KEY CONCEPT An overactive immune system can make the body very unhealthy.

Allergies occur when the immune system responds to harmless antigens. An allergy is an extreme response to a harmless antigen. Allergies are caused by allergens. Allergens are antigens that cause an allergic reaction. Allergens cause inflammatory responses. Histamines - cause swelling, redness (hives)…

There are many different allergens. food, e.g. peanuts, milk, wheat, shellfish, eggs, etc. airborne, e.g. pollen, dust mite feces, mold, etc. chemical, e.g. nickel, medicine, bee stings, etc. 1 to 2 adults/100 severe allergy 5 to 8 children/100 food allergy

Allergens can cause anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is an extreme inflammation response. Blood vessels and airways become too porous. If not treated immediately, anaphylaxis can cause death.

Allergy Testing

In autoimmune diseases, white blood cells attack the body’s healthy cells. Autoimmune diseases are failures of the immune system. White blood cells cannot recognize healthy cells. White blood cells attack healthy body cells. Tissues fail because of attack.

There are over 60 autoimmune diseases.
