Difference between allergy and intolerance awareness

What is the difference between allergy, sensitivity and intolerance? There is much confusion about these terms, and the whole subject is confusing enough without it. The "right", ie each of these terms is as follows:
• Allergy: This term is used by medical allergists designate the bodily reactions that involve the entire immune system, in particular, IgE (immunoglobulin, type E) reaction.
• Sensitivity: This term is used by environmental ecologists, scientists, doctors and many allergists to denote reactions body something different (especially the actions of white blood cells) that often have nothing to do with IgE, and in other parts of the immune system. (IgG reactions are used often.)
• Intolerance: This term refers to a food intolerance, characterized by a missing enzyme needed to digest food in particular. Common examples include the enzyme lactase, "which is needed to digest dairy products, and the enzyme needed to digest the beans. Both cause intestinal problems, especially gas from fermentation of food instead of digestion. Given that intolerance is not a real problem involving allergens, leave the definition here.
The first two – the allergy and sensitivity – are very similar in their effects. One or both can cause almost any symptom known by man. A partial list of symptoms known allergy / sensitivity is as follows:
• Head: Headache, neck pain, fullness, pressure or tightness in the head, dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, blackout. nose, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, puffy eyes, watery or irritated, blurred vision, excessive mucus formation, buzzing, popping or fullness in the ears, fluid in the middle ear, ear pain, hearing loss, sore throat, hoarse and weak voice, nausea, itching on the roof of the mouth, difficulty swallowing, mouth sores, excessive thirst, frequent yawning, sinusitis, increased sensitivity to light and sound.
• Chest: cough, wheeze, reduced air flow, tightness in chest congestion, shortness of breath, chest pain, pulse rate, palpitations, heart irregularities, sudden changes in blood pressure.
• Stomach: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating after meals, belching, passing gas, bloating in the stomach long after finishing a meal, pain or cramps abs.
• Skin: Hives, rashes, eczema, pruritus, sweating, flushing, cold, cold or hot flushes.
• General: Fainting, clumsiness, excessive drowsiness or sleepiness soon after lunch, muscle aches, cramps, spasms, weakness, muscle spasms, tics or spasms, joint pains, warmth or redness, back pain, neuralgia, swollen hands or feet, urinary frequency or urgency, vaginal itching, excessive hunger or binge eating.
• Mental: Schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity (ADD / ADHD), emotional instability or hypersensitivity, insomnia, chronic fatigue, crying Jaguares, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, apathetic, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly tense, restless, excited, nervous, behavior problems in children, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, poor comprehension, confusion, impaired attention, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, feelings of unreality, confusion, false beliefs or delusions, hallucinations, suicidal tendencies, feel like hurting myself.
NOTE that all the above brain problems "can be caused by an allergy or sensitivity. This is a very important point understanding of solutions to the problems of brains. " As a matter of fact, since the unconscious mind controls the physical body (including the immune system) all the above "symptoms" can be considered the brain controls. This leads to possible cures to the unconscious mind. This explains the success of both the Audience Bate training system and EEG biofeedback (AKA neurofeedback) and hypnosis. All are methods that have been used to train the brain.
Many of the confusion comes from allergist physicians failed to keep up on test methods of sensitivity. Many still use the obsolete "zero" test. Others are using the latest RAST (Radio-AllogoSorbent Test). Although the scratch test are sometimes sensitive to foods, as well as direct food allergies, is often confusing for these professionals. The RAST test to evidence of IgE, and most of the food and chemical sensitivities are not presented in this test all.
It is generally considered by "experts" on the allergy scratch test is only 75% accuracy, the RAST test is 85% accuracy on allergies and 20% accurate in sensitivity, and other tests to the sensitivities are around 80% accuracy. Both false positives and false are negative in all tests.
There is another important difference between allergy and sensitivity. A food or chemical sensitivity literally "turned off" and do not cause symptoms for longer if the food or chemical abstained from for a period of 3-6 months, and only eat once a week or so thereafter. The allergies do not die down, but tend to be a continuing issue for the victim.
As an example, I am sensitive to both soybean and peanuts, and allergic reactions to ragweed. I caused pain in my left arm, as tennis elbow, bursitis, and neuralgia. Peanuts cause rheumatoid arthritis in his hands. Ragweed causes rhinitis (hay fever). Living in Florida, I'm not bothered by ragweed as much as I was in New Jersey as a child. Of course, if the ragweed pollen is high, I may sneeze a few times but there is no real problem. Usually I can ignore it.
Peanuts and soybeans are different, as both cause real pain. I have to be careful about eating any foods that contain them. While I watch out, I am free of symptoms. "I can even eat a peanut butter sandwich once a week without any problems. But if I eat two of these a few days, my hands would be painful and tight. Before finding the problem, my hands were actually paralyzed, and my wife and I were sailing the Caribbean at the time on a sailboat that handles the necessary cable, etc.
There are many different tests used by allergists and orthomolecular or environmental ecologists. These are:
• RAST – as explained above – is used by more progressive allergist MD today. But since it does not appear sensitivities so many allergists just ignore them.
• Scratch – This is also used by many allergists but is considered obsolete by most observers scientists. It shows some sensitivity, but it is difficult to interpret.
• EFA – The test endpoint titration is perhaps the most accurate of all testing, and it shows both the allergy and sensitivity. It makes no difference, and has the advantage of not only the most accurate testing method, but also creates the "correct" dose of "corrective shots," as tested.
• cytotoxic test – This is a test for food and chemical sensitivities, and it also shows the food / chemical allergies, but not clear, and as the EPT test does not distinguish between them. It is now considered obsolete and replaced by the test ALCAT below. I use in my practice, however, with good results.
• ALCAT – this test is an improvement over the above cytotoxic test, and uses a similar method of observation of the white blood cells, but is much better with better precision. IgG – There are some services that test IgG the same way as the RAST test for IgE ago. This is supposed to find food / chemical sensitivities. I personally do not know enough about this technique to have a opinion.
• Test pulse Caveman Diet – This has a huge advantage over all others. IT'S FREE! Download this information:

While working at a laboratory in allergy at the beginning of the 80s, who coined the first law allergy or sensitivity: "There are no laws." Later amended to include "There are only some guidelines." Some time later, he coined another "law" for the allergy / sensitivity: "Anything you can do anything!"
Several techniques Allergy Cure
First, and most difficult, knowing exactly what is causing each symptom. Use any or all of the allergy test methods outlined above, or found in my book The Health Revolution shareware. " In the appendix section of my book, there are several very helpful allergy questionnaires (designed by Dr. Marshall Mandell), and lists of common foods that are often allergen.
In the pages of resources, there are sources for more information, including cross-reactivity, food and families. This "discovery" is the most difficult, since it involves a lot of detective work, keeping a food diary and the environment, and self-test.
Ok, now you have found you're allergic (or sensitive), what are your options to get rid of the symptoms produced by what is causing them? In fact, there are several options although some may or may not work for you as an individual. My first rule of allergy (and sensitivity) is:
HAY No rules. There are some guidelines, but remember that anything "Can cause anything."
Here are some options to really get rid of the symptoms of allergy / sensitivity:
1. Avoidance food, environment and chemicals that cause symptoms.
2. Subliminal Training
3. EFA-derived vaccines (endpoint assessment).
4. sublingual administration derived from EFA.
5. Chiropractic (including NAET).
6. Acupuncture.
7. Traditional vaccines an allergist MD
8. Homeopathy.
Avoidance is OK when it comes to specific food allergy / sensitivity such as shellfish or peanuts, but very difficult if common foods such as wheat or corn, or is an environmental allergies.
For cerebral problems, in particular, I recommend Subliminal Training. I have shown that this somehow way changes the brain's reaction to certain allergens. This theory of mine has proven to be correct in the tests in 2004. Since it is the least expensive of all clinical solutions that should be tried first. If it works, you've saved a lot of money.
EFA derivatives are much more precise shots, but they can even change time in individuals, so that their repetition is necessary, and can get very expensive. If money is no object, this is the best now in my opinion. Some people are "cured" completely with them – others may be on shots for many years or even forever in some cases.
The same applies to dose sub-lingual. The only difference is that vaccines are not needed. Dr. Doris Rapp has achieved excellent results for many years in the treatment of AD and even children autism in this way. (Check for his books in the reference section of the library).
traditional allergy shots are very imprecise, ranging from 50% effective much less. They work just to earn money for money, in general, allergists.
Chiropractors have claimed for years that allergies can be cured by spinal manipulation, and of course, have plenty of case histories to prove that assertion. The latest technique NAET seems to have a good success rate although I have no personal knowledge of it.
My problem with chiropractors (and psychologists / psychiatrists) is that they are trained to keep customers and back again, even when there is no need (except for the account of the doctor.) There are good and bad in all professions.
Acupuncture works, at least in terms of sensitivity to certain foods, as can personally attest BUT (why is there always a "but"?) if you continue eating the same foods too often, the symptoms recur. This happened to me. Acupuncture has worked six years for soybeans, but recently returned (On the other arm – is not that curious?).
Hypnosis and training Subliminal may seem quite far out, but in fact they both do work quite well, at least for some, if not most, people. Again, the results are individual. In my practice, I have had great success in the treatment of asthmatic children my relaxation technique. I do not think that allergy "trigger" was "cured", but a symptom of asthma was "disconnected" from it with success. In recent experiments with dozens of volunteers who suffer from many allergies, and many "brain problems", over 75% reported decreased dramatic symptoms of ADD to depression, and virtually 100% "cure" of insomnia and other sleep problems of all kinds. If we remember that allergies / sensitivities are caused by our immune system, and that the system is controlled by our unconscious mind, why not subliminal Training and even hypnosis is very effective? No doubt it is a conduit for the unconscious mind of the classes, and can be effective.
Homeopathy can be effective. Vi many allergy / sensitivity "Cures" by Dr Fred Yost Stuart Florida a few years ago. The problem is that he was one of the best, and few in this country I really get the resources of Germany as it did, so I can not comment on their effectiveness in the work of the allergy.
These are some of the current options. Always There are snake oil and other similar remedies that use the placebo effect also, and perhaps why most of these works over so well when they do. What will be most effective for you individually depends on your individual case, where you live, what you eat, what you do for a living, how much money you have, and many many more variables.
To really well again, you'll have to work hard and do research on your own. No doctor knows your body as it is (Or at least). Eventually, his health is better really depends on you.
tough cookies, but the way it is. Hope this helps you do.
Good luck,
Phil Bate PhD.
