HALT Allergies with This “Tune-Up” Trick

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted May 5, 2021

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,

There’s an epidemic on the rise.

It’s not another virus… it’s not antibiotic resistance (though that’s a deadly force of its own).

It’s allergies.

With the varieties of foods available to us—and not to mention the chemicals and ingredients they’re chock full of—it’s natural that we’d develop allergies.

Thankfully, I’ve got GOOD news as well as bad… if you suffer from allergies, there’s hope.

I’m not talking about shots or new medicine…

It’s an easy, all-natural “tune-up” trick that HALTS allergies…

And you can do it from the comfort of your home.

It all starts with your gut.

As you’ve heard me talk about, your microbiome is a collection of mostly bacteria that inhabit your gut… and it’s VITAL for the health of your heart and brain.

And now we’re learning that it determines how well you tolerate certain foods.

A group of researchers from the University of Chicago is pioneering emerging research into how bacteria in the gut can be manipulated to help people with food allergies.

The common treatment for food allergies is called oral immunotherapy, where a patient will eat a small amount of the food they’re allergic too every day… but this can be a NIGHTMARE for most folks.

That’s why this new study is so important.

Researchers induced allergic reactions in mice to establish a baseline. Then, they took healthy bacteria from human guts and administered them to the mice.

And suddenly, the allergic reactions stopped!

In another study, researchers discovered that folks with peanut allergies actually had antibodies in their gut that fought off the allergic reactions.

The answer is clear: a healthy gut is your best bet for dealing with allergies.

Here’s how to get started.

Dr. Scott’s Good Gut Health Program:

• Start with a good probiotic. Yes, probiotics are your gateway to a healthy colon, but probiotics do more than that. They also help with brain health, immune function, whole-body inflammation, and can help you shed a few pounds.
• Eat enough fiber. Fiber regulates your bowel movements, but it also helps stimulate healthy bacterial growth. It’s important to make sure that you get both water-soluble and water-insoluble fiber. One of my favorite water-soluble fibers is ground flax seeds, and for water-insoluble fiber, I prefer Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes.
• Avoid trans fats. Trans fats are found in margarine and almost every processed food. Cut these out of your diet whenever possible.

P.S. If you suffer from itchy skin due to allergies, you’ll want to hear about this. It’s a powerful berry that can give you relief, plus a healthy dose of antioxidants. Read more right here.
