Did you know that the nutritional status affects the immune system? Read our latest review with Franziska Roth Walter and Carina Venter: Malnutrition and Allergies: Tipping the Immune Balance towards Health. J Clin Med. 2024 Aug 11;13(16):4713. doi: 10.3390/jcm13164713

Researchers in Japan have discovered how short-chain fatty acids, derived from dietary fiber by gut bacteria, interact with mast cells to regulate the immune system. This interaction could lead to the development of innovative anti-allergy medications, supplements, and diets. Mast cells are crucial in allergic reactions, making this research significant for allergy management.</div><div class="read-more"><a href="" class="more-link">Continue reading</a>https://lnkd.in/ePE__q_5

While traditional antihistamines offer a familiar solution, they primarily address the immediate effects of allergies – the histamine-triggered symptoms like sneezing and runny nose. At The Ozone Clinic, we believe in a more holistic approach, one that delves deeper to address the root cause of allergic responses: the production and release of histamine itself. We explore dietary changes (reducing histamine-rich foods, incorporating gut-friendly options), targeted supplements, and the use of ozone therapy to balance the immune system response responsible for allergy symptoms; reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of antioxidants. By adopting this approach to allergies, we aim to empower patients with long-term relief and potentially minimise the need for frequent medication use. - - - What are favoured functional approaches to managing allergies in your patients? #functionalhealth #functionalmedicine #allergies #ozonetherapy #ozonetreatment #allergens Laura Dinham

Biochemical and Nutrient Profile of Asthma Patients with Perceived Food Allergy in India: A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study. Recently published by Stanford CARE in the Journal of Asian Health, this study examined the biochemical and dietary profiles of asthma patients with and without perceived food allergies (FA). The researchers found that asthmatics often eliminate food items based on self-perception, which may lead to nutrient deficiencies and abnormal blood reports. There is a need to confirm FA diagnoses and develop an appropriate framework to manage FA in asthmatics. More studies are needed to estimate the association between asthma, food allergies, micronutrient deficiencies, and Body Mass Index.

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐄𝐒? ✅ Sneezing ✅ Runny nose ✅ Conjunctivitis ✅ Itchy nose ✅ Wheezing or cough ✅ Rash & itching ✅ Hives (a rash with raised red patches) Research suggests that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in supporting the development of the immune system and reducing risk of allergic diseases. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: 🤔 Certain 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 have been found to help allergic conditions by decreasing inflammatory cytokines and enhancing intestinal barrier function. So, if you’re struggling with allergies, it might be worth looking into how you can support your gut microbiome. Whether it’s through 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 supplements or by making changes to your diet, there are ways to help improve your gut health and potentially alleviate your allergy symptoms. - PMID: 37842889 - Study: https://lnkd.in/e72eb_k7 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬! 😊 #guthealthmatters #allergies #eczema #rhinitis #anaphylaxis #asthma #immunesystem #probiotics #HOPE #microbiome

With the right strategies and immune-boosting supplements like Spore Powder and Mycelium from #ORGANO, you can navigate spring allergy season with greater ease and find relief from bothersome symptoms.

Are you one that typically struggles with seasonal allergies or a "routine" sinus infection? 🤧 That can be a sign of.... 🥁 *drumroll please* ...gut microbiome imbalance! Optimizing your gut health can prepare you for the season ahead by boosting your immune system and driving down inflammation. If your inflammatory bucket is "less full" then you will have more capacity to deal with typical environmental triggers that cause you problems. Here are some tips for preparing for the upcoming allergy season: 🌷 Consume an anti-inflammatory/low histamine diet 🌷 Optimize your vitamin D level. If you are not sure where you are at, now is a good time to get it checked! 🌷 Consume raw, manuka honey (local is best). 2 tablespoons daily prior one to two months prior to allergy season is best. Manuka honey contains antioxidants, live enzymes used to fight allergies as well as boost the immune system. 🌷 Probiotics twice daily for two months prior to allergy season has been clinically shown to assist with improved microbiome and improved response to allergen exposure. 🌷 Vitamin E and vitamin C: both powerful antioxidants that assist with dampening seasonal allergy responses. If you are wanting to get to the root of your allergy problems, reach out! I would love to talk about how my approach can not only get you the answers you have been looking for, but help you to feel your best in every season in life! 💫 #functionalmedicine #holistichealing #seasonal #allergies #beelitehealth

Left untreated, food allergies and sensitivities can cause inflammation in the gut, erode the lining, open the tight junctions of the intestinal wall, and eventually cause systemic, chronic inflammation throughout the body, which can spark autoimmune and metabolic diseases. Whew! That does sound scary! We’re a functional diagnostic laboratory. We believe firmly in the ability of testing to shine a spotlight on hidden issues to get to the root cause of problems before they turn into nightmares. The point of dietary antigen testing is to unearth the triggers that are harming the gut and causing symptoms like brain fog, skin conditions, and cramping, and halt them in their tracks. The Precision Point Diagnostics P88 DAT tests for IgE (allergies), IgG (sensitivities), IgG4 (tolerance of allergens), and C3d (amplification of reactions) to 88 representative foods common in the diet. Identifying these food triggers and charting their relationship to each type of reaction paints a picture of the immunology of diet for each patient that guides a highly targeted, personalized rotation diet included with each patient’s report. Reach out to us and your healthcare provider to learn more and receive our test! No reason to be scared by food allergies and sensitivities when you can utilize the P88 dietary antigen test to shine a light on the darkness of hidden food triggers, and find the keys necessary to reemerge into health.
