Everyone is told to avoid the common environmental contaminants such as pet dander, dust mites and cigarette smoke, but this items are merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to managing these conditions naturally. This study linked animal foods as contributors to the patients’ symptoms. Interestingly, fatty fish was also a contributor. It would be interesting to see the type of fish; cold water fish are generally less likely to have heavy metals and parasites when compared to their fresh and farm raised cousins.

There’s a doctor in the area that I know is using sublingual therapy and has been for decades and almost always gets excellent results. While this article appears unsure of the mechanism by which this works, I believe that oral tolerance is involved. Give a patient with a sensitivity to some substance a small amount of that substacne and the GI tract will sample this small amount and send a signal out to the rest of the body not to worry because there are no “invaders” here.
