Dr. Chen Speaks About Dairy:
“The trouble with a dairy allergy, is that it often causes a wide array of delayed symptoms, for which there are currently no accurate tests. Therefore, this type of delayed allergy (Non-IgE mediated) can easily go misdiagnosed for years,” says Dr. Chen. Despite being told the contrary by several doctors, she has since helped her children overcome their allergies, by not only removing dairy but also all animal products from their diets. “Even though my kids have outgrown their dairy allergies, as a mom, I could never feed my kids a food laden with hormones and persistent inorganic pollutants, such as DDT, PCB, or dioxins, which are neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors. They can wreak havoc on our children’s developing brains, our hormonal balance (affecting future fertility), and they have even been linked to cancer. Organic animal products have been found to contain just as much pollutants as those that are conventionally farmed and therefore pose the same cancer risks. What we feed our kids today have a far-reaching effect on their health 10-20 years down the line. In order to stop the exploding epidemic of chronic diseases, we need to make sure we are feeding them foods that do not come with huge toxic burdens on their bodies”
