Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Cinnamon is not listed as a NO on the diet handout. I think it was mentioned during the chat as something Dr. G said for one of the kids to try taking out because it is something that many kids can have trouble with because it is a high phenol spice.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Oops, just re-read Timary's original e-mail about hearing this from the office so I guess they've added that to the list of nos since I got my copy. I imagine Dr. G adds things as secondary " nos " as he hears of a bunch of kids reacting to it. If a kid has problems with high phenol foods, they'll typically react to tomatos, apples, bananas, chocolate, thyme, and cinnamon. There are other high-phenol foods that I can't recall right now. I think many berries may be but I'm not sure. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I think you're probably right. I've never seen my son react to cinnamon. Donna Re: cinnamon i wasn't told why.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I had a phone consult with Dr. G tonight and I asked him about cinnamon. He just indicated that some kids do have higher allergen levels when cinnamon is included in their diet. My sons allergen level went from 2% to 3% on his latest blood test, although he has been eating foods with cinnamon in them for as long as I can remember, Dr. G. said I may just want to exclude the cinnamon for the next couple of months and see how his next blood test comes back. He also suggested to give him cinnamon again after a couple of months and see if we notice any changes. Re: cinnamon i wasn't told why.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 That sounds more like his position on it. It's not so much forbidden as suspected. My kids were having cinnamon daily for a while, but since their eosiniphils have never gone over 1.4% since following them, he had no problem with it. Why remove something if you don't really have to? --- Mindy Renouf <mrenouf@...> wrote: > I had a phone consult with Dr. G tonight and I asked > him about cinnamon.

In additon to the usual well-accepted signs of allergy like increased mucous, stuffy nose, wheezing, stomach discomfort, headaches, eczema and other skin reactions, diahria, etc., foods that cause a negative immune reaction can lead to overall functioning problems as well like spaciness, muddled thinking and memory problems; lethargy or extreme fatique; hyperness, difficulty sitting still, poor focus, sleeping problems; weakness and giving up easily; irritability; emotionality like crying, rages, and tantrums, etc. A very simplistic explanation of this is that anything that aggravates the immune system takes precious energy away from the brain and important bodily functions and puts it towards fighting something so eliminating these immune system triggers, including certain foods, chemicals and inhalants, can improve overall functioning. A very good book detailing this is by Dr. Dorris Rapp " Is This Your Child? " and/or " Is This Your Child's World? " It discusses how to rotate foods and keep a diary to try to pinpoint certain offenders. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Cinnamon works as a healing power to help prevent heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Due to its antioxidant properties, cinnamon helps people with metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of factors, including excessive abdominal fat, high blood sugar and elevated blood pressure. All these increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon helps use the hormone insulin in the body more efficiently. Research studies have found that consuming capsules containing one, three or six grams of cinnamon daily (about ¼ teaspoon) for forty days will lower blood levels of glucose and triglycerides (fats in the blood) by about 25 percent in adults with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces bad cholesterol by 27 percent. Yes, cinnamon is definitely a healing power for those suffering from serious illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure. So, you ask yourself what do I need to do to utilize the healing powers of cinnamon. In order for cinnamon’s healing powers to work you need to follow the recommended dosage. Use one half to one teaspoon of powdered cinnamon daily on cereal or toast or mix into yogurt. Take one capsule twice a day or add twenty to forty drops of tincture to one ounce of water and drink three times daily. If you want to take it with tea simply mix one-fourth to one-half teaspoon of powdered cinnamon with eight ounces of boiling water. Steep for ten to fifteen minutes, covered. Then drink a four-ounce cup up to three times a day. The healing powers of cinnamon can work wonders and has been proven to provide a much needed healing power to those stricken with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high levels of cholesterol. However, one thing to consider when taking cinnamon is that those with diabetes should always monitor their blood sugar levels. Because cinnamon can affect blood glucose levels, people with diabetes should carefully monitor their blood sugar and ask their doctors if their medication needs to be adjusted. Always consult with your doctor if you have any questions and before you engage in any home treatment if you have diabetes. If done accordingly and with your doctor’s knowledge, cinnamon can provide the healing power needed for those suffering from various diseases and illnesses. Of course everyone's body chemistry and situation is different. For some the healing powers of cinnamon may do little or not work at all but for others it works very well and is definitely a healing power to consider. Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've always wondered if it could be viral too, because no one has it at the same time in our house, but one after the other! Seems like if it was environmental or diet, they'd have it at the same time, being in the same place and eating mostly the same things. Except the one time they were on different vitamins - the vitamin definitely triggered a rash in my 2nd one. I tested it twice, and it happened each time. ________________________________ From: Bekele <bekeleelizabeth@...> Sent: Wednesday, March 4, 2009 11:55:19 PM Subject: Re: Re: Cinnamon My 2 NT children get the red ring around the mouth once in a while too. I've always thought it was some kind of virus going around school. It comes and goes away on its own after about a week. It may well be cinnamon in some cookies they had in school, who knows...will have to watch for that. > > > > > > > why not cinnamon??? > > - > > > > It's highly allergenic.
