Principles of diet based on 20 years of medical know-how from a Korean Medicine doctor specializing in atopy!
The atopy diet is completely different from diets for lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and kidney disease patients. It is also very different a diet for growing children or the average person. This book is purely a dietary guide for atopic patients.
Atopy is affected by a variety of factors, including heredity, diet, environment, stress, and disease. Therefore, if atopy patients and their caregivers eat only one specific thing known to be good for atopy or apply it to the skin, it will only fail.
Atopy is a disease that improves by not eating a certain food or eating less. However, non-specialists make well-meaning suggestions such as to eat natural foods, eat a lot of fermented foods, or eat a lot of seasonal fruits. But there is no food that is good for atopy if you eat too much. Excessive nutrition causes atopy.
This book focuses on dietary principles such as the atopy diet, allergenic foods such as eggs, milk, and soybeans, and precautions when composing an atopy diet. It includes ways to properly control and manage various factors that impact atopy such as environmental issues, cosmetics, stress, diseases, etc.
Improving and restoring the immune system through diet is the answer!
The immune system of atopic patients is naturally more sensitive than the average person, but in many cases the problem becomes worse due to poor treatment and management. The solution is to reestablish the immunity of the gastrointestinal tract, which can accumulate waste from various excessive nutrients, repair the damaged skin barrier to treat the symptoms and, going forward, improve the systemic immune system. That's the reason why the right treatment and the right diet are necessary, and the fast and right way to get rid of the pain of atopy.
I hope, through this book, readers can become smart atopy patients who understand the disease properly and also hope this serves as an opportunity to strengthen the belief that atopy can be prevented to a significant degree by self-regulating immunity and, eventually, even cured.
