What is allergy?

The term "allergy" is used to unnecessarily strong reaction in the body any substance coming from outside. Our body has a "system of protection against external aggression factor, which is called the immune system. Alien body substances, called antigens, are found inside, to provoke reaction of immune system that is beginning to produce antibodies to neutralize the antigen. This reaction is absolutely necessary, when the organism, for example, gets the virus. When allergy is the immune system begins to seriously respond to innocuous to the average person substances known as allergens.

This overreaction, or hypersensitivity cause chain reactions in internal organs and tissues of the body, in which inflammation occurs, but because of certain cells (called "mast cells") provided the substance - histamine, in turn causing clinical manifestations of allergy. These expressions may be different for different people, sometimes seen as a different disease.

Thus, patients with allergies - a person biologically sensitive to allergens, with some symptoms that arise from time to time, or existing permanent.

Why is allergy appearing?

Allergy - 21 century disease

Allergy is certainly not uncommon. From its various forms suffers from a third man, and in the past 20 years, the number of allergies is growing especially rapidly.

The international study (ISAAC) showed that the frequency of occurrence of allergic rhinitis is 20-25% of the population, and in the past 25 years, it has tripled.

The increase of allergic diseases, around the world, is explained by factors external environment, and change behaviors and habits. This explains why the frequency of allergy varies in different countries and even in different cities.

Some Allergy Questions

Q: I'm allergic to household dust, animal, tree pollen. Now the cat took a special breed, I'm allergic to this cat breed less, but still there. It does not want to give the animal and did not react to it all organisms. Apropos, but why, all the other allergy doctors refuse to utter a word about other method? For all treated only with medicines. How to treat allergies?

Answer: The symptoms begin literally removed at the first session (mortgaged nose, sneezing, etc.). The frequency of your employment depends on the dynamics of recovery and is determined by your doctor. With regard to your illness, it is necessary to limit contact with allergen (cat, in the first period of treatment). You'll see the interesting part - on the termination of allergic reactions to cat, you stop an allergic reaction to other irritants, allergens. Strengths home remedies method - fast performance, non drugs treatment, lack of side effects. Where are easier to send the patient to allergy tests, and then continually write a lot of drugs, only take off symptoms.

To date, cause of allergies so far scientists are not installed. Allergy is count as incurable disease. All treatment is aimed only at eliminating symptoms. The risk of any allergies is the possibility of moving the disease in bronchial asthma.

Q: From the sun on my body appears allergy as a red spot, then white and it’s itch?

Answer: One of the manifestations of allergy to the sun is – photo sensibility, which can occur in the skin reddening, rash, mini radiation burn, immediately giving a reaction to ultraviolet. The body suffers from the sun and immediately responds skin problems. Allergies - it «wrong» immune response to any stimulus from the external environment, and this state - always the result of metabolic diseases.

Methods of Hardening

All forms of training the body built on the "golden rule" - a gradual and systematic. With the gradual increase in strength and timing impact on the feet and body separate its functions are becoming more sophisticated and more resistant to environmental influences. If violated in the training course, it can damage health. When hardening can cause cold, but with hard use strong tactile stimulus - a violation of neural processes

Sometimes you can hear from a person who fails to comply with gradualism hardening when he went cold floor barefoot and ill.

There are many options for training: if a person easily catches cold, you should first walk in socks, and then barefoot.

Initially, walk barefoot on the room the morning and evening for 10-15 min, elongated daily walking for 10 minutes, and bring it up to an hour a day. After a month, go to the ground in the yard, gardening, outdoors, on grass, and with the onset of frost and snow days off the hoar frost and snow. Well make healthier walking barefoot on hard ground, on small gravel. Coarse skin on the feet diminishes pain and cold sensations.

After walking barefoot massage them with soles of the feet. Massage gastrocnemius muscle. If the process hardening succeeds, people can freely walk barefoot on ice and snow.

Along with walking barefoot well chill wash his feet and pouring water. When foot immersed in a wash basin with water at room temperature for a moment, then knead until fluffy towel feeling the heat. Duration foot baths a day increase for a moment and brings up to 10 minutes, reducing every 3 days the temperature of water by 1 ° C. After 2 months, the water temperature should be no higher than 5-7 ° C.

Pouring legs make way contrast hardening. Prepare two jar. In one pour hot water (about 40 ° C) and the other - cold (10-15 ° C). First purring hot water to the foot 1-2 min, followed by one minute - a cold. Finish shower procedure should be half a minute feet with hot water. Dry off and then carefully massage foot.

The temperature of cold water is gradually brought to 3-5 ° C. Elderly hardening need to start rubdown with a towel legs soaked with water at room temperature, lowering its temperature every day at the G S, and a week to go to shower or wash the feet. After this training you can walk barefoot, in keeping with a gradual and systematic.

S. Kneyp recommended handing walking bare feet on cold, wet rock, on the dewy grass, on snow, especially fresh, soft. Walking on the dew, useful and old and young, especially people from out of the nervous system (neurasthenia, neurosis, poor sleep, etc.). Walking should last from 10 to 30 minutes, after which you want to put on dry shoes and walk 15 - 20 minutes, according to Kneyp.

Walking through the fresh snow can last 3-4 minutes. Kneyp system is widely used in home and sanatorium conditions in many countries.

Children Hardening.

For the recovery of children of all ages are very helpful in all respects, walking barefoot, if only because it is preventing flat-footedness and foot deformities (curvature of the large toes, with subsequent negative manifestations of this pathology).

To achieve a good overall physical development of children and resistance to disease, researchers recommend that teach children to a systematic walk barefoot (home, yard, testimony and even in parks, gardens, on the street).

Start need in the summer, and then cool in time to continue a healthy exercise.

Young children tend to natural tendency to walk barefoot if they do not prevent parents, particularly on puddle after rain. Many people teach a child to walk barefoot, keep the habit for life and have no problems with flat-footedness, deformed feet, etc. In addition, they are less likely to get sick Cold deasese treatment.

It has been said that in all cases need to adhere to "golden rules" hardening - gradual and systematic. Children need to teach walking barefoot on the carpet first, but in the warm summer days - on the grass or hot sand.

Children 1 year and older who pass this course hardening, you can allow run barefoot on the painted wooden or parquet floor, and in summer, the grass or on the sand no more than 30 minutes a day and then gradually increase the time. Tempered in a way a child of preschool age can benefit from health year-round homes and into a warm time in the yard and walk without shoes. Useful after walking barefoot foot baths, with a gradual lowering of water temperature.

Since the foot reflex associated with upper respiratory track, children, like adults, it can be useful in conjunction with walking barefoot gargle and nose with water, gradually reducing water temperatures of 20 to 8 ° C.

For school-age children, are valid the same recommendation.

Senior seasoned students can also recommend a daily exercises in the air and daily hygiene scamper barefoot on the grass, snow, the ground, asphalt, etc., then useful to massage and exercises to warm the feet until redness and mild burning sensations.

During the period of acute illness all hardening contraindicated. It is important to learn to monitor their health - during hardening and take pressure pulse, respiration control.

Gradual rare pulse at rest spoke about the benefits of training and vice versa. We urge all care about their health and regularly use the walking barefoot - the oldest tool hardening and healing the body.

Recipe for people who are allergic to animal protein(milk, and others)

- My son adopt from mothers allergic to animal protein. The doctors prescribed a strict diet. Say it is not cured.
God forbid one grandmother health. She said about a son: «So it is man - you throw him this cold water! I'd iced water in the basin - ice to much »
Son was then 9 months, I put him on the bars in the bathroom, the woman fled into a far room, and that it poured cold water.
Reaction to the surprise of the son was normal. A week so we poured. And the son was able to drink milk, which he used to be allergic.

- Of course, I can not recommend that all such treatment.
The mechanism here - a challenge thermal stress that generates a huge amount of adrenal cortex hormones. And some children adrenal failure, and such cases are when children die.
And this is just a happy coincidence of circumstances.
Therefore, I strongly recommend to use it. Here, as they say - lucky, no luck.

And be warned, especially men from prolonged exposure to cold.
I have been cases of people after bathing in extreme conditions, a long exposure to cold treat inflammation testicle. This vulnerability to the impact of the strong cooling the body.

Common allergies and symptoms

Allergy - heightened sensitivity to the effects of some body of environmental factors, known as allergens.

The cause of allergies is the impact on the body of allergy. This may be not only drugs but also food, household dust, animal hair, pollen plants, household chemicals, cosmetics, cold, sunshine and much more. Will there be a man or not allergy, rooted in heredity. If one parent suffers from allergies, the probability of its occurrence in the child - 30%. Contribute to the development of allergies psychic and emotional overload, hypodynamia, poor nutrition.

A special group of physical factors such as heat, cold, as a result of which the body without the involvement of immune mechanisms can develop pseudo allergic reaction (pseudo allergy).

The largest spread classification proposed Djelom and Kumbsom:

1. Anaphylactic type. These include: anaphylactic shock, hives, pollinosis, a topic bronchial asthma, Bannister's disease, allergic rhinitis, a topic dermatitis (neurodermatitis).

2. Cytotoxic type: immune leukopenia, immune thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia and others.

3. Type Artyusa - damaged immune complex: exogenous allergic alveolitis; serum disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus; others.

4. Delayed hypersensitivity is the basis of the following allergic reactions: contact dermatitis, infectious-allergic bronchial asthma; infectious-allergic rhinitis; others.

The first three relate to the type of immediate allergic reactions, their effect after repeated exposure to allergen moving in the interval of 15-20 minutes to several hours. The fourth type of allergy - delayed-type hypersensitivity - develops after 1-2 days.

The flow. In response to the introduction of the body arise allergen-specific allergic reactions in the process during which distinguish 3 stages:

1. immunological stage - takes place the development of antibodies to the allergen, or lymphocytes are able to interact with them;

2. pathochemical - when re-enters the body of the allergen occurs a number of biochemical reactions to the allocation of histamine and other substances that cause damage to cells of tissues, organs;

3. pathophysiologic stage - actually clinical picture of allergic reaction.

Clinical and experimental observations have shown that over and the development of allergic reaction depends on the higher divisions of the nervous system (for example, increased flow of allergic diseases under the influence of negative emotions, the development of severe allergic reactions to a number of food allergens after craniocerebral injury, etc.) and Also on hormone of the body (such as improving the flow of certain allergic diseases during pregnancy, etc.).

In turn, patients with allergic diseases altered sensitivity to different environmental factors. For example, described increasing sensitivity in patients with infectious-allergic asthma, rheumatism, tuberculosis, brucellosis to adverse weather conditions. This is worsening the main disease, the volatility of heat, rocket-propelled vessels and other signs of autonomic dysfunction and central nervous system.

Allergies can manifest itself in different ways:
allergic rhinitis,
conjunctivitis,
atopic dermatitis,
bronchial asthma,
urticaria.

But at the root of all kinds of allergies is the single immunologic mechanism. When predisposed to allergies people faced with "his" allergens, then his body starts out in immunoglobulin E. The complex allergen-immunoglobulin E causes the release of histamine, which is the main mediator of allergic inflammation. Hence the long-running nose, itching in the nose, the urge to sneezing, redness and watering eyes, skin rash and itching of skin, shortness of breath.

Treatment. Alas, freeing patients from a genetic predisposition to allergies modern medicine can not.

The most common treatment for allergies is medically - antihistaminic use of drugs.

"Patriarch" among them is Dimedrol, which, unfortunately, has side effects. Patients appear drowsiness, dizziness, sometimes even headache and dry mouth.
In the 70's have antihistamine 2 nd generation deprived of the deficiencies and operating more efficiently.

Allergies to animals

This type of allergy distributed very widely and it can significantly degrade over its other manifestations. Pets are one of the strongest sources of allergens. Unlike what is commonly spoken, let us say that animals do not produce allergens - just wool is their excellent container.

Examples of animal allergens:

* Saliva (dogs, cats, horses, etc.)
* Urine (cats, dogs, small laboratory animals)
* Serum (of blood)
* Horny flakes (desquamated skin)
* Epithelium (desquamated skin)
* Excrement (parrots, pigeons and others)

The impact on the patient's allergy occurs when inhaled dust. Most frequent allergic to cats, but the most severe forms marked with allergies to horses and small rodents.

Everyone knows that cats are spending too much time on workaround. In doing so, they leave a large number of allergic saliva in your hair, saliva and then spread everywhere. Furthermore, when workaround cats scatters in the ambient air entire cloud of tiny drops saliva - they are literally "dispensers allergies!

In patients with allergic to dogs, she noted on any of their breed. Short-haired dogs with the same allergens as long-haired. Allergy birds are often indirect nature: develop sensitization not to peryam, and by parasitic mites in their mass.

Allergy reaction to dust

The number of dust in the house varies widely - depending on the location of the house, climate, time of year. Thus, in the rural house dust smaller than the apartment citizenship, and in the same house there is a difference between the number of bathroom and bedroom .

Invariably, only that any Web-dust - a comprehensive set of allergens, chief among them the house dust mites.

House dust mites

Pliers (Acarida) - tiny arthropods (like spiders), invisible naked eye diameter of the body - about 0.3 mm).
Two types of ticks found in house dust, can cause allergies: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae.
These mites feed mailed desquamated horny layer of human skin, which is the largest part of house dust.

Pliers found in beds and bedding (pillows, mattresses, blankets, etc.) - where people lose the largest number of horns scales in friction skin during sleep. However, only the horns flakes that mites are not enough. They live in symbiosis with mold microscopic fungi living in a mattress.

You will be interested to know that in patients with sensitization to mites is also allergic to their excrement, which by their nature are ideal allergens. In bed more mites than on the floor in the bedroom. One gram of dust from the mattress can contain from 200 to 15000 mites!

The body of a sleeping person can harden up to 20-30 ° C and further create humidity - ideal conditions for life mites, and mold, in which they live in symbiosis, which is fed.

Symptoms

Allergy home dust (actually, for ticks) are most often manifests itself in the form of asthma and rhinitis, rarely - conjunctivitis.

Attack begins when the patient wakes up.

The symptoms observed throughout the year, but patients feel worse in autumn and winter - when the humidity higher.

Classification of Allergy Diseases

1) diseases associated with immediate response hyper sensibility type:

* Anaphylactic shock;
* Bannister's disease edema;
* Urticaria;

2) diseases associated with slow-hyper sensibility reaction type:

* Fixed drugs stomatitis;
* Common toxic-allergic stomatitis (catarrhal, catarrhal-bleeding, erosion-ulcerous, German-directly-necrotic stomatitis, cheilitis, glossitis, gingivitis);

3) systemic toxic-allergic diseases:

* Disease Layela;
* Many shapes exudative erythema;
* Stevens-Johnson syndrome;
* Chronic recrudescent thrush;
* Behçet's syndrome;
* Sjögren's sicca [Mikulicz-Sjögren] syndrome.

Allergic diseases among children is now widespread, constantly increasing the number and severity of the current. This is, apparently, pollution emission, waste industry, the emergence in the home of many plastics, dyes and other substances that are allergens, and hence contribute to the spread of allergic diseases. The widespread and uncontrolled use of drugs also leads to an increase in allergic reactions. Increased sensitivity to the drug substance is often caused by an unjustified use of multiple drugs, uncontrolled receiving antibiotics, lack of knowledge physicians pharmacokinetics of the drug. In the occurrence of allergic diseases play a role of influence of climatic factors, heredity, general pathology of power, etc.

So, allergies - is pathologically increased and perverse reaction of the organism to certain substances antigenic nature, which have normal individuals do not cause painful events. An important role in the development of allergies is as nervous, endocrine systems, alimentary canal diseases, etc. The cause allergies may be different substances that are entering the body, causing the immune response humoral or cell type.

Antiallergic program

The decision of the World Organization for Allergies and the World Organization for immune(-associated) disease was declared the World Day to Combat Allergies, which took place on 8 July 2005.

Spring in the city! The time when the center of gravity - parks, squares, highlighted the warm sun benches - in general, places where spring through fresh herbs, kidneys on trees, timid and touching primrose.

Spring in the heart - this breath full-breasted in front of the new achievements, cradling the head of love and openness worldwide!

Spring - in the eyes?

This is already possible to understand in different ways ... someone - light and joy in sight, but someone - tears and mulligrubs ... that crosses all the beautiful moments, accompanied by a runny nose and hacking cough called "pollinoz." And wants nothing but to hide where spring does not suffice!

Indeed, one of the most "simple" way to fight allergies - avoid contact with allergen: go to places where bloom has not yet started or is already finished, try not to go out, especially in dry windy conditions, do not open the window and it is desirable to install purifiers air

But how is it a shame! - if we do not see spring, we may miss the entire life!"

Lost the charm of spring - a stumble on the startup. And there are so many plans, yet boldly built into the new year, fill a vital force that is now ... How great of us waiting!

So let's save our tears spring!

Pollinoz - allergic diseases caused by pollen and plants mainly characterized by acute inflammatory lesions of mucous membranes of respiratory tract and eyes. There are 3 current period pollinoz: spring, caused by pollen of trees and shrubs; year - cereal grass pollen, summer and autumn - weed pollen.

According to statistics, over the past 30 years, the incidence of allergic grown each decade in 2 times. If this trend continues - soon islands of greenery in urban areas will be no center of gravity, a zone of exclusion for the majority of residents ... Already prone to allergies and 40% of urban residents.

The reasons for increase in the number of allergy sufferers are numerous. This unfavorable environment and heredity, and increasing household chemicals, which facilitates our lives - but has a clear impact on health, especially our children. Whatever the cause, cure of allergy is difficult, therefore, the most common method of combating it - alleviating its symptoms. A lot of them can be very different - a runny nose, swelling nose, cough, shortness of breath, rash ... After all, strictly speaking, allergy - this is not one disease but a group of pathological states. This may be allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, eczema, bronchial asthma ...

A short history "long song" allergy

Allergy - a disease known long ago. Napoleon suffered from it, Ludwig van Beethoven, Antonio Vivaldi, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust ... and many other known and not so rich and famous, children and adults, men and women ...

But the treatment of allergy is a much shorter history:

* In 1906 the Austrian pediatrician Clemens von Perk first introduced the use of the term "allergy" (from the Greek "allos" - a modified state, and "ergon" - response).

* History Use antihistamine (antiallergic) drugs begins with 1939. The spread they were in the 60-ies. They are characterized by low duration and a large number of side effects. For first-generation drugs include suprastin, dimedrol, diazolin, tavegil, pipolfen.

* The second generation drugs antihistamine extension to 1981. They are comparable to preparations 1 st generation, but the possibility of using them in higher doses and fewer side effects make them more effective. The second generation drugs include kestin, ketotifen, gistalong, sempreks, klaritin, zirtek.

* In 1996, there Antihistamines third-generation drugs - such as erius, telfast. They represent the pharmacologically active metabolites of drugs II generation, and are less pronounced sedative effect. However, there remains the potential for such side effects as headache, drowsiness, nausea, fatigue, etc. In addition, less drug therapy - is artificial chemicals, which increase the burden on the liver.

Today Walsh Pharma SUA is a way to win without the help of allergic pharmacological drugs - antiallergic program! Its product - completely natural, time-tested:

Bioline Allergy (herbals extract) it is complex therapy of allergic diseases: pollinosis, bronchial asthma, multiple organ allergy, dermatitis and respiratory syndrome, year-round allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis in a combination with disbiosis intestines the Preparation is shown, how in independent, and complex therapy of allergic diseases. This preparation is indicated both as the independent and basic preparation, and for the complex treatment of an allergy, and preventive treatments during the periods of a supposed aggravation.
