First, cut out nightshades completely from your diet. Look for recipes that you like that have no nightshades, and get familiar with the various substitutions. Most people find that this is a bit of a lifestyle change. If you’re like me, you’ll actually find it liberating and exciting to finally be able to say, “No, I CAN’T have tomatoes/eggplant/pepper/etc. I’m allergic to it, and it damages my body and brain.”
Second, I have read that nutrient deficiencies can make you more sensitive to nightshades:
“Nutrient deficiencies certainly come into play. For example, if you don’t have enough magnesium, you will be more prone to calcinosis. Deficiency in vitamin D may exacerbate the problem. The speed at which one’s liver and kidneys detoxify these compounds plays a huge role, and this is dependent both on genetics and nutrition.
A key nutrient is vitamin K2—Dr. Price’s famous Activator X. I love this study on vitamin K2: The Effect of Vitamin K2on Experimental Calcinosis. They gave rats calcinosis by giving them way too much vitamin D2. D2 tends to cause calcinosis anyway. What did they find? A high dose of vitamin K2 suppressed experimental calcification of soft tissues induced by vitamin D2. So if you want to avoid problems with nightshades, be sure to eat goose liver, cheese, fatty grass-fed meats and pasture-fed butter—and take your butter oil.”
