Medicinal Mushrooms in the treatment of allergies
BY DR. FRANCESCA ARDIGÒ
Farewell to allergies with Medicinal Mushrooms
Rhinitis and conjunctivitis, allergies, asthma, nickel allergy, food allergies and contact allergies affect the body in different ways, leading to a runny nose, cough, eczema, urticaria, angioedema, swollen lips and inflammation.
The presence of pathological allergic antibodies (IgE) causes important and annoying reactions, which are often difficult to eliminate.
Mycotherapy, thanks to its particular mechanisms of action, is established as a particularly effective remedy in the treatment of these allergies, whatever the offending allergen, as it eliminates the cause, that is pathological IgE. Scientists have shown that Shiitake (Yamada, 2007), Reishi (Tasaka, 1988a and 1988b; Powell, 2006; Sanodiya, 2009) and Agaricus (Ellertsen, 2009, Hetland, 2008) gradually resolve allergies.
Moreover, Reishi has an efficacy comparable to that of cortisone and antihistamines, but without the well-known annoying side effects of these medicines.
Stefano, Rhinitis and Allergic Conjunctivitis treated with Medicinal Mushrooms
Stefano is 35 years old and lives in Piacenza. He comes for a consultation because for over ten years he has been suffering from allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis and can no longer stand the symptoms. Being allergic to dust, he sneezes continuously, has a runny nose and swollen eyes that water and itch. He is also allergic to some pollen, so in spring the discomfort becomes unbearable!
He gave up playing tennis with his friends because, as he says, "in order not to stuff myself with cortisone and antihistamines, I hung up my racket."
He was prescribed the "Allergy and Asthma Kit". In two months, the most troublesome symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and swollen eyes began to subside; in six months they had completely disappeared.
The IgE have returned completely to normal and even his doctor has interrupted cortisone and antihistamine therapy since it is no longer required.
Ah, I forgot. He has started playing tennis again, because now the dust of the tennis courts and pollen are no longer a problem.
Debora, Nickel Allergy and Mycotherapy treatment
Debora is 22 years old and lives in Brescia. She works in a fashion shop, a job she loves, but a couple of years ago she discovered she was allergic to nickel and her life has become “a nightmare”, as she defines it.
She is prescribed the "Allergy and Asthma Kit" and begins taking it, albeit "with little hope".
Little changes over the first fifteen days, but starting from the beginning of the third week, Debora starts to get the impression that her belly is less swollen, she feels refreshed and during her lunch break with her colleagues, for the first time, she orders a salad with tuna (which she could no longer do, due to her nickel allergy).
The attempt works, as she digests the tuna without problems and begins to notice that metal zippers and buttons no longer create redness and itching. The skin of her hands begins to recover and the whole situation continues to improve until the third month, when everything changes and Debora begins to go out to dinner again, ordering anything from the menu without restrictions, and to wear make-up and jewellery.
Anna, the solution to asthma with the Allergy and Asthma Kit
Anna is a 16-year-old student and lives in Milan. She has always defined himself as a victim of asthma and allergic reactions, as her parents confirm.
She says she started to suffer from rhinitis in the first year of primary school and became allergic to pollen, mites and dust with serious limitations on her daily life. Her first asthma attack happened a few years later, when she was 8/10 years old.
Since then, asthma has become her faithful companion, leading her to take antihistamines, broncho-dilators and cortisone every day.
She is already stressed enough without the added water retention due to the use of cortisone.
When she arrives in the surgery, she says she is experiencing a particularly stressful time in terms of asthma attacks and the whistles heard during auscultation confirm this. In addition, the inflamed bronchi, clogged with mucus and phlegm, mean she also has a bad cough.
After the consultation, Anna begins to take the "Allergy and Asthma Kit" in association with the conventional medicine she has been taking for years, and after a month she begins to feel better.
After three months of treatment, her breathing has improved considerably. Progress continues and between the sixth month and the end of the first year she says that she has had no further significant asthma crises, so much so that her doctor gradually stops first the cortisone, then the antihistamine and finally also the broncho-dilator.
Anna is happy because in addition to feeling well and healthy, she is slim again. "Asthma has become just an unpleasant memory," she says. And my heart fills with joy.
