HOW TO CURE YOUR ALLERGIES: THE ALLERGY TESTS
For the skin, RAST and cytotoxic food tests to be accurate you need to be off vitamin supplements (especially vitamin C), cortisone and antihistamine for five to seven days before the tests. These substances will block the reaction between the testing agent and the blood and skin, giving rise to inaccurate results. If you suspect any other medication you are on might affect the tests, check with your allergist first. It pays to be off as many drugs as possible (even the pill) before the tests, though the absolute no no’s are the ones just mentioned. Other drugs will have only a minimal effect on test accuracy so don’t go off them if it’s going to stress you in other ways. On no account should you ever go on or off any drug medication without your doctor’s advice.
Seventy-two hours prior to the tests eat as wide a variety of foods as possible. The tests are more accurate if the blood has made contact with the food it’s being tested for within a three day period. Don’t eat any food you suspect will harm you. List those foods instead and take them into account when planning your personal Anti-Allergy Program. This procedure is applicable to all food tests including food elimination tests.
If your asthma symptoms flare up during this time use your-Ventolin inhaler and/or any other non-cortisone/non-antihistamine drugs as often as your doctor deems appropriate to keep the symptoms and possible discomfort of food loading at bay. If your eczema flares Lip you may use cortisone creams during this time.
It’s a waste of time taking any of these tests if you’re on marijuana, speed, heroin or any other recreational drug.
Don’t eat large quantities of each food: small amounts are quite sufficient. Use cortisone puffers (not pills) after the tests.
Having had the tests, remove from your diet those foods you are allergic to. Adhere to the Anti-Candida Program minus the foods you are allergic to. Use the Anti-Candida Program as your basis for treatment. Stick to it strictly for ninety days.
If you show up as having inhalant allergies to airborne moulds, yeast and fungi you must go off the mould foods listed at the back of the book. Some people make the mistake of thinking that because they have inhalant allergies only they don’t need to go on a diet. Inhalant allergies cannot be cured if the foods they pertain to are not avoided totally for at least ninety days.
If you show up allergic to grasses stay off the herbal teas for ninety clays and all foods pertaining to or containing that substance. For example, if you show up allergic to rye grass you must avoid all foods containing rye—rye bread, Ryvita, etc. If you are allergic to wheatgrass, then nothing containing wheat, and if you are allergic to common oats, then no porridge, oatmeal soap, muesli, oat bran or oatmeal.
