What to do when you are allergic to too many things
Dr Harry Hong
March 10, 2009, 7 pm
Many holistic practitioners fix the food allergy by telling patients to avoid certain foods. The end result is after a while, patients are left with little choices of food to eat. In our practice, we treat food allergy through several different approaches so that not only the food allergies are addressed, but the underlying causes of leaky gut is also treated. This way, they can go back to normal eating habits. In the beginning, we use digestive enzymes and allergy tapping to clear the food allergies. But the majority of the work lies in the gut regenerating, immune strengthening, Candida controlling and emotional support (natural) remedies we give to people thru precise Electro-dermal testing. These remedies helps the body to repair leaky gut and reduce the stress of emotions have on the pituitary gland, which produce more growth hormones for better regeneration. We also coach patients to set up routine meal times, sleep more and take steps to reduce stresses in their lives. Thus our patients usually do very well in the long run, without having to worry about their allergies coming back.
