While individual genetics, age, environment, and overall health combine to create allergic reactions, increasing worldwide pollution coupled with overcrowding, contaminated water and food, and indoor air contaminants overload the immune system and intensify allergic symptoms. Escalating levels of pollutants often build up in the body, exceeding and incapacitating the body’s natural detoxification capabilities. When this happens, common indoor air contaminants from synthetic cleaning agents and synthetic colognes, perfumes, body care products, and air fresheners further infiltrate and damage delicate immune pathways. Detoxification mechanisms become exhausted of nutrient reserves of precursor/co-factors nutrients needed by the liver to keep the lymphatic system and immune system from being overloaded and incapacitated. In an attempt to guard the body against this toxic overload, the immune system stimulates the release of a number of inflammatory chemicals, including histamine.

Between 15 and 37% of the American population consider themselves sensitive or allergic to chemicals, car exhaust, tobacco smoke, air fresheners, and the scents of many common household cleaning agents and body care products. Some allergic individuals have to contend with headaches, seizures, fainting, dizziness, extreme fatigue, muscle or joint pain, asthma, sinusitis, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, maldigestion, depression, and anxiety or panic attacks when they are exposed to a potential allergen.

There seems to be a higher prevalence of complex, multisystem disorders in allergic individuals as many end up with fibromylagia or leaky gut syndrome at some point in their life. And since many inflammatory disorders such as fibromylagia involve the excess storage of toxins in the joints and connective tissue the allergic connection to disorders of human toxicity makes perfect sense. In addition, many treatment-resistant patients struggle with hidden food allergies caused by a weakened and compromised digestive system. Food elimination and rotation diets fail to produce any significant clinical results because the real causes (indoor air pollution, dental foci and silent chronic infections, nutritional deficiencies and dietary factors, and toxicity) of their illness remain obscured and masked by antihistamines, decongestants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cortisone.

The Problem: GRS Burdening and Congestion

The ground regulation system (GRS) in patients with allergies is sluggish and overburdened. When the GRS shifts to a Gel-state, one’s detoxification and elimination capacity becomes diminished. [1] Cellular biocommunication via the GRS is often disturbed and the immune system can overreact to common environmental factors such as pollen and common molds.

GRS toxicity lowers energetic diagnostic information and can even falsify measurement values at acupoints. Computerized regulation thermography (CRT), although helpful in revealing dysregulation of this nature, may initially fail to reveal the true functional status of organ/meridian and teeth/meridian connections. In advanced cases, lymph nodes become swollen and congested, losing their ability to protect the body against infection and other chemical stress factors. When GRS dynamics are reduced, pleomorphic infections often lead to serious incapacitating infections as endotoxins (the deadly agents of sepsis) find their way into the lymph system causing inflammation that leads to allergic hypersensitivity and lifelong allergic symptoms that often require seasonal or constant medication. This pattern of abnormal physiology can escalate and lead to virus proliferation, tumor formation and serious life-threatening illness.

Even when patients take nutritional supplements and eat a healthy nutritional diet, chronic malnourishment from GRS congestion is evident. The inefficient nutrient uptake by the villus cells in stress-damaged guts and poor nutrient transport via the GRS requires the use of novel ways to boost nutrient uptake. Our clinical research has shown that the judicious use of carriers and co-transporters in supplementary nutrients is extremely helpful as nutrients are more likely to be transported via the villus cells, through the GRS, and to the cells of the body. When combined with bioactive compounds in plants such as medicinal mushrooms, there is a greater potential to augment deficient immune functions, modulate powerful immune responses, and increase cellular levels of glutathione transferase and glucuronyl transferase. [2-9] The increasing level of toxicity in supplements presents a serious challenge to allergic individuals as researchers have noted that over 90% of natural supplements contain one or more toxic or allergenic ingredients that may trigger allergic reactions, silently suppress immunity and slowly increase the toxic load of the GES.
