I mentionedthe other day that some foods make my leg ache -raw
carrots,apples and some others too.
I went to my complementary medicine doctor yesterday and told her
about it.
I suggested it sounded like an allergy becuase it happens when the
food has
barely reached the stomach.
she looked a few things up and we discovered that carrots, apples,
potatoes,
tomatoes, eggplant, grapes all have something called malvin. It's
common in
red, purple and blue fruits/veg.
Anyway, malvin is apparantly very allergenic and it can affect the
nervous
system. I have MS which is what the leg ache is about.
She gave me some homeopathic drops to desensitise me to malvin.
It makes a lot of sense and it's interesting.
I'll see how the drops go and I'll try to avoid raw carrot and apples
as
well as staying on the paleo diet.
