One's Food is Another's Poison: Allergies are Masqueraders (The David Rowland series)

By David Rowland

"What is meat to one may be bitter poison to others." - Hippocrates Hippocrates is also reputed to have said, " To many this has been the commencement of a serious disease when they have merely taken twice in a day the same food that they have been in the custom of taking once ." One of his earliest dietary observations was that milk could cause gastric upset and hives in sensitive people. Today's physicians would do well to note that hidden food sensitivities could be the leading cause of most undiagnosed symptoms. There is no food that is ideal for everyone. There is no diet that brings health to all. What are the best foods for a particular individual depend on that person's unique biochemistry. Foods considered healthy for the general population can behave like slow poisons in those who have sensitivities to them. Tofu, yogurt, granola, wheat germ, whole grain breads - oatmeal, milk, eggs, orange juice, broccoli - all these fine foods make some people sick. It is hard to believe that a simple matter of food choice can have devastating consequences. Health advocates are sometimes the hardest to convince, especially those who fervently believe in a "one diet fits all" approach. Undiagnosed food sensitivities affect more than half of the population. Almost everyone has at least one sensitivity. Many are unaware that their symptoms are caused by inappropriate food choices. They continue to eat the same foods, day after day, never getting complete relief from dietary supplements or lifestyle changes.
