Food Allergies: A Path to Mama Nature and a Real Love of Real Food

When Baba  and I were blessed with the birth of our eldest son we rapidly entered and began the journey through the land of food allergies and over the years have been thankful for these travels.  I was a over thirty when he was born and  I was beginning to regularly experience seasonal allergies,  though Baba had endured allergies since childhood.   Both Baba and I knew what foods triggered these allergies and continued to eat these addictive foods.  When our eldest son arrived he carried the mantle of my eldest brother, who was allergic to peanuts and dairy. Our son's allergies went beyond as we soon discovered he was allergic to soy and eggs too.   I was thankful my husband and I came from a family of women who breastfed and our son loved to nurse.  With him I truly learned the power of breast milk as we slowly navigated our way though the introduction of solid foods.  Over the years, I learned to truly appreciate his connection to Mama Nature as his body is rhythmically in sync with the change of the seasons.  We as a family follow the seasonal calling of detoxing, cleansing, toning, strengthening...something our elders did not so long ago.  Baba and I have found that we can avoid allergies both food and seasonal if we drink plenty of water, stay away from processed foods and eat fresh fruits and raw veggies.  This journey has been one of finding our way to true health and wellness by looking back to the source of our original wellness. Though we do not use milk our son can drink local organic raw goats milk, and cheese. This is not surprising as I soon learned that goats milk matches up to the human body, is less allergenic and is easier to digest. Though we do not eat eggs he can eat local organic eggs from free range chickens.  We choose not to eat foods manufactured purely for profit or grown purely for profit.  As foods that are raised with the profit being health and wellness, can only give you back health and wellness.
