No More Allergy Drug-Induced Drowsiness
from:
(ContentDesk) August 6, 2005 -- Studies showed Reishi extract is effective against all four types of allergic reactions including positive effects against asthma and contact dermatitis. Reishi works in 3 ways: -it inhibits histamine release from mast cells-it regulates and balances the immune system-it is anti-inflammatory‘Reishi's anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties inhibit the release of histamine thus preventing or alleviating allergic sensitivity reactions'. Optimum Nutrition Magazine.Reishi strengthens and stimulates the immune system to attack bacteria, virus and cancer cells. However, and unlike other immune boosting herbs, Reishi has the extraordinary capacity to regulate and balance the immune system when it is overactive and has over compensated in autoimmune conditions like allergies and is an approved treatment in Japan for myasthenia gravis, a severely debilitating autoimmune disease.Histamine mediated allergic reactions are chronically elevated pro inflammatory immune responses. The immune system responds as if it is under attack from what is perceived to be a dangerous and potentially life threatening foreign body.
Medical science and drug research are target specific, focusing on treating the symptoms of allergies and do not consider the causative factors underlying allergic responses i.e. the natural defence mechanisms of the body. Reishi works on the underlying cause for the condition and not just the symptoms.Reishi's anti-inflammatory benefits are thought to be partly due to its strong antioxidant action. The immune system and antioxidant activity becomes weaker with age, hence the rising incidence of life threatening infections in older people. Reishi is a powerful antioxidant destroying damaging free radicals implicated in ageing and many diseases, including cancer and one reason why it is called ‘The Long Life Herb' and ‘The Great Protector'.
A compound in Reishi, GLB 7, actually slows production of free radicals. Recent research proved that when free radical damage was reduced the subjects lived 20% longer. Antioxidants have an extraordinary ability to forestall age related changes to the immune system and even reverse many aspects of immune function in people with damaged immune systems. Although new to the west Reishi has been rated the top and most important herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 2000 years with Ginseng in second place and so highly treasured it was traded for its own weight in gold and only available to Emperors. Now it is the most thoroughly researched herb in Asia with over 200 active ingredients and unique compounds that are the most biologically active obtainable from any plant source.
Oleic acid and cyclooctasulfur are the main active ingredients that inhibit histamine release from mast cells.Testimonials ‘A severe allergy to cats has been a problem for many years and was so bad that if I walked into a room where a cat had been earlier that day I would suffer with a torrent of mucus flooding from my nose, red, itchy and swollen eyes to the point of not being able to see and a painful, pounding headache. Two months of Reishi and it is no longer a problem and I can stroke them without an allergic reaction'. ‘I love perfume but even the most expensive and purest caused an itchy pimple rash that lasted for days. A friend gave me Reishi to try and it worked after about one month. Now I can use any perfume I like'.‘Having tried everything for my year round allergies to just about every pollen I am delighted to say your Reishi is the only thing that has helped.
Thank you.' ‘Please send us some more Reishi and Cordyceps they are helping enormously with our allergies and my son's asthma'.A thank you card from a cat breeder who is allergic to them:‘Thank you for sending me some Reishi to try. I can now lead a normal life. I'm not sneezing at all, it used to be constantly and no rubbing my eyes. I do not spend a lot of time blowing my nose (very occasionally now) and I can breath better through my nose and I've got my sense of smell back. My energy levels are back up and more balanced and I do not have such a crabby upset tummy.
All this on just one capsule a day. Now that I have bought some I will take 2 a day'.Asthma relief‘Cordyceps works in some way to open the breathing passages to treat respiratory disorders, bronchitis and asthma'. Susan Clark, What's The Alternative, The Sunday Times, May 13 2001‘Cordyceps is an extraordinary remedy, dramatically boosting energy levels, improving cardiac and respiratory health, relieving ailing kidneys and supporting the immune system'. The Health Sciences Institute.Cordyceps, the ‘Herb of Life' featured on BBC's Newsnight on July 19 2005.
