The most common allergies are caused by this group of foods. By avoiding these foods for few weeks, your system gets a chance to relax and clear itself out. You may not even know that you have an allergy to these foods because the symptoms may be so subtle. Alcohol, Caffeine (coffee, black tea, and sodas) and soy milk, soda and fruit drinks that are high in sugars. Both alcohol and caffeine are hard on the liver, so give your liver a vacation! Pork, cold cuts, bacon, hot dogs, canned meats, sausage and shellfish Meats, unless organic, are typically high in nasty ingredients such as estrogens, antibiotics, and other ingredients typical of processed foods. Meats should be added to meals as flavoring and not be the meal. Corn and Tomato sauce (whole fresh tomatoes are OK) These are common allergens and can contribute to pain and inflammation. All dairy (milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, ect...) Dairy products are most likely to cause allergies and can increase pain. Stay away from creamy salad dressing (ranch, creamy garlic, ect…) as they contain dairy. Food high in fats and oils, including peanuts, refined oils, margarine, and shortening This diet was designed to lessen the burden placed on your system by eliminating many foods, including those high in fats and refined, processed oils. All refined sugar products (candy bars and other junk foods) and corn syrups. Refined sugar slows the process of detoxification and weakens the immune system. Any other food not listed on these pages that you know you are allergic to. Give your healthcare practitioner a list of foods that you know that you are allergic to.
