The Importance of checking for Sensitivities to Vitamins

Sensitivities to Vitamins can lead to poor assimilation and therefore, deficiency of these vitamins within the body. Clearing these sensitivities allows the body to remember and choose to use them properly again, which allows the body to work, look and feel much better.

  • Vitamin A is important for immune system and is crucial for healthy mucous membranes and prevention of respiratory infections and skin eruptions.
  • B Vitamins are in most everything we consume. A sensitivity to B Vitamins can cause issues with emotional, physical and psychological well-being. B Vitamins are used to treat skin disorders and respiratory problems and can help to prevent colds and improve memory.
  • Whole grain allergies can be helped sometimes by clearing allergies to B Vitamins.
  • People who crave carbohydrates usually have a Vitamin B allergy or sensitivity.
  • Thiamin B1- can be depleted by excessive alcohol consumption. A person deficient in this B Vitamin might experience loss of appetite and weight, feelings of weakness and tiredness, paralysis, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, unfamiliar aches and pains, depression, heart difficulties, constipation or other gastrointestinal problems.
  • Riboflavin B2-is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. A person deficient in B2 may experience sluggishness, itchy, burning, or bloodshot eyes, sores & cracks in and around the mouth and lips, or a purplish inflamed tongue and mouth, dermatitis, oily skin, slowed growth, trembling, digestive problems & respiratory problems.
  • Niacin B3-helps improve circulation and reduce blood's cholesterol level. Niacin aids in metabolizing protein, sugar and fat. Increases energy through proper use of food, produces acid, metabolizes sex hormones, activates histamines. Helps maintain healthy skin, tongue and digestion. A person deficient in this vitamin may experience gastrointestinal disturbances, loss of appetite, indigestion, bad breath, canker sores, skin disorders or rashes, muscular weakness, fatigue, insomnia, vague aches & pains, headaches, nervousness, memory loss, irritability or depression. A lack of this vitamin might also result in respiratory problems (including asthma and chronic bronchitis).
  • Pantothenic Acid B5- is involved in the release of energy from the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and the utilization of vitamins. Defiencies can result in asthma attacks, muscle cramping, painful & burning feet, skin abnormalities, retarded growth, dizzy spells, weakness, depression, decreased resistance to infection, restlessness, digestive disturbances and vomiting.
  • Pyridoxine or B6-is necessary for the synthesis & breakdown of amino acids. It is needed by the Central Nervous System for the normal functioning of the brain. B6 aids in the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates, the formation of antibodies, and removal of excess fluid & lessening of discomfort during menstrual cycle. It aids hemoglobin, promotes healthy skin, reduces muscle spasms, leg cramps, and stiffness of the hands, helps prevent nausea and promotes balance of sodium & phosphorus in the body. Deficiencies can produce skin eruptions, loss of muscular control or muscle weakness, arm & leg cramps, fatigue, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, slow learning, water retention, anemia, mouth disorders or hair loss.
  • Cobalamin or cyanocobalamin Vit B12-is required for the formation & regeneration of red blood cells. Necessary for building genetic material, producing energy, maintaining a healthy nervous system and muscles, and metabolizing carbohydrates, fat and protein. It is important for the promotion of DNA synthesis, childhood growth, cell longevity, memory improvement, maintenance of the appetite and digestive system and strengthening of the immune system. Essential to producing insulation for the nerve fibers. A person deficient in B12 could experience pernicious anemia, degeneration of the spinal cord and nerves, poor appetite, stunted growth, nervousness, depression, lack of balance, neuritis or brain damage.
  • Obviously there are more vitamins to discuss here. My point is that basic nutrition is foundational to the body. The Vitamins and Minerals are so involved in the processes of the body. If there are allergies and sensitivities, it is essential to clear these so the body can assimilate the proper nutrients and thrive. Finding and clearing a sensitivity is a fairly simple, straight-forward process for most people and can easily be done by a practitioner that is trained in this.
