I have a few food allergies. One of the major ones is to citrus fruits. If I drink orange juice for just a few days, I get horrible physical allergy symptoms, with constant sneezing, red eyes, runny nose, flu like symptoms etc. along with psychological symptoms of agitation, etc.
Sometimes the allergy is less severe than others. About 2-3 years ago I could consume several quarts of OJ in a day without many issues (besides a bit of sneezing). Now, even a single orange has side-effects which last for many days. Obviously I think peat is on to something when he says the metabolic rate (the overall health) of the body determines how well foods are tolerated.
Despite all of this, I haven't been able to cure this allergy, or any of my other food allergies. When I was in my teens I could eat all foods without many issues, now it seems there are so many foods I don't tolerate.
Besides the general principle of raising the metabolic rate, are there any specific supplements out there which can "cure" or at least alleviate allergies? I read some articles on vitamin A being helpful, but don't know anyone who has used it for their allergies.
