Allergies are reactions caused by the immune system in most people as it responds to harmful environmental substances. It happens because of the body’s response to a range of different allergens, such as pollution (PM2.5), food, pollen, dust mites, animals, insect stings, medicines and more.
An allergy can affect any parts of the body. Allergic rhinitis, for example, affects the eyes and nose, while eczema affects the skin. According to some studies, food allergies normally affect the gut, skin, airways, lungs and sometimes the entire body through the blood vessels.
With slightly different underlying factors but still closely related to allergy, conditions like asthma affects the lungs and oesophagus.
Although most reactions are of mild to moderate severity which can be treated with antihistamines, some can have dire consequence and require immediate medical attention. The most severe allergic reactions are known as anaphylaxis. People with known severe allergies should have a contingency plan which normally includes an adrenaline auto-injector in cases of severe reactions.
A skin-prick testing or a blood test that checks whether their immune system has produced antibodies to an allergen can be done to confirm whether someone has an allergy. Once a person’s adaptive immune system has developed antibodies, it will remember the allergen as a potential threat and hence likely to mount a strong attack on future exposures. Clinical history and test results can account for one’s allergy trends.
In the case of food allergy, people are given food challenge once determine that the possibility of an allergic reaction is low. An increasing amounts of suspected allergy triggering food are administered to the person while being closely monitored for any signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Allergies are becoming more frequent in many countries around the world. According to the Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Association of Thailand, the rate of Thai children with allergies is as high as 30% and about 20% with adults. At present, there are 3-4 more times people suffering from allergies than there were 10 years ago.
Admissions into hospitals for anaphylaxis has doubled in the past few years and were several times higher in children under five years old within the same timeline. The trend shows that nowadays children are more susceptible to allergies faster than adults.
There are several reason that comes to mind when thinking of the possibilities as to why allergies are on the rise. According to Theconversation.com, here are some theories:
Decreased exposure to infections or microbes – or both – in early life could lead to an increased risk of allergy. This is commonly referred to as the hygiene hypothesis. Research shows that children who have close contact with pets or livestock and those who come from larger families are less likely to develop allergies.
Delayed introduction of allergenic foods, such as eggs and nuts, until later in childhood could also have an impact. Randomised trial for early life peanut consumption in a population at increased risk of developing peanut allergies demonstrated that exposure to the nut early in life is protective against developing the allergy. According to some studies, a child with a nut allergy only has a 20% chance of resolving it by the time reaching adulthood.
Different food preparation methods can also have an impact on allergies and the degree to which they invoke an allergic response. For example, roasting peanuts, greatly increases allergy possibilities while boiling reduces it.
Altered gut bacterial species due to low-fibre diets and widespread antibiotic usage may alter the body’s immune function and create an allergy.
Whether your allergy improves over time often depends on the type of allergy you have. While we have treatments for the symptoms of allergy, what we need to do as a preventive measure is to get to the root cause.
There is no such thing as a prefect test for predicting allergies, unless we expose the person to the suspected allergen. For now, we have Integrative Medicine to assist with the best curative path in managing this and at the same time adjusting the body’s immune system. Please find below, some of the available treatments:
Diet therapy helps to reduce the inflammation of the body. In naturopathy medicine, we use natural nutrients as part of our protocol. For example: Omega fatty acid, curcumin extract from turmeric and cassumunar ginger extract, which works extremely well in restraining inflammation caused by allergies. These natural treatments also have less side effects than when treating with steroidal anti-inflammatories.
Checking IgG immunity for food intolerance and refraining from foods that cause allergic reaction, stop allergies or symptoms without having to take antihistamines.
Reducing factors that affect the allergies, especially physical and mentally stress. Stress will cause adrenal fatigue and stimulate inflammation in the body. Refrain from alcohol, smoking, and nightlife. Many people get better when they adjust their way of life or turn to meditation.
Allergostop is a vaccine that reduces allergies and stops the inflammation process naturally. It is done by extracting anti-bodies from the body to make these vaccines and reintroducing them back into the body in order to boost white blood cells for resistance. The anti-bodies are extracted once but will be processed and stored into 25 infusion sessions for immunity treatment continuity.
Adjusting the newly boosted immune system and targeting the problem at source, with the help of the thymus gland. It acts as scanner for the T cell immune system to recognize diseases and at the same time knows the functions of the system. Disorder of the thymus gland will cause the immune system to go haywire. Therefore, attacking the cause by recovering the thymus gland will make allergy a thing of the past.
Treatments for allergies are necessary. However, medications might not be the right answer. At Absolute Health we emphasize on treating the problems from the root cause with non-toxic medicaments, lifestyle adjustments and minimizing any possible side effects for the best possible curative path.
Madhara ya mzio ni athari zinazosababishwa na mfumo wa kinga katika watu wengi wakati unajibu vitu vyenye madhara vya mazingira. Hii ni kwa sababu ya majibu ya mwili kwa aina mbalimbali za allergens, kama vile uchafuzi wa hewa (PM2.5), chakula, chavua, vimelea, wanyama, kuumwa na wadudu, dawa na zaidi. Madhara ya mzio yanaweza kuathiri sehemu yoyote ya mwili. Kwa mfano, ugonjwa wa pua unaosababishwa na mzio huathiri macho na pua, ilhali ugonjwa wa eczema huathiri ngozi. Kulingana na utafiti, mzio wa chakula kwa kawaida huathiri matumbo, ngozi, njia za kupumua, mapafu na wakati mwingine mwili wote kupitia mishipa ya damu. Kwa sababu ya sababu za msingi tofauti kidogo lakini bado zinahusiana sana na mzio, hali kama pumu huathiri mapafu na esophagus. Ingawa athari nyingi ni za kiwango cha chini hadi cha wastani na zinaweza kutibiwa na antihistamines, zingine zinaweza kuwa na matokeo mabaya na zinahitaji matibabu ya haraka. Matokeo mabaya zaidi ya mzio huitwa anaphylaxis. Watu wenye allergies mbaya inayojulikana wanapaswa kuwa na mpango wa dharura ambayo kwa kawaida inajumuisha adrenaline auto-injector katika kesi ya athari kali. Uchunguzi wa ngozi au mtihani wa damu unaoangalia ikiwa mfumo wao wa kinga umezalisha kingamwili kwa allergen inaweza kufanywa ili kuthibitisha ikiwa mtu ana mzio. Mara tu mfumo wa kinga ya mtu unapokuwa na antibodies, huweza kukumbuka allergen kama tishio la uwezekano na kwa hivyo huweza kushambulia kwa nguvu katika maambukizi ya baadaye. Historia ya kliniki na matokeo ya majaribio yanaweza kuelezea mwenendo wa mzio wa mtu. Katika kesi ya mzio wa chakula, watu wanapewa changamoto ya chakula mara moja kuamua kwamba uwezekano wa athari ya mzio ni chini. Kiasi kikubwa cha chakula kinachodhaniwa kuwa kinachochochochea mzio hupewa mtu huyo huku akifuatiliwa kwa ukaribu kwa dalili zozote za mzio. Madhara ya mzio yanaongezeka katika nchi nyingi ulimwenguni. Kulingana na Shirika la Allergy, Asthma na Immunology la Thailand, kiwango cha watoto wa Thailand wenye mzio ni juu kama 30% na karibu 20% na watu wazima. Kwa sasa, kuna watu zaidi ya mara tatu au nne wanaosumbuliwa na mzio kuliko miaka kumi iliyopita. Idadi ya wagonjwa wa anaphylaxis waliopelekwa hospitalini imeongezeka mara mbili katika miaka ya hivi karibuni na mara mbili zaidi kwa watoto wenye umri wa chini ya miaka mitano. Mwelekeo unaonyesha kwamba siku hizi watoto huathiriwa na mzio haraka kuliko watu wazima. Kuna sababu kadhaa ambazo zinakuja akilini wakati wa kufikiria uwezekano wa sababu ya kuongezeka kwa mzio. Kulingana na Theconversation.com, hapa ni nadharia kadhaa: Kupungua kwa mfiduo wa maambukizo au vijidudu - au vyote viwili - katika maisha ya mapema kunaweza kusababisha hatari kubwa ya mzio. Hilo kwa kawaida huitwa nadharia ya usafi. Utafiti unaonyesha kwamba watoto wanaowasiliana kwa karibu na wanyama wa kufugwa au mifugo na wale wanaotoka katika familia kubwa hawana uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa na mzio. Kuchukua muda mrefu kuanzisha vyakula vya allergenic, kama vile mayai na karanga, hadi baadaye katika utoto pia inaweza kuwa na athari. Utafiti wa randomized kwa matumizi ya karanga mapema katika maisha katika idadi ya watu walio na hatari ya kuongezeka ya kuendeleza allergies ya karanga ilionyesha kuwa kuambukizwa kwa karanga mapema katika maisha ni kinga dhidi ya kuendeleza allergy. Kulingana na utafiti, mtoto mwenye mzio wa karanga ana nafasi ya 20% tu ya kuondoa mzio huo wakati wa kufikia umri wa watu wazima. Njia tofauti za kutayarisha chakula pia zinaweza kuwa na athari kwa mzio na kiwango ambacho huchochea majibu ya mzio. Kwa mfano, kuchoma karanga, huongeza sana uwezekano wa mzio huku kuchemsha kukipunguza. Mabadiliko ya bakteria ya matumbo kutokana na lishe yenye nyuzi chache na matumizi ya dawa za kuua viini yanaweza kubadilisha utendaji wa kinga ya mwili na kuunda mzio. Kama mzio wako utapungua au utapungua, mara nyingi inategemea aina ya mzio unao. Ingawa kuna matibabu ya dalili za mzio, hatua ya kuzuia ni kupata chanzo. Hakuna mtihani kamili wa kutabiri mzio, isipokuwa mtu awe na mzio. Kwa sasa, tuna Tiba ya Kuunganisha kusaidia na njia bora ya uponyaji katika kusimamia hii na wakati huo huo kurekebisha mfumo wa kinga ya mwili. Hapa chini kuna baadhi ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu ya matibabu. Katika dawa ya naturopathy, sisi kutumia virutubisho asili kama sehemu ya itifaki yetu. Kwa mfano, asidi ya mafuta ya omega, curcumin kutoka kwa turmeric na ginger ya cassum, ambayo inafanya kazi vizuri sana katika kuzuia uvimbe unaosababishwa na mzio. Matibabu hayo ya asili pia yana athari chache za upande kuliko wakati wa kutibu na dawa za kuua uvimbe za steroidi. IgG: IgG ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga ya kinga. Kupunguza athari za allergy, hasa shinikizo la kimwili na akili. Mkazo utasababisha uchovu wa adrenal na kuchochea uvimbe mwilini. Jizuie kunywa kileo, kuvuta sigareti, na kuishi usiku. Watu wengi hupata nafuu wanapobadili mtindo wao wa maisha au wanapotafakari. Allergostop ni chanjo ambayo hupunguza mzio na kuacha mchakato wa uvimbe kwa asili. Hii hufanywa kwa kuondoa antibodies kutoka kwa mwili ili kutengeneza chanjo hizi na kuzirudisha tena ndani ya mwili ili kuongeza seli nyeupe za damu kwa upinzani. Antibodies ni kuchukuliwa mara moja, lakini itakuwa kusindika na kuhifadhiwa katika 25 infusion vikao kwa ajili ya kuendelea matibabu ya kinga. Ili kuimarisha mfumo wa kinga, na kushughulikia tatizo katika chanzo, kwa msaada wa thymus. Inafanya kazi kama scanner kwa mfumo wa kinga wa chembe za T kutambua magonjwa na wakati huo huo anajua kazi za mfumo. Ugonjwa wa tezi-mti wa thymus utafanya mfumo wa kinga usiwe na uwezo wa kujikinga. Kwa hiyo, kushambulia kisababishi kwa kuokoa tezi ya thymus kutafanya mzio uwe jambo la zamani. Matibabu ya mzio ni ya lazima. Hata hivyo, huenda dawa zisikuwa jibu linalofaa. Katika Absolute Health tunasisitiza juu ya kutibu matatizo kutoka kwa sababu ya msingi na dawa zisizo na sumu, marekebisho ya mtindo wa maisha na kupunguza athari zozote zinazowezekana kwa njia bora ya uponyaji.
