Here is an example of how the immune system can overreact: food is eaten and gastrointestinal secretion is poor. Food does not break down properly. Food enters the small and large intestines, and undigested food particles enter the blood in the intestines. White blood cells trigger phagocytosis to get rid of a constant stream of such particles. Since the flow of these never stops, the immune system eventually gets “tired” and “drunk.” In this case, the ability of the immune system to differentiate between a healthy cell and a foreign body decreases. The result of such a situation is a “friendly fire”. The immune system attacks a good target and a wrong one (for example, it can start destroying the body’s own cells). This leads to inflammation.

A host of symptoms can arise if proper steps are not taken to modulate the immune system. These symptoms are generally similar to post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome. The main difference is that it originates from self-destruction, not from a virus. Typical symptoms are inability to tolerate odors, dizziness, fatigue, muscle pain, difficulty concentrating, feeling faint after eating the wrong foods or inhaling fragrances or certain chemicals. Digestive symptoms may include diarrhea, constipation, alternating diarrhea and constipation, gas, gas, gas, abdominal cramps, and pain.

This further develops what is commonly known as “environmental illness” or “environmental allergies.” In some cases, a person will develop allergies to certain offending agents. In some other cases, a wide range of debilitating intolerance will develop. This can weaken and incapacitate the victim until it becomes necessary to live in an “igloo-like” situation and be bedridden. In an immune response situation, overgrowths or hostile organisms such as Candida albicans arise. This leads to a series of symptoms characteristic of fungal overgrowth and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Once again, typical conventional medicine does not offer a good answer to solve the problem. Various tests can be performed, some of which are relevant and some of which are irrelevant. Any attempt to fix the problem is limited to a symptomatic approach that is doomed to failure in the long run. My typical advice is not to get high, but to get better.

The naturopathic approach to allergies that cause environmental illnesses is not only to correct the immune system and digestion, but also to restore the victims’ lives to normal. To do this, you need to get rid of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, “lazy brain”, etc. This is accomplished through the proper application of high-speed liquid concentrate herbs, not tinctures, and therapeutic doses of amino acids, minerals, vitamins, lifestyle, and nutritional enhancements.
