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.”<\/p>\n
Second, I have read that nutrient deficiencies can make you more sensitive to nightshades:<\/p>\n
“Nutrient deficiencies certainly come into play. For example, if you don\u2019t have enough magnesium, you will be more prone to calcinosis. Deficiency in vitamin D may exacerbate the problem. The speed at which one\u2019s liver and kidneys detoxify these compounds plays a huge role, and this is dependent both on genetics and nutrition.<\/p>\n
A key nutrient is vitamin K2<\/sub>\u2014Dr. Price\u2019s famous Activator X. I love this study on vitamin K2<\/sub>: The Effect of Vitamin K2<\/sub>on Experimental Calcinosis.\u00a0They gave rats calcinosis by giving them way too much vitamin D2<\/sub>. D2<\/sub>\u00a0tends to cause calcinosis anyway. What did they find? A high dose of vitamin K2<\/sub>\u00a0suppressed experimental calcification of soft tissues induced by vitamin D2<\/sub>. So if you want to avoid problems with nightshades,\u00a0be sure to eat goose liver, cheese, fatty grass-fed meats and pasture-fed butter\u2014and take your butter oil<\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
