BOVINE COLOSTRUM AGAINST ALLERGIES

To identify the most promising therapies alternative for the treatment of allergies and asthma, University of California researchers, thousands of research on the use of complementary and alternative medicine have to read. Since not meet the highest standards of papers, the team, they have challenged the conventional doctors, naturopaths and patients.

The researchers found that patients with allergies were more likely to be interested in changes in diet and dietary supplements. They therefore decided to investigate vitamin C, magnesium, and about a dozen other supplements, including red grape extract, American ginseng, Siberian ginseng, goldenseal root, astragalus root, silymarin, Bacopa, elderberry , Shilajit, moomiyo, thymus and bovine colostrum.

Also, they are investigating allergy fight against the potential of foods such as yogurt, Reishi and Maitake mushrooms, juice of wheat grass, various anti-inflammatory oils and - Attention, chocolate lovers - chocolate. Before you can have up chocolate, although that it might not be the chocolate itself, which is useful, but one of many previews.

Researchers are also assessing the mind, body therapies such as hypnosis, massage and biofeedback.

Until today there are some preliminary results attractive. For example, a small study showed that there were people who ate a cup of yogurt with active cultures daily Starter 25 percent fewer colds, and one tenth as many allergy symptoms. This supports the idea that the hygiene hypothesis bugs probiotics or "good" restore the balance of our gastrointestinal systems oversanitized could help.

Unfortunately, there was no notice of all important innovations were. Resist the establishment, implementation and evaluation of a particular treatment in a manner which may be the death of the notice of scientific review is a process that takes years.

Nevertheless, researchers are confident that some will prove to be treatment of first wins ultimately disappointing. Among the most promising candidates is the juice of wheat grass has chewed a rich mixture of pollen from the tall grass, the players of the West are often in movies cowboy. Now, a fixed point on a large number of bars wheatgrass juice is a rich source of antioxidants. Although the first attempts were disappointing, the researchers still hope there will be a strong allergy fighter.

In general, experts believe that people with allergies and asthma should not rely on one food or supplement. They say it is healthier for a varied diet, rich in antioxidant foods and adopt anti-inflammatory oils. Instead of swallowing the vitamin C and vitamin A tablets, for example, people with allergies and asthma may be better to eat more broccoli because it contains a variety of antioxidants and other anti-substances inflammatory.

Although alternative strategies can work wonders, say experts, is the goal that should not replace a complement to conventional therapy. Allergists are particularly reluctant to conventional therapies in patients with asthma to stop. It is simply too serious illness. Since uncontrolled asthma can be life threatening, doctors say he must comply with conventional therapies in the treatment methods are complementary and alternative introduced bridled.
