The Truth Behind Allergies

What do most people do when they suspect their child has allergies? "Take the kid to the doctor and consult whatever 15 year old they made a Resident that week, who after a five minute interview declares the child has "allergies" which are due to a genetic deficiency of Benadryl, or other drugs. And in one fell swoop the patient is now categorized as having allergies and put on a regiment of drugs that will last for years. Not a word about the box of frosted flakes and the 4 doughnuts the kid has for breakfast or the 4 cokes he has at school throughout the day or the carton of ice cream he needs for his midnight snack---no. None of that is taken into the equation. No, this is all genetic. It's not his fault."- Dr. T. O'Shea

Maybe a bit harsh but if you take a quick look around your cupboards, grocery store carts or your child's school cafeteria it will seem a bit more realistic!

Here is a link to an article written by Dr. Tim O'Shea, one of the most respected experts on nutrition and its surrounding issues. While I would normally shorten it I think it is most relevant and helpful if you take the time to read it in its entirety. Great info- careful, it might just change your perspective!
