Allergies from a Holistic Perspective

An Allergy is a hypersensitive response of the body to certain substances called allergens. Allergens can be of plant origin, such as pollen; animal origin, such as dander (scales shed from the skin, hair, or fur of animals); insect origin, such as the stings of bees and wasps; or dust mites themselves. Dust, smog, smoke or some strong odors may also trigger allergies. Drugs like penicillin and cephalosporin evoke allergic reactions in sensitive patients.

Food allergies are also extremely common. Food allergies may vary from animal sources like eggs, milk and sea food, to plant sources such as eggplant, drumstick and wheat. Allergens can be inhaled, eaten, injected, or contacted by the skin. Essentially, the body's immune system initially does not react to the allergen and then overreacts to it, creating an allergic reaction.

Signs and Symptoms of Allergies

On exposure to the allergen for the first time, the body's defence mechanism produces an antibody called IgE, in large amounts. Under the influence of IgE, some cells of the body release a chemical substance called Histamine. Subsequent exposure to the allergen thus, produces responses that differ, depending on the tissue, organ or system involved. Most common symptoms include those of Asthma (a respiratory allergy with wheezing and breathlessness), Eczema (a skin allergy with eruptions, itching, oozing, etc.), and excessive secretion of mucus and muscle spasms.

Causes of Allergies

Although, modern medicine blames allergies and other chronic diseases on hereditary predisposition; homeopaths and naturopaths the world over, believe that every disease is multi-factorial in origin. Health, according to them, is a dynamic state of physical, mental, and spiritual equilibrium. Here, a homeostasis is maintained, in spite of the continuous influx of opposing or negative energies, because of their interaction with life perpetuating ones. These harmoniously orchestrated processes are so subtle, that they can hardly be perceived. In simple words, besides genes, lifestyle, diet, psychological state, and degree of exposure to toxins or irritants, all contribute to an allergic personality. Thus, it is the immunity at fault and not the allergen. In fact, observations show that in most cases, once an allergic disposition is acquired, the body gradually begins to react with hypersensitivity to more and more substances. Hence, it may be said that remedial measures must be directed at bringing the deranged immunity back to normal, rather than advising patients to avoid all the probable allergens.

The following is a list of probable underlying causes that set the background for the development of an allergy:

• Regular exposure to pollutants in air, food, water, etc
• Sedentary lifestyle, which leads to impaired blood-circulation and poor oxygenation of the tissues
• Lack of sleep
• Injudicious administration of vaccines and allopathic medicines, which are, after all, foreign proteins and chemicals that have the capacity to alter immunity
• Frequent negative or over powering mental states such as depression, anxiety, grief, fear, anger, irritability, despair, jealousy, etc
• Improper internal or external hygiene, including improper bowel / bladder / sexual habits and substance abuse in the form of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs

Antihistamines and low doses of steroids are usually prescribed to reduce itchiness, skin rashes, or respiratory discomfort. However, these allopathic measures do not include ways to expel the allergen or correct the underlying immune imbalance. Moreover, they are often accompanied by unpleasant side-effects.

Antihistamines are more than likely to cause sedation and drowsiness. A possible side effect of antihistamines may include learning disabilities or attention deficits in children. Steroids, on the other hand are synthetic prescription drugs that mimic the natural hormones secreted by the adrenal glands. They work by suppressing the body's immune system, blocking DNA formation as well as histamine production. Moreover, they only provide symptomatic relief and do not address the root cause of the problem. The main possible side effects of steroids include osteoporosis, cataract formation, weight gain, and increased vulnerability to infections due to a suppressed immune system. Ulcers, diabetes, increased blood pressure and blood glucose are other reported side effects.

Complementary Natural Care

Advances in natural medicine have now made it possible to develop therapies which retrain the immune system.

Biogetica's advanced resonance homeopathic products are believed to address these Allergies at an immunological level. Our focus extends beyond the physiological aspect of human health. Our kit contains Advanced Bio- energetic Allersodes as well as Homeopathic and Ayurvedic herbal extracts [Alclearize (Sarivadi tablets)].

Every single ingredient in every Biogetica kit has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural supplements and complementary therapies. We, therefore, prefer not to make any claims, but instead, point all Patients and Doctors to independent research and clinical studies that support their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines, in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.

In order to present this information in an unbiased and up to date manner, we simply show you Google Scholar search results of all scientific articles available on a certain product or an ingredient. If you do so much as read the synopsis of the research, the choice becomes clear. You can read and compare the results of drug studies and the results of studies on which Biogetica relies. We support you in your right to know and choose drugs or natural alternatives!

Allergies occur because your immune system is hypersensitive to certain stimuli. Biogetica's natural products are believed to not only work on a physiological level in an attempt to ease your symptoms, but they also work on an immunological level. The kits centre on advanced Bioenergetic Allersodes, and also contain other Homeopathic and Ayurvedic herbal products, which potentially work by: **

• Using advanced bioenergetic techniques to give your body information on the substances it is allergic to, thus teaching it optimal reaction to allergens
• Helping your body produce immunoglobulins, thus inducing lasting immunity against specific allergens
• Getting your glands, organs and secretions involved in allergic reactions to return to harmonic functions.

You have a food allergy, when your body’s immune system fails to recognize an ingredient of your food, and considers it a foreign body and creates antibodies against it. Allergic reactions can be manifested as itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion, shortness of breath and wheezing, vomiting, diarrhea, edema, skin rash, etc. An elimination diet is generally suggested for such patients. In the Elimination Diet, any food that is suspected of causing an allergy or intolerance is eliminated for a period of few days to few weeks, until the symptoms are gone.

An Elimination Diet includes hypo-allergic foods like rice, legumes, oats, almost all vegetables, apple, banana, pears etc. & non-gluten grains like quinoa, and amaranth.

Recommended Foods:

• Eat plenty of organic, green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Turmeric, coriander, curry leaves are excellent to balance the immune system
• Rice, legumes, oats.
