Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hey Bee I have an interesting question for you. My 21-yo son has complained of what he feel are allergy symptoms: stuffy, runny nose, cough (all mucous-type symptoms). Last August, he left for Germany for a 7-month mission outreach. I was still learning about your program and had begun to switch our family diet over to your way of eating, but I knew he was addicted to carbs (ie., after eating three platefuls of spaghetti, him telling me he could still eat more) and he was obese when he left here. In Germany, he walked 20 minutes to and from school three times/day with a section of it being an 18-20* incline. He also spent 6 wks in Peru (eating mostly fruit, but also playing at the beach daily). He lost around 30 lbs during these 7 months, but his diet was mostly bread and fruits. Virtually no fat, little protein. Lots of bread. He is back home now and I asked him this morning what his 'allergies' did while he was away. He said that he did not experience any of his 'usual' symptoms while away and he noticed that the very first morning home, he woke up with a dry throat and now he's got all these " mucous " symptoms again (sniffling, coughing). In light of your program, which I firmly believe in, how can what has happened to him be explained? Living on a diet of mostly carbs, he not only lost weight but he had none of his typical 'allergy' symptoms and now that he is back home (and eating more fat and protein and way less carbs; certainly no refined carbs), his allergy symptoms have returned. Thanks for any insight you can give me. Began 03/09/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those symptoms are actually detoxifying symptoms. Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before I read this, I told my girls that is probably what was going on: detox; and wouldn't he be GLAD to hear his symptoms are not sickness or allergies but detox? the biggest question is will he accept it or listen to the world... sigh.
