Hello Erin and Parents with Children who have FOOD Allergies:
As Principal of an ALLERGY Services Company….. supporting YOUR Primary Care Physician with: Environmental and FOOD Allergy Testing, Custom Formulated ImmunoTherapy Vaccine ( Traditional Injection OR “KID Friendly” Under-the-Tongue DROPs and Custom DIET Plans based on Patients Immediate & Delayed FOOD Allergy Test Result,
May I Please offer the following thoughts:
Not that Parents already do not have enough to worry about….
While it is very Important to be aware & adjust to a Childs FOOD Allergy Profile.
It is IMPORTANT to Remember that there are TWO Sides to the Allergy COIN > FOODs ( Both Immediate & Delayed ) AND Environmental / InHalants.
BOTH play a MAJOR Role in what is called ALLERGY March.
1 of 3 INFANTs Begin LIFE Fighting Allergy Disease.
Medically > ALLERGY is Nothing To SNEEZE AT !
” UnTreated ” ALLERGY is a 24 / 7 / 365 a LifeTime, Progressive, Cumulative Chronic Disease.
In Infants who are Genetically PreDisposed to ALLERGY…
FOOD Allergy is the FIRST Emergence of the Progression of ALLERGY Disease ( 6-12 mo ). Manifesting itself via Eczema, GI Issues and Colic / Behavioral.
As Time moves on, the Infants FOOD Allergy May or May Not subside .. but it is REPLACED Now with Allergy to Enviro InHalants i.e. Dust, Mites, Cockroach, Animal. Symptoms include the Classic AhChooo / Respiratory.
What MANY Parents of FOOD Allergy Children Do NOT Know is that while they are focused on the FOOD Allergy Side of the COIN, the Enviro / InHalant Side festers / exacerbates / continues..
The Progression of ALLERGY March .. can quite likely migrate to ALLERGIC Asthma .. by age 6 or so if left UnTreated.
And Allergy MARCH Does NOT STOP with Allergic Asthma..
But rather continues it’s destructive path creating a LifeTime Slippery Slope of further Diseases, Health Complications and Severely Compromised Quality of LIFE ..
Not only for the Sufferer .. but EVERYONE they interface with on a daily basis ( OUCH !).
Recently, I asked a ClassRoom of FOOD Allergy Parents …
How many of their Children ALSO had Allergic Asthma … to which approx. 65% said YES.
The thrust of this comment is that the InHalant Side Can NOT Be Ignored / go UnTreated…
So What is a Parent to DO ?
Allergy ACTION Plan:
> Visit YOUR Primary Care Physician for an Insurance covered FOOD and Enviro BLOOD Allergy Test.
As we know, FOOD Allergy can only be addressed via DIET.
In this case BOTH Immediate & Delayed FOOD Allergy must be Tested For.
Then.. based on test Results .. a Custom FOOD Allergy DIET Plan is generated suggesting FOODs to EAT, Not Eat, Restrict & ReIntroduce . As well as other Great Helpful Info.
> With regard to Enviro ALLERGY…
the SAME Blood Draw taken for FOOD Allergy can be used to Test YOUR Child for the most common Seasonal & Year-round Allergens ( approx. 40-45) Specific to YOUR Geo-Region.
Then…
Your Dr. will Prescribe Under-the-Tongue, $ 1.00 / Day ImmunoTherapy DROPs.
YOUR DROPs are Custom Formulated, to what YOU Are Allergic TO based on YOUR Allergy Test.
YOUR DROPs are DRUG FREE and contain small traces of FDA Approved Extracts of your offending allergens… much like Allergy SHOTs of Old Days.
Slowly over Time, Extract Concentrations are increased.
YOUR Immune System is ReCaliberated…
Neutralizing the SOURCE of YOUR Allergy Disease…
Producing Lasting, If Not Lifetime Relief from Allergy Complications.
ALLERGY ImmunoTherapy is the ONLY Clinically Proven / Evidence-Based Methodology that Neutralizes the SOURCE of YOUR Enviro Allergy Disease.
Thus said…
It is Important to TEST / Identify / Know / TREAT >
BOTH Sides of Your Childs Allergy Coin.
Friendly Reminder:
In that ALLERGY Disease is Strongly InHerited …
It is NEVER to Late to STOP the Progression of ALLERGY Disease…
So Mom’s and Dad’s ..
make it a Family Visit to YOUR Primary Care Doc …
and …
Drop Your Allergies > Together !
Good Health
