There are many reasons for the increase in food and environmental sensitivities. The most obvious reason is that we are being exposed daily to more and more chemicals and substances that our bodies were never exposed to during evolution. Through thousands of years of evolution our immune systems learned to determine what substances were good for our bodies and which were poisonous. On a daily basis, we are inhaling and ingesting chemicals whose names we can’t even pronounce, yet assume our bodies will be able to determine if they are healthy for us.

Even our food sources are not as pure as they used to be. For example, soybean plants are now being crossed with almond plants to make the soybeans more lasting. It seems reasonable that soybeans may get some of the characteristics of the almond. As we know, nut allergies can be one of the most serious. Therefore, tofu or miso may develop more negative characteristics. Also, foods which have Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) have become part of the mainstay. You might be eating a tomato that has a fish gene added to it or wheat that has a pork gene to supposedly make them hardier and have less spoilage. If you are a vegetarian this becomes a problem. Hormones are being added to milk and cloned milk can be sold without labeling it as such. Nowadays buyer beware is an understatement.

Indoor inhalant allergies have increased in buildings constructed after the 1970 fuel crisis. The buildings are now more airtight to conserve fuel, but are also trapping in more chemicals and molds.

Allergies increase after traumas. Therefore as our culture continues to have traumas and stress, we will continue to have an increase in allergic reactions. Allergies can arise when a person is traumatized while being exposed to a specific food or chemical.

Dr. Karlfeldt uses many non-invasive energy based treatments to assist those who have food and environmental sensitivities. These treatments are designed to detect the causative factors for the sensitivities, reset the body’s allergy response, correct faulty responses, and retrain the body for future interactions with irritating substances.
