Could You Be Allergic to Soy and Not Know it?

I never had a weight problem, always
ate everything in moderation, played
racquetball 3 times a week, and was
so uncomfortable for eight years! My
weight climbed from 118lbs to
150lbs! Blood work revealed nothing!
Doctors said it was menopause and
to increase my soy intake. I had soy
protein drinks for breakfast, soy
protein bars for a snack. And, a
healthy dinner (or so I thought).

In 2003, I developed a severe allergy
to soy (the anaphylactic shock type)
and spent 4 days in the ICU. Doctors
said it was food poisoning - it was

not! It was an allergy to soy! I had a soyburger for dinner the night before - and that
is what did me in! My body told me it had enough. I was lucky I did not develop a
thyroid problem!

By now, everyone knows that Oprah has a thyroid problem-she is a big promoter of
soy, and I believe that is what caused her problem. Did you know that Dr. Christiane
Northrup, author of "Wisdom of Menopause" also has a thyroid problem? She too
promotes soy - and counsels Oprah. Is this a coincidence?

The fact of the matter is, soy is in practically everything and it is nothing but a cheap
filler. Did you know that it may enhance the growth of tumors? What about the
problems with soy infant formulas?

There are many ingredients that you need to learn about because the label will not
always tell you. You need to know what to look for. It is in vegetable oils, natural
flavorings, cereals, and processed foods, just to name a few. Would you believe that
most canned tuna has soy in it? Why would you need it in that?

You may not have a severe allergy like me, but if you are experiencing any of these
symptoms you may have an allergy to any of the top eight allergens. The most
common allergies are Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Soy, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, and Wheat.

* Nausea, bloating, unusual weight gain
* Shortness of breath, dizziness
* Rash or hives, flushed face, red and itchy skin
* Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat and tongue
* Anxiousness, faintness, paleness, sense of doom, weakness
* Cramps, diarrhea, vomiting

I believe the time has come for all of us to ban together to make real changes in the
food manufacturing industry. The health of the nation may depend on the answers.
