Click here for the complete information on Allergies
Allergies occur when the immune system inappropriately responds to a substance that is not usually harmful. The immune system identifies the substance (“allergen”) as an invader and the white blood cells begin to attack it; thus, the wbc’s cause more damage to the body instead of helping it. There are various allergic responses (such as asthma, hay-fever, and acne) and almost any substance can act as an allergen.
It is unknown as to why certain people have allergies to specific substances. Food allergies are common. Other allergies include: mold, additives, chemicals, animal hair, insect bites and stings, pollen, and some drugs (such as aspirin and penicillin).
The beginning of spring time for more than 40 million American children and adults brings allergic reactions. Allergies – just hearing that word can cause you to react negatively. There is a wide range of symptoms associated with allergies, the most common symptoms being: itchy, watery, or swollen eyes; stuffed nose or sinus congestion; sneezing; shortness of breath; headache; irritability; decreased energy; and immune dysfunctions.
Everyone in the United States is exposed each year to over 65,000 different sub-toxic and toxic chemical pollutants and over 200 different forms of radioactive isotopes. Toxins by definition stress your immune system and can frequently cause allergic responses. If the body/mind is pushed beyond its comfort range it may develop an allergy.
You might choose to suppress the symptoms by using antihistamines, cough-suppressants, and pain killers. These drugs interfere with your body’s natural self-healing processes. They coat your throat, suppressing a cough, but clog up your cilia hairs, thus preventing your healing process. They overstimulate the adrenals and sympathetic nerve response, yielding a false sense of well-being. They can rob your spleen and the rest of your immune system of energy, driving the problem deeper. Fortunately, there are many natural remedies that scientific research and long-term clinical experience with humans have shown to be generally safe and effective for both stopping the allergic response and simultaneously strengthening various immune processes.
A good high potency multiple-vitamin-herbal supplement daily and extra “stress vitamins” the water soluble vitamins B complex and C with bioflavonoids – may be taken to offset the extra strain caused by allergens, changes in temperature and humidity, and exposure to bacteria, viruses and environmental pollutants. Vitamin B complex is the great toner and balancer to the nerves and endocrine system. people with allergies may wish to take extra pantothenic acid, which can help your body produce natural cortisone that counteracts allergens.
If you take extra pantothenic acid, you should also take a full B complex either with it or a least during the same day. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is the cleansing vitamin and helps stimulate immune functions. One of the many benefits of vitamin C, besides detoxifying foreign harmful substances, is that it can act like an antihistamine in your body, thereby making your own naturally-produced cortisone work better.
Vitamin A/carotenes and fish liver oil will keep your mucus membranes/epithelial tissue strong and resistant, improving your body’s own defense mechanisms. Vitamin A carotenes protect the cells in your sinuses and your sensitive epithelial tissue throughout your body from attack of allergens.
Daily exposer to radiation, chemical pollutants, other physical stressors, the emotional stresses of modern life-styles, and even excessive athletic activity has caused an increase in many common and chronic immune disorders, including allergic symptoms. There are many herbs and supplements that are very well-documented by scientific research and clinical experience to help you strengthen your immunity, alleviate allergic reactions, and help generate optimal health.
