Dairy Is A Common Food Allergen For Most People
Often people are reacting to dairy and don’t even know it. That glass of milk you thought was healthy could actually be setting off a hidden allergy, causing bloating, diarrhea, acid reflux, sinus infections, and even joint pain.
Eliminating or reducing dairy can make a huge difference in how you feel. That includes milk, cheese, butter, cream, sour cream, and yes, ice cream. If you (or someone you know) are experiencing any chronic health challenge, watch this week’s Wellness Minute to see if you might have a hidden dairy allergy.

Acupuncture has been proven to be beneficial to the immune system in numerous studies. One study published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2014 analyzed cancer patients after they received acupuncture treatment. The study found that there was a significant increase in blood cells as well as a decrease in fatigue after the acupuncture natural medicine treatment. Overall, the study concluded acupuncture can boost the immune system and increase immune cells. Another study published in Evidence- Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that acupuncture has been reported to improve symptoms of allergies, which is an abnormal immune response. The study concluded that for the patients tested, there was evidence that acupuncture treatment helped lower inflammatory properties in the body to alleviate symptoms.
Acupuncture is a valuable tool to help alleviate symptoms and encourage the body to function normally. Offending allergens (dust, pollen, trees, grass, pet dander, etc.) cause our body’s immune system to overreact, overproducing neutralizing chemicals to correct the problem. Uncomfortable symptoms include headaches, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, cough, and itchy eyes. Acupuncture helps the body balance itself to adapt to the changing environment, encouraging the body to function optimally.
