Supplementation is a process

Supplementation is a process.  You have to know what your "needs" are before you decide what to take.  Some physicians depend on blood work to determine deficiencies.  In my opinion (and others), by the time a deficiency shows up in blood work the problems created are well advanced.  For example, most cases of arthritis are diagnosed after damage is done to the joints of the body.  If there were a way to determine that there is inflammation in the body that could lead to arthritis before the damage is done, would that be better?

Today, PART ONE of "THE PROCESS".

Determine your core food allergens.

This can be a simple process that you can do at home at no cost to you (no charge).    The majority of food allergies are delayed sensitivity reactions.  The most accurate way for you to determine the delayed sensitivity reaction is to eliminate the foods.

To do this, eliminate the suspected food intolerance completely from your diet for 2 weeks (I will suggest foods to consider).  After two weeks reintroduce one food item at a time and watch for reactions over the next 4 days. (I will cover what to look for).  Do this for each food item you suspect.  Your core food allergen/intolerance complicates the healing process by increasing the overall body inflammation.

The main food allergens are wheat (gluten), corn (zein), dairy (casein), soy, chocolate, peanuts, eggs, tomatoes and beef.  Start now to eliminate these items from your diet for two weeks.

Next week:  What to eliminate and what to expect.
