Because I have oral allergy syndrom is my immune system weak?

Question

for those who dont know
Oral Allergy Syndrome or OAS is an allergic reaction to certain (usually fresh) fruits, nuts, and vegetables. The allergy is not actually an allergy to food but a syndrome that develops in hay fever sufferers. The immune system mistakes the food proteins for the pollen proteins and causes an allergic reaction. Another term used for this syndrome is "Pollen-Food Allergy."

You are absolutly correct. Allergies are a signal by the body letting one know Im cant tolerate this or that (simple terms). You do need to strengthen you immune system with the following:

1. Distilled Water (i drink a gallon a day) to remove toxins from the blood

2. Exercise (to get new blood cells into weak areas of the body)

3. More Nutrition (product like Superfood on herbdoc.com) then you can imagine

4. Use the herbal liquid (not pills) enchinacha as an immune booster and healer.

More tips below.

Here are some ideas on how to heal the issue. You also need to learn about cleansing the body of toxins by doing a colon and liver cleanse to heal for long term.

Cause of Allergies
Overall, the underlying causes of allergy and sensitivity are dietary and lifestyle factors specifically titled as imbalanced immune function, barrier function default (such as "leaky gut" syndrome), and toxic overload. Each of these are, in varying degrees, responsible for the development and continuation of allergy and sensitivity.


Herbal Medicine: There are a variety of herbs that offer relief from allergies, such as goldenseal, red sage, and goldenrod. To reduce mucus, try astringents such as yarrow and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha). These help to contract inflamed tissues and reduce secretions and discharges. To strengthen immune response use echinacea, astragalus root, goldenseal root, and Pfaffia paniculata (suma or Brazilian ginseng). These herbs can be effective and safe for treating weakened immune systems.
Eating raw Garlic and Onions will provide relief as well. The more you use the faster the relief will come.

Cayenne pepper is a favorite herb among those treating allergy patients. The active ingredient is a strong anti-inflammatory, and it is recommend to allergy suffers, including asthma patients, as a simple and effective treatment. Sprinkling liberal amounts of the pepper on meals for a few days can provide relief. Or better yet eat them raw and sweat for a few minutes. Watch your sinus clear up quickly.

Although herbal remedies have shown excellent results in reducing allergy/sensitivity symptoms, using herbs to treat allergies involves an individual approach. Some particularly effective anti-inflammatory herbs are stinging nettle, Ginkgo biloba, and licorice. Chinese skullcap, ephedra, and feverfew are others to consider for treating allergy symptoms. Patients whose conditions are severe should consult with a trained herbalist or naturopath.

A major symptom of allergies is gastrointestinal upset, including bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Demulcent herbs can alleviate these symptoms (demulcent is a term used by herbalists to describe an herb that has a protective effect on the mucous membranes by minimizing irritation). The most commonly used herbs are marshmallow, slippery elm bark, cabbage juice, okra, fenugreek, and aloe vera.

Homeopathy: Homeopathy has widespread applications for the treatment of allergies. In many situations, minute diluted doses of the substance a person is allergic to can be prepared as a homeopathic solution that triggers the body`s natural ability to heal itself.

Homeopathic remedies are best prescribed by a competent homeopath. Self-diagnosis is discouraged due to the variety of factors that must be considered before the appropriate treatment is selected. However, the following remedies can be helpful: Ferrum phos, lycopodium, and silica.

Juice Therapy: A juice fast of organic vegetable juices for 2-3 weeks can help detoxify the body, thus improving its ability to cope with allergies. Two useful juice combinations for this purpose are beet, carrot, and cucumber; and carrot and celery. For added benefit, add a small piece of ginger root to either juice combination.

Best of health to you

Oral Allergy Syndrome Natural Cure

Answer 3

I used to have oral allergy syndrome also. I could not eat salad or most other fresh fruits or vegetables. Just getting the juice on my skin made me break out in a rash. You need to take a vitamin C with bioflavonoids every day.
I no longer have oral allergy syndrome. I had desensitation shots for my pollen allergies. After being on the shots for five years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away! Now I can eat salad for the first time in my life.
You may have a weak immune system due to an inadequate diet.

Answer 4

No, my friend, allergies have nothing at all to do with the immune system. You're confusing antihistamines with antibodies. And yes, you can "develop" allergies later in life. We all have allergies. But we aren't always exposed to what we're allergic to. It may half a world away. And we can have tolerances and be exposed over and over until we reach the limit of that tolerance and react to the allergen. So when you say you've never had allergies, that's not true. You've either never been exposed to what you're allergic to or you haven't yet reached the limits of your tolerance.

Answer 5

I just wanted to say regarding one of the postees on the list that echinacea has provoked a reaction in me because those with ragweed allergies can't take it. Also my allergist has said that my immune system is on overdrive and reacting to everything. I do think that exercise and water has helped me a lot. My doctor said that if you exercise too strenuously at first it can weaken your immune system and you will feel lousy. You have to take it slow and build up and that will stenghten your immune system and aid in detoxing etc.
