I believe it is important for people who desire to take responsibility for their lives, including their health, to be as educated about the causes of their problems as possible. To understand allergies better, we need to understand their cause as well as some ways that allergies can manifest in different individuals. An allergy is an adverse immune system reaction to a substance that most people find harmless. This occurs when the immune system becomes stressed due to an overload of toxins. The immune system can also be weakened by hereditary problems.
Allergies can manifest in a variety of ways.
Common examples of an allergic response include headaches, fatigue, sneezing, and watery eyes. These are reactions that often follow exposure to dust, pollen, dust mites, animal dander, chemicals and other materials. Allergies fall into two categories, those caused by environmental factors, and those caused by food. Either type can result in a wide range of symptoms, and can cause or contribute to asthma, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, eczema, migraines and cluster headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, glaucoma, kidney problems, weight gain, seizures, heart palpitations, depression, and even cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, as well as other conditions. The most common causes of environmental allergies are pollens.
