Raw food and oral allergy syndrome

[Monica]

It's an energy based treatment aimed at eliminating allergies by removing energy blocks(with the permission of the higher self), certainly sounds very interesting although my allergies are not bad I'm interested enough in the treatment to do some research into it
The treatment has been around for many years has anyone here herd of it or had any experience of it?

I've heard of it. A chiropractor/naturopath in my area utilizes the technique and claims to get good results with his patients. But I don't have any experience with it.

The other day I had used strawberries as an analogy for something I was trying to explain.

After looking at the concept I used I had found something I was not aware of.

Peanuts do not freeze in winter. The freeze tolerance gene was isolated and added to strawberries. What we are not told is that folks allergic to peanuts now have the same allergy to strawberries.

GMO is really a dnagerous plaything.

I'd already cut gluten out for a while as Pickle suggested it via a PM.

I'm a newcomer to the whole gluten thing, but this interview from a couple of weeks ago blew my mental barn doors open.

I thought I had a decent grasp on nutrition etc, but this was revelatory.

the book is called "Wheat Belly" and the author is one of those converted mainstream folks that convert because the evidence before their eyes is just too overwhelming. Former heart surgeon.

^^Plenum, I do not understand why in Wheat Belly ( I only read enough to find this) the author completely slags wheat even though he seems to realize that it has been completely altered over time.

Some very important notes about wheat;
Here is a very well researched article about wheat and the form in which it is processed and eaten in comparison to what is available in it, and the changes in production that have occurred over time;

Here is an article about the different qualities associated with different wheat varieties;

Here is a nutritional comparison of different wheats, though I don't know how these products were processed;

wikipedia article on Einkorn, the oldest known variety of wheat. Apparently celiacers seem okay maybe;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einkorn_whe...17060124-4

There's an article I lost track of that explains the process of hybridization which we have selectively controlled in wheats that are most commonly used today. Maybe it's in one of these, I didn't feel like reading the whole things again.
In my opinion the celiac disease is actually from a compounding causation;
-The nutritional ratios are WAY off par, including fibre(not enough) and starch(way too high) either because it is a new variation or from processing.
-the gliaden/glutinen ratio has changed dramatically from heritage seed meaning our bodies have much trouble properly breaking down this substance (which may actually be important, we have been thriving off bread and other grains since ancient peoples on every continent.
Wheat is the only type of seed that monsanto has not been able to make a "round-up ready" crop out of, meaning that the herba/pestacide being sprayed on them are likely actually damaging them (I have no evidence to support this) The wiki on monsanto holds some interesting tidbits, gotta love wikipedia.. Not only is it possible that we we ingest these toxins through bioaccumulation, but they also prevent plants from growing valuable substances for our health that repel insects naturally such as anit-oxidants.
Also let's remember insects need food too, are a part of the food chain and we actually probably benefit from the bacteria on their s***.

I am currently on a gluten free diet which has helped much alleviate any stomach pains I had, but still does not seem right. I plan to take a try at this Einkorn soon.

There are other things to report as well;
-corn and soy are the most modified and most highly commercialized cash crop within the US boarders (they have other countries grow tobacco and cane sugar, and coka, coffee and opium). Corn and soy are able to absorb immense concentrations of herba/pestacides. Celiac sufferers are basically dropped into a world full of these product in the supermarket.
-eggs, dairy, and most meats eaten in our world today contain preservatives, added hormones, and/or synthetic vitamins.
remember Ra warns Carla about the ingestion of meats with preservatives, and this was ~30 years ago, I can image what they'd have to say now lol.
-farm raised fish; This deserves it's own topic altogether, and this topic hits close to home. Soon.
