Overload and Target Organs 67Any food, any symptom
I’m saying all that to make a very important point which is that any food
(or indeed any stressor) can impact any part of the body or any organ. The
symptoms which result have little or no relevance, contrary to the way most
doctors look at this. All through med school, trainee doctors are taught to
look for combinations of symptoms, called a syndrome or “disease,” which
is a fixed pattern of ailments that recurs each time. This helps to identify
the supposed cause. Thus a certain kind of respiratory distress in which
exhalation of breath is difficult and accompanied by wheezing sounds,
often provoked by dust and sometimes by emotions, is called asthma. For a
doctor that fixes it and the correct drugs are prescribed.
But it says nothing about the real cause of this problem. Often
it is known that inhalant allergies cause provocation. But sometimes this
is not the case and doctors are then baffled. They have never done the
years of trial and error that I did and proven to themselves, as I have, that
over 85% or asthma is food allergy or genetic food intolerance and on a
correctly maintained diet, excluding the patients’ allergens, most will recover
completely.
Casebook 3.
One of my early cases was Mark, a young boy of fourteen. He was what
we call a “respiratory cripple”: his lungs were so bad at oxygenating the
blood that he could hardly walk. Mark was just as much a cripple as if he’d
had a withered leg. Just to get by he needed oxygen several times a day; that
meant he could not go to school and had to study at home, with his oxygen
tank on hand. Mark was also taking, as I remember, around seven or eight
different medications.
The fact that the meds were clearly of no value did not stop
his regular physician from prescribing these toxins. In fact when the boy
relapsed and symptoms got worse, that was taken as a sign to increase the
doses he was taking. Not very logical in my view. People in this precarious
mode of existence often die due to one final severe asthma attack. The
drugs are already pushed to the limit and therefore there is nothing left with
which to bring the patient out of the crisis. It is so needless: the patient is
not suffering a drug deficiency, therefore drugs did not and could not solve
the problem – only stall the symptoms somewhat.
Asthma, of course, is an inflammatory process (often made worse
by stress and other factors). The most likely inflammation is an allergy. Most
