Allergy is a response by the
body's immune system to a substance that is not normally considered
harmful. Sometimes your immune system identifies an allergen as an invader and
the white blood cells may due more harm to the body than to the allergy
substance. Common allergic responses are: coughing, nasal congestion, itching,
fatigue, skin rashes, headache, and
hives. Many people are allergic to mold that is very common around the house,
work, or anywhere. Food is another common source of allergies especially: milk,
wheat, and even orange juice. Depression
can be caused by food allergies. People with allergy problems may also
benefit by doing a parasites and
colon / intestinal cleansing.

| Allergies also weaken the immune system and thus people may be
given antibiotics or they may choose alternative herbal products.
Allergies are hypersensitivity disorders of the immune system and so allergic
reactions occur when people's immune system reacts to what are normally harmless
natural things like pollen in the environment. A substance which causes this
type reaction is called an "allergen" the reaction to which are both
predictable and very quick. Allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and
is called type I or immediate hypersensitivity. Allergic reactions are
identifiable by causing excessive activation of white blood cells called
"mast cells" and basophils by a specific type of antibody that
is called Immunoglobulin E. This reaction results in an inflammatory response
that can range from being just uncomfortable to very dangerous. |

Mild allergies like hay fever are
very common in people and normally cause symptoms such as red eyes, itchiness,
and runny nose, eczema, hives,
hay fever, or an asthma attack. Note
that allergies can play a major role in health conditions such as asthma. In
some persons with severe allergies to environmental or dietary allergens or to
medication may result in life threatening reactions known as anaphylaxis. Food
allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees
are often associated with these very severe and potentially dangerous reactions.
Different medical tests exist to diagnose allergens and allergic conditions
which include placing possible allergens on the skin and watching for a
reactions such as swelling. Also blood tests may be done for an allergen
specific Immunoglobulin E.
The treatments for allergies include avoiding known allergens, use of
medications such as anti-histamines that specifically prevent allergic
reactions, steroids that modify the immune system, and medications such as
decongestants that can reduce the symptoms. Many of these medications are taken
by orally, though epinephrine, which is used to treat anaphylactic reactions, is
injected. Immunotherapy maybe used that uses injected allergens to desensitize
the person's body responses.

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
