I firmly believe that a good portion of food and environmental allergies
are, indeed, linked to the type of food that we as a society eat.

For instance; most folks with environmental allergies are encouraged to eat
local honey, providing of course that they are not allergic to the honey
itself. That way, they are able to build up a tolerance for those allergens
safely and naturally. Honey is a sweetener used through out history and
until the industrial age would be available locally  to just about everyone.

What do we do for children with ADD/ADHD? We cut all the artificial
preservatives and the red dye from their diet!
