Thank you for listening to The Radiant Mission podcast! We are on a mission to encourage and inspire you on your walk with Christ and as you journey through life.
In Episode 48 we discuss allergies with special guest, Dr. Vaughn. He explains the difference between seasonal allergies and food allergies, and how we can tackle healing from allergies.
Dr. Vaughn is a traditional naturopath and iridologist, focused on helping people discover the root cause of their chronic illness. Dr. Vaughn looks at health and the human body from a design perspective, helping people to understand the links between God, creation, health, sickness, and disease.
In This Episode on Understanding & Healing Allergies (Seasonal & Food):
Dr. Vaughn explains the difference between season allergies and food allergies.
Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made. And they’re always attempting to heal themselves. They’re always attempting to do what’s best for us. God created our bodies to help keep toxins and poisons out.
So, when we’re encountering something in the air and our body is rejecting it or saying that there’s a problem, there’s a reason. Sometimes the exposure is to something bad, something that shouldn’t be in our body at all. Other times it’s a seemingly normal exposure, like to cat or dog hair, dust, or pollen that we’re having an allergy to. This is typically because our mucosal system is congested, it’s blocked. This can also what we refer to in this episode as “blocked filters.”
The body is pretty amazing that it’s made up of thousands of miles of tubes. The cardiovascular system alone is estimated to be 60,000 miles long inside of our bodies!
The lymphatic system is twice as much as the cardiovascular system. So, we literally have tens of thousands of miles of tubes that get clogged up. We don’t think about this a lot until there’s a problem. If the body is trying to create mucus to get rid of something, do you think it’s a good idea to go to the drug store to buy something that dries up our mucosal system so that we can’t eliminate that mucus anymore?
These drugs are designed to stop what’s happening, not fix the root cause. What we’re stopping from happening is the body trying to eliminate something that shouldn’t be there. This can lead to longer-term, deeper-seeded issues in the body as we allow these things in our bodies that our bodies are trying to eliminate.
Partnering with God is actually taking things and doing things that help the body the eliminate the issue (not suppress).
There are so many things we can do. Cleanses are the first line of defense. A simple colon, kidney, or lymphatic cleanse can be what a person’s body needs.
The first place to cleanse is the colon, since it’s the main area of elimination of your body.
What’s blocking up our tubes?
Trans fats/hydrogenated oils are clogging up our pipes along with mucus, infection diseases, parasites, mold, and Lyme disease. These things are causing our bodies to be toxic, congested, and clogged up.
The allergy is a symptom. It’s a response of the body saying, “hey, I’m trying to get rid of this thing and I can’t.” Or, “this thing is not supposed to be here. Can you please help me get rid of it?”
We think of everything as bad. No, God is good and we need to understand what’s happening so we can partner with what God’s trying to do with our bodies. Allergies is no different.
What can we do to help with seasonal allergies?
There are a few herbs and things we can do to support our bodies when it comes to seasonal allergies. Dr. Vaughn likes Hello Blossom by Herbally Grounded. It includes herbs that helps with circulation in the head. So for the eyes, sinuses, and so on. The first ingredient is Bentonite clay. This binds the allergies and takes them out of the system. You simply take enough to have symptom improvement.
Clays help to bind and then eliminate things from our bodies. There is a natural antihistamine called D-Hist by Ortho Molecular.
Then there are cleanses. A colon cleanse would be first. Then a kidney cleanse. And then a lymphatic system cleanse.
Next, it’s important to clear the sinus area. Most of us have heard of or used a Neti pot. But there’s something even more incredible out there called the Navage. It is “the world’s only nasal irrigator with powered suction to flush out allergens, mucus, and bacteria naturally. It’s the easy-to-use, drug-free alternative to neti pots, pills, and sprays.”
Another helpful product is Sinus & Brain Steam Detox by Spirit of Health. It’s an herbal formula that you boil and steam over your sinuses. It kills infections and opens your sinus cavity, and helps break down that mucus.
Detoxifying your head is key to overcoming chronic allergies. Add to that cleansing your colon, lymphatic system, and liver, and seasonal allergies will be a thing of the past!
What can we do to heal from food allergies?
First, we explore the basics. What is gluten, casein, what is in nuts? They contain proteins. Undigested proteins getting through the colon into other parts of the body where they aren’t supposed to be is triggering a histamine response.
What’s going on in your gut and bowels? That is where this issue lies. In this case it’s about cleaning the colon and bowels. The gut is leaky.
What is leaky gut?
Your gut should not allow things deeper into your lymphatic system, your blood, or your organs that aren’t supposed to be there. They’re supposed to be handled, digested, and eliminated out through your bowels.
Dr. Vaughn is yet to find a person with a dairy allergy that does not have parasites. The more food allergies and food sensitives you have, the more chronic bowel problem you have and more likely chance you have issues with parasites, mold, fungus, and other infectious disease that gets in the bowels.
So, what causes leaky gut? It’s mold, fungus, parasites, and so on, that get into your bowel walls and open up pockets of your bowels that shouldn’t be opened. This allows toxins, poisons, and waste out into your bloodstream, liver, and other organs that trigger an immune system response. Your immune system is an army that’s supposed to protect you from things that shouldn’t be there, from foreign invaders.
Now all the sudden we have gluten, casein from dairy, peanuts, eggs, and other undigested proteins leaking through the bowel wall, triggering an immune system response. That’s a food allergy and how they differ from seasonal allergies.
Parasite Cleanses & Enzymes
Dr. Vaughn has seen food allergies healed time and time again with parasite cleanses. He recommends doing a colon cleanse and parasite cleanse together. Dr. Vaughn used enzymes to clear his own food allergy to red meat.
