Stone Age Diet

Natural Allergy Cures


The "Stone Age diet" is another potentially useful diet plan for allergy sufferers. The theory behind this diet is that our bodies are not genetically adapted to the synthetic, processed foods that constitute much of our modern eating practices. Therefore, we are unable to digest many foods properly and they become allergenic as our body tries to defend against them.

According to Dr. Hoffer, due to the slow course of evolution, our digestive apparatus has remained the same for 10,000 years. Thus, we are best suited for the foods prevalent during the Paleolithic era - meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and a few seeds. "You ate different foods in the spring, summer, fall, and winter and never had too much. You also did not load up on any one item," says Dr. Hoffer. However, modern agriculture and processing advances now allow us to eat an abundance of the same foods, especially grains, everyday of the year. "Today, you may find 100 cereals in the supermarket, but they're all made from corn, wheat, rice, sugar, and artificial color," explains Dr. Hoffer. "If you overload the gut with one particular item, for instance bread three times a day, then eventually the body breaks down." Malnourishment and a leaky gut are elements of this breakdown.

Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., of London, England, speculates that the change away from a caveman-type diet over the centuries is associated with the increase in allergies worldwide. Lending weight to this theory is the fact that it is precisely those foods our cave-dwelling ancestors did not eat - cereal grains, dairy products, and modern processed foods - that most frequently provoke allergic reactions.

The Stone Age diet requires eating only seasonal produce as well as protein foods, such as meat, fish, and seeds, and few grains and processed foods. No food chemicals or additives are allowed. Dr. Chaitow reports that patients following the Stone Age diet report impressive results. "In the majority of cases, most allergy problems vanish after a few weeks of eating this way. And with many patients, a gradual reintroduction of the offending foods is possible on a rotating basis."
