Allergies and AutoImmune Dr. Steve Doughty

Today’s Schedule Principles: “Taste Tells Use” Drug Warnings Dealing with Allergies

Confidence Stick to the 6 Naturopathic Principles Trust your inspiration. Trust your taste.

The 4 Taste Tests Sweet vs. Bitter Salt vs. Mineral Hot vs. Cool (Pungent, Spicy, Acrid) Thin vs. Think (Astringent/Sour vs. Demulcent)

Sweet vs. Bitter Sweet foods turn off digestion. Bitter foods turn on digestion. Artichoke leaf tea before every meal greatly improves digestion and sleep Fragrant ( nasty) bitters Chapparal and Wormwood for amoebas.

Salt vs. Mineral Salt causes renal damage and electrolyte imbalance. Minerals improve bone, nails, skin and hair.

Winners for nutrition Red Raspberry – Women’s herb – has lots of iron. Oatstraw – Winner for general mineral. Kelp – Winner for trace minerals Alfalfa – My personal favorite (Follow your intuition!)

Hot / Pungent For people with pale tongues Ginger, Mustard Tries to get things out of the body Cleanser

Cool /Acrid For people with red tongues Echinacea, Mint Anti-inflammatory

Thin (astringent / sour) Boggy (mucus), atonic, prolapsed, allergic Sour shuts down mucus. Eyebright for head. Raspberry leaf for uterus. BEWARE OF TANNINS (i.e. unripe fruit) Witch Hazel externally for bleeding

Thick / Demulcent Ulcerated dry inflammation.
