ALLERGOLOGY

Allergies are misdirected and pathogenic reactions by the immune system which are normally directed against harmless environmental factors. Many allergies can now be determined quite precisely through skin and blood tests. The specific diagnostic frequently opens the door to relief and healing. Most allergies are against the following substances:

• Pollen, animal hair and house dust mites

• Foods and food additives

• Medications

• Bee and wasp poison

• Chemical substances in the environment
