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)

Testosterone https://drsokhandan.com/testosterone/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=testosterone Wed, 19 Aug 2020 05:58:55 +0000 http://drsokhandan.com/?p=1866 Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and Anabolic steroid hormone and naturally occurring that produced by men’s testes. Men with high blood pressure may have low Testosterone as men with normal blood pressure. Low Testosterone may increase risk of type 2 Diabetes in men as Testosterone help blood sugar levels.

Substance Enhance the Production or Function of Testosterone
1- Amino AcidALC; (Acetyl-L-Carnitine) and Aspartic-Acid

2- Hormon
– DHEA; (Dehydroepiandrosterone) may increase the serum levels of Testosterone in men to levels equal to those of younger men.
– Insulin; May lower SHBG (sex Hormone Binding Globulin) levels (causing a rise in the quantity of “free”
Testosterone available for uptake into tissues).
– LH; (Luteinizing hormone) stimulates the production of Testosterone by the Leydig Cells of the Testicles.
– Progesterone; May inhibit the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (by inhibiting the activity of
– (5-Alpha Reductase), the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of Testosterone to DHT.

3- Essential Fatty Acid
– Omega-3 Fatty Acid; May stimulate the Leydig Cells of the Testicles to synthesize Testosterone.
– Monounsaturated Fatty Acids; May increase endogenous Testosterone levels.
– Phytosterols and Beta-Sitosterol; May inhibit the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone and Estradiol (by inhibiting
the 5-Alpha Reductase and Aromatase enzymes):

4- Vitamin
– A, C, D, and E

5- Minral
– Magnesium
Zinc
– Potassium
– Boron

Estrogen- Female Sexual Steroid Hormones https://drsokhandan.com/estrogen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=estrogen Mon, 17 Aug 2020 06:11:36 +0000 http://drsokhandan.com/?p=1807 Estrogen

Estrogen is the primary Female Sexual Steroid Hormones is responsible for the reproduction for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and produced in the Ovaries and (to a lesser extent in males) the Testes.

Estrogen may inhibit the rate of Bone loss that occurs during Osteoporosis by inhibiting the production of Interleukin 6 which in turn inhibits the production of Osteoclasts).
Estrogen may help to prevent Alzheimer’s Disease via numerous mechanisms. Endurance Exercise may reduce womens’ levels of Estrogens.

3 Type of Estrogen

1- Estradiol
– Estradiol is the major (most biologically potent) Estrogen produced and secreted by the female Ovaries (and produced in smaller
quantities in males). There are two forms of Estradiol (of which Estradiol 17-Beta is the most biologically potent).
– Estradiol (especially natural Estradiol used in post-menopausal Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT)) may help to prevent
Alzheimer”s Disease. Estradiol may help to maintain normal Brain function.
– May help to prevent Anxiety.
– may increase (female) Sexual Desire (by stimulating the endogenous production of Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) which catalyzes
the production of Nitric Oxide (NO).
– May inhibit toxic effects of Amyloid-Beta Protein to destroy Neurons
– High level of Estradiol (in males or females) may increase the risk of Breast Cancer (Estradiol strongly stimulates the growth of Breast tissue.
– High level of endogenous Estradiol levels (in males) may increase their risk of Heart Attack and Stroke.
– High level of endogenous production of Estradiol may cause Endometrial Cancer, Ovarian, and Uterus Cancer.
– High level of Estradiol levels (in males) may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
– Vitamin may reduce elevated Estradiol level (Choline, Inositol, E, and B6)

2- Estriol

– Estriol is a estrous,weak estrogen also known as (16 Alpha Hydroxyestradiol) and involved in pregnancy.
– May alleviate the Urinary Incontinence that commonly occurs in association with Female Menopause.
– May help to prevent Osteoporosis
– Estriol cream applied intravaginally, may alleviate Vaginal Atrophy.

3- Estrone

– Estrone come from the overies, as well as the adipose tissue and adrenal glands.
– Excessive production of Estrone (and impaired conversion of Estrone to Estriol within the Liver) has been closely linked to
(Breast cancer,   Ovarian Cancer, Uterus cancer, and Endometrial cancer).
– Excessive production of Estrone in men may increase the risk of Prostate Cancer.

Biological Function of Estrogens
 May improve Blood Circulation to the Brain
May inhibit the rate of Bone loss that occurs during Osteoporosis ( by inhibiting Interleukin 6)
May help to prevent Alzheimer in Post- menopausal women
May increase High density lipoprotein (HDL) and Low density lipoprotein (LDL)
May improve Memory
May help to prepare the female body for Pregnancy
May increase the moisture content of the Skin
May increase the quantity of Type IIICollagen in the Skin
May improve the elasticity and firmness of the Skin
May enhance the retention of Calcium in the Bones

Estrogens may Interfere with these Substances
May increase the body’s requirement for Vitamin E
May deplete the body’s FolicAcid levels
May interfere with Vitamin B6
May interfere with Biotin
May deplete Choline
May deplete the body’s Inositol levels
