allergic reaction

To understand allergies means taking a look at what’s going on inside your body at the cellular level. It is more commonly understood outside the medical community that allergies are not a drug deficiency but are an immune reaction.

The same Immune system that fights off colds and infections also combat allergens, irritants, and toxins. You have one complete, multi-level defense system working nonstop to keep you healthy and alive. The difference between allergies and illness is that illness is a direct attack on your health, while allergies are an immune system overreaction. Everyone reacts generally the same to the cold or flu, but pet dander, pollen, dust, and food reactions are different for each individual.

Some of the reactions are tied to genetics. Some reactions are a product of the environment, and/or biological dysfunction. You can support your genetics and everything that causes allergies by improving your environment, food intake, mindset, and nutritional support, which changes the epigenetic expression of even a faulty genetic code.
The Cellular Overview of Allergies

Pollen gets in your nose when you breathe in. The built-in defenses in your nose, throat, and lungs sense particulate invaders. You sneeze and your nose runs but the pollen is still there. When pollen is in your throat, your throat gets dry and scratchy. The pollen in your sinuses causes swelling from the influx of histamine. Being able to breathe through your nose becomes a faint memory. Yet the person next to you may not have any symptomatic expression at all be subjected to the same pollens. How could pollen be so bad to you and not the person next to you?

Pollen is NOT the culprit or the enemy. Your immune system, more specifically how it reacts, is the problem. Pollen is harmless. How your immune system reacts to the pollen is what can cause the symptoms. Allergens are airborne or food particles that the body can’t break down to either get rid of or use. The person who is free of seasonal allergies has an immune system that calmly takes pollen in, breaks it down, and systematically passes it through their body.

Allergy sufferers have an immune system that doesn’t try to break pollen down. It reacts to destroy pollen, which causes the symptoms. The sneezing, itchiness, runny nose, and mouth breathing don’t need drugs to treat them. The true, long-lasting solution is giving your body what it lacks to break down allergens—natural allergy supplements. You also need to strengthen your body at the cellular level, so it is no longer hypersensitive to allergens.

Use Natural Allergy Supplements to Build Up Your Allergen Response Strength
Histamine is the buzz word when it comes to allergies. The truth is there’s so much more to it. Allergies are tied to digestive enzymes, probiotics, essential vitamins, minerals, EFAs and antioxidants. Your body needs a full nutritional arsenal to stay calm and carry on.

This country’s poor diet and heavily processed foods are taking a major toll on immune systems. Certain immune responses can be reversed. It’s important to give it a hand because it can become sensitized (the opposite of desensitized), and that’s the path to greater allergy misery. It just takes the right tools to create balance. Digestive enzymes help break down allergens that your body cannot break down on its own. Most allergens are carbs or proteins. So, when you provide your body with an army of protease, amylase and more, your body has the ability to utilize these digestive enzymes on the front lines to digest and neutralize the pollen and dust.

Over time, you can deplete digestive enzymes, especially if you don’t eat the right foods to regularly replenish them. This can lead to becoming more and more sensitive to allergens as you get older. Going back to basics is an important step to achieving optimal health. Essential vitamins and minerals play a role in immune function. Lacking just one vitamin or mineral can hinder the body’s ability in neutralizing allergens. The importance of your gut health cannot be overstated. So much about your health originates in your gut.

Allergic reactions are no exception, so your body needs probiotics to help avoid sensitivities and overreactions. Allergies can deplete your probiotic resources in your gut. There is a link between gut health and the number of T cells (immune response cells) in your body. The more T cells, the milder your allergies.  Proper diet and supplementation increase the T cells.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) play a very important role in increasing T cells and helping reduce and prevent inflammatory conditions. They are important components of the outer skin or membrane of every cell. They have been found to relieve allergy symptoms by improving respiratory function and are also essential in providing lubrication for itchy eyes and dry nose. EFAs have been shown to help balance the immune system and prevent allergies and are found in our natural allergy supplements.

Antioxidants provide the body with important defense mechanisms needed with allergies. Many antioxidants are involved in combating the damaging molecules that bombard the body every day.
