5 Types of Allergies

If you're tired of allergies and want to begin addressing the underlying issues, then let me know as I can help you.

For now, here is some information about allergies that you might not know.

Type 1:

Those who have essentially only pollen allergies but the rest of the year feel reasonably well.

Symptoms: sniffing, sneezing, coughing and wheezing.

Type 2:

Those who predominantly have food allergies.

Symptoms: no seasonal symptoms, only varying symptoms whenever they eat a food to which they are sensitive.

Type 3:

Those who have chemical sensitivities.

Symptoms: varying symptoms from exposure to perfume, gasoline, fabric softener, tobacco smoke and other chemicals, but may not have symptoms from pollens or foods.

Type 4:

Those with a combination of pollen, food and chemical allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.

Symptoms: there are infinite numbers of symptoms and combinations, varying in severity from person to person.

Type 5:

Universal reactors – these people are described as ecologically/environmentally ill.

Symptoms: often have other health problems combined with their severe allergies and sensitivities to pollen, food and chemicals.

18 to 42% Accuracy

Clinical Ecologists are medical doctors who specialize in allergies, sensitivities and intolerances to pollens, foods and chemicals.

They often use words such as sensitivities and intolerances instead of allergies as many people can have subtle reactions such as one itchy ear, clearing of the throat, nausea, frequent urination, dry skin, a muscle ache, insomnia, weight gain or loss instead of the typical allergic reactions (hives, anaphylactic reaction, stuffy nose, puffy eyes, etc.).

Also, Clinical Ecologists have researched the different ways of testing for allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. According to their research, they found that the “scratch test” usually done by allergists is only 18 to 42% accurate and only checks for allergies, not for sensitivities and intolerances.

Blood tests which check for IgE antibodies (immediate reactions) or IgG antibodies (delayed reactions) are the most accurate tests for allergies (Allergy Types 1 & 2) but are not of use in testing for phenols or sensitivities and intolerances. As well, these tests are expensive, are limited as to how many things they can test, and are only done in laboratories.

Another form of testing that the Clinical Ecologists researched is Electro Dermal Screening which they found to be 80% accurate and a valuable way of testing for sensitivities and intolerances as well as allergies (all 5 Allergy Types).

The equipment used to do Electro Dermal Screening have names such as Vega Testing, Avatar Testing (Dr. Seliski’s equipment), etc.

As well as searching for and treating the underlying causes of allergies, sensitivities and intolerances, natural remedies and homeopathic remedies are available and are very effective in treating allergy symptoms without any risk of reactions with any medications prescribed by your medical doctor.

Dr. Robert Gardner, Ph.D. (professor of Animal Science at Brigham Young University and generally considered the father of modern phenolics) as well as other researchers, found that phenolic compounds, that occur naturally in plants, animals, and humans as well as in man–made chemicals, are involved in many chronic health problems.

Most phenolics are aromatic, meaning that they have a Benzene ring in their chemical structure. Phenolics give the flavor, color and/or odor to foods, environmental substances and man–made chemicals.

The use of homeopathic preparations of phenolic compounds to desensitize individuals not only decreases or eliminates reactions to them, they also have a longer effect. Phenolics were first used for desensitizing individuals with food allergies and allergies to elements in the environment (ie, seasonal allergies, dust, moulds, perfumes, etc).

Phenolics are present in many foods, therefore, people suffering from food sensitivities or intolerances may only partially improve when they just use the elimination diets and/or rotation diets. Therefore, homeopathic phenolic desensitization is used to assist individuals with multiple food sensitivities or intolerances. Also, as phenolic compounds are found in proteins / amino acids that degrade to form such substances as histamine, seratonin, tyramine and dopamine, desensitizing the individuals to the offending phenolic can resolve health problems related to imbalances in the individual's hormones and neurotransmitters.

Therapy for these types of health problems does not involve increasing or decreasing the amounts of hormones or neurotransmitters naturally present in the body. Homeopathic desensitization reduces sensitivity to these substances by neutralizing the body's immune reaction to the substance that is causing the sensitivities. It does not involve increasing or decreasing the amounts of hormones or neurotransmitters naturally present in the body.
