Allergy Effects On The Kidneys, Respiratory System And Stomach
By :
K Bakhru
The two kidneys are responsible for many vital functions. Briefly, they perform the complex task of extracting from the blood, used up proteins, minerals and other elements making up the toxic waste of the metabolic process. This residual material, together with waste water, is then passed in the form of urine, through to the bladder before being finally expelled from the body.
Your Immune System And Allergy
By :
K Bakhru
The blood is an all-important factor in the promotion of effective immune responses. A high blood viscosity brought about by stress, or lack of physical fitness, results in a breakdown of efficiency in the components of the immune system. When a person is physically unfit, overweight or stressed, the blood becomes clogged with cholesterol, triglycerides (fats), and various waste products. The fat causes the red cells to stick together with tiny particles called platelets, whose function is to clot the blood in the event of injury.
The Immune Response And The Allergic Reaction
By :
K Bakhru
The first phase of the immune response occurs when antigens enter the body, usually through the mouth, nose or skin. When this happens, inflammation occurs in the body and the immune system is stimulated to produce more white cells. The task of these extra white cells is to eliminate the offending antigen. If this is successful, the inflammation will subside.
The Masked Allergy And Symptoms
By :
K Bakhru
In effect, ecological illness is one large allergy. Most people today have it, to varying degrees. Within this general malaise, more specific allergies or sensitivities occur. Invariably however, exposure to the allergen does not produce an immediate or detectable response. Symptoms tend to be masked and therefore very difficult to trace back to a specific cause. For this reason most doctors are not able to diagnose a food or chemical sensitivity occurring as a masked allergy. Their lack of training, understanding and interest in this area compounds the difficulty in obtaining a correct diagnosis.
Causes And Symptoms Of Allergies
By :
K Bakhru
Whereas non-harmful substances are metabolized effectively and broken down into approximately forty essential nutrients, allergenic substances are not. They clog the bloodstream and lymph system and are absorbed by the tissues, where they can continue to accumulate until ingestion of allergens ceases. Even then it will be days, weeks or even months, before this accumulated toxic matter is slowly dispersed by the overworked kidneys and liver.

By :
