updated meHello and thank you for your continued interest in Naturopathic Medicine where getting to the root cause is the answer to a healthy life!

Are you suffering with allergies?  Did you ever wonder what caused them?  Most feel they are stuck with their allergies, not true.  There are many reasons underlying allergies, and hence ways to heal from them.  Here are the details! (I am not talking about the kind of allergies that can send you to the ER, I am talking about the other kind of allergies)

Enjoy!
Why do I have allergies and what can I do about them?

 

Why do I have allergies?

 

1) At some point there was an exposure to the allergen when the health of your mucus membranes of your eyes, nose, throat, lungs, or gastrointestinal lining was compromised.  This allergen then got through the protective layer into the blood stream, and caused a reaction - foreign substance alert!

 

Things that decrease the health of your mucus membranes:

  • Dehydration causing dry cracked membranes
  • Use of steroids or NSAIDS - aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen which cause the body to not make as much healthy mucus
  • Use of anti-biotics which kill the good bacteria in our membranes which is a part of our natural protection
  • Stress and adrenal fatigue 
  • Poor nutrient status (see below)

 2) The typical allergic reaction is due to an increase of histamine in the body.  When the histamine in the body is being produced faster than the body can get rid of it, we have symptoms.  Histamine is produced to set off the alarm in the body that there is a foreign invader that must get out!  Its a good thing then right? 

 

Reasons why my body doesn't get rid of histamine well:

  • Genetics.  Actually we can have biochemical pathway issues, thus making us have more histamine than others Are you one who gets red blotchy skin easily?  This could be you. 
  • Poor nutrient status.  It takes a symphony of vitamins to push these pathways, even if they are working properly.  Such as vitamin C, magnesium, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, thiamine, vitamin D to name a few.
  • Just have too much.  If you are eating poorly, have poor digestion, you could have such a build up in your body of histamine, it is just overloaded.

3) Inherited allergies, such as those in a new born, which seem to dissipate in time.

 

4) Heavy metal build up in the body.  High levels of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, barium, aluminum you can be born with and can build up in the body over time.  Heavy metals disrupt our immune system.  They block certain biochemical pathways so things don't work as they should.  One of the first clues one has heavy metal build up is allergies.  

  

So I have allergies, can I heal from them?

 

1) Can I heal from allergies?  Yes and No.

  • Yes, it is possible to lessen or eradicate allergies.  To do this, you must get rid of the cause, stimulate the body to heal by feeding it what it needs to have healthy mucus membranes, healthy immune system and nutrients needed to lower histamine.
  • Yes, if we can lower your overall histamine level, by cleaning up the diet, it is possible the allergens will not cause a reaction.
  • Yes, there is sublingual immunotherapy which helps.
  • No, means that you will always have the immunoglobulin's or allergy particles in your body.  Just to a much lesser degree.  So little that the symptoms aren't present.  As long as they don't get re-stimulated often.

 

What can I do now to help?

 

1) Supplements:

Quercitin - found in onions, stabilizes the cells that make histamine

Stinging Nettles - promotes the health of the membranes

NAC - helps to make the mucus membranes healthier

Bromelain - promotes healthy membranes

Buffered vitamin C

High dose B vitamins, in their absorbable forms

Test for Vitamin D which stablilizes immune system

 

2) Remedies:

Histaminum - a homeopathic remedy

Allium Cepa - also a homeopathic remedy (from onion)

Use neti pot daily

 

3) Foods to avoid

 

4) Sublingual Immunotherapy - (SLIT) - a new way to eradicate allergies, similar to "allergy shots" except without the needles.  Using sprays daily of tiny amounts of the allergens, in increasing dosages over time, trains the body to not react to the allergen.

      

TESTIMONIAL:  4 year old boy came to me who broke out in a rash all over his body when he pet his dog.  We ran a blood test through a standard lab (covered by insurance) and sure enough he was allergic to dogs.  We ordered the SLIT and after a month of taking the sprays daily, he no longer broke out when playing with his dog buddy.

 

5) Get tested and get rid of heavy metals in you body.

6) Call me for help, this can get complicated without guidance!
