Living and Coping With Food Allergies
Filed in archive Allergy Support Groups , Food Allergies , Living with Allergies on November 27, 2006
Finally, people are taking food allergies seriously. Time/CNN is running an article describing what we parents of children with food allergies go through. I hope this is an indication that food allergy is starting to get the attention and respect it deserves, and possibly some sympathy from others, too.
Torn between reasonable fear and hypochondria, safety and overprotection, parents struggle to raise their children with some semblance of normalcy-without driving themselves, their kids, their friends, and their communities crazy. Waiters roll their eyes when parents ask to view labels and school staff often resist accommodations. Parents whose kids dive into birthday cake with abandon and live on PB and J aren't necessarily sympathetic to what they call the peanut police. Even the most understanding moms aren't accustomed to the precautions involved in having an allergic child over for a playdate.

I posted the Time article on my site also. I thought it was excellent and I liked that it focused on the emotional aspect and not just the "what are food allergies". There's so much more to it than "my child can't eat that food". I hope that all aspect of food allergies become more newsworthy. It really is an issue for the community as a whole and not just the child with the allergy.

I, too, am deeply touched when I hear and see people who must put up with whatever kind of hand that God has dealt them. That is why I feel that I must reply to these articles concerning people's allergies. Even if they fall upon deaf ears... so be it! About 3 years ago, a technique was invented that allowed children and adults to be relieved of all allergy symptoms, permanently! I know that this sounds too good to be true... but it is. I, myself, have witnessed countless number of people who have walked through our door with allergies of all sorts coming in. From food to environmental to chemical to molds to dust... the list goes on and on. Even those suffering from anaphylactic reactions. That's right, let me repeat this, even those suffering from anaphylactic reactions have come through our door.
There is a way to deal with allergies and I must admit that I too, was once an unbeliever in any form of allergy symptom removal. There is a way to test for the allergies through applied kinesiology and there is a way to remove the allergy symptoms through a new technique called electro-acupuncture, which has no penetration of the skin. This technique has only been licenced for use over the last three years. It is a device that you put against the skin and various acupuncture points located throughout the body. Results are guaranteed and 80% of the clients have their allergy symptoms removed on their first visit, permanently! I strongly encourage you to visit our website at www.nosugarplease.com for further information.
