Friday, October 14th, 2011

How many times have you heard “I’m sick, I have allergies?” It is true that if you suffer from allergies or allergic reactions, is not a “disease” and are not contagious, but is ill. Your body makes you sick and you’re like everyone else is suffering from a cold or flu, but is supposed to be a soldier. Although not entirely clear why more people now suffering from allergies in the past, damage to the chronic allergy of the body without knowing it.

May cause allergic reactions and chronic sensitivity (not a full blown allergic reaction, but an innate immune response), an inflammatory response, making it difficult for people to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Most research has recently shown that the negative effects on the body rather than inflammation. In addition, your body undergoes these effects is not a good idea. Allergic asthma or allergies, asthma can also wreak havoc on your body, so you can pursue activities such as exercise and healthy can be very dangerous for some people.

So what can man do? You can fight antihistamines, the body’s immune response, but this is not always effective long term treatment. Immunotherapy is the perfect solution if you already suffer from migraines, swelling, fatigue and joint pain. Did you know that a sensitivity to foods or the environment or an allergy? There are different forms of immunotherapy, including allergy injections and sublingual (under the tongue) treatments are used to make the body’s immune system against a particular allergen. Over time, the body is exposed to small amounts of the allergen, the immune system reacts and gets used to it. The hope is that finally, after 2-5 years, the immune system to react to allergens, even in large quantities. For some foods, avoidance of food during a certain period of time demonstrated that an allergic reaction to suppress inflammation and therefore the food you eat again.

New allergy test can pinpoint the specific allergen, even if you have not had a response or has been exposed yet. To find what you are allergic to the first stage in the fight against health problems caused by allergies and sensitivity caused by the feeling is the best block. An allergy test is always the IgG test, which the body produces antibodies in response to the actions of potential allergens. When the body produces IgE in response to a chemical food samples or the environment, the test shows that the level of reactivity to allergens. Another test is to measure changes in white blood cells when exposed to a substance, both in size and shape. With this test, the results of an allergy, even if the person has never before been exposed to the allergen. With the help of a doctor, an elimination diet and / or immunotherapy are prescribed to help prevent the allergic reaction.

Allergy tests can be taken to determine whether the allergic reaction after treatment are excluded. The elimination of allergy barriers can suppress inflammation, migraine, pain and the feeling of using a healthy weight. Take are allergies!
