I've found that being on a vegan diet helps, especially when I stay away from dairy, but I am interested to know more about how vegan diets diminish or eliminate allergies. Is is true that I could be allergy-free on a vegan diet within two years? Also, I have heard about major studies that show vegan diets are a major healer for asthmatics. I have allergic asthma, and I am allergic to airborne allergens such as dust, mold, mildew, pollen--along with shellfish (and reactions to sulfites).

I think it creates mucus in the body (at least that is my opinion). When he eats more vegetables I notice a big difference. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in veges/fruits help to build the immune system (these benefits are not available in animal products).

I go through far fewer Kleenexes now that I'm vegan (about 2 years). Also I haven't had a sinus infection or anything more than one minor cold since going vegan. It really helped! My cat still makes my eyes water if I touch them after petting him, and I sneeze a bit in the spring. But I don't take any antihistamines anymore. (As a kid I had allergy shots twice a week, so this is the best my allergies have ever been.)

One key reason is that animal proteins may incite inflammation throughout your body. Your immune system is provoked by foreign proteins, which includes animal proteins in your food. When you eliminate the animal proteins, your immune system can find healthy balance and functioning. Your body can then find its natural, healthy balance between anti- and pro-inflammatory forces. Chronic illness is reversed and your immune system will be stronger to fight microbes that may infect you. Fundamentally, the reason vegan diets wipe out allergies is the same reason plant-based eating reverses heart disease and high blood pressure. www
