If a person is suffering from chronic or mild-acute allergies I usually suggest they try eating nothing but steamed or slow cooked fatty lamb or beef for at least a few days and a see if symptoms improve, then introduce vegetables one at a time.
As mammals, being allergic to mammal muscle meat and organs isn't compatible with life.
- druidcz 8y agoThat's not necessarily true. For example, humans do not have Neu5Gc[1] unlike most mammals. Having Neu5Gc antibodies is perfectly compatible with human life, yet consumption of lamb, pork or beef can cause inflammation.

- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoThanks for bringing this up, I wasn't aware of it.
- virtuallynathan 8y agoAFAIK, none of these studies have been done on humans.
- druidcz 8y agoThe popular article where I read about it referenced: [1] [2]. I guess it is a quite recent finding. But I am no biologist to judge.
