How to Overcome Food Intolerances

Food Quality and Food Transformation (samskara):

For example, one may experience inflammatory reactions after drinking cold homogenised milk extracted from stressed cows. But non-homogenised cows milk, diluted with water, then boiled… this “lightens up” the milk: reduces kapha (mucous creating, congesting qualities), and makes milk more compatible for one to tolerate and enjoy.

Especially if a food item is hard to digest for you or triggers any health implications – those who are wondering how to overcome food intolerances need to obtain quality food and “transform it” the right way, then try & reintroduce.

Poor digestion (low digestive agni):

This is a key factor when it comes to food intolerances.

The agni is the digestive fire in your gut. If the agni is not enlivened enough, you won’t be able to digest properly the foods that you eat, especially the ones that your body is “intolerant” to.

In a lot of cases, it is not so much the food you are eating, but the poor function of your metabolic pathways and digestive health that impedes you to properly digest food.

I have worked with coeliacs and many managed to eat wheat again. They don’t eat it every day, but they enjoy this nourishing grain weekly in moderation with the right tools, knowledge and intuition of their own body. They enjoy high-quality wheat cooked fresh, reaction-free.

Those who eat even a tiny amount of onion and garlic and bloat like a balloon…

Those who can’t eat oxalates (e.g. almonds, spinach, peanuts, soy, beetroot, swisschard, rhubarb, cashews, sesame seeds, etc.) without swelling up, getting a runny nose, abdominal discomfort, or itchy skin…

A lot of it can be healed. And from what I have seen, it can be easy as organic ancient grain pie.

The Mind

Another key point.

It’s amusing and fascinating how many times I see patients that only after they get their “allergy prick test”, do they get reactions after eating the foods for which they tested “positive”.

When one unquestionably “accepts” the laundry list of foods they were told to avoid (in some cases, for the rest of their life!) their mind and body accept these “allergies” and reject the food whenever it comes.

There are many variables & possibilities for those wondering how to overcome food intolerances.

My general principle for healing food intolerances is – first fix the digestive fire (agni), then slowly introduce the foods in a methodical way.

Also take into consideration the nervous system, gut-brain connection, toxic exposure & more.

Just eliminating the food is not the solution. You need to fix the underlying imbalance. Because if you cannot digest wheat or milk, how are you going to digest the carcinogenic glyphosate that is being spread across the air and rain onto your organic kale? Or the vaccines and spike proteins that are being passed around. Or the external stressors, electro-magnetic fields & any toxin your body has to metabolise.

It’s not a matter of avoidance, but rather of applying the proper principles to reintroduce those foods that you have labeled yourself as “intolerant” or “allergic” to.
