Allergies & Disease

Allergies and Disease

Your sugar addiction, allergies and other symptoms are probably why you’re visiting this site. Dr. Appleton’s position is that allergies, degenerative and infectious diseases are related in their causes, a supressed immune system. In the course, of her work she discovered that such immune system suppressions can occur with many of the foods that are ubiquitous in our modern diet, of which the chief culprit is sugar. She also found out that stress allowed to fester into distress has similar effects on our health.

For many people, eating any foods that are normally good for you with an abusive food like sugar may eventually cause you to be allergic to that food. The doctor tells a story of her unhealthy youth where she would pop into a hamburger stand and get onion rings with a chocolate shake. Until she started applying the principles of homeostasis and mineral balance to her own life, she couldn’t have told you why even raw onions made her nose run, her joints ache and key parts of her body swelled up. The sugar in the chocolate shake and the fried fat of the onion rings were such an assault on her immune system that her body classified onions as a foreign invader thus creating a food allergy.

Some people get heart attacks. Some people can drink cow’s milk (not many). Some people get diabetes. Some people get cancer. Some people smoke cigars every day until they’re 90. Your genetic makeup plays a role in the way you’ll get sick if you abuse your body, but your lifestyle largely determines if you’ll get sick. This is one of the reasons why we don’t want to hear about your symptoms (see FAQ) and only give general advice, because you’re all too different from everyone else.

Usually, the allergies you get are precursors and warnings for more serious conditions that you get later in life. Eating foods from the list of commonly abused foods (See below and/or food plans in book) makes your gastro-intestinal tract permeable (leaky) so that not all of the food digests and these particles enter the bloodstream (Yes, there are medical journal citations for this statement in all of the doctor’s books). The immune system reacts and and sends out white blood cells and antibodies to deal with the threat, because food particles are not supposed to be in the bloodstream.

However, when the immune system is dealing with your food this way, what it is not doing is killing off all the things for which you really need your immune system: the new flu strain, the cells that freak out and become cancerous, that nasty Candida Albacans problem, or the fact that you didn’t wash out your cuts. All of the immune system’ energy is taken up with the donuts, 4 cokes/day, your lack of exercise and that chocolate cake.

Abusive foods get you with a double whammy, because in addition to the process noted above they change the mineral relationships in your body. Minerals may be present, but they won’t work unless the correct amount of supporting minerals are also present. Every process in your body is governed by your hormones and enzymes which are all mineral dependent and so your body doesn’t work as well. So perhaps you needed selenium to work its magic upon the serotonin in your nerve cells so you can think clearly through that final exam, but you drank some soda and now you lost some copper which helps selenium? This example may not be accurate (see wheel below), but it illustrates that your body will break down over time if minerals and other nutrients are not in balance (this is homeostasis a word coined by Walter B. Cannon). The digestive and immune systems are usually the first to feel the effects of this imbalance rendering your body unable to process food or fight off foreign invaders. Allergies and disease follow. Dr. Appleton says, “Put your body in homeostasis and your body will heal itself.”

Now, many doctors don’t think that adults get allergies, because doctors don’t see symptoms. However, testing with the Body Monitor Test Kit shows excess calcium secreted into the urine when people eat foods to which they react. Blood tests for the various immunoglobulins (markers for immune responses) have also shown reactions when the patient reports no symptoms.

Disease follows allergy because one immune weakness creates more. The allergan acts like sugar, stress or anything else to which you react. An allergy to milk may mean lots of undigested calcium that may show up as dental plaque, hardened arteries, or the lactose may spike your insulin response as if you had eaten regular sugar. What disease you’ll get depends on your genetic profile and your genes’ interaction with your bad diet or unrequited stress.

Most people are allergic to: sugar and most other sweeteners, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, dairy, chocolate, corn and anything that you eat with a lot of sugar or that you overcook. A person can be allergic to anything if they abuse it by eating it with sugar.

Some allergies are not permanent. Dr. Appleton reports that her allergy to onions finally went away after several years of keeping it out of her diet and ceasing the sugar. However, even after 30 years she still can’t eat chocolate, beef, chicken, eggs, cheese or any other dairy, except butter on her potatoes.

The entire program is based on a regular testing regime for which you will need the Body Monitor and a diet in which you remove all harmful foods. The idea is that you remove these foods for a period of time and then gradually reintroduce them one at a time. Using the kit you will test your urine one hour after eating a suspect food. Seven drops each of both your urine and the reagent is enough for a single test. If you have a reaction then you are allergic to the tested food and you should keep it out of your diet. Cloudy means too much calcium excreted into the urine; this is bad. Clear urine means not enough calcium secreted; this is also bad. Slightly hazy is normal and is a good indicator of homeostasis. You’ll see results instantly when you hold the test tube up to any piece of paper with text on it. You should have a slight problem reading the text, any other result is a problem. Please refer to the instruction booklet or Lick the Sugar Habit for more information about urine and saliva testing.

In each of her books, Dr. Appleton has listed three food plans at the back. Food Plan Three is restrictive, but is designed to mimic the Paleolithic Diet of reasonable amounts of protein and lots of vegetables. Fruit is not part of Food Plan Three because it has enough sugar to keep an unhealthy person out of homeostasis. You have to heal before fruit can be reintroduced, so fruit is part of Food Plans Two and One. Regardless or which plan you choose, you have to modify the plans to keep whatever you’re allergic to out of your diet. Additionally, if you’re coming to this site having tried some other health information, none of the food plans conflict with anything else. Vegetarians/vegans can eat even from Food Plan Three if they realize the real problem is sugar, honey, molasses and other sweeteners and not animal proteins per se. Vegetarians can eat beans, whole grains and vegetables to get their protein. Also, the doctor says that those who eat according to their metabolic or blood type will also find plenty of food to eat on any of the food plans.

Stress management, exercise and the mental side of things are also important. Bad feelings also upset your body chemistry causing allergies and disease. Don’t eat if you feel stressed until you’ve meditated, prayed, exercised, written in the journal and so forth. Everyone gets stress, especially if there’s a freeway nearby. But, dealing with it properly helps keep you healthy. Don’t let stress become distress!

These concepts are basically the core of Dr. Appleton’s program. The idea is now that you have some information and start testing your own homeostasis you will figure out your own health program after consulting your doctor. Maybe you need to cut out the ice cream, those French fries or perhaps you eat too much of a good thing and should cut your plate size in half.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU EAT, WHAT YOU SAY, HOW YOU FEEL AND HOW MUCH YOU MOVE YOUR BODY. Thus you are responsible for your health. Sickness doesn’t just happen no matter what the least knowledgeable doctors say. Now you have some information to take charge of your own health.

This is the greatest article I’ve ever read! I can’t tell you how much this helped me. I feel like you’ve renewed my hope in finding some kind of a cure or solution. Thank you so much!

I really needed to read this. I am a 50/50 eater- I eat good quality food half the time but have MS and allergies.
I was encouraged by this artcle and am going to move beyond that 50/50!

I have had allergies my entire life until recently. This article is on point and I have found that when I cut out the processed foods and sugars that I usually consume that my allergies go away. I am interested in going through this process and narrowing down my allergies. Thank you for this information.

I have also found that my allergies subside when I cut out sugar. It is very difficult to cut it out completely, though, as so many foods contain some sugar, even the soya milk I drink contains sugar. But I find that these small amounts don’t do much harm, it when I eat biscuits or cakes that the skin rashes flare up. Wheat is also something whose absence from my diet has had a very positive effect, notably a significant decrease in abdominal bloating and excessive wind.

Nancy,
I’m becoming addicted to you! Just joking. The more I read the more I understand that sugar is the cause of of much of my ailments. Thank you so much for all your work.
Regards
Micah

I found you information on sugar and allergies very interesting. Could you tell me please if allergy can cause severe pressure at the front of the head between the eyes and in the head and also a spaced out feeling and balance problems. I have been suffering for years with this problem.

Short answer: Yes.

thanks so much 4 your article. the reason i was searching sugar allergies is because my heart races and i feel a little out of breath when i eat sweets. i know any is too many, but have you heard of anything like that. i don t have the mentioned reactions, so im not sure if its an allergy response.


on January 27, 2014 at 9:25 pm | jaklizard
An allergy response is any reaction that is out of norm for an individual’s body chemistry as illuminated by a standard blood panel and other common tests. We may not have listed your symptoms because we can’t list everything in writing that is sometimes already too list heavy. Simple progression; you ate sugar, your pulse raced, you’re allergic.

I am new to your site and very interested in trying your plan. I have reason to believe I am suffering from Candida Overgrowth. Certain foods bloat me and I feel fatigue, joint pain and stiffness, blurry vision, etc. I did a saliva test in water which was positive. I quit alcohol 5 weeks ago, had changed to gluten free diet 6 weeks ago, limiting sugar now for about 2 weeks and I still feel yucky. I just don’t know where to go from here.


on February 3, 2014 at 1:57 pm | jaklizard
All good starts. Everybody is slightly different; meaning that standard responses on any test are just averages. You may need more time on your program to see results. Some suggestions: 1) when it comes to Candida limiting sugar means as little as possible or none if your cravings will let you (not always possible at first). 2) if you’ve given your program a reasonable amount of time to start work and your sugar intake is low enough to help, then you may want to consider allergy testing. Our allergies are part of how we get sick using the same processes as every other disease.

Now, as for the rest I would encourage you to click over to our store page: https://nancyappleton.com/store to see what we have that you might like. I personally would recommend Suicide by Sugar. And our Body Monitor Kit (if used correctly) may give you a cheaper option on any allergy testing you might want.

Thank you for your readership.

I just found this site although I had previously read about Nancy Appleton. Bravo to your team! I am struggling with sugar addition, etc. but will persevere until I get healthier. Would love to see a major buy in from nutritionists & medics. A better world would teach all this at universities around the globe…
I cannot help but wonder what the food company execs feed their own families?How do the scientists working for Bigfood sleep at night -knowing what they do-because at least some of them must surely realize how majorly toxic sugar is?
Keep up the good work, you are all a big ray of hope!


on June 20, 2015 at 3:19 pm | Candis Firchau
I found this same idea to be true for me. I struggled for 8 years because of the sugar, dairy (whole cow) allergies. I eat no sugar or subs and no meat, but fish.


on March 29, 2016 at 5:37 am | Kathy MacFarland
Nancy I have been sick for over 38 years and to well over 100 doctors all to no avail. I have leaky gut pretty bad and react to every food I eat. My immune system is pretty much down after all these years of sugar. How do you get tested for the Candida? Also I talked to Roberta Ruggiero yesterday and am going into Manhattan to see a doctor she recommended up there. Years ago in 2007 (I realize that was years ago but I did a 6 hour GTT test and fell to a 34 in the second hour). I have a lot of faith in god and believe he has sent you and others in my life to get on the right track. How do I get my leaky gut and probably I do have the candida straightened out? I have to be able to eat with this severe hypoglycemia symptoms I have most of the day? I have not been able to work in 18 years and am basically most of the time stuck in bed? Appreciate your help. If you need to call me my number is 732-988-0441 my name is Kathy MacFarland. Have a blessed day. When you see my email address I realize it has nothing to do with my name as I was hacked and switched it to lindaend@aol.com. Again have a blessed day and praying you can offer some ideas. I have cut out sugar completely as of yesterday and most carbs. It seems that diabetes ran in my family. Kathy MacFarland

I like this article. It’s very comprehensive. So, how to heal allergy from sugar? Is there home remedies for getting rid of that allergy?


on July 21, 2016 at 12:26 am | jaklizard
Stop eating sugar.

Nancy Appleton Books exists to provide information about the common killers in our diet. SUGAR KILLS!

Nancy Appleton PhD started writing and lecturing about health in the late 1970s as a reaction to her own poor health. Her discoveries about sugar and other common diet mistakes led to her first book Lick the Sugar Habit, which is still chugging along as a 25-year bestseller. Six more books have followed. Her latest is Suicide by Sugar. She has also encapsulated her life’s work into the movie Sweet Suicide. Doctor Appleton is currently retired and resides in San Diego, California. Even though she is retired Dr. Appleton is currently writing her last book on why The Germ Theory, the medical paradigm of the western world, is incorrect. This theory has taken responsibility for our health away from individuals and given it to doctors and drug companies searching for the right pills. That over the past 100 years or so our failures using this theory sometimes outnumber our successes suggest we need a major shift in health thinking in the present.

G.N. Jacobs’ involvement with Dr. Appleton began as a client and progressed into running the day to day affairs of the business. He is a novelist, essayist, filmmaker and serious contender for the title “Prince of Blogs.” He is proud of his novel Blood & Ink. He lives in Los Angeles.

What kind of combined raw/cooked diet?

Making intelligent choices

The point that the issue of raw vs. cooked foods is not an easy or black-and-white question has been made in a number of ways by now in this paper. Implicit in the recognition that the issue is not black-and-white is the resulting consideration of trade-offs. In this regard, there are two primary trade-offs to assess when making the decision whether to make certain foods a part of one's diet, and whether to cook them or not, that we'll examine here.

Trade-off #1: Should we cook to neutralize toxins/
improve digestibility of potentially valuable foods?

We have seen that cooking sometimes destroys antinutrients or toxins, so that a food previously toxic becomes edible. However, cooking often leaves some toxins undestroyed, and the result of cooking is that we eat much more of that food than if it were in its raw state. An excess of cassava, for instance, can result in a serious poisoning by cyanogenic glycosides; other examples are numerous, and much could be said against grains. (Antinutrients in grains, such as phytates which bind minerals, can cause rickets and pellegra if grains constitute a large enough portion of the diet. See the site article The Late Role of Grains and Legumes in the Human Diet, and Biochemical Evidence their Evolutionary Discordance for more information and references.)

"Optimal foraging" in the modern supermarket? Cooking proves to be useful for modern hunter-gatherers (and as we have said, would presumably also have been so for prehistoric hunter-gatherers once they had developed the level of acumen necessary to utilize fire) so as to enhance chances of survival. However, nowadays in the twentieth century, with all sorts of imported foods widely available, it may be that cooking loses its importance. On the other hand, the range of foods available in our supermarkets and health-food stores is implicitly intended to be sufficient for people using a stove, but might not be adequate for those who don't, since many of the tubers (i.e., potatoes) and vegetables (turnips, kale, etc.) are barely edible raw; and modern, highly bred fruits are excessively high in sugar compared to their wild counterparts.

So, raw-fooders end up with a diet which differs considerably from what they would be able to obtain under natural conditions (assuming this term has any meaning for humans that all could agree on). So even if "optimal foraging theory" doesn't apply anymore here, cooking and accepting a (very mild) natural toxin load (like solanine from potatoes) might help achieve a more balanced diet and the net result could be positive, as we shall see.

No "perfect" food or set of foods enabling avoidance of all toxins. While it certainly makes sense to limit the consumption of foods that are inedible raw--all other things being equal (an important condition, because sometimes they aren't)--the presence of natural toxins shouldn't be a deterrent, unless they are present in hazardous levels. There is no perfect food. One role of the liver is to eliminate the toxic constituents in order to be able to utilize food sources for nutrients even if they are accompanied by some level of antinutrients or toxins, and the nutrients would be difficult to come by otherwise.


Trade-off #2: Will an all-raw diet require
excessive bulk to obtain sufficient nutrition?

In principle, raw foods can provide all the necessary nutrients (except for the thorny issue of B-12 in vegan diets), especially if a variety of foods is utilized, including sprouts, nuts, organ meats, seaweed. Obviously, there is no black-and-white answer, given the extreme variability of raw-food diets. But while no one claims that cooking is an absolute necessity, in practice, a balanced raw diet is rather difficult to achieve.

Idealism vs. real-world practicalities. Some of the reasons why all-raw diets can be impractical to implement include:

• The calorie problem in strict raw vegan diets. Regarding deficiencies specifically, if raw foods that are more concentrated in protein and fat are avoided or minimized for whatever reason (i.e., nuts, avocados, coconuts, etc.), raw vegetarian diets often lead to emaciation since these foods would otherwise be the main dense-calorie sources in an all-raw diet. (See The Calorie Paradox of Raw Veganism for an in-depth examination of these problems.) Or alternatively, to get sufficient calories, one may instead be forced to eat large quantities of sweet fruit, which can eventually lead to long-term problems with sugar metabolism and/or deficiencies, since, while sweet fruits are high in certain vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin C, B-6, nicotinamide, potassium), they are very low in others (vitamin D, B-12, biotin, calcium; fruits also have a low Ca/Mg ratio). Note that although the levels of some minerals are low in milk, e.g., iron, such minerals are very bioavailable and are readily absorbed.

• Bioavailability concerns can necessitate higher, unsustainable levels of intake. Since nutrients in some cooked foods have better bioavailability or edibility than the raw version (some root vegetables, tubers, grains, etc.), if one avoids such foods just because they are not so palatable raw, one can become forced into eating huge quantities of lower-bioavailable raw foods, which ends up making one's life revolve around food in an unbalanced way. (Again, see The Calorie Paradox of Raw Veganism for the practical problems imposed by the volume of food that can be required.)

• Raw diets often lack nutritional variety under modern conditions because of the relatively narrow range of palatable (raw) foods available in today's supermarkets, which can lead to boredom and/or deficiencies. Despite the fact that modern supermarkets give us foods from all over the world, they are often insipid and tasteless varieties that stand shipping/storage well, but may be unappetizing or otherwise unattractive or inedible to someone as concerned about quality food as a raw-foodist.

• Binge-eating due to unmet needs or caged desires. If such boredom and lack of variety is an issue, periodic binge-eating on non-raw or processed foods can become a problem because of the decrease in range of taste pleasures one may experience on such an all-raw diet. Despite what the more zealous 100%-raw-food advocates may often claim, some people find the all-raw diet to be not nearly as appetizing as "advertised." This can be true even after a lengthy period of adjustment to eating raw. It can also be just as true even when eating a raw diet composed of high-quality organic produce.

• Sacrifices in other important areas of one's life. One can attempt to avoid the problem of insipid supermarket produce by seeking out sources of tastier, higher-quality organic or farmers' market foods, or participating in CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture cooperatives), for example, where one works on the farm in exchange for a take of the food. However, these avenues take more time or money than some people have, and may also force one's life to become more centered around getting food than they would like, and create social isolation from others not "into" the same thing. (Others, of course, enjoy all this.)

• Social isolation can be a particular problem if one insists on eating all-raw all the time: bringing your own food to parties, or declining invitations to restaurants or family get-togethers can have a negative impact on your social life.

• Excessive mental preoccupation. In favor of eating some cooked food, a less extreme diet can help to think in a less extreme way, and thus gain mental balance. Some readers might not like the term "extreme," which has negative connotations. By "extreme," we simply mean "very different from what is commonly practiced by other humans." Extreme difference or originality can be a sign of genius, or of mental imbalance, or neither. We are not claiming that all people eating 100% raw are imbalanced; in fact, some are successful. But it is a fact of experience that excessive preoccupation with dietary purity often results in fanatical attitudes, or in ways of thinking that can spoil your life. (For instance, see the article Health Food Junkie on this site, by Steven Bratman.)

Important distinction to be made between less-than-100%-raw diets vs. SAD/SWD. In closing this section, we emphasize once again that there is a huge difference between predominantly raw diets, including some gently cooked items (no processing, no salt, no sauces, no frying or use of vegetable oil in cooking) and the "standard American (cooked) diet" (SAD), alternatively also called the "standard Western diet" (SWD).


Misrepresentations by extremists. One of the more inexcusable, often tacitly implied misrepresentations in the typical extremist raw-foodist rationale is the tendency to indiscriminately lump in most any cooked-food diet with the SAD. Or to irrationally claim one doesn't get the bulk of the benefits unless one achieves the magic 100%-raw number, whereupon the benefits suddenly manifest themselves. On the contrary, it is possible to get most, if not all, the benefits that raw-food confers if one eats a predominantly raw rather than all-raw diet, without suffering from the inconveniences and potential nutritional downsides.

STAGE 1 RECIPES

STAGE 1 RECIPES


As you’re getting started with your NutriBlasts, we suggest using greens with a mild taste like spinach or spring greens. The fruits you use will easily mask their flavor, making for a tasty, refreshing drink. Experiment with water quantities to find your ideal consistency. The more water you use, the thinner your NutriBlast, and vice versa. Remember to never go beyond the MAX line. Fight any temptation you have to add processed ingredients like fruit juice. Whole, unprocessed foods will give you the best results.


These Stage One recipes are perfect for first time NutriBlasters, but don’t be afraid to get creative and concoct your own masterpieces. You can even share your favorites with us and join our wonderful community!
