Food allergy is a symptom of a more primary problem, leaky gutsyndrome, which is likewise also caused by a more primary problem, inflammation and damage to the gastrointestinal lining from toxins (from food, heavy metals and unfriendly organisms, e.g., mycotoxins – toxins from candida). Toxin damage causes tiny holes to form in the normally tight barrier between the cells lining the GI Tract (leaky gut), which allows relatively large molecules of food protein to pass through and encounter the immune surveillance (60% + of body’s overall immune system is in and around the GI tract), which then “tricks” the immune system into “believing” the foreign protein from a food is a threat to the body. This sets up an attack mode against perfectly nutritious food protein which is called a food (and/or “brain”) allergy. The two most common causes of Food Allergies are: 1) Heavy metals, which bind to multiple sites on digestive enzymes and “paralyze them” and 2) Protein malnutrition, which sets up a downhill spiral of inadequate amino acids to synthesize digestive enzymes, which causes maldigestion of food protein, which causes a greater deficiency in amino acids to synthesize more enzymes etc., etc. Clinically, both of these causes usually coexist to cause maldigestion of protein, and if a patient also suffers from gut toxin exposure which causes leaky gut, food (and “brain”) allergy is virtually assured. Supplemented digestive enzymes help digest and absorb food quickly and efficiently, which deprives unfriendly flora of a “feast” later on, further down the intestinal tract, and which then limits their secretion of toxins and neurotoxins Supplemented digestive enzymes help digest other supplemented nutrients (e.g., lipases digest essential fatty acids), especially when co-administered with phospholipids.
