How do food addictions and allergies work?
Q. I read that food allergies can become addictions because our bodies craves the food we are allergic to (some, not all obviously) and can lead to the addiction of that food. This is counter intuitive on so many levels lol So maybe I understood incorrectly. Can someone explain the link between food allergy and addiction? Is this pseudoscience or real? How does it work? Serious answers only.

A. I'm allergic to eggs, nuts, peanuts, and tree nuts and I've never heard of this. I'd say it isn't true because once you eat a food your allergic to it makes you feel so uncomfortable and bad that you'd never want to feel that way again. For example once I ate once of those really big Laffy Taffy and who knew those have eggs in them and the little ones don't. Anyway my throat swelled up and it was difficult to breathe. I don't think I'd become addicted to something that makes me feel that awful.

Does Auriculotherapy work for all addictions or JUST smoking?
Q. Hey guys. just wanted to know if any of you have any previous history or experience with Auriculotherapy . The zero smoke website has the new magnets that go on your ear for 3-4 hours a day. They claim that your smoking addiction will be gone, but i'm wondering if its the same for other addictions, or if it's simply for smoking. I don't mean like alcohol addiction, or weed addiction. I mean like pain pills, or sleeping pills...etc. It's a magnet that goes on the ear, and I'm wondering if it is supposed to work for other things too. Any ideas? Also, to the "It's all in your head" posters. please stop right there. I just wanted to know HOW many addictions this can help with. thanks.

A. I don't know about the magnets, specifically but auriculotherapy generally means ear acupuncture, which I know something about. I would imagine that the magnets are a substitute for the needles. Ear acupuncture is used for anti smoking therapy and it is commonly used to help people that are getting off of heroin. The idea is that it helps relax you and it does. It is wonderful for heroin addicts, but not used alone. When you say pain pills, if you mean opiates, then it is the same theory. Auriculotherapy will help a lot along with medical treatment. Don't try to go all natural with this if you are addicted. The acupuncture would be especially helpful along with a clonodine (medication to lower your blood pressure) treatment for… [cont.]
