To successfully treat and prevent recurrence of indoor allergies we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow indoor allergies to develop?"
Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind indoor allergies consists of three steps:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Hypoglycemia | 99% | Confirm |
Selenium Need | 28% | Unlikely |
Vitamin Pantothenic Acid Need | 20% | Unlikely |
Stress | 0% | Ruled out |
Food Allergies | 0% | Ruled out |
Increased Intestinal Permeability | 0% | Ruled out |
Candida / Yeast | 0% | Ruled out |
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Need | 0% | Ruled out |
Indoor allergies. Do you suffer when exposed to house dust, molds, animal dander, etc.?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Minor episodes now resolved → Major episodes now resolved → Current minor problem → Current major problem |
Histamine has several functions within the body. One is to facilitate an immune response to allergens, and another is to regulate available water. Dehydration causes histamine levels to rise in order to manage reduced water levels, but this increase in histamine also produces allergy-like symptoms.
