Allergies / Hay Fever

Why do some of us suffer every year, others have good years and bad years, while others never suffer allergies?
Allergic reactions begin when substances capable of beginning a reaction enter through your nose, lungs, skin or intestines. These substances are commonly thought to be pollen and foods, but they enter your circulation through leaky mucous membranes irritated by inadequately digested foods, synthetic chemicals in our environment, drinks or foods. Tissues also become leaky from deficiencies of vitamins, minerals and other whole food components.
Regardless of the source, all allergic reactions are a response by your body to the foreign substance. The body responds by sending antibodies to the rescue.
Antibodies are an important part of the body’s natural defense system and are produced normally by our white blood cells to help fight infection or toxins. These white blood cells make antibodies to bind with the foreign materials and then eliminate them. This is a great design!
To summarize the cause of allergies:

1. Nutritional deficiency can be the cause of allergies.
2. Poor digestion can be the cause of allergies.
3. Insufficient healthy bowel flora can be the cause of allergies.
4. Environmental toxins can be the cause of allergies.
