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."

Using Garlic & Goldenseal Against Allergies

Natural Allergy Cures


Garlic (Allium Sativum)


One of the least expensive yet most effective ways to deal with parasites is to use an extract of garlic. Raw garlic and garlic extract have been shown to destroy common intestinal parasites, including roundworms and hookworms. According to Chinese research, in the treatment of 100 cases of amoebic dysentery, the cure rate with garlic was 88%. The study found the purple-skinned bulbous garlic was more effective than the white-skinned variety. In another case, enemas made from tea containing garlic were used for 154 cases of pinworm in children two to nine years old; treatments were repeated on the third and seventh day after the initial treatment. After this period, tests for parasite eggs around the anus were negative (meaning no eggs were found) in 76 of the patients.

Some alternative medicine physicians use freshly juiced garlic (refrigerated after pressing) in the treatment of parasites, dysbiosis, Candida albicans, and other infectious microbes. Common dosage is two to three teaspoons in a two-liter bag, which is infused into the patient's colon at the end of a colonic. If doing an enema at home, use 1-2 cloves of garlic, crush them, steep them in a tea for 10-15 minutes with a tight cover, allow this to cool to body temperature, and then put this in the enema bag. Garlic is fairly caustic and if you use too much, you can injure tissues, so it's better to use a small amount. As an oral supplement, two cloves of fresh garlic daily are recommended; in capsule form, 500 mg, twice daily.


Goldenseal (Hydrastic Canadensis)

The alkaloid berberine is found in many plants and in particularly high concentrations in goldenseal. Berberine inhibits the growth of several common parasities that invade the intestine, including Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Erwinia carotovora, and Leishmania donvania. In one study, children with giardiasis were given either berberine sulfate (a standardized goldenseal extract) or the drug Flagyl. After ten days, both substances produced similar results: 90% of the berberine-treated group no longer had Giardia in their stools compared to 95% of the Flagyl-treated group. Unlike the Flagyl-treated group, however, those receiving berberine suffered no negative side effects. Typical dosage: 500 mg, three times daily.
