Did You Know that 70% of Your Immune System is in Your Gut?

The body contains many specialized cells that allow it to absorb nutrients from the food that we eat without responding to it as a foreign substance.  The specialized tissue known as GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) is present throughout the bowel walls and allows the body to differentiate between healthy food and disease causing organisms. If the balance of bacteria in the bowel is upset as a result of a poor […]

Could Diabetes Be Caused By A Dairy Intolerance?

Could it really be possible that type one diabetes is triggered by an intolerance to dairy products?  More and more literature is appearing in journals and on the internet that offers compelling information about the link between the two.  As I have worked with many hundreds of people in the last 25 years to address their food sensitivities I, too, have noticed a pattern.  In the families where there […]
