DIGESTION, PROTEIN DEFICIENCIES AND ALLERGIES
By Salvatore Anthony D'Onofrio, DN, DD, Doctor of Nutripathy, Divinity
Nutripathy is a spiritual and scientific approach to health on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels through natural health principles. The primary focus of a Nutripath is digestion, assimilation and elimination. Most modern day challenges to one's health can be traced to a nutritional deficiency resulting from an error in one or all of the above systems.
By definition an allergy is a hypersensitivity of the cellular membrane eliciting a histamine response. An allergy may manifest a simple increase in white blood cells up to full anaphylactic shock, and may occur immediately upon exposure or as late as forty eight hours after the exposure.
The release of histamine from the mast cells which line the cell membrane is usually triggered by an undigested for partially digested protein (e.g. pollen, flesh food, animal dander, etc). The protein grains access to the cell via the nutrient pathways through the cell membrane. Under normal conditions, calcium ions emit an electric charge that repels any substance which the cell can not handle. Poor digestion can predispose one to insufficient calcium levels. The calcium in pasteurized milk is bonded by the milk proteins and is particularly hard to digest. Whenever a food or substance enters the human body and cannot be digested, mucus coats the digestive tract to protect it from the he "foreign invader". This is why most pasteurized dairy products are called "mucus producing foods." A child fed pasteurized mother's milk would die just as calves fed pasteurized cow's milk have died. Natural is best.
When the digestive system has been compromised via an inherited weakness, enzyme deficiency, friendly flora deficiency, protein and nutrient deficiencies etc., and thus develops develops a "leaky gut" syndrome. The digestive lining has "hole like" nutrient openings that are larger than normal and allow partially digested foods to enter the blood.
These partially digested proteins, even from good food sources (e.g. allergy free recipes), now become allergens, create more digestive disturbances and thus more deficiencies.
There exists a definite correlation between digestive insufficiency - leading to protein insufficiency - leading to leaky gut syndrome and resultant neurological disorders.
It is then obvious that digestion must be improved, via digestive enzymes, predigested protein (Sea-Cure), or free from amino acids. Liquid supplements and sublingual/trans-membranous administration may be the only way these vital nutrients may be absorbed.
Every case I have seen, from epilepsy to attention deficit disorders, has responded to various free form amino acid administration. In advanced cases, sublingual ingestion, thus bypassing the compromised digestive tract, is the only way to initiate the rebuilding of the "leaky gut", stabilize the immune system from overwork, and reduce the trauma of repeated allergic reactions. According to literature available from SEACURE, PO Box 13095, Reading, Pa 19612, even infants who were universal reactors were able to tolerate the product and reverse the protein deficiencies.
Protein is the essential component of our neurotransmitters, our immune system, the structural integrity of our digestive system. Deficiency in this most important nutrient must be corrected. Look to the digestive system. Has mucus been cleansed off the intestinal villi first? 85% of all nutrients are absorbed there. Is sublingual administration called for? Is there a sufficiency of digestive enzymes? Supplementation, even for infants, is sometimes necessary for awhile. Is there an easily digestible protein of high quality available in the diet? Free form amino acids from JoMar Labs 1-800-538-4545, or Sea Cures 1-800-555-8868. Is there emotional stability surrounding the child? Children do not have the adult coping skills acquired with age. They will pick up and act out emotional traumas for years that adults have with in minutes. There is no separation of any of God's parts. One affects all.
Cover all the bases at the same time. There is no magic bullet. Many have tried various approaches at different times. It often takes the synergism of many approaches at different times. No all wisdom is taught in one school. Perhaps this information combined with what you already have learned will make a difference in someone's life. Be well.
