (yes, kids get migraines!), depression and lost learning opportunities.

We help you learn the signs, and know what to do.

MEMBER LETTER

'Just thought I’d give you some feedback from Caitlin’s paediatrician. The first thing he did was comment how well Caitlin was looking.  He was very receptive to the whole food intolerance concept . . . I told him all about your website and he was most enthusiastic and is going to have a good look at it.  He said to stick with the (diet) for Caitlin (I was going to any way) . . .

All in all it was a very positive visit.  Again, I can’t say how grateful I am to finally have some answers. I was worried sick about Caitlin before starting this regime.  She was so thin, pale and achy.  Now she had colour in her face and has put on 1kg in a week and a half.  Kindest regards  - Jane F.'

How to recognise Food Intolerance in children

Watch for common signs

• • Do your kids get tummy pains, headaches - or migraines?

• • Do they catch colds easily, get a barking cough or ear infections in the winter?

• • Do they easily lose concentration in school - or often feel tired?

• • Are they small or under-developed for their age?

• • Are there ongoing toilet problems like tummy aches, diarrhea, constipation?

• • Are they unco-ordinated or clumsy?

• • Do your daughters have difficult or heavy menstrual periods?

• • Are your kids self-conscious about flaky skin, eczema or psoriasis?

• • Is there a history of asthma?

• • Are there behavioural issues - or learning difficulties?

• • Do your kids sometimes seem withdrawn, blue or moody?

All these conditions are linked to the action of FOOD TOXINS.

Already had clinical tests for gluten, fructose or dairy?

Have your children had clinical testing: blood tests, breath tests, skin scratch samples or other procedures? Clinical testing for food intolerance can be inconclusive or downright misleading.

So please don't rule out food intolerance - just because a test didn't pick it up. Medicine is still catching up with advances in food toxin pathology. So traditional testing methods may no longer be relevant.

There are more than twenty food toxins . . . and they act together in various combinations to cause internal damage make us sick.

The Institute’s eighteen years of helping clients has shown - the most effective approach is to move to a LOW-TOXIN DIET.

We have found the best results come with moderation … that is - a diet which allows some favourites while greatly reducing the level of toxins in the blood . . . find out more at foodintol® LoTox Living

Lactose Intolerance: Prevalence, Symptoms, Treatment

Dairy Intolerance, Lactase Deficiency, Milk Intolerance

Lactose intolerance is defined as "the inability to digest the milk sugar lactose" - due to a deficiency of the enzyme lactase. We start out as infants being able to digest lactose. But by weaning ~ 2 years of age most people lose the ability, that is - we no longer produce the enzyme lactase. 

• • • • Lactose then becomes a food toxin: something which contributes to damage in the small intestine - fostering the development of disease.
      •  
      • Milk protein, casein also damages the small intestine, see casein allergy.

Prevalence of lactose intolerance worldwide is 75% - or three in four people. In certain ethnic groups it's even higher*: NIDDK states up to 90% of African Americans. Most sufferers are unaware - leaving them vulnerable to illnesses like malabsorption, autoimmune disorders and mental illness.

'Dear Deborah, My neurological issues have reduced significantly!  This is great, since it was the category that was giving me the most grief.  I have had two to four migraines with aura per month for the last two years.  I have now gone 31 straight days without one!  That's huge! . . . My skin issues have diminished significantly. My musculo-skeletal symptoms have decreased to almost nothing. Thanks, Bob Sawitski'

Less Common Sensitivities

Soy Allergy    Corn Allergy

Nightshade Sensitivity

Could you be reacting to FOOD TOXINS Nightshade Vegetables? If yes, why?

Because this group of foods is only recently introduced to our diet from South America. We have only been eating these foods since the seventeenth century, around four hundred years. . . We humans take many thousands of years to adapt to new foods - because it requires that we evolve new biological equipment. 

Nightshades contain food toxins

There is a group of vegetables which - if eaten frequently or in excess - are now known to cause Leaky Gut Syndrome in some people. Leaky Gut can lead to more serious medical conditions.

They contain actual FOOD TOXINS: alkaloids, lectins, phytates and saponins.

Which Ones Are Nightshade Vegetables?

The most commonly eaten nightshade vegetables are:   

• • Capsicum family (bell peppers, chili peppers, jalapeno, cayenne pepper etc.)

  • Eggplant (Aubergine)

  • Goji berry

  • Ground cherry

  • Potatoes - especially potato skins

  • Tamarillos

  • Tomatoes and concentrated tomato products

  • Tomatillos

How Do Nightshade Vegetables Cause Leaky Gut?

Depending on the quantity eaten, the effect of saponins in these foods can damage the gut lining and lead to disease.

Saponins in these foods have evolved to protect the plant from being decimated by insects. The action of the saponins it to dissolve the cell membranes of predatory insects so they die.   

Unfortunately this same effect - damage to cell membranes - can also be suffered by mammals (like us!) frequently in the small intestine. The result is a gut lining that develops holes and allows the passage of foreign - often toxic - substances into our bloodstream - making us ill . . . Leaky Gut.

In addition some of this group of vegetables (e.g. potatoes) also contain lectins which cause additional gut damage in large amounts in some people. Remember - the effects of nightshade vegetables depend on the quantity eaten. Overindulgence - as with any 'modern food' may lead to problems.

I think I might be sensitive to food toxins. What should I do?

Begin with our free ebook. Food toxins can cause serious long-term health problems.

And Gluten is just one thing that could be causing your symptoms. There are more than twenty FOOD TOXINS – and they act together in different combinations to damage cells and provoke the immune system. Learn more with Free ebook

What Causes Diarrhea?

Chronic diarrhea linked to food toxins

The World Health Organisation defines diarrhea as 'three or more loose bowel movements in 24 hours'. Diarrhea means semi-digested food is eliminated from the body too soon for nutrients to be absorbed - often because of missing enzymes or damaged intestinal cell structures. 

Chronic diarrhea is associated with dehydration, weight loss and malabsorptive disorders. Unfortunately diarrhea is usually 'medicated away' with over-the-counter preparations. We believe it is better to discover the cause.

Clinical studies now implicate FOOD TOXINS

Scientists confirm, FOOD TOXINS in common foods interrupt precious digestive processes and actually damage tissue - like the small intestine. We now know distressing diarrhea can often be healed by reducing food toxins - with a LOW-TOXIN DIET

Gluten Intolerance

Gluten intolerance: the inability to process food toxin Gluten

Gluten is probably the best known FOOD TOXIN.

Gluten intolerance is common - affecting up to 15% of people - or one in seven.

A small fraction of these people have diagnosed Celiac Disease. But symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed as other conditions. 

Gluten damages the small intestine - making us slowly sick. Symptoms usually have a delayed onset - 1-2 hours, or up to 2 or 3 days later - or even months later ... as with rheumatoid arthritis.

With Gluten Intolerance - the Gluten protein in wheat and other grains is 'foreign' in the human body - leading to a damaged intestine and subsequent adverse health issues.

Gluten gives delayed symptoms - so we miss the link.

Gluten Intolerance symptoms include:

• Gastro-intestinal symptoms: Stomach Bloating, nausea, Diarrhea, also Irritable bowel
• Lowered immune system: frequent infections - colds and 'flu, bacterial, Yeast infections, thrush
• Malabsorption symptoms: like low iron or anemia; low calcium or bone density loss
• Headache or Migraine symptoms: frequent headaches - or 'cluster' headaches
• Musculo-skeletal symptoms: back ache, Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Skin symptoms including Eczema, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, Psoriasis.
• Low energy symptoms: lethargy or Chronic Fatigue
• Depression symptoms or 'feeling the blues'
• Infertility, miscarriage- or diffculty conceiving

Frequently Asked Questions

Dermatitis Herpetiformis and other Associated Diseases

Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is another form of Gluten intolerance and affects the skin by forming lesions that are watery and itchy blisters. DH only presents when the patient has inherited the gene. In this case they may or may not have the intestinal symptoms as described above.

Other diseases associated with Gluten intolerance are Auto-immune Inflammatory diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thyroid disease, and cancers of the intestine. It is also a cause of Infertility, Miscarriage and other serious conditions.

In-depth Information About Gluten Intolerance

Why Does Gluten Cause These Symptoms?

These illnesses and medical conditions are caused by a protein in the grass grain - known as gluten - or more precisely - the protein breakdown fragments of gluten.

Gluten is a very big molecule - in fact it is one of the most complex proteins eaten by man. To be digested it needs to break down many times and many of us do not have the right biological equipment to achieve its full digestion. Our bodies were not 'designed' to digest grass grains like wheat.

• • The animals which have the perfect and ideal digestive systems for grass grains are birds
  • Yes, grazing animals like cows eat grass - but they have evolved four stomachs to do the job

Gluten is very difficult to digest

Some digestion begins in the mouth where the wheat product is chewed and munched and mixed with enzymes in the saliva. This physically breaks up the food before it is swallowed and enters the stomach.

The actual protein breakdown begins in the stomach. In gluten sensitive people (those who are unable to digest gluten) the effects can first be felt in the duodenum - the very first part of the intestine, right after the stomach. You might feel a "bloating" sensation happening right after a meal - located right under the ribs and above your waist.

But - as many people know too well - there are other symptoms still to come. The first split-up of the huge gluten protein produces two smaller types of protein - known as peptides:

• Gliadins
• Glutenins

Unfortunately - for people who are gluten intolerant - this is where all the problems begin. Gliadins and glutenins behave in quite different ways - but when working together can have devastating effects on the human body.

While the gliadins work to perforate the intestine and create chaos (like inflammation and disrupted processes) - glutenins get a free ride into the bloodstream via the damaged intestine - and initiate other mischief.

How Gluten Damages the Intestine

Two Protein Breakdown Products of Gluten:

1). Gliadins

One breakdown product of gluten - gliadins - can have a very damaging effect on the intestine. In fact, because of this, gluten is regarded by some as "the protein with teeth" - because this gliadin actually tears holes in the intestinal wall tissue.

Now this may not sound too bad. Everything heals pretty quickly, right? However the small intestine is where two vital functions take place - absorption and filtering.

• • ABSORPTION of food nutrients takes place in the small intestine. Food is converted into energy so we can live and breath and work. And we need the right mix of nutrients and water for every organ and system to operate properly. When absorption goes wrong - we miss out on nutrients and develop dehydration, mineral deficiencies or other conditions which can turn into chronic diseases like anaemia, colitis, arthritis or osteoporosis.

• • FILTERING (SCREENING) The small intestine also acts as a screening mechanism. It prevents unwanted things like bacteria, fungals and foreign proteins from entering our bloodstream. But when this filter gets holes in it - (with gluten damage you can actually see damaged tissue under a microscope) - all kinds of foreign particles  escape into the bloodstream and travel anywhere in the body: the joints, organs, skin and brain.

Of course the brilliant human body heals itself fairly quickly after one-off damage events. However - we usually eat grain-based foods several times a day: breakfast cereals, sandwiches, muffins, cookies, bowls of noodles and pasta. Therefore if you are gluten intolerant - your small intestine does not get the chance to heal. And years and years of such damage eventually leads to diagnosis of chronic disease.

 2). Glutenins

The other breakdown peptide of gluten is glutenin. This peptide is responsible for strengthening bread dough and allows loaves to remain raised and 'light' for eating. However glutenins are also associated with addictive symptoms: cravings, binge eating and addictive behaviour.

• • Can you now see why your small intestine is such a vital part of your body - and why intestinal health is so central to good health?

Gluten Sensitivity: Prevalence, Symptoms, Treatment

Definition of Gluten sensitivity: the inability to fully digest Gluten Protein

Gluten Sensitivity used to be defined as "the inability to digest Gluten protein" - found in wheat and other grains. 

However it is better understood as 'poisoning by gluten'. When we cannot digest something say gluten, it behaves like a poison in the body.

In sensitive individuals the semi-broken down protein damages the small intestine and triggers adverse health issues like inflammation,  malabsorption, infections and depression.

Celiac Disease

Also known as Coeliac disease, Celiac Sprue, Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy

Definition, Prevalence, Symptoms, Testing and Treatment

Celiac Disease is diagnosed when a biopsy of the small intestine reveals damage to the intestinal villi. The villi are flattened and cannot absorb nutrients.

Celiac Disease - a type of Gluten intolerance - is genetically inherited. Gluten proteins from grains like wheat and barley cannot be digested and release unrecognised peptides into the bloodstream. It is notoriously difficult to diagnose because it presents as any combination of dozens of symptoms ranging from chronic diarrhea to depression, anaemia, migraine and/or miscarriage.

What Causes Constipation?

Definition, Prevalence, Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Constipation is difficulty evacuating waste from the body - defined as fewer than three bowel movements per week. Many doctors now favour the simple cure of dietary changes which reduce food toxins, rather than medication or surgical intervention.

The Solution for Constipation

The answer is to reduce food toxins with a LOW TOXIN DIET. 

Learn more with the Free ebook about Food Toxins

Prevalence of Constipation

• One study puts the prevalence of constipation at 16% - with women a little more affected than men
• Around 50 million Americans are affected by frequent or chronic constipation
• In a Swedish study more than 2,000 people were surveyed about constipation with these results:

• • About 20% of all women considered themselves constipated
  • The use of laxatives increased with age
  • 22% and 10% of elderly women and men, respectively, used laxatives ... for at least every fourth toilet procedure.
• In another study of over 4,000 babies less than two years old it was found that between 3% and 10% suffered from constipation.

Changes in the intestinal function like constipation are now linked to food toxins - or food intolerance (references below). So reducing food toxins in the diet brings relief. 

Causes of Chronic Constipation

Lack of exercise and some medications are part of the problem. But most Constipation comes from eating foods which you cannot fully digest - (food toxins). 

When only partial digestion happens - strange 'foreign' toxins are produced. These interfere with normal bodily processes and can cause, among other effects, inflammation and damage to bodily tissues. When the muscle motility of the small intestine is affected food waste cannot move through the gut as quickly as usual. Too much water is removed from the waste making it hard and lumpy leading to constipation.

If you get frequent constipation a LOW TOXIN DIET may bring good relief.

Types of Treatment for Constipation

Temporary relief treatment: You can use medications or supplements from the pharmacy for temporary relief. Some people choose to use 'Fibre' preparations or probiotics thinking that will help. But some even contain ingredients which cause Constipation in the first place. Unfortunately - few people ever realise food toxins could be to blame for constipation - and unfortunately it is not given high priority in medical schools - so many doctors are unaware.

Permanent Cure: Find the actual cause of your constipation - learn how to reduce food toxins with a low toxin diet. It's easy!

Member letters

'Hi again, I have come to the end of the elimination diet and I have proved without a shadow of a doubt that I DO have a food intolerance.  I don't expect my doctor to believe me as she hasn't been very helpful at all, just keeps putting it down to IBS....also thank you so much for very nearly curing a tremendous problem that I have had for over 20 years. Linda'

__________________________________________________

'I have done the journal and found to my surprise that after 56 years of being constipated (going once a week/fortnight from a young child) - I am going every day. It's a miracle AND I have been suffering from insomnia (thought to be hormone related) for 7 or 8 years and am now sleeping every night like a log.  I am extremely happy and want to thank you for your help.  My daughter had done the program and suggested I try it.  I am very glad I did.... my life has been turned around.  Thanks - Lesley : )'

Consequences of Constipation if left untreated

If left untreated - Constipation can progress into quite serious disease. Of course - you can decide to do nothing - and keep taking medications. But you may develop any of the following in addition to the constipation:

• Headache, migraine
• Poor resistance to infection, mouth ulcers, candida (yeast infections), colds and 'flu
• Anal pain or spasms, haemorrhoids
• Tiredness, chronic fatigue, 'brain fog'
• Weight gain
• Depression, mood swings, cravings

Learn more with the Free ebook about Food Toxins

What is the cure for Constipation?

Simple - find the cause and remove it. Constipation doesn't need medications to be 'cured'. Research says it is usually the result of poisoning ... eating foods which contain toxins. 

• You will be 'cured' when you substitute those foods which contain the toxins -  A LOW TOXIN DIET. 
•  
• No drugs, treatments or surgical procedures are needed - just the right fresh foods 

As you know - food intolerance is in your genes - and you cannot change those. Just like having brown eyes or freckles - you got your genes from your parents, grandparents and other ancestors. And if you have children – you have already passed on that same genetic material.

'When I stopped eating those foods, my life changed, seemingly overnight.  I lost eight pounds in 6 weeks;  Since August, I have lost close to 15 lbs.  Not even trying--I certainly eat my share of corn on the cob, potatoes and rice! My cholesterol has plummeted as well, to 187, down from a high of 264. 

Now I realize just how much was due to food intolerance.  Now I'm digesting all food better, I have a craving for vegetables that is new for me, and I'm off all supplements. In general, I look and feel fantastic!  Better energy, no more bouts of daytime sleepiness, better concentration.  My clothes fit much better. My skin is smoother.  I sleep through the night better, and wake up refreshed, not groggy.  My exercise program just took a leap into the stratosphere after I started eating properly--it was as though I could "find" and feel my muscles in a way I couldn't before. 

And so, a great, big THANK YOU! from the bottom of my heart (and gut!).  I pass along your web site to everyone I know who is having food issues.  Keep up the good work!!! All the best, Diane, New York'

Soy Allergy (Sensitivity)

Soy Products Contain Food Toxins

There are a number of AntiNutrients - food toxins - found in soy and its derivatives:

• Lectins
• Phytates
• Phyto-estrogens
• Saponins

Each of these contibutes its own combination of symptoms. You could suffer some of them - or all of them.

If you suspect soy allergy . . .

Unless a strict elimination protocol is observed and carried out under clinical conditions - it is really difficult to pinpoint whether one particular food is causing your symptoms.

Scientists have confirmed there are more than twenty common food toxins ... and they work together in various combinations to make us sick.

We recommend reducing a number of food toxins - by moving to a LOW-TOXIN DIET. 

Learn more with the Free ebook about Food Toxins

Facts about soy sensitivity

At foodintol^® we provide information from the medical journals - which is peer-reviewed and published only after rigorous examination. The clinical evidence - including this study - about soy protein allergy is as follows:

1). Soy sensitivity is dose-dependent

Any responses depend on the amount of soy protein ingested. That is -  it depends on the dose.

This is in contrast to other allergies (e.g. peanut allergy)where even a tiny amount can cause severe reactions). That means - in general - we can have a much greater amount of soy protein before experiencing allergy symptoms.

2). Soy reactions are harder to spot than others

What we understand about the relative severity of reactions of soy compared to say, cow's milk:

• • Cow's milk protein has more allergenicity than soy protein.

 3). Symptoms of Soy Allergy

These are very similar to other large 'modern food' protein reactions - like those to gluten and casein. Therefore you may be confused as which one is causing yours. Symptoms include:

• • • Headache
    • Grogginess, impaired awareness
    • Stiff neck or other muscles
    • Back pain, body soreness
    • Diarrhea
    • Nausea
    • Tiredness

 4). Symptoms overlap with other intolerances

Depending on which symptoms you have - you may actually be confusing soy allergy with other food sensitivities like Gluten intolerance, or fructose sensitivity. Have a look in the Index of Symptoms before assuming soy sensitivity.

5). How to detect Soy Allergy

The best way to pinpoint soy allergy is to leave it out of your diet and monitor the results. We recommend the Journal Method. It's great to get actual proof - because then you know for life - and can avoid all those awful foggy days of headache and illness. Soy is now included in thousands of processed foods and can be difficult to avoid without assistance.

Why Do We Get Food Intolerance?

Why 'Modern Foods' cause problems

With food intolerance - so-called modern foods are the most likely culprits - becasue they contain food toxins. These were not available to our prehistoric (caveman) ancestors: grass grains, milk products, plant proteins, nightshade vegetables, pulses and excess nuts, salt and sugars.

Most notably ... chronic and communicable diseases were unknown amongst Paleolithic humans.

Our digestive system is two million years old

Humans have survived well on this planet for more than two and a half million years. In fact - we are a very successful species!

We are all descended from these early Paleolithic (Stone Age) humans - and carry virtually identical genetic material, which is more than 2,500,000 (two and a half million years) old. That's two and a half thousand millennia!

We twenty first century humans have genes and digestive systems that are identical to those of early humans . . . but we don’t eat the same foods they did.

And that's why the trouble begins.

The Hunter-Gatherer Diet

So - what foods did prehistoric humans eat?

The only foods available to Paleolithic humans were those they could hunt for - and gather:

• • Shellfish and crustacea
  • Bird and reptile eggs
  • Green leafy vegetables
  • Seeds
  • A few fruits and berries
  • A few nuts
  • Water

• Note what's missing:

  • grass grains wheat,corn, rice. barley

  • milk products

  • nightshades
  • legumes, pulses

  • refined sugars in excess

  • excess salt

  • food additives

The advent of 'modern foods' . . . food toxins 

So-called 'modern foods' did not appear until humans learned about farming. Around 10,000 years ago (very recently!) - our Neolithic (New Stone Age) ancestors started:

• Corralling and breeding animals - instead of killing them for food. This gave them a supply of fresh meat - and later milk.

• Planting seeds - and learning about the seasons to optimise the growth of vegetable, grain and fruit crops.

These two changes meant Stone Age people no longer had to be nomadic - moving about the country in search of food. Because they now had a more reliable source of continuous food - they could create communities and share resources. The Hunter-gatherers settled down into farming communities.

What they did not notice was the gradual appearance of chronic diseases: arthritis, cancers, kidney disease - and infectious diseases that could be passed on to others. Archaeologists now attribute this debut of disease to the new foods. 

The twenty first century diet

The twenty first century Western diet is very different from the Paleolithic Hunter-gatherer. A huge proportion of our calories now come from grains and dairy products - unlike Paleolithic diets.

Therefore:

• When we eat 'Modern Foods' like bread, cereals and pasta (grains) - and cheese and yogurt (dairy) and confectionery and  soft drinks (sugars) ... we are putting them into digestive systems that are not designed to process them. . . No wonder we get sick!

What do horses eat?. . . and why?

Question: What would you feed a horse?

Answer: Grass and grass seeds like chaff and oats. . .why?

What would happen if we ground up fillet steak and put it in the horse’s feed?

The horse would become ill. Why? We all understand that a horse’s digestive system cannot process meat. We know that. It's exactly the argument for humans . . . we too have an optimum diet. It’s the diet our Hunter-gatherer ancestors ate: meat, fish, vegetables, fruits and water. So now it's easier to understand why:

• • When we eat high toxin modern foods - many of us become ill. Because it is the wrong fuel for our bodies.
  • It's a bit like trying to run an old vintage car on aviation fuel. . . lots of coughing, spluttering, stalling and engine clogging!

When 'modern foods' appeared - chronic disease appeared

Fossil evidence tells us that the tall, slender Palaeolithic or pre-agricultural humans (before farming) showed no signs of modern diseases like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis or obesity

But later fossils from the Neolithic period (the earliest farmers) clearly showed signs of disease appearing: osteoporosis, tooth decay - and they were shorter in stature than their tall forebears

Evidently the appearance of these modern foods set off a string of 'incurable' diseases with which we are still struggling today (References below ⁱ,ⁱⁱ). In general - most human digestive systems are not suited for digestion of modern foods.

How do we know this? Because more than 75% of all people have some type of sensitivity to food toxinsⁱⁱⁱ :

• • Up to 90% of Asian American adults and 70% of African American adults have dairy intolerance – even without considering other food intolerances 

Depending on your cultural heritage - your whole digestive system may be unsuited for digesting 'modern foods'.

I think I might have food intolerance: What should I do?

Begin with our free ebook. Food toxins can cause serious long-term health problems. Gluten is just one toxin that could be causing your symptoms. There are more than twenty common FOOD TOXINS – and they act together in different combinations to damage cells and provoke the immune system.

Less Common Food Sensitivities: Soy, Corn, Nightshades etc.

Unexpected food toxins

There are food toxins in some categories of foods - apart from gluten grains and milk products. Ironically - some of these are offered as 'gluten-free alternatives' in health food shops. But beware - they can cause just as many diffcult symptoms as gluten, fructose or dairy.

So if you still have symptoms despite checking out the main four - look at any of these:

• • Food allergies (nuts, eggs, shellfish, crustacea etc.)

• • Corn (maize) allergy

• • 'Alternative' grains like millet, quinoa, amaranth

• • Legumes like beans, chick peas, lentils Soy and soy bean products and others

• • Sorbitol and Polyols and alternative sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin

• • Nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum, peppers, chilli and others)

• • Food additives (artificial preservatives, flavour enhancers, colours etc.)

• • Latex foods: cross-reactions with banana, avocado, chestnut and others

• • Salicylates: found in some medications like aspirin and in tiny amounts in plants

• • So-called “Super Foods” like Chia, Goji berries and acai etc.

Adjusted your diet - but still have symptoms?

If you are already following a special diet (perhaps prescribed by a naturopath) - but you are still suffering symptoms, there are three possible explanations:

• • • You are still accidentally eating what you are trying to avoid . . . or

• • • You have guessed the wrong intolerance or are misdiagnosed . . . or

• • • You have an additional food intolerance - as yet undiagnosed

In any of the above cases we can help you find answers ...

I am ready for an immediate solution - what's next?

Learn About Food Allergies & Food Intolerance

Many people suffer from chronic symptoms like anaemia, diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, itchy flaking skin, tinea, headaches and nutrient deficiencies. But few realise these are the work of FOOD TOXINS roaming in the body.

Food Allergy or Food Intolerance?

• • Food Allergy generally gives sudden onset symptoms

• • Food intolerance symptoms can appear up to 24 - 48 hours later

See the Difference between food allergy and food intolerance   

CASE STUDY: Michelle's Story

Michelle was a 30-something audiologist and had been tired and pale for years, and forever embarrassed by abdominal bloating, flatulence and diarrhea. Then she decided to do something about it. She researched her symptoms on the net and learned about FOOD TOXINS.

She began eating differently and within 2 weeks felt much better. Now six months later she has loads of energy, loves life and has begun her own business consulting to call centres.

(Michelle shared her story with us after moving to a reduced toxin diet. More letters)

Are you really aware of what you're eating?

How often do we expect a doctor to 'fix' us with a pill? It may be worth a moment to stop and consider what we are putting in our mouths apart from pills.

Could you write down easily ALL of what you ate in the last week? What about in the last month? The truth is many of us eat without thinking. And we may have little idea exactly what we are eating.

We eat meals, we snack, we drink, we chew, we swallow vitamins. We devour chocolate cake and coffee and steak and processed foods. We treat ourselves to buttered popcorn* at the cinema, along with sweets, ice creams and large soft drinks.

Some of us spend considerable effort to monitor the fat content of food, or cholesterol, or we count calories. But did you ever stop and think that the food you choose could actually be making you sick?

Food Intolerance is much more common than you might think.

• • Food Allergies are usually rather easy to spot because of the immediate and dramatic reactions.
  • Food Intolerance - on the other hand gives delayed reactions (1 - 2 days later) and is therefore widely misdiagnosed

People who believe they might be food intolerant find out by different methods. The quickest and most accurate way is to use a Journal.

The Motor Car Analogy

If you react badly to food toxins - you are giving yourself the wrong fuel.

An Analogy: Stories from World War II told of desperate people who ran their cars on alcoholic spirits like whisky to get across the German border - these being in more plentiful supply than petrol.

If you put leaded petrol (or ethanol or toluene or in some cases even cooking oil) in a car it will still go. The car may not go very well, but it will go. It may cough and splutter and run inefficiently and produce terrible toxic gases, but it will still operate.

However, over time, using these inappropriate fuels will cause a raft of systemic problems triggering flow-on problems in adjoining systems: Blockages from foreign residues will clog the fuel line. Combustion of inappropriate fuel will cause dirty spark plugs. The car stalls a lot and more use of the ignition system puts extra strain on the starter motor, fan belts and battery. And so on.

Soon the car is all choked up and just won't go.

It may be simplistic but the Motor Car Analogy is useful for understanding food intolerance. If we had used the correct fuel in the first place we would not have all the systemic damage.

Your Body is a Collection of Systems

The Human body is an amazing system - in fact it is a finely tuned system of hundreds of other systems. And changing a part of one system affects others around it. If we use inappropriate food to fuel our bodies we will suffer similar consequences to the car. Our bodies still operate. We can still walk and think and work and have our busy lives.

But over time we do damage to our systems: our digestive tract, our skin and hair, our respiratory system, our blood, even our immune system. Consider the digestive system (gut) of a healthy person. When food passes through the stomach and intestine it moves through various stages of digestion that separate out the nutrients for absorption into the bloodstream. Solid waste products are then gradually dehydrated for elimination.

In healthy people the digestion of food is almost completely unfelt. It just goes on in the background and we hardly ever think about it. However digestion is an extremely complex symphony of co-operation of many of the body's organs according to a set plan and schedule.

Food toxins upset the delicate balance of digestion

Food toxins damage the small intestine. When the gut is unable to process food in the available time - we get problems which are gastro-intestinal - commonly nausea, diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, constipation, or a combination of these known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS.

Sometimes food is moved along too fast - before it has been processed properly and still very liquid - and is lost from the body before we have absorbed any nutrients. Other times it doesn't move along fast enough and spends too long in the dehydration chamber (the colon or large intestine). This causes difficulty in elimination - constipation. In addition abnormal fermentation of food in the gut causes production of excessive gases.

If these symptoms are experienced on a long term or chronic basis, there can be consequent symptoms: haemorrhoids, anal inflammation, weight loss, dehydration, and poor absorption of vital nutrients like iron, calcium or trace elements - leading to deficiencies.

These can then lead to further problems in other parts of the body - dry flaking or itchy skin, respiratory difficulties and general problems like lethargy, headache and even an inability to concentrate. Indeed for those who are extremely sensitive, one dose of a FOOD TOXIN can send the body into a domino effect or chain reaction of multiple symptoms.

What Causes Jock Itch?

Jock Itch: Prevalence, Symptoms and Treatment

Jock itch, groin itch or fungal (Yeast) rash and tinea infections can be distressing and embarrassing. Recurring or continuous yeast infections indicate a compromised immune system - as in poisoning via food toxins. 

For a solution - reduce the amount of food toxins in the body using a LOW TOXIN DIET.

Facts About Jock Itch and Fungal Infections

Prevalence of Jock Itch

Fungal infections like Jock Itch are common:

• Up to one in three (33%) of people have a fungal infection
• Fungal infections can appear as:
  • Jock Itch
  • Tinea
  • Ringworm
  • Thrush (Candida).

 Fungal infections are common in men, women and even in babies.

Symptoms of Jock Itch

Symptoms are:

• Red itchy skin patches - particularly in skin folds on or around the genitalia
• Size of red patches may increase within a few hours
• Itchiness can lead to scratching which can break the skin and invite further infection

If left untreated the raised red patches may develop pustules making further infection a real possibility. Consult your doctor - who will know whether you need an anti-biotic.

Treatment of Jock Itch

If we can find out the cause of the Jock Itch - and remove it - the Jock itch will heal naturally. Also - it will never come back.

Most often - the cause of Jock Itch is a reaction to commonly ingested FOOD TOXINS.

This situation usually often arises when there is too much sweet or savoury starchy food in the diet (a high toxin diet) - as is frequently the case with modern Western diet: bread, pasta, cereals, pizza, cookies, cake, pie, donuts and more.

The obvious way to be rid of jock itch is to reduce food toxins in the diet.

More about Jock Itch

The jock itch known as candida albicans is common, and is generally suffered when the body's defences are down - as with the presence of food toxins. Long-term untreated food intolerance puts undue stress on your body - leaving you vulnerable to infection (like candida) from a depressed immune system.

Jock itch is obviously a male term and refers to the rash and accompanying itching associated with candida in the groin area of men.

What Causes Hives on my Skin?

The appearance of hives is often an allergic response to food toxins

Hives is usually a sudden onset reaction - frequently after eating certain foods. Such food sensitivity is when your immune system reacts badly to certain proteins - and it triggers inflammation anywhere in the body. If it happens at the dermis - the result is itchy skin and rashes - either as eczema or psoriasis or in some cases - hives.
