ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Harry Hong, PhD, offers expertise on
how to prevent children from dangerous allergies.
“Food allergies are
life altering for everyone involved and require constant vigilance,” says
Hong. “Today more than ever, it is important that parents understand that
over-vaccination, over-use of antibiotics and over-consumption of sugar are
the leading issues causing children to develop dangerous food allergies.”
Hong goes on to explain that too many vaccinations in the first year of life
promotes a TH2 immune system in children. TH2 immune systems overproduce
antibodies, which can lead to a sensitive immune function causing allergies
and other immune system malfunctions. Too much sugar in a child’s diet leads
to intestinal Candida problems and eventually Leaky Gut Syndrome. This
syndrome causes partially digested food to leak out into the body,
triggering immune responses and causing food allergies. Hong offers the
following tips to help keep kids safe from these allergy-causing issues:
- Postpone Vaccinations – When possible, postpone vaccinations for infants and
toddlers until they have had time to develop a healthy immune system. By the
age of three, children have more developed immune systems that can
effectively deal with harsh vaccinations.
- Avoid Common Allergy Foods –
Staying clear of high-risk allergy foods during early development will give
the immune system a better chance to develop a defense before encountering
them. The eight foods which account for 90 percent of food allergies are
milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, etc.), wheat,
soy, fish and shellfish.
- Reduce Food Additives and Antibiotics – Cut
foods with additives and antibiotics out of children’s diets. Like
vaccinations, these supplements are difficult on a child’s immune system and
will cause allergies and infection.
