will raw food enhance my immune system?
Posted by: jj2011 ()

Hi all,

After eating more than 3 weeks raw foods (90%), I began to have seasonal allergy symptoms (I live in New York and this is Beginning of August). I used to have seasonal allergy during October.

Will raw food make me more vulnerable? or is this normal reaction for the beginner?

Thank you.

Allergies stem from poor adrenal gland function, increasing raw foods generally helps due to being rich in vitamin C and other micro nutrients such as vitamin b5 which are essential for good adrenal gland function.

Of coarse it will help your immune system, and it is perfectly ok to have reactions whatever they may be, and allergies could be the effect. I have seen many different reations and people get discouraged, so don't. But make sure to not eat any junk while in transition so you can guage how you are reacting to all of it. Hope you are eating organic

I've been mostly raw for almost 3 years now and I haven't had a cold or the flu once... I have other issues going on with my digestion but that is sort of why i am raw but everything else... not a thing... and in fact when "flu season" strikes and people say "oh don't come to close to me I'm sick..." I give them a great big hug confident ... that is just what they need and I'll be fine. So in response to your question Yes!!!

love laugh and dream

Not really, though it may take some time for you body to adjust, during which period you may be more sensitive to things.

I think, if you haven't already, jj, it would be really helpful to use the SEARCH function on this forum to see older threads discussing this, and other topics. I found it sooooooo useful when I first got here! Good luck smiling smiley

There are many different parts to the immune system also and yeah foods provide critical nutrients and other beneficial phyto-nutrients and compounds such as polysaccharides which stimulate and modulate certain parts of the immune system.
