The Set up ...

I have decided to undertake a program called The UltraMind Solution, based on a book of the same name by Dr. Mark Hyman. It’s a six week program dealing with diet, nutrition, supplementation, stress management, and more.

First a little history:
Approximately 6 years ago, maybe more, I began developing extreme food allergies. Swelling lips and tongue, canker sores, itchy throat, difficulty breathing, sinus infections, migraine headaches, etc seemed to come on unexpectedly. I went to the allergist and had the normal skin tests and reacted to about 61 different items. At one time I was eating nothing but rice for a 3-4 week period. I finally narrowed the allergies down to most raw fruits and vegetables. From a medical perspective they call it Oral Allergy Syndrome and it seems to be a reaction to the pollens that the fruits and vegies cross-pollinate with of trees of which I have always been allergic to.

The miserable thing is that I can eat a candy bar and feel great and eat cherries and end up sick in bed. It seems a little mixed up to me.
