Are you allergic to oranges? Try buying organic oranges instead.

If you have frequent cold sores, citric acid may be the culprit - and it's difficult to trace because it's found in so many products.

An easy way to tell is by muscle testing, or taking yourself to a good NAET acupuncturist and letting him or her test. If citric acid is the problem, a few acupuncture treatments should end it.

One caution: If you choose to test at home, be careful that you aren't testing for the wrong thing. Allergies are such elusive little monsters, that you never know what symptom will manifest, and the citric acid may be completely innocent.

Years ago we took a vacation to Mexico during the dead of winter. My husband had a cold, so started drinking plenty of orange juice to help himself get well. His cold got better, but his knees hurt so bad that he could hardly walk around sight-seeing. And my dreams of going dancing crashed on the rocks below our hotel.

When we got home he visited our acupuncturist - and found that it was the orange juice that ruined my plans for evenings on the town. BUT - it wasn't the oranges themselves. It was the pesticides used on the oranges.

Our doc said that eliminating the allergy was almost impossible, because growers use so many different poisons, and combinations of poisons.

The solution: when my husband gets a craving for oranges I make a trip to the health food store and buy organic.

Yours for good health,

Marte
