Food Sensitivites: Is what you are eating best for you?
Over the past few years, there has been increasing awareness of many diseases and complaints that can be caused, or contributed to, by the presence of food sensitivities. Delayed food reactions can occur up to several days after ingestion of the reactive food, making it difficult to link one's symptom to the food eaten several days ago. Such hidden sensitivities are often the cause of many 'chronic symptoms.' In this seminar, Dr. Michelle Payne N.D. will discuss symptoms associated with food sensitivities, how to identify your food sensitivities and what to do once you have identified them.
