Awhile back in a post titled, Identification Please, I talked about my medic alert bracelet and what my inscription says. This is a list of what medic alert has on file for me “in case of an emergency”. A few months back, my doctor’s PA asked if a certain medication was okay for me. I couldn’t remember if it had been a problem before because my list is long. Years ago, when I was constantly being given something for all my maladies, I knew all that I was allergic/sensitive to without blinking my eyes. Time has passed and the list is less easily remembered. So, I just had him call medic alert and they immediately faxed him this list.

FOODS NOT ALLERGIC TO – After looking at this list and then the list of foods I was allergic to in the beginning you can see what I gave up and how hard it was to eat. It took about two to three months on the provocation/neutralization treatments to slowly get some foods back as long as I took the shots every four days. Slowly with this treatment and then later LDA, I gained foods that I never thought I would eat again.

FOODS ALLERGIC TO – after taking injections from the Environmental Health Center and now my LDA treatments – I have gained many foods back. I was so sick and my body was fighting so hard that it literally thought everything was the enemy. I lived in a hyper-reactive state for so long. My body still lives in this state but it reacts less violently to some things than in the beginning. Foods that I can now eat as long as I don’t abuse them or foods that I can eat after the two weeks following my LDA are shown in red below.
