  So many of us deal with allergies.  It’s like a plague that comes back over and over again.  Get too close to plants,, the wrong food, or your pets and the itchy sneezy feeling emerges followed up by the annoying drip drip of mucus in the back of the throat.  For many people this causes even worse health problems such as  unrelenting stomach problems, muscle pain, and undesirable spells of fatigue.  For some folks, something as simple as a bee sting, eating a peanut, or even having sex can bring about deadly allergic reactions.  But, why do some people have such harsh reactions to allergens, while others have little to no reaction at all?

  The underlying problem appears to be a hypersensitive immune response.   When your body comes in contact with certain protein antigens, your immune system can’t tell if they are friendly or not.  And as the immune system over reacts to the foreign protein antigen, the immune response triggers a plethora of unpleasant symptoms.  It is then that you find yourself fishing around the drug cabinet for something to help bring the problem under control.  And for a musician this can lead to a number of performance nightmares.  Imagine trying to sing with the post nasal drip constantly flowing.  Or, worse, you are trying to run a cool riff when your whole body breaks out into a spasmodic itch fest because the venue you are in is a breeding ground for dust-mites or other factors that contribute to triggering your immune system to over react?

  Is it possible to bring the hypersensitivity of the immune system under control?  Obviously, it must be possible, if some people don’t suffer from serious allergic reactions at all.  One of the first areas to focus on is stress.  It seems that more and more medical science is finding that stress effects nearly every aspect of the body’s ability to function properly.   Is there a link between a hypersensitive nervous response and a hypersensitive immune response?  Very likely.  So, it is probably a smart idea to start dealing with the problem of both by reducing stress and taking vitamin B supplements to help manage stress.  Something else I believe is a means to helping the immune system get back on track is to use probiotics and proteolytic enzyme supplements.  Probiotics help to replenish the digestive system with good bacteria necessary for keeping the immune system strong.  Proteolytic enzymes are a companion that helps the immune system to dissolve allergy causing protein antigens, as well as, providing other useful health benefits.  But, for those who are looking to take a more aggressive approach to controlling allergic reactions, liver cleansing might be just what the doctor ordered.  Many people report an amazing transformation after doing a thorough liver cleanse.  One of the common benefits reported is the elimination of allergies.  Could it be that an over toxic liver is what drives most allergy sufferers to be stuck with a hypersensitive immune system?  While most treatment options only address the allergy symptoms, the goal of liver cleansing is to address the underlying toxicity problem that keeps the liver from functioning properly.   And hey, you clean the outside of your body, right?  Why not clean the inside too?
