WHAT ARE ALLERGIES?

Allergies in Austin TX are an overreaction of the immune system to certain substances like dust, pollen, grass, dander, foods, etc. The body produces chemicals called histamines to neutralize these substances. These histamines, unfortunately, can cause symptoms such as sneezing, itching eyes, congestion, and other physical responses. Allergies are a symptom of the body’s inability to handle stress.

ALLERGIC DISORDERS HAVE DOUBLED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS

What causes allergies? No one knows for sure what causes allergies, they are likely to be an accumulation of multiple causes.

Causes of allergies are:

1. Subluxations: Subluxations cause nerve irritation which interferes with the way in which our immune system responds to stressors. These nerve irritations allow our immune systems to go on the attack. Cervical subluxations specifically direct the nerves to the mucous membrane of the eye, ears, nose, and throat. Subluxations are almost always found here in allergy sufferers.
2. Toxic Overload: We live in a world of chemicals in the form of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, PVCs, chlorine, dioxin, and many more. These chemicals are toxic in our bodies and interfere with our immune system.
3. Poor Diet: Lack of essential nutrients, high sugar (carbohydrate), processed foods, canned foods, dairy, carbonated drinks, etc., cause toxicity and overload the digestive tract and liver leading to impaired immune function.
4. Too Much Cleanliness: We have eliminated so many normal toxins from our world that our immune systems do not develop normally. When we are too clean, we deprive our body of the opportunity to develop a healthy immunity to the dust, dirt, bacteria, viruses, dander, pollen, foods and other normal substances a healthy immune system can adapt to.
5. Drugs: The healthy flora (good bacteria) gets killed off by antibiotics we take, antibiotics in the meat we eat, NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Excedrin, Tylenol, Aleve), Antacids, and other over-the-counter medications.
