Hypoglycaemia is commonly found in people suffering from masked food allergies.
It occurs when the body does not have enough blood sugar.
If a person has eaten excessive carbohydrate, over many years, especially refined carbohydrate such as white flour and sugar, the pancreas becomes stressed to the point where it ceases to operate normally - a very common problem today.
These eating habits alter the normal, gentle production of insulin by the pancreas to that of rapid insulin output because of the excessive demands placed on it by so much carbohydrate.
The human body was simply not designed to deal with the excessive amounts of carbohydrate in our so-called civilized diet.
The pancreas becomes used to producing excessive amounts of insulin to cope with the large rises in blood sugar, brought about by constant carbohydrate ingestion.
Finally, it becomes overstressed and tired.
In this confused state, a small rise in blood sugar will often cause it to produce a disproportionate amount of insulin, resulting in low blood sugar and subsequent hypoglycaemia.
Connection between hypoglycaemia and allergy: This is of particular importance to sufferers of masked food allergies, which, invariably, involve many of the carbohydrate foods, often in the form of refined carbohydrates, such as cereal flours and refined sugars.
The need for these people to snack constantly or 'binge' on their favourite (addictive) foods, coupled with the probability that they have been excessive eaters of these foods for many years, makes them inevitable targets for hypoglycaemia.
During the phase of hypoglycaemia, the individual suffers from faintness, palpitations, nausea and excessive sweating.
In order to overcome these distressing symptoms, he immediately eats more refined carbohydrate, which in turn stimulates further insulin production, so that the symptoms then return.
Thus, a vicious circle becomes established, due to the demands made on the pancreas by the persistent ingestion of refined carbohydrates.
This would have been brought about by chronic, addictive, masked allergy to one, or more, foods, which is unknown to the sufferer.
Clinical ecologists can often relate the hypoglycaemic reaction to a specific carbohydrate, by the use of a glucose tolerance test.
This allows them to identify the offending allergen, which for years may have been causing untold distress and suffering to the person concerned.
Hypoglycaemia and poor nutrition American allergists believe that a drop in blood sugar can be caused by eating foods to which you are, unknowingly, allergic.
The reason being that internal stress is caused by any allergic substance.
Hormonal stress can cause a fall in blood sugar.
Studies in America have discovered that up to 90 per cent of American prison inmates have hypoglycaemia, resulting from poor nutrition.
This leads to severe psychological and behavioural problems.
Once diets are corrected, a dramatic improvement in attitude can result.
These people can be said to be the really unlucky victims of food intolerance.
Unfortunately, whilst some prisons are taking steps to improve diet, others are not.
Such a case is the Alabama prison which feeds inmates on hamburgers and other fast foods.
Arthritis and Allergy Many doctors have refused to accept that both arthritis and rheumatism, are either caused, or at the very least seriously affected, by diet.
Most people over the age of thirty, will notice a twinge or an ache somewhere, if they persist in eating something that is bad for them.
In actual fact, both rheumatism and arthritis are classic examples of masked food allergies at their rampaging worst.
There is a mass of evidence throughout the world to support this fact.
One example, in many, is research done during a three and a half year clinical trial, conducted by Dr D.
M.
Carroll of North Carolina.
In 300 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, 98 per cent were found to be severely allergic to different foods, and some to several foods.
The analysis showed 37 per cent allergic to wheat, 27 per cent to corn, 23 per cent to milk, 19 per cent to eggs and 12 per cent to tomatoes.
Once the offending foods were removed from their diets, they all showed marked improvement.
That is very conclusive evidence in one study.
The influence of arthritis on our society is significant.
In 1981, according to the Bureau of Statistics, it was responsible for 25 per cent more lost work time than industrial disputes.
It is known to affect 1,250,000 Australians, many of them children.
Common sense must eventually dictate that the diet and environment of these people, should be thoroughly examined for food and chemical intolerances.
At present the most widespread medical treatment for arthritis is the administration of large daily doses of aspirin, over a prolonged period.
Aspirin is made up of acetylsalicylic acid which is a salicylate derivative.
It is well documented that salicylates are a potent allergen, affecting many people.
Could this not then be a case of masking the disease with the very substance which is causing it? There is virtually no part of the body which may not be affected, either directly or indirectly, by an allergic reaction - particularly with respect to food and chemical intolerances.
It is important to understand that the effects of an ongoing allergic condition, on the body, can ultimately be catastrophic, by virtue of the cumulative effects over months or years.
These effects certainly go much further than the general, discomforting symptoms and can lead to serious degeneration and disease in major organs if allowed to persist undetected.
Unfortunately, few doctors understand that allergy illness affects the body as a whole.
This problem is well described in a passage from the Complete Book of Homeopathy by Michael Weiner and Kathleen Goss.
Yet perhaps the most destructive effect of modern orthodox medicine lies in the changes that have taken place between physician and patient...
The general practitioner (in the traditional sense) is almost a thing of the past, and each specialist treats only that organ system that comes within his area of expertise.
No wonder we feel that our doctors are not really looking at us as whole beings.
Common sense tells us that many symptoms appearing in different organs systems may be related - that they at least constitute a whole picture of our state of health.
Yet our trips to the doctor's office must often result in a sense of frustration when we feel that the specific organ-directed treatment we receive is not based upon the doctor's assessment of our entire symptom picture.
