Allergies are an Immune System Ailment involving unusual sensitivity to the action of various Environmental Stimuli (Antigens) and foods. Allergies are also caused by Eosinophils (specialized Cells of the Immune System) when they release Hydrogen Peroxidase at the site of the Allergy in an attempt to destroy what they “believe” to be Antigens.

Substances that may Cause Allergies
– Excessive consumption ofAlcohol (ethanol) may increase the risk of Allergie
– Many types of Lectins may cause Allergies
– Gluten may cause allergies (Gliadin of Gluten may be responsible for (Food) Allergies)
– Undigested dietary Proteins may become Antigens (usually due to faulty Digestive Systems allowing dietary Proteins to overload the Digestive System)
– Casein may be responsible for (Food) Allergies
– May some people are allergic to exogenous Collagen – Collagen Replacement Therapy is therefore unsuitable for these persons
– Candida albicans proliferation may allow Allergens to enter the circulatory system, causing Allergies
– Elevated IgE levels (which are often inherited) have been implicated in Allergies
– Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may cause Food Allergies
– Tyramine from food like (Cheese, Beer, Wine, Chocolate, Salami, Brewer’s Yeast, Lentils, Bananas, Pineapple, Raisins)  may cause
Allergies (due to Tyramine stimulating the release of excessive amounts of Histamine from Mast Cells leading to Allergic reactions).
toxic Effects of Tyramine
– Causing the release of Histamine from Mast Cells which leads to the Allergic reaction
–  May increase Blood Pressure
–  May cause Lethargy
– May cause Headache
– May cause over-stimulation of the Adrenal Glands (which may result in depletion of the body’s Norepinephrine reserves)
– May cause Migraines
– May cause Mood swings
– May cause  Depression
– May cause Anxiety

Allergies may cause those Ailments
– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
– Crohn’s Disease
– Celiac Disease
– Indigestion
– Ulcerative Colitis
– Duodenal Ulcers
– Otitis Media
– Eye Inflammation
–  Frequent Urination
– Cancer
– Fatigue
– Rheumatoid Arthritis
– Tinnitus
– Migraines
– Mouth Ulcers
– Autism
– Asthma
– Dermatitis
– Psoriasis
– Eczema
– Sinusitis
– Hives

Diagnosing Allergies
– History
– IgE Test
– Elimination diet/ Food Challenge Test, involves the elimination of specific Foods from the diet and then rechallenging with those same Foods,
observing the reiduction of Allergy symptoms. Challenge can be from 10 – 21 days.
– Radio-Immunodiffusion Test (RAST)
