Antihistamines As the name indicates, an antihistamine counters the effects of histamine, which is released by the mast cells in the body''s tissues colloidalsolution and contributes to allergy symptoms. For many years, antihistamines have proven useful in colloidalsolution relieving sneezing and itching in the nose, throat, and eyes and in reducing nasal swelling and drainage. Many people who take antihistamines experience some distressing side effects: drowsiness and loss of alertness and coordination. colloidalsolution In children, such reactions can be misinterpreted as behavior problems. During the last few years, however, antihistamines that cause fewer of these side effects have become available by prescription. These new nonsedating antihistamines are as effective as other antihistamines colloidalsolution in preventing histamine-induced symptoms, but do so without causing sleepiness. Studies indicate that ingested oral cyanocobalamin tablets are ineffective in the treatment of allergic disease, perhaps because once ingested, they are directly colloidalsolution metabolized in the liver. When B12 is delivered via injection or lozenge it passes throughout the bloodstream before arriving at the liver. It is during this first pass in its native form that it is believed to exert its therapeutic effect. CLINICAL RESEARCH: "The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes allergic rhinitis (hay fever), sinusitis, asthma,...conjunctivitis, colloidalsolution urticaria, eczema, dermatitis (contact and atopic)...allergic and migraine headache...as colloidalsolution diseases in which IgE-mediated allergy may be involved."1 In 1988, asthma and allergic rhinitis subjects were treated with B12. Total IgE, specific IgE and pulmonary lung functions were taken at days 45, 150 and 180 from baseline. Eight of the 9 subjects had reduced IgE. 2 In 1989 open label studies at two sites in Riverside County, CA in 1989. Sixteen of the 17 subjects had lowered IgE levels from Day 0 to Day 30.3 A recent study in Japan indicates that B12 treatment helps in the growth and division of certain immune system cells.11 These cells function to prevent the immune system colloidalsolution from over-reacting to allergens such as animals, mold, dust, and pollen. They are called suppressor cells or CD8+ lymphocytes. They “put the brakes on the immune system”. this medicationTM is a 21-day treatment of B12 lozenges sucked on twice daily. this medicationTM may help patients with hay fever colloidalsolution by providing the patient’s suppressor cells with the sustained and elevated blood B12 level they need to grow and divide. It appears that by helping the immune system to become what it is genetically capable of becoming, this medicationTM colloidalsolution turns at least some allergic people into non-allergic or moderately-allergic people.
