Allergies.

This is a huge topic and we have worked with many allergic people over the years, what has become clear is allergic disease states are a major worldwide problem. We have gathered a lot of information for this issue, so do read on, our special offer this month will give allergy suffers the chance to accurately assess those things in the home and pantry that are causing the problem, hope you find this helpful.

In developed nations, allergy is the most common cause of chronic illness, and in underdeveloped nations, the prevalence of allergy and asthma continues to increase.
Data collected from 22 countries and published in the European Respiratory Journal clearly demonstrate that lifestyle and a changing environment are to blame. 

Within our arsenal of treatment options are a range of herbs and nutrients that can make a big difference but of course it is always nice to try and get to the cause. Is the immune system weak or dysfunctional due to something missing in our diet or are we bombarded with so many "foreign elements" these days that our poor old immune system doesn't know what it should let in and what it should keep out?

Do supplements benefit asthmatic children?

In a self-placebo-controlled study to evaluate the role of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C and zinc, 60 children were randomly assigned to alternating six-week phases of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids (1000mg; 30% EPA/DHA), vitamin C (200mg) and zinc (15mg), either singly or in combination, separated with washout phases.
Conclusion: Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin C, either singly or in combination, significantly improved asthma control test, pulmonary function tests and pulmonary inflammatory markers in children with moderately persistent bronchial asthma.

Could Expectant Mums Reduce Infant Allergy with Fish Oils?

Here is another small study linking the intake of omega-3 with childhood allergy incidence.
The randomised, placebo-controlled study aimed to measure the effects of maternal omega-3 fatty acid supplementation during both pregnancy and lactation. The impact of this on childhood allergic disease was then assessed.

The pregnant subjects, who had either a personal allergic history, a partner with allergies or a previous child with allergies, were supplemented with 1.6g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1.1g
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or placebo, starting from the 25th week of pregnancy until 3-4 months of breastfeeding.

The incidence of IgE-associated eczema was 8% in the omega-3 group compared with 24% in the placebo group.

Conclusion: Omega-3 supplementation in pregnancy and lactation can decrease the risk of food allergy and IgE-associated eczema during the first year of life in infants with a family history of allergic disease.

Immune Effects of Herbs, Phytochemicals and Vitamins

There are numerous studies all confirming that basic nutrients such as Vitamins A, C, D and E and food elements including fish oils, antioxidants and bioflavonoids all can reduce the incidence of allergies significantly so when it comes to diet, once again most of us could be doing it better.

A significant number of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) have been shown to have a positive therapeutic effect on allergy and immunology. Below are just a few that we use and are available in a variety of supplements.
Curcumin(from Turmeric), Resveratrol(from red wine), Perilla Seeds, Bromelain(an enzyme from Pineapple) and Quercetin(an exciting bioflavonoid) all demonstrate an ability to affect changes right at the beginning of the bodies allergy response, this results in inflammatory mediator changes that lessen and in some case neutralise an allergic response.

A lady who had blocked sinuses and had been coughing for over 50 years was cured once she stopped eating wheat bran. Her intolerance to perfumes also disappeared.

50 years of asthma was gone after only 6 weeks on this programme. This lady reports that she can now run on the beach for the first time in her life.

A young boy’s badly inflamed tonsils and adenoids cleared once off paw paw and bananas.

A delighted father reported his A.D.D. child had gone from the bottom to top of the class, was sleeping and eating well and her behavioural problems had disappeared only six weeks into this programme.

Asthma, bloating, irritable bowel, nausea and migraines all cleared once off allergic foods. Patient also reported she was off all medications and had lost 9kg in weight.

A lady reported that her sinus and middle ear infections all cleared up when she removed olive oil, rice bubbles, mandarins, garlic, olives, chicken, baked beans and eye shadow.

So, I guess you get the idea and if you don't have any allergy issues yourself I am sure you know someone who does.
As Dennis from Be Allergy Free says, "there is no such thing as a bad food. Every thing we put on our skin and in our mouths has the potential for good or harm. This includes medications, supplements, personal care products and of course food and drink."

If this test sounds like something you could benefit from, all you have to do is let us know you would like the test and we can arrange it, even for those of you from out of town - or abroad, we can organise this test that could change your life completely.

The Be Allergy Free hair analysis information will be available from the website in future but for now contact us.
